for all you voodoo systems out there!

Post by stevel96a1 »

9/6 Jacks or better is the game. win poker is the simulation

2 computers 1 foot apart,

pc number 1 came out ahead 5600$ after a years worth of jacks of better flat betting
pc number 2 came out -205$ after a years worth of jacks or better flat betting

conclusion is flat bet. do not interfere with the wagering in each session (4-8hr of gambling)

what reinforced this belief is that theres a guy on youtube named aceofspades who test each betting system side by side on the same 6 decks of blackjack

i too was curious about my own systems and 1 shoe of 8decks explained it all to me just as it confirmed my suspicion and what the experts say

moral of the story do no change your bet for whatever purpose reckless moves lead to reckless endings

No one knowledgeable changes their bet because they believe they can beat the casino long term by doing so. Increasing your bet is done by humans for purely human reasons. Decreasing your bet when playing overall negative VP games saves money.

Much of the "fun" in casino gambling is in the anticipation and excitement of hitting a jackpot. I bought a lotto ticket today for the two billion dollar Mega Millions jackpot not because the odds of winning are positive. I bought it because I know someone is going to win and I am hoping it is me. That is why people occasionally play above their bankroll even when it's a long term loser.

If you play VP by the math, in time your results will reflect the math. I don't enjoy playing VP like a computer. Like most players, I like taking a pot shot once in a while. If it costs me long term, the "fun" was worth it.

There is no VooDoo strategy involved in these decisions. I am not fooling myself into believing I can beat the casino. I am fully aware doing this costs me money long term. I play cheap enough so it doesn't matter.

Stop the presses! FP broke down and bought a lottery ticket. The end is surely nigh.
Yeah, from experience flat betting rules. That one RF offsets two dozen bad trips. Unfortunately, my 2018 RF was min bet and I'm underwater. Better off drowning and saving myself the torture.

Those simulations bring up no logical conclusions.

sure it does, it shows you could win in gambling assuming win poker and IGT are fair and random

could you explain the no logical part?

i never said you will win and im sure those 2 sims are not in the likely hood of the outcome but still possible so again explain yourself no its not logical?

It's possible I'll win the Mega-Millions tonight, but it's not likely.

Especially since I won't but a ticket....

yea where did i say you will win? but you have to agree

1mil hands or 12months or jacks is still a pretty decent out come

whats the next 9 years into the future holds is totally random :)
