KasinoKing's SlotBeater Strategy

[dendrite]

Hi Enzo,

You really started a great debate with your 'chips out the bag question'!

Got to say, when I first read your question, I immediately came up with the 1/3 answer and thought the question was a bit rubbish (i.e. too obvious). I thought it would be followed by a string of people telling you the 1/3 answer and asking for a more difficult one...

I really didn't expect so many people to be confused by it and coming up with a 1/2 answer!

But then it got me thinking back to my days in academia, the statisticians I worked with and more importantly, the fact that statistics is very very different from mathematics

It might seem incredible, but there really are people out there with PhDs in Mathematics that would struggle with the conceptual thinking required to solve statistical puzzles like this in their head. Indeed, I even know people with degrees in Statistics that struggle to solve puzzles like this without using a formula (most statisticians rely on formulas to solve puzzles, rather than understanding the concepts involved intuitively). The professional statisticians nearly all work like this, using formulas, rather than imagining and visualizing the concepts involved

The reason people struggle (apparently), is that to be able to solve these puzzles without using a formula takes another skill that might not be obvious. It is a skill associated with abstract thinking, that is very difficult to teach. You don't need any mathematical qualification to have it, luckily

You obviously have this skill. It's quite a rare skill. It's not 'hens teeth' rare, but nonetheless, an ability that doesn't come naturally to most people

All good stuff, keep the puzzles coming!

You could even create an 'enzo's puzzles' section! (of course, this would mean you would have to give up your day job to explain the answers!!)

We're all adults here with the ability to consider and reject or accept whatever pleases us. It is just tiresome to read threads such as the first part of this one where, yet again, a self-appointed brainiac thinks they could do a better job of this site than those who have already proven their success! Geesh Bryan, Max and Dave, I could never do your jobs ........ and keep my teeth and other body parts, in tact

It is well established that Casinomeister is the gold standard by which all other gambling-related websites are compared. This means by nature it will be picked on and called out more than others. Whether JHV was trying to take a shot at CM or KK, simply promote his own site or some other motivation (apparently only Enzo knows for sure ) it seems clear that he chose to pick his fight with maximum exposure.

Just so you know...

...I've been revisiting this issue(s) throughout the day - some meaty stuff. I just wanted to ensure everyone that I am looking at some possible ideas that should effectively deal with this. Thanks for your patience.

Damn, now you are alluding as Enzo did and never explained what exactly he was in fact alluding to. Can you please be a little more direct or specific on what exactly the issue(s) is/are?

And also what you mean by "effectively deal with this"...what exactly is "this"?

Ditto for me, Rob!

I are confused.

I was thinking about this, then compared it to the mathmatical situation in the movie "21". Wouldn't you stick with your case if it got you this far? Erh, I know I'm not good at maths, and probably don't understand the "21" situation anyways.

Hmm I can't remember much about the 21 movie other than it was crap and contained some very bad blackjack advice heheh. But I think they talked about the Monty Hall problem and I think they did not give complete information i.e. the show host knows which door the prize is behind and he always picks a losing door for you, which is critical to the answer to the problem. Again I am not sure as my memory of that movie isn't the best.

As for the Deal or No Deal cases, when you first picked it was very unlikely that you picked the million dollar case i.e. 1/20.

So therefore the chance that you didn't pick the million was 19/20.

Then, when you go through and randomly eliminate another 18 cases, it turns out to be very unlikely that you would have eliminated everything other than the million dollar case.
Mathematically its (18/19) * (17/18) * (16/17) .... * (1/2) = 1/19.

So the total chance that swapping gives you the million is 19/20 * 1/19 which is exactly 1/20.

So you end up with 2 cases with a 1/20 chance of being picked - thus the choice is 50/50. Good luck if you ever get in that situation!

I agree.

IMO Bryan did a good job of summing up one issue in this thread when he said with an admirable economy of words: "great thread - bad delivery."

Good morning friends,

I've read the whole thread from the beggining (took me some hour lol) but i cannot understand JUV's attack.

Slots are fun , every one of us has a good or bad point about gambling. Others play a lot others a little, others doesn't play.

If you believe you can win, just play and have fun. If you not, don't play. What's the meaning of his attack after as he said 'he lost a lot of money'?

I've lost some money many times to online casinos but i'm not going everywhere to start harrasing and filling up a forum with annoying phrashes to other members. It's just luck, other times you will win other not. If you can't control your gambling needs, then stop it.

Oh and as another friend said, it's GSOS guys!

Obviously there is a problem here - with every problem there should be a solution. KK is promoting a site that claims to have a system or strategy and this system seems to be flawed. I know KK, and I don't think he'd would ever intentionally deceive people. But his system won't beat the house, it never will. It may make your bankroll last longer - but in the end the house wins - always.

JHV is right when he brings up the fact that this site - Casinomeister - needs to uphold certain standards and should be a safe haven for players. I agree - and webmasters should not be using this site to market anything questionable or unethical. So from this point on, there will new guidelines in place for signature links.

As we know, only senior members and above are allowed to have URLs (these aren't only for Webmeisters btw) - these rules are applicable for all:

4.2 - Content Restrictions: If you list URLs, please do not post any ad-copy or advertisial language. The text may not be deceptive. It must be one color and not have more than VB +2 font size.

4.3 - Pseudo Signatures Members who post "pseudo" signatures (fake signatures) will have them removed. These members will be spanked. Don't do it.

4.4 - Linked Websites The linked pages must not advertise casinos listed in the Rogue Pit. If Casinomeister subsequently rogues a casino, a webmaster is not obligated to remove that casino but will consider its positioning.

Strategy and System pages must not claim or imply that a player can beat a game with a house edge with this system or strategy. This refers to the Casinomeister Philosophy that all systems are bogus.

The websites linked via the signatures will not have any content that can be considered "offensive" (see rule 1.5). Linked-to sites must display ethical behavior. If members find questionable links, please contact Linkmeister Simmo! who will review the site.

As for slotbeaters.com, I have to say it does not meet the sig standards. The name itself implies that slots can be beat - they can't. So this needs to be removed. Thanks!

Simmo! will also be the one moderating the sigs btw.

It's a shame that JHV chose the "flame" route after being warned in the past not to. As I mentioned a bit earlier "great thread - bad delivery". He was working on a third strike - and my tolerance was nil when it came to his delivery - which yes, was troll-like. But other members let their emotions get the better of them as well - so I'm re-instating his account with the understanding that he will abide by our expectations.

Is there anything else, or did I miss something?
