114.4 Billion to 1 shot in Vegas . . . - Page 7 - Poker News

I've officially given up on this thread. I was going to try and make one more attempt at explaining what really happened but decided fish are going to believe whatever they want to believe even if you prove to them otherwise. I guess that's why I love poker so much, random tards get owned every night and constantly chalk it up to running bad or suck outs.

PS: I love how a picture is solid proof of the event happening. Glad to see the majority of people aren't capable of using constructive thinking to try and figure out what could have cased it but instead come to the conclusion that pic equals undeniable proof.

WAIT....

A poker pro posted this pic and started the whole thing.... then a casino regular confirmed that these displays on the tables are alterred by the vibrations from vacuums.....then a casino spokesman commented and claimed it was just a diagnostics test being done?

Which one is it? Vibrations or diagnostics test? Can't be both.

It might be that they were running diagnostic tests but I highly doubt it. This **** happens all the time at the RIO early in the morning when they bust out the monster size riding vacuums. My thoughts are that running diagnostics tests sound better then our large ass vacuums cause crazy vibrations and screws up our tower for a fews mins while they go by, until new live number replace the duplicated numbers.

well it happened, so that's 100%

but it either happens or it doesn't = 50/50

meaning the exact calculations are around...

the 20 is also exactly 15 spaces away from the 15. and the 23 is right near the 5 so that was a clear screwup spin.you think thats random guys?

The dealer clearly had something timing down to hit the 19 and 20, count the spaces its all "too random" to be legit. the fact they were both 15 spaces apart from the main numbers hitting + the fact the "screwups" are right near each other convinces me

that is a european wheel for starters

You didn't read your own source. This article does NOT say the Martingale system has +EV.

First, it says the EV is zero in the case of infinite funds for the coin flipping scenario, i.e. when the bettor's probability of winning is 0.5.

We're talking about roulette, where the bettor's probability of winning a single bet is less than 0.5, and where the EV of a single bet is zero. In that case, the Martingale system is always -EV, even with unlimited funds.

The key passage in the article that applies to the Martingale system is:

Quote:

Thus, for all games where a gambler is more likely to lose than to win any given bet, that gambler is expected to lose money, on average, each round. Increasing the size of wager for each round per the martingale system only serves to increase the average loss.

This is true no matter how many rounds you add up.

If you think the system is +EV, let's see your math.

BTW, I'd be willing to bet you a large amount of money that you're wrong.

I don't understand the vacuum thing. It's not altering the spinning of the wheel but somehow solely alters the read-out. I see many people saying this, but no one (unless I missed something) saying why it is.

The reason no one is saying why its does that is because none of us (I'm assuming) are mechanical engineers. I'm not going to pretend to know what the vibrations do to the inner workings of the tower to cause the duplicate numbers but it does something. I've seen it happen on multiple occasions when the riding vacuums cruise through it will duplicate a number (usually the most recent number on the tower)on almost all the towers it drives by.

Just go ask one of the late night pit bosses at the RIO and they will vouch for this. I've personally seen it happen on multiple occasions so I'm assuming they see it happen all the time.
