Bear with me, this is a bit of a wordy explanation but I don't know how else to explain it.
Once upon a time, I got the idea I could beat the marginal odds enjoyed by casino's at the roulette table and decided to test my theory using online betting sites.
Standard distribution tends to follow a bell curve, and it's at both extremes of that bell curve that I felt it was possible to manipulate the odds slightly in my favour.
A typical roulette wheel has thirty seven numbers, 1-36 and a zero. I mention the zero separately becaue that is the house advantage. The reason for this is that all the other numbers can be bet on in various ways.
Odd/Even, 1-12/ 13-24/ 14-36, Black/Red and three 'rows'. None of these methods include the zero, so every time zero comes up the house wins everything (if people bet on zero they have reduced their odds of winning massively down to 1 in 37 so they don't do it).
Obviously it's possible to string together a short run of wins for the punter, but over time, for the casino, that 1 in 37 advantage is what makes it profitable.
Now, in order to overcome this I decided to use a martinet system as a base. Simply put, this is where you start your first bet with 1, and if you lose you double down until you win, then you go back to betting 1 again.
This theory is totally impossible to win with because roulette frequently throws up runs of reds, or blacks, or evens etc. so that the doubling affect quickly hits house limits on bets and you lose a huge amount of money.
However, it is possible to pre-load the odds and limit the doubling by bailing out of a run once it hits a certain amount. Also, betting on the 1 in 3 odds sectors can eke the raising cost to a few more spins before hitting the limit.
Now, I tried various different levels before hitting on one that worked in theory and tried it out for real with real money. I made money for two weeks and then it wouldn't work again, ever. So I adapted my theory and tried again.
Once more it lasted two weeks and then failed. This happened six times in a row, forcing me to conclude that they had a smart system running on their casino that analysed bets and worked out any pattern you might be using, then interjected a losing bet at the critical point to ensure you lost. Not enough to form it's own pattern in isolation, but I detected it due to the pattern of its operation.
So what I did then (at this point I was down £3000) was to combine all 6 variations at once. This was a nightmare to track six differnt betting patterns simultaneously without losing track, but I managed with a few mistakes here and there.
Over the course of the next month I not only made back my £3000 I made £800 profit. At which point I invested the £800 in a new laptop and exercise bike and quit due to nervous exhaustion.
I tell you all this because my mind is starting to recognise that there are many plans in motion, not one. Each plan exists in its own right and is not dependent on the others if one should fail, the others pick up the slack.
Overall there is an inexorable progress towards victory, but when most people try to analyse 'the plan' they are overwhelmed by what appears to be chaos and things that don't seem related. Again, this is because there are multiple plans in motion.
It would take an advanced AI to analyse the patterns and pull out all the various plans that are consistent within themselves. I can only tell that this is happening because of the above experience and the way my mind 'feels' numbers etc.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading, and well done! ( and welcome to a glimpse into my mind that I rarely share).
Very astute.
This is the same way they have gamed the election system.
Not just one facet of their scheme put them over the top, be it mail-in ballots, destroying/deleting ballots, switching votes with the machines, or running ballots over and over again.
Each one added up, and then they get to claim individually that each wasn't enough to sway the election.
Sure, EACH didn't do enough to swing the vote, but ALL TOGETHER they did.
Then they can, as you did, dance between protecting the various methods through the media, and by the time you finally have a comprehensive mapping of their control scheme, enough time has passed that they've already cashed out and are looking towards the next election cycle.
Either way you cut it, it's all about finding a system that's impossible to predict. By switching between various methods as you did, you managed to introduce a significant degree of randomization that cannot be accounted for because your whimsy in choosing a particular method order is not something a computer can reliably quantify.
Ultimately, it touches on what makes humans unique -- the ability to make radical decisions which follows no predictable pattern. In other words, humans can base decisions not on conditioning, behavior, or static random noise. Humans can pull decisions and ideas out of a place only God can conceive of with perfect clarity. A place between places, a thought between thoughts.
Bing, bang, boom -- you beat the "system" because you're a human who constantly redefines the constant variables, which makes them not constant at all.
Esoterically, this is called the Divine Spark.
You put it to use, applied what you knew, and created a system that demands the scope of the universe, in this case the casino's algorithm, to expand to contain it.
That's what divinity is made of. Manifest Destiny, yo.
Very nicely put. The only small point I would make is that I used all the various methods at the same time, not just in a random order :)
How many games were you running at once?
I thought you were involved in one game, but used 6 methodologies.
Were they in tandem, as in, you made several bets at once, or was it one bet for one methodology per spin?
If it was the former, where you made several bets at once, then hat's off to you, that incredible.
It was six bets at once, all tracked seperately. Each bet with a different methodology.
I wouldn't recommend it ;)
You must be really smart
In some ways :) In others I am a moron, but I try to work on those.
Humility is a strong trait of yours. ;)
It's hard to tell how tongue in cheek that comment was :p
Are you Aspergers? You remind me of my son. (That's a compliment, btw.)
I have severe ADHD, but I think I might be some other stuff too that's never been diagnosed. It helps being blessed with a high IQ, but I would trade IQ points for more intuition any day of the week.
I spend a lot of time trying to improve where I am weak (rather than just doing what I'm good at) and intuition is a weak force in me, but I have been learning to listen to it more and act on it. It really helps to have a wife who is very intuitive, bordering on psychic afaik.
WOW.
Nicely worded connection between the post and voter fraud.
Fantastic analogy!
Interesting insights. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for reading :)
My mind is knotted up like a pretzel now but I think I followed. Usually my eyes glaze over with numbers and math, but this is a fantastic analogy
Thank you. I often have a hard time explaining my thoughts to others, they're not very linear, so I'm glad this was understandable!
Aside from the multiple facet approach ( I believe this is the case also)
How you come to the concept is compelling and inspired a couple of thoughts.
First, the idea of Zero as the trickster. Bringing all to the zero sum balance. (see tarot).A Great Reset, so to speak.
I find it fun to muse how a coin toss is said to be 50/50 chance, but on retrospect was 100 percent, same toss. lol
Conscious NOUS enters the stage.
What you describe seems to my ears to be connected to an idea related to so-called 'String Theory'. With sets of potential futures.
However, that theory twists potential future realities into seeing them as actual simultaneously occurring ones. This neglects implications in Schroedinger's theoretical experiment as to these 'realities' being only potentials which then collapse upon the observer's observation or choice of action, with new sets of probable futures ....
This door opened and that 'hallway of doors' looked down..... futures...each door having its own set of probabilities that String Theorists misunderstand as 'realities' by confounding them with dimensions.
if that sounds confusing, it's only because it is. And always will be, when the part attempts to define the whole.
So is the NEXT coin toss still 50/50 after it has come up heads 5 times in a row? Why or why not?
Why was the 'law of probability' broken so badly in that run?
What can explain my sister-in-law praying for a miracle, going into a casino and with one pull win 90k on a slot?
So we project with math which is by nature retrospective.....as probability which attempts to control the uncontrollable mystery behind the order of numbers.
One can try to control the whole by creating a system out of the gamble, but when you least expect it, that trickster will find a way to zero the balance, and this is why the Joker/Trickster is so huge right now.
The Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice are fickle. Don't bet the house or the house will win. Just don't tell that to my sister-in-law. kek
I think I grasp what you are saying, but it's more of a feeling for me than an analytical concept.
I once had a run of 17 black numbers in a row, each one with an almost 50/50 chance of happening, but combined the odds are quite remote.
bingo..our instincts are WHAT THEY CANT CONTROL..thus they have to throw multiple "choices" at us to throw us off...on top of that they bombard us with horse shit...once you see this you can't un see it
17!
Holy shit! I never even noticed .. haha
Thank you for the short version: 17 5:5.
The original story is too long for us beginners to pull out the comms. But we're learning...
If you saw comms in that post they were completely unintentional I can assure you.
🤣
Nice insights, I hadn’t considered that some aspects of the plan are functionally moving independent one another despite all being parts of the same idea
Good post pede.. I kinda think that there are a whole slew of independent ops running simultaneously as a black hat whackamole - kinda like the independent battle group model that Thomas Wictor wrote about within the Saudi Military (iirc)… maybe They’re self contained and multi disciplinary and can retool and retask independently of a central command
Interesting story and insight. I think you're on to something regarding "the" Plan being a set of many plans, some woven together and others purposefully independent.
Roulette, where every number adds up to 666 and the guy who invented killed himself because he went insane trying to beat it.
I won't lie, it drove me to the edge as well.
Same, I tried to beat it too. I started blaming family standing next to me for "bad luck". It was like I was trapped in my own body watching myself become evil.
Unpredictability is very important in war and very hard to defend against.
Stupid people scare me for that reason as they are so unpredictable and their actions can make no sense with no clear advantage for themselves.
Other dangerous people show tells and play by a certain game but the ones that act outside of normal conventions are such a threat. That can be a double edged sword for anyone to use.
I also came up with the same scheme a decade ago and found the same results: digitally on free play it works every time. Once you're in a live setting, suddenly you get seven blacks in a row and then five red in a row. The ball was thrown off two different tables in one casino I tried this betting strategy.
Yes. They have a smart system that detects this betting strategy in casinos and purposely manipulate the natural odds. Even going from testing digital runs to live action digital switches to this smart system.
Remember: with gambling the house always wins.
There were times I wouldn't trigger a bet sequence until the results had already been pushed into the 'unlikely' category.
I would wait to bet on red until there had been 5 blacks in a row.
For example, I once saw 17 black numbers come up in a row, but that was an extreme and which was what my cut off limit was for. Once that limit was reached that bet sequence was ended and I took my loss.
This is known as the Martingale strategy (as applied to Roulette)
Thankyou, I thought I got the name wrong when I typed it, but my memory is a bit pants.
Very smart explanation... The large number of different variances in the plan are too numerous for a human to effectively analyze. When attempting such a feat, my head hurts and I feel exhausted. But, isn't that what "Project Looking Glass, Looking Forward in Order to Look Back" was all about. It analyzed the plan and found that all variances lead to the same outcome. WE WIN. Believe it or not, it won't matter at the end.
Thanks. This is something I have never thought of. We are inclined to thing of "The Plan" and then get frustrated when we don't see action. There is action taking place on "the plan" as there are many plans that all come together to form "The Plan." Thanks again.
There is one constant line of events in our world. History. It is THE truth. At the point of what is 'now' looking forward, there is an infinite line of truth. It stays this way forever.
I believe God sees things differently. There is only one line of truth indefinitely. Forward. Backward. We operate on earth here only to try to manipulate this line of truth. Human beings deceive one another pointing each other to which way they they actually believe the truth is themselves, or to which way they want you to go, to their HOUSE advantage. These are the humans we are fighting. And our God given abilities to discern patterns over long periods of time are what gives us s fighting chance of finding a line behind a veil. The evil people in this world have been studying us and our patterns for a long time. And they've decided now is the time.
It’s a giant chess match, in 5D, as they say. So many pieces and possible moves - someone like me is not autistic enough to detect what’s really going on.
But I think most of us that have learned to question everything can tell when something doesn’t pass the ‘sniff’ test. Doesn’t mean we know what’s going on (only God does), but that we know things are not as they seem.
I guess, in the end, the correct course of action for any of us is the same - build ourselves into the strongest person we possible can: mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially, etc. Exercise, eat right, read books, pray, serve others, master our emotions, start a business, etc.
Yup. Well put.
Pattern recognition is an amazing ability. Sounds like yours is top level.
At the intuition level, perhaps.
Where I struggle is trying to prove it afterwards :)
For example, I'm a network security consultant, and sometimes I can just look at a design, or a report, and just 'know' something isn't right. It can then take me two or three days solid looking at it and working things out before I work out just what it is that was wrong :)
I have come to believe that intuition is God giving me a hint to find the truth out for myself. Maybe I am wrong with that logic, though it consistently seems to be accurate in my life.
I'm in total agreement. Intuition is our relationship with Truth, which is the same thing as far as I can tell.
The 'reality' of our situation is that we are physically far removed from God and He communicates with us via our energy, which manifests as that 'gut instinct' we all hear so much about.
Learning to trust that instinct and make its voice louder had a 1:1 correlation with me becoming closer to God (with some not inconsiderable help from JC &Co. - long story). Now nothing and no-one will come between me and God, and I strive every day to become what he wants me to be.
Unfortunately I am weak and often need help. I am also stubborn and lazy, but I never give up hope of improving.
God bless.
That is an amazing analysis of the relationship with my Father in Heaven as I understand it. I have often considered the "gut instinct" to be a discussion with the Holy Ghost & the lessons on truth & sincere charity from Jesus Christ only strengthened that intuition in my life.
Thank you for sharing this with me.
It's an amazing journey isn't it :)
Glad to be sharing it with you.
Neato
So how did the House 'interject' a losing bet to make sure you lost? It's a wheel with a rolling (supposed to be random) ball that lands at random number positions. You bet..the house doesn't bet. Unless I've been away from the wheel too long. lol Serious question. Thanks.
He was testing his theory using “online” casinos. So the algorithm adjusted to his betting patterns.
I was using online casino's
Oh. I wouldn't trust anything online bet related. Even the Lotterys use real balls..because if it's computer based, the house can cheat you out of even your rightful winnings. Hence, your example.
Admitting there are areas of knowledge you can strengthen is peak humility IMO
Ah, thankyou.
Very well said. Kudos to your research and thank you for sharing.
Amazing post. The notion of many plans running in motion all at once is super interesting and actually makes me want to dig into the idea of this "reality" being just a simulation that's mechanized and mapped out down to every detail. If there is a wrench to throw into the gears, it's us as humans with the ability to use intuition to make choices that can't always be precalculated. The algorithims work the majority of the time because most people are asleep at the wheel of life, then along comes someone who "sees" and tests the system. Again, very cool post. Thanks for sharing and for sparking a new rabbit hole for me!
You're looking for meaning in a roulette wheel where there is none.
I've seen a roulette wheel with two zeros, never one zero, but I digress.
There is no strategy to win in roulette, unless you are the house.
In a roulette wheel with one zero, each number had a 1/37 chance of coming up, but a bet on any single number only pays 36x the bet. Betting on odds/evens, reds/blacks, thirds, and so on are really just spreading a bet across multiple numbers, but they are really just the same principle, because it's as if you split your bet into smaller pieces on each number. Ex, betting $12 on thirds pays 3:1, or $36, but you could also put $1 on each of 12 numbers and if any of those numbers come up you win 36:1, or $36. It's the same.
The zero, or multiple zeros, is how the house wins in the end.
You are always taking a 1 in 37 chance (or 1 in 38 with two zeros) to win 36x your bet. You may have ups and downs, but if you keep playing eventually the house gets all of your money.
Any strategies for winning are foolishness. Runs in reds or blacks happen, but they're completely random. No number or color is ever due to appear.
I'm glad you were able to walk away with more money than when you started. For most people that is not the case. You got lucky. Do not think you have skill, because that's what will lead you to a gambling addiction and significant losses.
European and some Asian tables have one 0
It wasn't luck, it was a balance between the probabilty of a run that resulted in a loss and how much was at stake when the bet was lost.
The cut-off was what made it work over time, along with being able to evade their smart system analysis.
As a side benefit, I learned to script in order to generate thousands of results against which I could test my theory.
Also, I wasn't looking for meaning as such, I was looking to see if what I 'felt' about the gray areas at the edges of the probability curve was right or not in reality. I think I proved it, at least to my own satisfaction.
You're developing a gambling addiction, because you think there are patterns that you can exploit for your own profit. That is fallacy. This is actually a fallacy called The Gambler's Fallacy.
Every number is perfectly random. You cannot use numbers in the past to predict numbers in the future. There is nothing you can do to increase or decrease your odds of winning roulette.
I hope you really have learned computer programming or scripting. If you need a place to start, look at Python, because that's pretty easy to learn. I hope you do actually implement your strategy in code and see how it works when you randomly select numbers from 0 to 36. Here is what you will find: if you play long enough you will lose all of your money regardless of your strategy. You may be up for a little while, but you cannot be up consistently. There's also no way to guarantee you will be up at all.
It was python I learned, and please forgive me for sounding a liitle peeved here, but running my method against tens of thousands of results showed me that it worked.
It's also a bit presumptious to suggest I'm developing a gambling addiction when i clearly stated I quit once I'd proved to myself it worked in practice as well as theory.
Hey friend, I just think you're going down a dark path, and I'm trying to warn you that you don't want to go there.
The basic facts are all casino games favor the casino in the long run. That's how they stay in business. And that's how they're able to have such magnificent buildings, staff, entertainment, etc.
Blackjack is a game where if you count cards you actually can get the odds in your favor consistently. So the casino makes that against the rules and has all kinds of ways to prevent counting as well as to automatically detect when someone is counting.
If there was a strategy to consistently win at Roulette, no matter how complicated, smarter people than us would have found it first, and those people would have used it to enrich themselves. I say there is no such strategy, and there is only luck. What worked for you this time will not consistently work for you in the future.
I appreciate your concern, I really do, but this event occurred over 10 years ago and I haven't touched it since, so I don't think I'm heading anywhere in that regard.
I learned my lesson then and I don't care to repeat it.
Hopefully that reassures you, but thanks again.
The plan is driven by objectives. There are only major waypoints (that cannot be moved, such as the midterms, tho we shall see). Interesting post.
That was excellent as a concise explanation.
I'm actually staggered people understood it, it just goes to show the comprehension levels around here are way above the norm.
Usually this sort of thing results in glazed eyes/roling eyes/slowly backing out of the room kinds of response :)
A "Grinder". I always like to see a fellow Grinder.
Keep going, but always know the location of the nearest exit.
kek
There will come a time when it's time to leave.
In big casinos, it's generally fairly gentlemanly. In smaller venues, it can get weird. As you know, in the UK, sometimes/"most times" the "gambling venues" are small. You do not have the GIANT casinos we have in the USA. The big casinos guarantee everything is on video, so they don't try to put a gun to your head on camera. Maybe in the alley though. ;)
I've also gambled at the casinos on the Continent, and found them to be more "small-and-gangster" than the "big-and-gangster" casinos we have in the USA.
Always know who you are balling. And know when to pull out.
The method I outlined really doesn't pay out huge sums, so it's unlikely to attract much attention. What it is though is consistent over time.
Think of more like a salary than a lottery win :)
P.S. Your method is very similar to the method my Dad taught me as a wee bairn.
Run silent. Run deep.
Yes. In my family we call that Grinding.
Take special care to never show up on their RADAR. As soon as they know you are a Grinder, they will exorcise their demon. Or worse. Don't want to get roughed up and thrown into a dumpster just cuz you can do some mafffff(s). Had to add the s for British sensibilities. ;)
Be well, mate. Go forth and kick some arse. But ... quietly. :)
this is dead on dick i think we're related in some form haha..we tend to keep to ourselves because we overwhelm people with information that they cannot process..and to us its our nature. well done sir you put a very difficult explanation of ones thought into a easy digested (not easily applied) blue print...most will grasp it but to exercise it is another level
I have been reliably informed that people who can think like is are pretty rare indeed.
Considering I do things for the challenge and not power, I am actually grateful it's rare. I can't imagine what I would be like if I actually had ambition.
I hate to say it, bud, but gambling is a disease. I'm glad you quit. Don't go back.
Also, our plan is a tad bit different... Sure, we have multiple fronts we are fighting on, but we can't lose even if we fail on each front. We have the literal trump card, and we will absolutely play it at the perfect moment.
Starfish Prime. Salvatore Pais.
10 days. Darnkess.
Enjoy the show.
They may have a trump card also, and they could have played it years ago or tomorrow.
I had a friend that was addicted to gambling. He would come home with wads of cash to show his wife how well he did. Then she got the credit card bills showing the casino charges which were much higher than the cash he brought home. They divorced.
It was over 10 years ago and it definitely taught me a lesson (or more than one).
The main one I learned that money is no substitute for health :)
I also did it for the challenge, money was just the score card, so once I beat the system I had nothing left to prove.
Thanks for the additional insight, sometimes it's too easy to focus on one element (even if that element covers multiple factors) and ignore the blatently obvious :)
It like a tree with branches that grow and create more branches, and yet more branches from those branches over time and seasonal climate change. Taller and fuller the tree grows.
This is how the computerized plan spans out. For every scenario there could be 5-10+ best approaches or options for that scenario. There could be hundreds of scenarios running in that program at a time with hundreds of options to make the best, most sure solution. Moves and countermoves...
Pattern analysis changes once you accept the zero has mathematical value even though its existential value is zero. There was a university that tried your method for lottery numbers, I believe it also worked to a degree that the class didn't lose money.
I’m sorry but I’m not buying your betting system.
No problem, because I'm not selling it. It also isn't the point of the post.
Since you know that they stop you after 2 weeks, couldn't you just play 1 system for 1 1/2 weeks, then switch to another system for 1 1/2 weeks, and so on, and beat the system?
Unfortunately once it had learned a pattern that it could stop it in its tracks straight away afterwards, even if I rotated through.
I agree, it's not a get rich quick scheme, the payouts are too low and if you get it wrong the losses can wipe out a days profit in one go.
