    If I play a 90% game and my actual results are 90%, I'll get good mailers.

    If I play a 99% game and my actual results are 99%, I'll...

    I didn't intend to neglect my thread, but I need to study up. There was some movie on the subject, but I never saw it. That was around the time I stopped keeping up with pop culture.

    Split or Steal? (casino drawing)

    How would you play this upcoming casino drawing?

    This is an example of a prisoner's dilemma. I think the standard advice is to vote STEAL because you give yourself a chance at 20k if your...

    I'll give this a try. Before video slots when there was usually only one payline, you could bet multiple coins/credits to improve the payouts.

    Yes, it's linked.

    The problem I see with other players is they're more active at higher jackpots. Jackpots remain low for long periods of time, whereas high jackpots are snapped off quickly.

    That's certifiably weird.

    His good year was more extreme than his bad year. If we assume a 52% skill rate, it balances the two annual outcomes at about 0.18% probability each (1 in 550). That...

    I find active management to be somewhat of a conundrum because if I'm incapable of picking my own stocks, then I'm probably also incapable of picking a manager.

    Most of my bets are + odds, because underdog bets earn greater reward points at some of the US-legal books. And some of the promos disallow deeply minus odds.

    People have radically differing motivations. I think some actually want to be unburdened of their money. It sure looks that way.

    There's nothing inherently good about conforming to the latest fads. Many newly popular ideas are stupid and should be opposed.

    Very nice! :cool:

    You found an advantage play for sure. Expected losses at 1c per spin are so low, you're almost collecting the promo value for free.
