thats what im saying thats the house edge with a full deck(s).but when you sit down at a table you dont know what has been dealt or how many cards are left.so you could sit down at a table with only 4's,5's,6's and 8's left in play so your odds of winning would be significantly lower and as with the martingale strategy this could happen the next 7 times you sit at the blackjack table and leave you bankrupt.roulettes odds are constant i will hit red or black 48% of the time where blackjack unless you have a full deck(s) or a known number of cards its anyones guess what the odds are.Also when i do play roulette which is rare i play poker mostly i dont think of it as im betting black or red im betting the house isnt going to roll either black or red 10 times in a row.and the only reason why this strategy doesn't work 100% is because of table limits.If i had an unlimited bankroll and there was no table limit i could never lose.
you have been watching to much casino lol
"Reversion to the mean", brought to you courtesy of the "Law of Large Numbers".
I was obviously joking about the shirt, but thanks for clarifying that to everyone who has never been in a casino in their entire lives.
Law of Large Numbers is what I was thinking of, been a while since statistics. Reversion to the mean is something entirely different though...and to illustrate what that is using mother nature, Hurricane Katrina came down upon low income neighborhoods with furious anger. That was statistical improbability, and reversion (or regression) to the mean states that it would be calm after that. Calm except for crackhead susan stranded on her roof screaming for 7 days with nothing but Frito's and her crackpipe.
Yeah, I was in disbelief when I saw him post his first strategy that he called "pyramid" but now that I think about it, I think pyramid is just a word the ignorant use to describe Martingale. Still hope he dies.
I never said its foolproof
all sound like nice ways of saying unemployed.Hows that for an
We can't hear you over your chanting "MARTINGALE, MARTINGALE, MARTINGALE."
proves it
Hahaha! Dude we were both being sarcastic. Guess you cant here the sarcasm through a keyboard though...But even if I did make that T-shirt, they wouldnt say shit! That was a simple basic strategy chart more or less. You can buy a card with basic strategy on it in the casino gift shop for like $5. Hell people at the tables ask the dealer what they should do when they have certain cards and they will say "well basic strategy says you should..."
True. Using a chart like that, on a t-shirt or not, is not against casino rules since they don't consider optimal play cheating. Only shuffle tracking and card counting is cheating. I haven't been to a Vegas casino in a few years but I was told many have moved away from hand shuffling shoes of 6 or 8 decks and using mechanical shufflers to eliminate any advantage a counter will have. Is this becoming widespread?
