What happened to the poster Bayes?  Anyone?  I see he started this thread.

When I click on his name it doesn't pull up any contact info like when you pull up other names.


Thanx

Intuition is a neat subject on many levels.  In pro gaming it's a scary deal though.  In the experimental realm, I love it. 
There are some fasc. links on brain wave communications and stuff that's just recently come out.   If anyone wants links Ill put them up.

Thanks to a pro counting buddy Im suppose to meet one of the biggest names in roulette on Wed evening here in LV.   I'll ask him his opinion on intuition and variance in roulette at dinner.  It should be a wildy interesting night.

XXVV...

In your post you said youd tested for over 300k.  Can we view the testing that you talk about?  It would help me have my friend code it if I could see how your scientist friend did it.

Did Semyon Dukach code it and test it for you or was it your chemist scientist friend?  Semyons a very detailed man.   Like I said he would want to know if you were in  vacuum traveling at the speed of light and so on...

Im kind of confused though.. in that.. how could you have tested it over 300k spins if your saying it can't be coded???

I wish youd be more descriptive in posts and less vague on roulette.  You make these ref. but I can't find any info on them when you make them.  Youre detailed in when you talk about pink chips and how they make you feel... but you leave out details when talking about everything else related to roulette.    Im kind of confuse why...

Thanx

Intuition

In another thread I talked about intuition and said that it really doesn't belong in gaming at the pro level.  It also doesn't belong in science as was mentioned by XXVV.  Sorry, I know this may sound kind of rough.  Scientists are under tons of scrutiny with regards to the scientific method and whether or not their experiments are scientific enough. I can't ever imagine a scientist introducing intuition and feelings into an experiment without his peers ripping him a new one.  The scientist would never be published and would end up losing all peer respect. 

The same is true in gaming.  If you can't put numbers on it and code it, then it doesn't belong.  Even if intuition worked slightly, the effect would be so small that the human mind couldnt remember it or recognize it for what it is without coding and testing it.  In poker intution is reading expression, and subtle knowledge of facts about the cards and hands held.  That can be measured by performance.  In roulette its just guessing.  And guessing doesn't work when your playing to pay the bills in bj, slots or roulette. If its going to work in roulette then it can be coded, tested, and confirmed.

Thanx

The scientific method is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.[1] To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.[2] The Oxford English Dictionary defines the scientific method as "a method or procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses."[3]

When Our Intuition Leads Us to Bad Decisions

We often don't know our intuition is wrong until long after the fact, or unless we conduct a scientific experiment that shows how truly wrong it is.
