Team play

[Freightman]

Freightman, when you calculate the EV of your past results you're not counting the times when you bust and you grab your bet off the table and run out the casino are you? You shouldn't count those times it will skew your numbers.

Cant say that I have - however - I do confess to just now squandering this months gross profit on a nice prime rib dinner. Wife had an incredible chicken pot pie - I know because I sampled it New top end restaurant in our neighborhood with a background of light piano jazz

My guess is that on the need for management control, nuance play would be prohibited standardizing actual play potentially limiting EV to a long term max equalling computer simulation - though it’s been said by high end players that long term EV is usually below actual simulation.

As I’ve often espoused, with an arsenal of weapons in my personal toolkit, EV exceeds simulation.

I think I know what you are getting at here, but a link to a post where you explain what you are doing if one exists. If not a short, rough guide to your exploits would be very interesting if wouldn't mind. We don't need to know specifics that might compromise your plays obviously.

Beating sims is easy. Determination of whether RC is going up or down is paramount to success. Monster counts with True continuing to rise is not advantageous to that point in time - advantage presents itself as count decreases - rather I’ve articulated many times about various theories, some well received such as opposition betting (Blackbelt in Blackjack), dual ramp or variable single ramp - others not so well received such as concept of QTC (quality of true count), FBM ASC Advanced.

The biggest issue is a view that simulations essentially incorporating the theory that maximum success is predicated on knocking it out of the park each and every time at bat. My view is that limits long term success to a value arrived at by simulation. Further, maximizing revenue is more about results over N sessions.

After meticulous record keeping over several years, I determined weaknesses in my game. My average dollar loss exceeded the inverse of my average dollar win by a significant margin, though I was blessed with a higher than average % session win rate. I calculated profit increase on an ever increasing % session win rate with a continuing reduction of average $ win accompanied by a significantly greater $ loss %. My pet theories evolved - Improved results were staggering.

Here are some links to a couple of threads.

And so, the game is afoot, and I am agog with anticipation.

Very interesting, thanks for taking the trouble to explain.
