Thanks, Bayes.

Bayes

Whether you or anyone else believes it, I am not working under any GFs.  I said, basically, a number would come up sooner or later--eventually.  Now a person can believe that statement or they can believe that the number in question will never come.  Which is most likely?

So I pick a number, say 6.  I can, with a fair amount of certainty, say that 6 will come up eventually.  It may be hit the next spin or 160 spins later, I don't know.  I do know this:  If I mark that number 6 and it does not come up in 100 spins, it is 100 spins closer to the eventuality of hitting.

I can't believe this is so hard to understand.

I know I am going to die--eventually!  Every day I live, I am one day closer to the Reaper!

Not you, Bayes, but some people are so salivating to find that a person made a tiny mistake so they can jump on that person.  Sickening...

Please let the debate go on.  Bayes has put his foot down, or so it would seem.

So it is basically a reduction of volatility.

This thread begs the question:  Do we still miss him?

Sir, your post is worth no longer a response than this!

OK

I have studied this and it is beastly simple.  I suspect Nick could easily create a sheet for the ExcelBot and we could just plug in a number and see what shakes out.

Nick and I are currently working on an idea I stole and when we're finished with that, I'll approach him about this. 

I would do this:  I would wait for a number to sleep X number of times and then use it for the sought-after number.  While some may disagree with this, I feel it is indisputable fact:  When something does not happen, it moves one spin closer to happening.  Example:  We know the zero will eventually hit.  If it did not hit this spin, it is one spin closer to hitting.  So why not move a tad closer??

I do not--in any way, shape or form--think it's futile.

Thanks, Pockets.  Let me ask you point blank:  Do you have a Consistently Profitable Bet?  One that will make money today, tomorrow and next year?

Not asking you to post it, just if it exists.

While Stef writes the bot and makes it fly, Nick is the fellow who writes my sheets and sheets for many others.  I have put the man through the wringer and others have, too.

Here's a glass to you, Nick!

Is your method the one where you bet on only one number for 36 spins and then wait for a hit?  I can't find the thread, but I pretty much memorized it.  (Snicker!)  Where is that darn thread?

Anyway, you don't have to prove anything.  No one does.  No one can.  No matter what you do some fellow can always ask, "Yeah?  What about the next million?"  And the bloke is right!

Sam

Love me or hate me but you can not forget me.

Who said that??

Hello

One of the features every bot needs is the ability to import spins from a .txt file and run them.  This allows for thousands of spins to be tested in a short time.  Another feature is an internal RNG like many of Nick's sheets have.

Could graphs be just around the corner?

I would encourage all ExcelBot users to send Stef a little $$$ for his efforts.  I did.

Sam

Aw, geez!!  I got up "upside down guy".  One more thing to worry about....

Thank you, Pockets.

Man, if you get the slightest nod from 6, which you did, you must be onto something. 

I'll give this days of study.
