    20 nanometers. Current Intel microprocessors are built on 22nm architecture, which means I am a step ahead of the crowd. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22_nanometer

    Are you interested in selling this technology?

    I deleted my post, but somehow it reappeared above in a different place. Where do deleted posts go anyway? Could it be a quantum thing?

    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?

    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

    The easiest way to attempt this idiocy is to play at home on PC until large loosing streak has occured, then run to the casino to exploit the correction.
    I play on my home computer until I have a loss streak of 30 hands. I have it set up so the computer plays the hands automatically and alerts me with a pop up window when a 30 hand loss has been encountered. This can often take days, but it's worth it to go to the casino with a near sure thing! (Caution: Be sure the computer stops playing hands after it reaches 30 consecutive losing hands.)

    If I ever do lose, I may have to up the parameter to a 50 hand loss, but with the number of hands required to do that, I may have to purchase another computer and run the two simultaneously, which obviously eats into my EV.

    But I have an idea! I could mail each of you a copy of my program and we could run a hundred programs at a time. At that rate, we could set the parameter to a 100-hand losing streak, which would be nearly impossible to lose at. Anyone interested, please contact zg, as I am asking him to be my contact point for purposes of this proposition, since I may be away from my computer for the next several hours. Thanks.

    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.

    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.

    That Fibonacci stuff is serious ****!!!! The golden mean is a Fibonacci number.

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

    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

    I know. I was just poking fun at your choice of words. Precise statements are important in any discussion of mathematical facts.
