Hello all, this is my first post to the forum and I thought i'd offer up an application I wrote a while back.
(Removed by Admin)
Hope I got the attachments working correctly.
This application came from something I read a while back about "patterns" having certain average lengths and betting for/against a pattern continuing. It's actually an interesting tool as it makes certain patterns easier to see. The most interesting thing it shows is how many of the patterns "close." For example of you have a BPP quite often, it's counterpart PPB follows immediately or within one or 2 plays. Seems obvious to say, but this app can help you see what patterns are running in a shoe. It's a .Net 4.5 app (sorry apple guys) so you may have to install the .Net 4.5 framework if the installer doesn't do it automatically for you (I tried to make it automatic but sometimes it doesn't work due to rights issues.
Just unzip the file, run setup.exe and if all goes to plan, it will install and start up. To use it, just click the input buttons or type P B T to enter the plays.
- I'm not trying to sell anything.
- This application doesn't turn a casino into an ATM
- This app is not in development anymore, i've moved on to other types of apps and that is the main reason i'm here.
- If this type of post/play is not your kind of thing, please pass it on by.
@Gizmotron ...I've read many of your posts and think that we are working on some similar types of AI analysis, i'm just doing it on the baccarat side. I realize you don't know me from adam, that's why I posted this app, I wanted to show you and the board i'm not some scammer. I've read your posts and saw that you have progressed into AI analysis as have I. I've found it promising like you have. There aren't that many "REAL" (non-scammers) people out there doing anything similar so I wanted to see if you are interested in talking "code" sometime? It would be helpful to have a counterpart to bounce issues off of.
Welcome to the board. Hope it turns out positive. I did verify this member and there are no red flags that I could see.
That is, reference email. Ref IP, etc. Nothing to vhevk regarding content and purpose. Thanks, Glen.
And welcome from me, too.
It would be good if you and Giz can liaise and bounce ideas off each other.
Who knows -- it might even lead to a revolutionary joint venture. Now there's a thought...
I'm not that gullible. I won't download Mr Happy Face's software and unzip it on my computer. I was not born yesterday. This thing is aimed right at me. Because of the size it clearly depends on libraries already on my computer. That gives it an easy path to do some really invasive or destructive stuff if the programmer wanted this to happen. I don't like the name of it either. Anything with "Breaker" in it is kind of a, "I told you so."
We do not need to share code or AI ideas. I have been extremely transparent regarding my randomness observations and techniques. AI is just a basic functionary tool. It's just today's dazzling programming attraction. I used it to give endless examples of my bet selection process to students that wanted a lot of examples. I outperform my AI work on an order of magnitude of several times when I just play live at a casino. It all comes down to how much functionality you want to program into the App. AI is just a wow status symbol. Now if you have programmed a brain that learns and programs itself then that is impressive. Beating Roulette is too simple to need to learn beyond what works.
So we'll take that as a 'no'.
Mind you, I too would be reluctant to run a program from someone who has only just joined and about whom we know nothing.
That would be a very good way to install malware, a keylogger to grab passwords and the like, to steal ones identity, and deliver a payload that will trash the OS on a certain trigger -- assuming our newbie intends harm.
But what if he/she is completely innocent of all those calumnies? O:-) What if the software is no more or no less than it purports to be?
Regarding potential malware, you can always upload the file to virustotal to check it before running.
https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/upload
Just be aware that there are usually one or two false positives.
Of course, even if an executable passes the tests it doesn't necessarily mean that the program is safe, but it's better than nothing. Perhaps ironically, free software is often perceived as potentially more dangerous than paid-for software, unless it's open source and you compile it yourself. More and more programs are being run through a browser these days, which is really the only foolproof way, as long as the browser is secure.

I'm totally with Gizmo on this, mind boggling that somebody expects somebody to download an .exe file then expect you to run it, :thumbsdown:
Perhaps esoito might be keen??
Playing devils advocate, but I am not an IT guy, all I know is running Fire Fox and other apps that were set-up on my office commuter equipment, rather than straight off the browser, etc., I have had virtually no problems opening files from business related matters.
However, I do not engage in what some of you do and Gizmo does. I will leave that up to you guys.
I have had contact with this w member through email, he has confided in me what forum he is currently on and the reasons to join ours as well as other personal info, etc.
I ran a few checks on his IP, his email and other things because of his initial contact. Nothing came back with commercial ventures or negative red flags. However, 'by proxy' and 'fronts' are always possible with anyone on the internet. If someone will go to a Fed Ex location or another 'public' computer or other computer that not effect their own system and open this and found out what it is, that would be great. If not and there is something negative here, it needs to be removed.
Please update. Thanks, Glen.
It's just a .Net application that displays patterns that I wrote a couple of years ago. I thought i'd offer it up as something slightly interesting, just to make an introduction, maybe some friends and start a conversation with a fellow developer.
As esoito said, "I'll take that as a no."
Glen, sure, vet the app, if its something you want to keep on the board someone might find it interesting.
Thanks Glen and esoito, best wishes to everyone.
I sent you an email, f you like--you can respond to it and we can possibly make the road a bit smoother? Read it, thanks, Glen.
As far as the rest of the members here, maybe you were too hard on this person and just maybe his attempt to join up and converse with legitimacy should have been done in a different way or after a bit of existence on the board, maybe not? Anyway, read the following which are my thoughts on joining up and attempting to 'fit in'.
On the message boards, usually by history, which you might or might not know, first posts that request things or bring forward great successful systems or publications, etc., are generally and with the majority of them---usually resulting in spam-sales-phishing-cons-and many other types of similar people portraying themselves initially as, wanting to help and explore or assist everyone in the gambling community. On the other hand, there are those that have a total innocent motive and they are real, trustworthy and are no different than myself, you or other members of long-standing backgrounds on a message board, etc.
As well, outside the message board communities, being in unrelated business fields of various types over the past 3-4 decades, an employer or manager of a business usually looks a bit more cautious when a brand new potential employee comes to him offering a level above what the regular 'run-of-the-mill' employee usually does. Of course, some of those people offering to make the employer all kinds of money and outperform any 2 or 3 workers might actually be 100% what he says. But all managers and employers have experience with those kinds as well. And yes, I have had some people that came to me looking for employment and promised everything and I wished everyone else were exactly like them. On the other hand, the exact opposite happened within a short period of time and the experience with that particular person was a complete waste of time, money and energy. However, the good gets mixed with the 'not so good' in, most everything we do.
Thanks, Glen.

Vet the entire zip file. The app might be clean but the zip file could be nefarious.
I would suggest discussing your views on what it was that your software attempted to accomplish. You created a decision making process based on conditions that the software observed. It must have had some kind of awareness capability. Just say what it is. I don't need to look at a chart. I've seen tons of them.
I tried to change the world between 2004 and 2007. I invented my own unique version of the internet. I created a hybrid version of a melting together of HTML 3.0 and an unauthorized version of XML. My download files were all scrutinized by security experts before being available to the public. I built the cross platform browsers that supported the new markup language. It died on the vine. It is not true that if you build a better mousetrap they will beat a path to your door. I know that timing and the perception of value are far more important than innovation.

There's a windows version too. It was and still is a work of art. It can't get a virus. It downloads an entire website in a single compressed file. It can store the websites in single files or it can append the web pages to an existing file. All the images travel with the markup language, like a PDF file does. The user can make changes to each file they download. Like for instance, recalling important passages by tagging the sections of a website with memorable phrases that jog the memory. It can be used to publish a weekly newspaper or give out a business's catalog. It can archive a discussion forum.
My point is that there is a way to share software that gains the public trust. Softpedia cleared my shareware downloads. It's still up at TuCows.

I have talked to this 'member-that-attempted' to come on board.
He had some problems with his first 'handle/name' that he signed up with some time ago. Reason being, he is active on another board and with the attitude and the Admin of that board, he desired a different name on our board, which I agree with. At first I thought it was a bit suspicious, but he reasoned it out and was pretty much spot on in relation to how the other board could and probably would view his membership here, etc.
He could have done numerous things by proxy and by '3rd person', etc., and still reinvented another name for our board, thus did not have contact me and wipe out his first account, etc. But he wanted to do it the 'right' way, or the 'proper' way, should I say.
I have his cell phone number, his real name, his primary email address, I even have a county tax assessor read-out on his residence ownership with his name on it. His IP address I have verified is located at the residence he told me he resides at and requested I verify it so he could be a 'real person' here, etc.
This gentlemen, IMO, is not a fake, a phony, a scam artist or anything of the likes. I won't go into anything else, but he is a real person, without a history here or elsewhere and I have no reason to doubt anything he said and his motive is strictly as he so stated. Could I be wrong, yes. However, I have not one inclination that I am, or he has lied, or he has bad motives, etc. none whatsoever.
You guys are the community. I did my job for my board in the verification of this gentlemen and attempting to bring him on board. I understand his concern about the 'other board' and I am familiar with them somewhat and that is the only reason I have all of his information at his own request and authorization for me to verify and set up a new account here after the deletion of the original one.
None of the info will be released to anyone, I assure you it is real, non altered and I verified it honestly and accurately.

Running executables have nothing to do with your browser, other than provide a mechanism which to download the file. Exe's interact directly with the OS, which is why everybody needs to be extremely cautious when running from any unknown source (even trusted sources are prone to including Malware). Best practice, never ever do so.

Softpedia is ripe with adware / malware in most of their D/L's. Potentially installing code to use your free CPU cycles for crypto-currency mining. Used to use tucows back in the 80's/90's, amazed it still exists.
I could create software with a happy face logo that does all that it says it does. It could also open a port through your firewall and upload everything on your desktop file.
To find open ports on a computer, you can use netstat command line.
1.) To display all open ports, open DOS command, type netstat and press Enter.
2.) To find open ports on a computer, you can use netstat command line.
3.) To display all open ports, open DOS command, type netstat and press Enter.
4.) To list all listening ports, use netstat -an |find /i "listening" command.
5.) To see what ports your computer actually communicates with, use netstat -an |find /i "established"
To find specified open port, use find switch. For example, to find if the port 3389 is open or not, do netstat -an |find /i "3389".
You can use PULIST from the Windows Resource Kit to find which process is using a specified port. For example, pulist |find /i "4125" may display
Process PID User
mad.exe 4125 Chicagotech/blin
Or you can use tasklist to find PID.

Esoito most certainly is NOT keen! :thumbsdown: In fact, two posts above yours I even explained some potential pitfalls -- you missed seeing it :(
Not keen, that is, on my main PC. But I have a 'dirty' PC on which I have sandboxes and several virtual OS on which to test and experiment as part of penetration testing and software testing.
Having completed several penetration testing courses I'm all too aware of the tricks black-hat hackers get up to to gain access to others' devices.
And a classic method (one of dozens) is to dangle 'attractive' software as a lure.
The pattern break app, what it show(ed)....
I'm not espousing a method of play, or trying to apply a method.
This tool is just designed to make the common patterns a little more observable and digestable. that's all.
It could be used for practice, to help train your eye or during online play to get some insight into the shoe.
In a nut shell, i've graphed the possible patterns and grouped them as follows
pbp
bpb
ppb
bpp
pbb
bbp
ppbb
bbpp
pppb
bppp
pppp+
bbbb+
The patterns that are completed get a green numbered "series" of boxes
The patterns that are "almost" complete are highlighed in yellow, meaning they within play of being completed.
(Screenshot 1)
The green boxes labled 12 12 12 = a PBB pattern that has already completed
Right below it you can see 2 yellow boxes as it's complimentary pattern BBP is "almost" complete, needs a player to "close".
You might or might not decide to place a bet on this information.
The patterns don't always close (Screenshot 2) which i've found is pretty indicative that a "run" of patterns is over.
Using the green "12 12 12" boxes we looked at earlier. You can see its counterpart needed a player to close but banker went to 5,
leaving that pattern "hanging"
I'd say a lot of this information is known to the more experienced players. But it might give some additional insight to some.
Run a few shoes through it, see if it helps.
(Screenshot 3) = a "real" shoe I collected from the Costa Rica online casino last night
Not a hacker, shared my FB, Linked In and local property tax information with Glen. We chatted for a good while about family shared pics etc... Good conversation thank you Glen!
The sentiments are totally understandable though. Lots of bad guys out there. I'm just not one of them. Best wishes.
Well done, AI, for understanding PC-literate members' reservations about the software, and responding well.
Keep that up and you'll soon become an accepted and valued member of the 'family'. :thumbsup:
You could then find a more receptive response to your offer of the software.
So take heart -- and keep posting!
This member is not fake or a troll. This member is 110 percemt verified.
This member is a computer related career person.
Please do not demean or accuse him of anything except being interested in AI and our board.
Thanks, Glen.
There are so many sock puppets here using aliases to talk to each other that I'm actually confused by who is real and who is truly fake. I'm frankly sick of this BS. I'm very sad to say the dragging up of past postings is going flat. It's nearly impossible to zero in on an actual case of coherence. These are the wiggling death throws of another great gambling forums. RIP Betselection.cc.
I can't believe it.
Can't believe what??

Mark, I think I agree with you?
First, I know nothing about the other forum, if you are referring to G.G.
Second, as far as digging up old posts from the past for drama, pointing out about the OP and what they said or the context it was said in, should not really happen. We will let it happen once as Esoito said. Say it and get it out and be done with it.
I will make 3 or 4 sentences about this in a thread after I finish this, that will address just that.
Going on other boards to bash this one, myself or other members, it is done on some boards and other boards will not have it. That will not exist here.
So , can our new member repost his app. now ? I would very much like to have a look at it.
I see no reason why the link should not be reinstated if the OP desires to continue.
I took the action to delete as requested by several known members and also based upon (as explained) a 'first posting'.
Although since, I have established contact with the OP and he is real, IMO a non-scammer and does not engage in other commercial sales or affiliate types of postings. He gave me his personal information and we have talked off the board. I do trust him as much or greater than a regular member at this point with no history of hatred or problems seeking revenge of some type, etc.
If he so desires, he is free to post.
As always, we all know any link here, or elsewhere can lead to problems with a download, I have had it happen off of the message boards many times.
Thank you, Glen.
Hello all,
My apologies that it took me so long to re-post this application. Life definitely happens. Here is the pattern break application again. If you have any questions please post or PM me, I will try to log on more frequently.
Hi AI -- I for one am very grateful for your return and re-posting this and also thanks to Alrelax for his assistance with this.
Unfortunately it's not working AI. I have tried downloading framework 4.5 and a pop up screen states that I already have this version and higher on my system.
Any ideas on how I can get this working ?
Cheers.
p.s. It states that application " is missing required files " I have attached the details report.
The install packages can be annoying my apologies if I didn't get it correct.
Lets try this, i've attached the exe, no install required.
Just rename the exe from PatternBreak.exe.doc to PatternBreak.exe
Click and see if it will run.
Let me know if it runs. Either way i'm going to look at the install package.
Thank you
Hi AI -- When you initially download the file and open the download folder it has already listed as a .exe file and not as a .doc file,so obviously the name change has somehow already changed ( not by me ).
When I open the file under " column break " heading it says " this program can not be run in dos mode "
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
