Ralph,

Your bot is a great piece of work.

One thing. If I increase the speed it starts recording the hit numbers twice. This is on single number.

Trebor

Spike,

I imagine that by now JL fully understands your arguments.

Your posts seem to be more about goading him into an angry response.

He's not easily goaded so why not cool it.

Trebor

I'm in the UK JL, so yes I could.


But, I've played on BV for ages with other methods and find it much the same as live, good and bad runs come in cycles.


Also I'm tracking only for testing purposes with 1 penny on red even when a bet would normally be called for so BV can be none the wiser even if they could be bothered.


I'll sort out my figures some time but for now can say that I'm well in profit (on paper) if I use recovery after a loss.


Trebor

Yes and a couple of the losses were due to that pesky zero   


Trebor

In a strange sort of way it's a small crumb of comfort that you've had some bad luck Shogun.


Not being funny and I hope it picks up for you, but that's the sort of thing that happens to me.


In the last two days I've had a few losses. Not back to back but it's knocked my strike rate for six.


Trebor

JL,

This has probably been asked and answered before but I can't find it.

When you have a double loss do you take it on the chin or up the stakes betting against a treble loss?

Trebor.

Ralph,


This looks like being a fantastic asset to the forum.

This is where having a bankroll of 20 times a loss comes in. That mental safety net - knowing you have lost but it's only a small 5% of your total bankroll, is comforting and less of a mental anguish scenario to deal with. That bankroll safety net is the difference between playing relaxed and enjoying your gaming and "panicking" as you've lost some money and you're tense and annoyed that you have lost, and you're down money, etc....

Playing with a smile will prevent greed and over playing to the point where your win:loss ratio is barely covering a loss....less(games) is more(bankroll units) with a few good streaks in between 

I think maybe I'm being read wrong.


We all know this Subby. I'm lucky enough to be financially secure and will remain so as long as I don't catch gambling as as an illness (which I won't). I've never used money that I couldn't cheerfully wave goodbye to.


However, I would get a real kick out of making money out of Casinos when all around think it's impossible.


Plus we would all like a little more. Wouldn't we.   


Trebor

It's a shame that there is no way of incorporating "The wisdom of Solomon" in to all laws.


They are formulated with the best of intentions I'm sure, but human greed and stupidity subverts them.


Trebor

Sam,

That's it. My experience is that losses come on top of each other. Maybe not so often with PB but maybe often enough. If it does average say 10/1 why not keep it simple.

Bally,

For me I'd ideally want the gambling part to be "will I win the next bet", whilst being much more confident about the overall position.
To that extent I suppose you can be a conservative gambler.

Here is the scenario I encounter.  My progression climbs to the point I can't take it anymore and I quit.  When I start again, I start at .50 and the wins come like crazy.  Then I wonder, should I have resumed my progression where I left off?  I would have won.  What if I got a second RFH?

There seems to be no answer.

Sam

I play around on BV play money with say 1 euro bets, the progression goes up, the losses go up, and I give up.

Next time I wade back in with 10 euro bets and make a killing.

Would I ever have the nerve to do that for real? Sometimes I wish so. I don't think I've got what it takes to be a gambler.

Trebor

Sam, I hope I don't sound like I'm whinging because I'm not.

What I'm trying to do is test PB for my own benefit because in the past it didn't work for me. Laying a ghost if you like.

I'm only playing for pennies so never any hurt done.

I'm just asking, should this not win with the basic 3 stage marty according to JL's own statistics. Any winning ratio better than 7/1 should and he claims 10/1 at least. If it does then I would expect the MM plan to to improve the situation.

My reply that you responded to referred only to PB because JL assumed that was my problem.

Perhaps your right JL.

I posted somewhere else that you seem to be saying more and more that PB won't win without smart MM which wasn't a prerequisite originally.

I've nothing against any sort of staking plan if it actually works.

I've just checked. My small sample so far shows a loss of -2. With smart MM it's +28.

That could easily be wiped out by a bad run.

Trebor

I know.

I would need to look closely at my play to explain. All I know is that I have good winning periods and some losses. My bankroll seems to overall stay pretty level.

Trebor

JL,

From when do these stats apply?  In post 24 on this thread you palyed many more games.
