Havin a hard time buyin it. Remember you have double Sagefrog just to tie him, so you got a little ways to go. I think I temporarily forgot you're spreadin 50-1200 so in essence your only apox 30-35 MaxBets up which sounds about right. All kiddin aside, I dont see you as a Lyin type. I believe/trust all the warriors here. Especially kc, he dont even crack a

when he talks. Update scoreboard here in-a-spell.

Perhaps its because Ken has the HTML code turned-off

I'll have to PM and ask. Anyway I got out my michrophone and Recorded a 45 sec message to all you Warriors.:laugh: Whats strange is, is I could access my own file without even being Logged on. So I was confident you guys would be able to open it. It appears you may have to embedd the code or something like that. I'll keep workin on it.

I'm just spreading $50 to $500, not $1,200. I'm a little surprised, too, that I am doing so well. But in real life I have approx 60 out of 70 winning sessions. I tend to stay until I'm on the winning side, broke, or too tired to continue. No lying here. And I am hoping to actually witness first hand one of Sage's terrific positive runs. I know it possible, but they are few and far between. I hope Sage finds one in real life, too. I hope we all do. Well, I have to go get dinner.

Just kidding. Lol

OOH OK, I Thought you were Implementing a 1200$ Maxbet. My bad. Well Damn then, your doin greaaaat! My hats off to ya

I never realized you had such succes. I read all your outings and was under the impression things didnt turn out so well for ya and you just gave it up. Anyway hats off again.

Im not sure what cancellers planning on doing. I think we should have a team meeting or perhaps set a goal for 100K and perhaps get a fresh start?

Id like to hear what others think? I know what you and sage think. Since you guys are doin so well.

There was an error in my RoR algorithm. The download is updated and also has 2 more shoes added to the data.

If anyone just wants to fix the error in the original download, open the spreadsheet and press atl+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor. Find "Public Sub ComputeRoR()." Leave everything as is before the line "'End flat bet'."

Code:

Replace theses lines:
    For n = 1 To 3
        sqrt_asw = asw(n) ^ 0.5
        equivEV = wph(n) / sqrt_asw
        If Not (bank / sqrt_asw > 0 And bank / sqrt_asw < 1) Then
            bank = CLng(Worksheets(4).Cells(3, 1).Value / sqrt_asw)
        End If
        goal = Worksheets(4).Cells(3, 2).Value
        RiskOfRuin = RoR(equivEV, bank, goal)
        Worksheets(4).Cells(3, n + 3).Value = RiskOfRuin
    Next n

With these lines:
    For n = 1 To 3
        sqrt_asw = asw(n) ^ 0.5
        equivEV = wph(n) / sqrt_asw
        If (bank / sqrt_asw < 1) Then
            goal = CLng(goal / bank)
            bank = 1
        Else
            goal = CLng(Worksheets(4).Cells(3, 2).Value / sqrt_asw)
            bank = CLng(Worksheets(4).Cells(3, 1).Value / sqrt_asw)
        End If
        RiskOfRuin = RoR(equivEV, bank, goal)
        Worksheets(4).Cells(3, n + 3).Value = RiskOfRuin
    Next n

The last few lines of "ComputeRoR" starting with "Exit Sub" remain as is as well.
That's the hard way. The easy way is to just re-download the spreadsheet.

Back in the short run...

I fixed my program and started over. After 7 shoes I'm already down a couple thousand. I remain optimistic.

Even winning most of my outings, when I lost I lost really big. Each big loser wiped out several successful sessions. A large part of the problem was not taking enough bankroll with me to weather the worst storms. Ya can't lose in the long run--that's a given. But you gotta have enough bankroll to see your through. I'll be back at the tables soon, but I won't be playing on a short session bankroll. Two sessions as a weekend warrior would have busted me in the real life casino because at certain points I was down over $5,000 and $7,000 respectively. Of course, as a weekend warrior I have unlimited resources, so I was able to fight my way back.

What Language is this in? Just kiddin:laugh: I tell ya KC, when you make up a spreadsheet, you make up a sreadsheet, now. Actually all BS aside, I looks very profecient and its fun to look at. It shows what hands you bet and at what counts you bet them, In addition to how much you won. Excellent and well maintained Data, if I say so myself. You my friend, are a true Warrior. Keep up the Good work!

PS. Have you played any BJ lately? Just curious.

Canceler · Jul 22, 2008

Thought I'd post some results while they're positive, and even above EV by a smidgen.

sagefr0g · Jul 22, 2008

at this point i think i'm worse than the economy

i think it's the price of gas is affecting me. yeah that's it. the economy stupid!

up $31,372.00
13,490 hands

still doin better than expected by gummy

Aslan's Report 7/22/08 1:34 a.m. EDT

Latest Session: Dollars $5,625 Hands 373

..............................Amount.......Hands
Previous..................$35,451.......8,215
Latest Session...........$5,625..........373
Cumulative Total......$41,076....,...8,588

I had it up over $6,000. Had the longest positive run I can remember, up around +19, +20, and went on forever.

What a cool feeling.

Just remember, when you have the advantage, the rule is

What goes down, must go up!!!

williams22 · Jul 22, 2008

How are you people running these simulations?

Canceler · Jul 22, 2008

williams22 said:

We're playing them manually, using software. (At least I think everyone who was using real cards is now using software.)

It sounds crazy, but it is kind of fun!

williams22 · Jul 22, 2008

Where can I get the software neccessary to do this?

jack.jackson · Jul 22, 2008

williams22 said:

Hey Williams, so you wanna be a Warrior?

Its relatively inexspensive from about 25-100$ How much were you looking to spend. Me and Sagefrog are using Qfits software. Theres also KC and Canceler software.

Sonny · Jul 22, 2008

williams22 said:

If you’re just looking for practice software, you can use the BS Trainer on this website. There is also a good one at HitorStand.com. There are some other practice programs listed in the Free Counting Resources thread:

If you are looking for simulation software, Qfit has the most comprehensive software programs available. There are some cheaper ones but they are limited.
