joking southpaw
all ego aside
Some of you need to go to the store and buy:
50 red marbles
50 yellow marbles
take out 10 red marbles
take out 20 yellow marbles
the ratio is now:
40 red
30 yellow
the ratio is now 4 red to 3 yellow
Put the marbles in a dark bag
Would you bet on the next marble being red?
shake the marbles up in the bag
would you still bet?
shake the marbles in the bag 1 million times
would you still bet? for each bag shake?
split the marbles into 2 different bags
would you still make the bet?
split the marble into 10 different bags
would you still make the bet?
there are 70 marbles left
put them in 70 different bags
would you still make the bet?
line the 70 bags up, does it matter if you bet on the first or the last bag?
Why would anyone make an argument that any of the above bets need to be different? They are all the same bet, same ev
Now, some of you hopefully can now see the jump in logic to blackjack.
the marble bags analogy show that the distribution through a shoe does not matter once you have a positive TC. One can bet on the next hand of the shoe or the last.
