coach belly are you an advantage player.

Flattered that you consider me a mathematician, but if I'm on the roster of mathematicians at all...it's strictly riding the pine. I'm just a guy with a little bit of a math background who's better than average at statistics and probability.

If that is true why do you charge people for your math work?

Unless you are referring to getting paid for my articles, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. While people could certainly offer to pay me to do something if they wanted to, I don't recall getting any such offer and would generally refuse. I'd probably do the math for them if I had the option of writing about it which would get me paid for the writing and thereby make it worth my time.

Not to drop names, but someone on this forum could and has my permission to verify that I did a rather comprehensive analysis for him and asked for nothing in exchange. Actually, I asked to write an article describing (but not naming) the game and the analysis and he said that was fine.

I can't recall ever receiving payment directly for a particular analysis in the past, but perhaps I have. Usually people will just shoot me a PM or text me and I'll do it with no payment if it's not anything too ridiculously long. I'll sometimes decline if I think it is outside of the scope of my abilities (I can't program and some things basically require simulation) or if I can't write about it...but I'll generally do it.

It was the average number of free games that had me stumped. They've put in a lot more machines with that game on it. It's in my rotation of games where I check the progressive numbers and grab a seat if the numbers are good. I keep the notes on the game on my iphone. Thanks again, Mission. I think I offered to pay you but you turned it down. Anyways, any analysis in the future and I would have no problem paying you. If you published an article on it perhaps you could post a link.
