Discipline may be the most important talent that a successful AP has. There have been tons of people with incredible talent who had some level of deficiency in their discipline, and it ruined them....
I am no real authority either, but luckily I can write basic code for a basic mathematical concept :)
For a game of blackjack:
A winning streak including pushes (p = 0.4222 + 0.0848 = 0.507) ,...
I was just rereading the thread and came across your question, which I had failed to respond to previously. So, the 0.52 would correspond to the 0.48, and then 0.43 would become 0.48, if we exclude...
I agree I’m rude. Apologies! I have been seeking some clarification on these things, but nobody really cared, so I guess you are my answer. On these online calculators, the following is how they...
Perhaps, before reaching definitive conclusions such as "This is incorrect", it's good to consider what is known as the benefit of the doubt.
For example, you could write: "I'm not sure about that...
Deciding whether to stick with AP play is like pondering whether to double down or fold, ya know? It's a real head-scratcher, but hey, that's the beauty of poker—it's all about calculated risks.
Sorry, I got confused and thought we were in the coin flip experiment, not in the BJ case. With 0.52, it's obviously going to be higher than with 0.43. Therefore, the numbers above for 0.43 and 0.48...
100 units probably means Time to Go.
But there are other ways to take it up to 2 spots. I played with a superstitious guy who was a non-counter. He believed in 2 or 4 spots at the table for the...
I missed this. Sorry. 0.698%.
It seems to me that for blackjack winning and losing streaks, if the streak is NOT interrupted by ties, we shouldn't be using 0.43 and 0.48 for the win and lose...
“This thread should have closed a long time ago, but I'll ask Norm to do as much now.”
QED. That’s how you argue.
“I suppose I've been answering streak questions for about 40-45 years or so.”...
“Your opinion doesn't mean shit in a casino.”
QED. The min-max spread used to be 5-1000=1-200. The casinos made it 5-500=1-100. All gamblers screamed SHIT! Now its mostly 1-10. SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! Im...
I examined Cacarulo’s sim results above but found that Cac probably missed the point here. He lists the exact number of 20-Head streaks as 0.0796950% and that of 20 or more-Head streaks as...
Thanks, Cac. Appreciate the double-check, but, of course, these things have been known (except to toolyp) since forever. I suppose I've been answering streak questions for about 40-45 years or so....
