Thread: More Voodoo theory

    Did you find this post helpful? Yes | No
    Most posters are wearing their silly hats today. You are all cluttering up the voodoo page. Makes it difficult to counter all the misinformation posted. Nothing is independent. Survey: how many lurkers are more interested in the voodoo page? We know all the counters can't resist. There must be some psychological reason. Are you trying to save us from ourselves? Are you dying to know what we know? Are you wannabes? Have you lost all your marbles? Or is just viva the difference?

    Oscar's grind as a betting ramp is deliberately using a less than optimal betting ramp. If it results in an occasional impressive win, it is only because you got lucky. I could just as easily say that betting ten times your usual max bet could occasionally produce some impressive wins, which it will, but it will also get you broke at other times.

    Modest progressions can be useful as camouflage, but do not give any additional edge.

    The NY Kabbalah Center is two blocks away. All this time living here, and I hadn't realized the secret to playing BJ was 130 yards away. Not to mention getting lessons from Madonna.

    The secret to progressions is in the Fibonacci numbers. But that's all I can say without revealing an esoteric ancient Egyptian algorithm known to precious few and based on the Sod level of Torah exegesis expressed in Kabbalah.
    That Fibonacci stuff is serious ****!!!! The golden mean is a Fibonacci number.

    All hail the wise Aslan! We are humbled by your educated presence

    Unfortunately, I am currently licensing it to several casinos, which are using it to calculate exactly how many dollars are in each patron's wallets. Thank goodness I carry a platinum-insulated wallet so as to interfere with the particle beam.

    Yes yes!!! You have just discovered quantum behavior in the inter-space of the world wide web!!! Better call Science magazine

    What's the diff. Make up any numbers you want. The EV is the same if they aren't based on advantage. There ain't no magic numbers.
    The point was it was a good bet spread if you go up and down the spectrum without starting over after each win.

    You can calculate Fibonacci numbers as long as you like, I sincerely doubt that you'll ever get something that isn't an integer.

    There are too! They're called winning Powerball numbers on that winning ticket right there in your wallet...

    Should we tell him, Tom? Naw. Let him wonder awhile.

    x = sqrt(1 + x)

    Pick any number for X. Repeat this about 10 times (using result from equation as new X). You've reached the golden ratio. Repeating 30 times to infinity and the integer remains at 1.618 (golden ratio). Ratios of successive Fibonacci numbers are all solutions to the golden ratio. The following example illustrates the relationship of the second Fibonacci member toward the first one, the relationship of the third member toward the second one, etc:

    1:1 = 1.0000, less than phi for 0.6180

    2:1 = 2.0000, more than phi for 0.3820

    3:2 = 1.5000, less than phi for 0.1180

    5:3 = 1.6667, more than phi for 0.0486

    8:5 = 1.6000, less than phi 0.0180

    The decimal result is of importance here. It is the ratio of the given sequence. As the Fibonacci sequence moves on, each new member will divide the next one, etc coming closer and closer to the unreachable phi.

    Fibonacci numbers, while typically dismissed as bunk, are not just numerology and actually common in fields such as architecture and medicine. They're probably pretty useless for betting progression, however
