Just decided to join all the bs. Every post here is so hilarious.

This is only true of the short run...a small sample size. Once you get into the long run, the math takes over and the variance (or what you are calling luck) associated with the short run or small sample size, no longer matters. Now we can argue exactly what constitutes the "long run" or a big enough sample size that "luck" or bad variance no longer matters. That is for the math guys to figure out with formulas and such.
But I know in blackjack, I have had 4 different six month periods that I have made no money. That is playing almost everyday, (5-6 days a week), 30,000-40,000 rounds. Zero profit. Each of these 6 month periods consisted of an initial backwards trend and then recovery back, but still net zero for 6 months. And in each of these years, I still had significantly winning years, and in all but once case very close to expectation for the year.
Alan I know you won't be able to relate to this example, but it is a clear indication that short-term, in this case up to six months, variance or "luck" matters, but get into the longer run and the math takes over. It has to! It is impossible for it not to.
Another example, flip a coin 10 times. It wouldn't be that unusual for 8 head or tails out of those 10 flips. But flip a coin 1000 times and you are aren't going to see 800 heads or tails. At some point the math takes over and the short term 'variance' no longer matters.
Kewlj I can relate. You had periods of good luck and bad luck.
And think of all the billions of times two dice were rolled. One time the two dice showed 11, 18 times in a row. Imagine that?
What kew is doing almost perfectly mirrors the claims arci used to make, only arci buried himself once he provided proof that he didn't even win enough to cover gas money to and from the casinos. I strongly suspect kew is smarter than arci--he'll never humiliate himself like that.
Sling, you're not seriously comparing Einstein's wardrobe to Rob's?!?
First of all, their shared genius qualities aside (and I say that with all due respect), Einstein's wardrobe consists of clean lines, conservative colors, and an understated non-distracting look. Rob's wardrobe, even if it was high end Tommy Bahama, looks as if he stole it from an overweight orangutan who never used a dry cleaner.
Einstein's wardrobe is what one would wear to shoot an educational video. The clothes don't distract from what's being said.
Rob's wardrobe, well, it's what you wear if you haven't checked with your wife first. The outfit's a distraction to what's being said, which in this case is probably a good thing if you're promoting martingale stuff.
Biloxi is still here? I thought Dan was taking care of him?
Quit whining Mr Bojangles, it`s not very becoming....actually it is a little on you :)
Funny you never say a word about your racist homophobe buddy....but that would require some scruples and fortitude on your part, now wouldn`t it?...and everyone already knows the answer to that
Biloxi you are the ultimate troll. At least your alter ego provided some sports info. Fuck off.
Biloxi you're a bullshit artist.
You've done nothing constructive here. Not one thing.
At least your former self posted sports info. You have made it a "forum career" to blast away. Prove me that I'm wrong: show ONE post with any information you shared. Just ONE.
Sorry, you're late. I criticized Rob many times and a long time ago for what he did and what he posted. I blocked him from the forum twice but allowed him to come back because he was going to change. Well, guess what? Under the ownership of Dan, Rob has gotten worse. I can't block Rob now-- Dan has to. Will he? Well, Dan seems to be an absentee landlord here. I don't think he even bothers to read the forum anymore.
And there was no bullshit with the Redietz package. I still haven't gone to the office. You never believed that I was away on vacation. You never believed that only Tony has the key. You never believed that Tony takes vacations and doesn't spend much time at the office. You never believed that Tony, who is well into his 70s, really doesn't need to be at the office for the kind of work he does. You didn't even believe that I am retiring soon.
You've done nothing here but criticize.
Well, I'm sorry, I didn't see the package. But are you going to say Tony lied to me when he told me what was in the package? There was no need for redietz to send the package. But he did and you got all worked up about it.
Here's Tony's number again: 818 264 1555. Call him. Ask him when the last time I was in the office? Ask him how often he's in the office? Ask him about the contents of the package, and tell him I said it was okay. (In fact, I'm emailing Tony now to give clearance. Just use the name "Biloxi Bill.")
edited to add:
I sent the email to Tony. I told him he has permission to discuss the contents of the envelope with Biloxi Bill but he will not reveal the return address on the envelope. That is no one's business. Tony will also tell you when the last time I was in the office... if he even remembers.
Alan, I`m not your errand boy, and I have no interest in calling your "office"....I`d never said a peep to you on this board until the Redietz package business....I asked innocently, and not even to you directly, what happened to it....what followed then was your now infamous "cha-cha-cha" all over the forum about it.....i said it was BS, so now you`re pissed and want me banned....understandable
Sorry, as much as you, Singer, and Betty wish that was me, it wasn`t....I think Mr Dan will verify I`ve never posted from any other location than from SoCal....if something seems off or leads you to believe I am this gentleman, ask away and I will answer you as truthfully as possible....I do like sports tho, I just suck at betting on them...I explained a few weeks ago I play horses and NL Hold em, but those are rarely discussed here....I have no knowledge of VP or craps which is why I don`t participate in those topics....Regnis asked me some horse racing question a week or so ago, I answered him, and he never replied
Post your real name and verification of such. Otherwise, most if us will stick with what the coach has said. He's always appeared the more truthful as well as the wiser of you two.
