            this is what all of my betting looks like:
            i lose a bunch, then i start making bigger and bigger bets until i win.

            1000 30 seconds ago Lost
            1000 1 minutes ago Lost
            100 1 minutes ago Lost
            100 3 minutes ago Lost
            100 3 minutes ago Lost
            500 3 minutes ago Lost

            One i=time i started at 10 credit bets, kept losing, started doing 10k credit bets and kept losing. Then i did a 50k credit bet, lost. Then i did a 100k bet and won and was +10k lol.

              rushy: There is totally strategy involved. It is 50/50, yes, but there are TONS of ways to bet. You can hedge, you can cover, you can bank, and you can occasionally take a winning risk.

              Waffle: Waiting until you lose a lot does NOT help you, and if it does, it is purely luck. That is Gambler's Fallacy. A long losing streak does not make the chance of a win greater or smaller than 50/50. It will always be 50/50.

              Up another couple hundred thousand.

              Rank 3 greatest increase, and I started out in the hole this morning, technically speaking.

                  Ok, basically, Gambler's Fallacy is like this.

                  Say I flip nine heads in a row. Sounds pretty rare, right? It is!

                  Now let's say I ask you to come flip a coin. I don't tell you that I've already flipped it 9 times.

                  Are you going to tell me that your flip is heavily weighted towards tails just because I managed to hit heads so many times and that somehow that streak has to end?

                  The answer is no -- it will always be 50/50. If an event has already happened, you cannot factor it in. What has happened has already happened with 100% certainty and can longer be included in any calculations -- you can ONLY look at the present onward.

                    Execpt there is a way to flip heads 9 times in a row, and roll a certain number on a dice 10 times in a row. or however many, though yer post is right, i wanted to say this
                    :P

                      I'm not factoring in BS weighting schemes or flip methods -- I'm talking pure randomization here using fair objects

                            Lonewolf: What kind of methods are you referring to, out of curiosity?

                            Waffle: I'll tell you for 1 million credits.

                            ^That is actually a very fair price considering you can earn a ton more with the strategy. I am just impatient.
