Mr Singer wrote this which accurately described my point in craps:

"What Andrew seems to be saying is that if one roll of the dice has a 1 in 6 chance of coming up with X, every subsequent and previous roll does also. He therefore deduces that this short term EV never changes no matter how many rolls occur and how much time has elapsed."

To Mr Redietz: I don't think I need a university professor for this -- just a craps dealer.

I posted my comment after a brief casino visit. A player walked up to the craps table and asked the dealer "when was the last field number?"

If you don't know the field numbers are 2,3,4,9,10,11,12.

At that point the dealer responded: it doesn't matter what the last roll was. The 12 (pays triple at this casino) has a one in 36 chance of showing on the next roll.

There was no comment about long term, only the next roll.

And since each new hand in video poker comes from a fresh shuffle and each spin of roulette has no influence from the previous spin aren't these also only short-term games?

It seems to me there is no long-term application.

Now, I do not know of this controversy regarding Mr Singer and please forgive me.
