      probably; I'll be back after I grab a bite to eat. You should take the rest of my 25k's while you're at it though =p

      I mean; if I can't cure the gambling addiction by losing I might as well win so much I feel no need to gamble anymore right?

                        It's expected gains, but you're right that it technically isn't some sort of real force actively altering the result of any given bet. I don't think anyone believes that it is though, so I'm not sure what you're point is. It's all just probability, and in the case of expected gains, probability of sets as opposed to single bets.

                            I know how the strategy works, and that you can literally get as many credits as you want from it. But losing 5 times in a row doesnt mean youre going to win your next bet, its still 50/50.
                            You can still lose 5 times, place a 500k, take some bets and still win the 500k. :P
                            I just think its silly for people to believe that having a streak increases your chances, because it doesnt. as mentioned

                              The whole point of expected gains is that you are playing the probability of the set, not the probability of a single bet. It is absolutely true that the probability of the bet you place or take will always be 50/50, but it's the set (1/2*n) we are staking our credits on. Not taking bets after a certain point due to your loss streak is an extension of this, because if you win during that time, the set is over.

                              I'm basically putting my money on a coin flip resulting in heads at least once in a set of 10, as opposed to putting that money on it for a single flip. It doesn't have to happen, but it's unlikely that it won't.

                                To continue; the amount you win from a 1/10 flip is many times less than a straight up double or nothing. Honestly it's a low risk low reward style that requires large funds to get anywhere lol.

                                Even if you ride the gauntlet and finally win after losing everything prior to 500k, because you staked for the set you only win about as much as a double or nothing on the 50k. That said; losing that 500k too means you basically just tanked 900k.

                                I agree that riding the gauntlet is a false positive so long as you understand that 50/50 means it's entirely possible to lose 10 in a row. But you have to realize 50/50 is still a fair probability to stake the other 9 being at least one heads.
