no one mentioned foreseeing anything
you must have taken the time to read it, since you apparently have an opinion on it and quoted me, but you failed to surmise i mention nothing of a 5% house edge. in fact i never play slots. actually i never claimed any game to be beatable. what i
did say is that being careful with your money can keep you from blowing it all, and quitting while ahead is the best way to try to stay ahead.
the part that you highlighted/bolded illustrates how i temper what i say. i quantify with vague terms, i never claim anything as a certainty. "you can expect...a lot of the time". how often is a lot? maybe less than half the time, maybe more than half, maybe exactly half, maybe .3532985025561953 of the time, maybe 7707/13654 of the time.
and also what you highlighted is about variance, not house edge. clearly there is no "rake" from my winnings and wagers; the house edge is a concept describing the overall outcome of an infinite series of trials. for any number under 1000, there is no way your outcome will be a loss of precisely what the house edge equals. and since you won't hit it on the nose (well maybe you will in 1/100000 sessions of 1000 hands), you will be either over or under this expected loss amount. variance is more
you know what, fuck it. you're making a sweeping two-sentence reply on all the shit i wrote and not even really considering what it says, so there's no point in continuing to dignify your statements with any further response. and kk, one of the top five (arguably) most senior and respected members here, found it brilliant what i had to say. i know "brilliant" to brits is not all too spectacular, but given who it's coming from, i accept it as a high honour. and all you are doing is saying "zomg lmfao you think you can win you stupid fucks, i'll laugh when you show up broke" while the rest of us attempt to communicate ideas and theories. kk, maybe he needs a sample of some of your play data, to see just how one might go about making steady profits at casinos. i certainly don't accomplish this, but i lack discipline and starting capital, and ambition. but i acknowledge it's possible. peace out cool guy!
