I was testing strategy all weekend. Since there are no simulators that work for the methods I use, I have to play all the hands out by myself.

I played for hours through the worst Dealer hot streak the game could throw at me. Finally I broke out of the hot streak and started winning a majority of my hands.

Today I was back at work at the casinos and the winnings came easy.

I open up the Basic Strategy Trainer on the website and I am winning that also... I open a different casino game and I am winning that too!

Makes me wonder... You have to play through losing streaks no matter what you do... But does Lady Probability understand that your losing streak was with virtual money and not real money?

I definitely understand how the streaks work, I have played through so many thousands of hands rapidly in computer casino games. Their journey is consistent.

If every time I hit a losing streak at the casino, I go home and play through a losing streak on my computer, would I be able to miss the losing streak in the casino?

Strange thing happened to me also today. A micro tornado ripped through a parking lot in front of me. Garbage was flying everywhere within the funnel and it went quite high up. It was 2-3 feet in diameter. It just ripped on by and went it's way...

I am pretty sure this is a serious question, but I'm sorry that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Sort of like playing BJ. Everyone around you is loseing and you are winning.

You have posted this in the wrong section.

It should be posted in the Voodoo Betting Strategies section.

Yes, but you'll hit the next losing streak which coincidentally starts while you're driving to the casino.

but do u understand how the "steak" thinks?

this is the thing you have to think like a steak to truely understand how it thinks and works.

these streaks know how to screw with people and yes they do collaberate together with practice "steaks"

i think we need to catch a new born wild streak contain it and try to condition it, then let it free in a casino....

il grab the net you grab the box we will catch a wild "streak"!!!!!

:cow:

Steaks or streaks?

:cow: What is it with you and steaks, anyway? :cow:

i feel it would be a usefull thing to capture in a box and bring to the casino's with me so i can have winning streaks all the time. would be great EV!! you can grab a net and come along for the hunt to if you want. you tend to find wild ones around back ally games, knocked down casinos, used card packets and closed tables.

i already have a few in some jam jars at home you can buy one if you want $500 but they only last for one session, after that they run off into the wild again.

But seriously... I think it is something worth looking in to further. You will play out according to the averages of all of your hands. If you have won less than your average number of hands you were in a dealer hot streak. The numbers must correct themselves and indeed they do. You will then win more than your average number of hands in order that you win according to the correct average.

You just bet higher during the correction stage.

Also, my representation of the streaks is very accurate. Currently at home I am on a winning streak though my double downs are horrible. So basically I end up breaking even. But that will pass.

That is simply not true. There have been numerous threads that explain exactly why:

Any system built on this foundation is flawed from the beginning. It will never give you an advantage no matter how you structure your bets.

“And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually.” Jimi Hendrix

The concept of streak betting has been disproved centuries ago, yet all of your systems seem to rely on it. Perhaps it’s time to open up your mind and think outside of the box. Tinkering around with the same old faulty logic will only bring you more frustration.

Everybody laughed at me when I built my house in the swamp.Then they all said I told you so when it sunk.
They laughed when I built another bigger and better house in the swamp.They threw a party when it sunk.
They laughed even harder when I built my third house even bigger and better.The celebration when it sunk is legend.
Now I'm building my fourth house. The fools still laugh,but I know my first three houses are all down there. Eventually,I'll be building on top of them,not a swamp.

But if you had listened to them in the first place, you wouldn’t have lost three houses.

I imagine that most people could not afford to lose three houses, so your system (as hypothetical as it is) would leave most people broke. The few people who actually succeeded would have little more than a swamp house to show for their effort. Even the winners end up losing because they used an inefficient system. If they had played properly they would have four houses instead of just one (and a huge insurance premium).

Another problem is that ignorance is not additive. You can’t expect to get to the top of the ladder until you start taking steps upward. Every intentional mistake is a step backwards. Every time you push blindly forward it is a step backwards. Every minute you spend on a fruitless concept is a step backwards. If you continuously make the same mistake over and over again, you have not made any progress at all. If anything, you have just wasted your time, energy and money without anything to show for it. To make things worse, you have removed the possibility of progress by not learning from your mistakes and abandoning a hopeless idea that has no potential.

And, perhaps worst of all, everybody in the world (even those much dumber than you) are going to be taunting you. Then again, maybe they know something that you don’t. It’s always a good idea to listen to the locals.

Maybe that’s not a swamp you’re building your house on. Maybe those materials you’re using are disintegrating in the water and not creating any foundation for future houses. Maybe you should be building a different type of house (perhaps something less sinkable). Maybe you should stop and think about this (and do some research!) before you start building any more houses. Or, best of all, work with a professional who knows what he’s doing. You could save yourself lots of money, and you might even learn something if you pay attention.

Was this kinda like the micro tornado in American Beauty?

I also had a strange occurence the other night. I was dreamin of sitting, In a open field, under a pavilion w/ a Wood Roof, (that you could see through,) In the middle of a Intense Thunder Storm. In the Dream, I saw lightning, break off a branch of a huge oak-tree. Only to wonder, If I was next? At that very Moment, I actually say the lightning come through the Roof, and Strike me In the chest. It was extremely Terrifying, and I actually felt the electricity drain the life from my body. At that Moment, I was able to wake, Myself, through the screams of my dreams.

Shortly after wakening, still shaking, disoriented, and my heart still racing. My house started shaking. Low and behold it was a 5.5 earthquake here in So,Il.(My first one, ever) To be honest, it was the dream, that felt real and the EarthQuake that felt like a dream.

You don't believe me? Play some one deck BlackJack and write down each dealer and player BlackJack. Write it like this:

D: 1111
P: 11

You will find that they are never far from eachother, but one will get ahead for a time and then the other will catch up and then surpass it. The proof is in the playing. Try it. Seriously, try it! See it with your own eyes! You can disagree without looking but you can't deny it when you see it.

The same occurs in 6 deck although sadly the length of time that one is beyond the other is much longer, but they will eventually meet in a moment in time, and not a terribly long time either. The BlackJacks leading the way as the streak is in the player's favor.

Sadly the more decks the more harsh the streak. I wish I could play 1 deck!!!

No, who is Cypher?

But seriously, especially with the 2 deck game on my mobile phone, the streaks are so clear. It's not all one sided, the dealer all hot and player all cold. Instead there are short times where the player will play well during a dealer hot streak and vice versa. It is very much like I describe.

This, to me, is the most stupid comment on blackjack I have ever heard.

Sonny · May 5, 2008

Licentia said:

Hmm, kind of like your overall playing results? You said that you usually win but occasionally have a huge losing session where things “spiral hopelessly downward.” Your winnings are slowly getting ahead but they are eventually surpassed by your losses. Did you ever think that you are playing a losing game and that the odds are just catching up with you? You seem to think that the number of blackjacks should even out over time yet you don’t accept the fact that your losses are correcting your wins and bringing your results back to even (which in your case is a loss equal to the house edge). Are you not worried that you system is based on something called the Gambler’s Fallacy? Is that not a warning sign to you?

Sonny said:

I don't recall saying that it ever spirals hopelessly downward unless I used Surrender or increased on any other hand but a BJ. No sir! It goes down very slowly and then when the winnings come it comes in a surge! On my Hoyle BJ game it shows how good your session is. I can easily win $800+ in a short period of time. I just started at $1000, went down to $150 and then surged up to $1400 in a test I just ran!
