      Well it depends on where you start, and how many losses you're willing to give yourself. Honestly the gains aren't bad at all for what I've been doing, excluding the big bet I won I got nearly 100k yesterday, and I've gotten more before. It does take far longer than if I were to just win a single 100k bet of course, but the speed really isn't too bad if the hall has a little activity.

      Also nice 10k wins, just got one myself!

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.
          Yeah, but it doesnt matter if you take one and win or lose, the probability is still 50/50. Or if you wait and wait and dont take any bets, the probability is still 50% no matter what your streak is. Flip a coin, theres a 50% chance of heads and a 50% chance of tails. if you get heads, it doesnt mean you will get tails next flip, its still 50/50. If you get 7 heads in a row, theres still a 50% chance you will get heads again, no matter the streak.
          I get the whole do 10, 50, 100 etc and you will eventually win. but taking bets inbetween waiting doesnt do anything really.
          Unless this is just going over my head.

                              Expected gains set probability isn't really different from single bet probability. The probability for a set of n having a likelihood of 1/2^n in this case is just as reality altering as the 1/2 probability itself, which as you might have guessed, is 0. There are two possible outcomes, but the fact it's probability is 50% means nothing for the actual results that occur. However, given a large enough sample, probability tends to line up with the actual results. It is this phenomenon that I am placing bets under, except under a set instead of a single bet.

                              Taking bets in between modifies the set, altering the expected probability of winning or losing the next bet significantly. As I mentioned I agree with, this probability has no real world effect on anything, but no probability ever has. I'm just trying to make my bets based on how "safe" I am under the imaginary force of probability.

                                So off topic; is there an archive for every bet ever made in the gambling hall?
