I don't remember, didn't book mark it. They might not be the same charts, but rather just a similar color scheme. I had tried to find the site again after the original post, but have been unable. Edit: read through your blog a bit, it seems that what you are saying is at odds with what...

I think the only major difference between $5k and then adding $5k as opposed to just starting with the $10k is that after your original $5k is tapped you have to stand up from the table. But then again, I'm just a math guy not a pro-black jack player.

Oh, I see, different strategies on dependent bets would give a different casino edge. I made the mistake of assuming they were independent. I think yours has a lower variance/ROR which could make it more attractive. It wouldn't take an impossibly huge amount of spins to determine how good...

Are those numbers based on several people at the table, or just the DCer? Also, those charts look familiar but your blog doesn't. Somewhere I think someone may have stolen your picture (or maybe I found your blog a bit back and you changed the theme.)

No argument here, heist movies in general are fun, the Oceans movies are no exception.

I can't take credit for suggesting that, only quoting it. :grin:

I didn't know that bit about the opposite numbers add to 37. It is an interesting fact if it is true. I'm guessing this means 0 and 00 are opposite to each other. For the second part, maybe I misunderstood you. If you knew that there was a 1/2 chance that the ball would land on 1 of 10...

So now I am forced to do some math. :grin: Edit: If you were able to guarantee a win with your dice control technique, then you would only need to successfully use your technique 14-in-1014 times. Working the odds on a few different dice sets (one for come out, one for each point) gives you an...

They had intercepted the supply of roulette balls and replaced them with some kind of cheating (magnetic?) roulette balls. Similar thing for craps. The slots were hacked by someone who worked for the casino and a back door was installed that would respond to a certain coin-in sequence. They also...

If it is so simple why would you consider them an Einstein? Changing the amount you bet doesn't change the expected value of the bet.

Woah! You mentioned the other thread and I said what I read in a book by a respected author which, I thought, related to both topics. Sorry I didn't possess the psychic powers to determine what your inspiration was. That article brings up some good points such as getting tired and making...

It might actually take someone who worked as a Roulette dealer to be comfortable enough with the sound of a Roulette ball to know about how long a ball will take to drop (and thus where in the wheel it will drop) in order to gain an advantage over the otherwise large house edge. Something I did...

How would one go about finding a biased wheel? Just simple observation?

There was another post here that mentioned something along the lines of getting and advantage with a team of scientists and/or a computer device. Could someone explain how this would work?

If the count is negative, Wonging out isn't a bad idea. But I stick by what I said Stanford Wong said about the quitting while ahead: "Don't sit down and play to a certain win/loss, sit down and play for a certain amount of time."
