    EDIT: Nevermind, I got to the end of your video and I understood your approach. It's not the number of boards filled in that necessarily matters but rather the total number of credits across any row, column or diagonal totalling 70 or more. Original Post: Hey Mike, what's the minimum number of coins one should look for on this game? I remember reading minimum of 7. Found a 2.25 denom with 8 filled in and hit the major for $630. Just looking for clarification when this game becomes a play.

    Viruses are naturally inherited in the environment. They appear to get stronger as our immune system weakens due to consumption of McDonald’s, Coca Cola, drugs, and vaccines. I don’t see our society eating better anytime soon, so we will just have to live with deadly viruses.

    At last. Someone actually talks sense. I do believe that if smart people were to watch your videos, there might be a decline in people putting bets on realising the house wins. Not withstanding that, and I appreciate that this has nothing to do with the above system, but predominantly Fibonacci. I was wondering if you had carried out any type of simulation whereby someone betting on the columns or dozens uses a strategy of not placing any bets until that column has not appeared for perhaps six times and then bets and repeats the dummy spins process. Very slow and laborious, but I was just wondering if you had such statistics. Many thanks for looking if you do see this message.

    No. Either you get lucky then quit while ahead, or you will be quickly wiped out in one go by having to place huge bets which cannot be covered past a point . There is a chance of success/failure in each bet you place and no such thing as infinite bankroll or table limits.

    At (21:15), turning off odds bets on the come out roll is foolish nonsense. Those bets should just continue being in play. Because they àre, after aIl, house percentage free bets (tho even that isn't strictly true because a house percentage loaded bet must previously have been placed to 'gualify' them).

    Hello Mike, hope you are doing well. Thanks for your illustrating. This is impressive!!! I’d like to know if people are allowed to communicate their hand at casino table. I guess it’s a No like Caribbean poker. But let’s assume it is allow now. Then my question would be If there are five people on the 3 card poker table, and 4 of them already got 6 pieces of QKA. Does this increase the chance of dealer not qualify? Hence I could raise(Play) with any 3 card hoping dealer pay me even money on ante?

    Saying no to sidebets doesn't make much sense. I gamble for fun and entertainment purposes. Of course I'm going to do side bets. I have three times as much fun doing it. Especially with the trips+ Progressive paytables. If the side bet pays well. Your wins on the main game can run parallel with your wins on the trips bet I find that I will end a session much higher with the trips bet than I ever will playing only perfect strategy without sidebet. And like I said, before, it is much more entertaining

    This inspired me to create a decentralized roulette crypto protocol. Basically there is a house pool and a better pool. If the house pool gets too high the house can lose money as the payout will increase to where it isn't a static payout like 35 to 1 for one. If the pool is too high then suddenly, the payout may be 70 to 1 and it will increase based on the per unit amount. It is an interesting project and then just charge a small fee per payout so that it is basically a way that gamblers can play a game. The math would need to be 100% down but it would create an engaging ecosystem if pulled off and have a am i human bot check every now and again so that someone can't simply use a bot to do it.

    You only ever win if you quit while you’re ahead. A stop win of 2 units per shoe - being 2 units up means you’re always cheating the odds of any given shoe - to expect more is just fanciful.

    48:07 I disagree with Mike. I don't believe that having perfect knowledge of the cards already played gives you a much greater advantage than knowing the ratio of high to low cards. Would love to be proven wrong..!

    What happens when you actually the jackpot and the reals malfunction. You will play it off and never know you hit it. You might then simply leave the casino. I believe that it’s up to the casino to keep their machines in good working order. I believe that the casino should be held responsible for the jackpot.

  • @emmanuelvacakis4463

    At blackjack , I believe that it’s necessary to educate players who play 6-5 blackjack and continuously shuffled games. The players are not even aware of how bad these games are. You are doing them a favor. If they still want to play, then it’s entirely up to them.

  • @emmanuelvacakis4463
    @emmanuelvacakis446329 күн бұрын

    Having perfect knowledge of cards played does give the player a substantial advantage over a plus minus player. Especially as the shoe runs out. The computer will tell you exactly how to play the hands mathematically perfectly every time. The computer will uncover player advantage hands that the plus minus will miss, and also house advantage hands that the plus minus will recognize as player advantage hands. Just remember that a 5 is more than twice as bad as a 2. A 9 is a player advantage card. The plus minus misses both cases. And if you don’t keep a separate count of aces, you will be playing the hands wrong unless the aces are statistically being removed evenly. If you get just 1 percent more, that’s huge.

    Very nice video. It’s important to point out that unless your bet selection win rate is over 50%, you will consistently lose. Another variation of this would be to start with a 3 unit bet, then increase 1 unit upon a win and decrease 1 unit after a loss. This reduces the “slope”. So let’s say your normal bet size is $90, then that’s your start bet, if win, next bet is 120, if win again, then bet $150, if you lose the $150, reduce to 4 units $120.

    It’s NOT about timing at all. It is ALL about bet selection. Picking one side and staying on that side is a recipe for disaster. You should change your bet selection as you see which side is the stronger side. There are many other factors but the dominant side is just a primitive example .
