    a trading problem for mathematicians

    Thats my whole point, system 1 makes 1k, system 2 loses 10 bucks, its an overall winner. System 1 makes 10 bucks system 2 loses 1k then overall its a loser. If system 1 makes 10 bucks and system 2 loses 10 bucks its a scratch. So if looking at a combined win % rate, you need to know the p/l...

    a trading problem for mathematicians

    Well then I dont think you understand what you are asking without giving a p/l ratio per strat. Who is to say you make 10 bucks per win but lose 10k per loss. Still a win rate of 60% but a giant sucky strat.

    a trading problem for mathematicians

    For the two strats A and Byou have 4 possible out comes. 1. A win B win 2. A lose B win 3. A win B lose 4. A lose B lose I am going to make one assumption that winners equal losers. So for cases 2 and 3 the net result is 0. So: 1. .36 2. .24 3. .24 4. .16 So your win rate...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    Bitcoins spiked because they appeared on the gwaker network., because they had an article about silk road. Fiat currencies only work because the government forces you to buy and sell with it. Once drug dealers move on to something that is easier, that will be the end. The only way this...

    Blackjack player beats 3 Atlantic City Casinos for $15.1M

    So I am guessing based on what people have said on this thread and the article, this is what went down: 5 casinos at a min were involved, not necessarily all taking a loss. He would run a martingale strat. He plays perfect blackjack and has a .5% deficit. So if he starts with 12k bets he...

    Y'ever hear of a warrant trading 2X the price of the stock

    Well the Zion warrants acted like this during this year. But there was a very good reason why they did. I am guessing you dont understand the actual terms of the warrant you are speaking. Make sure you understand the currency in play (GG warrants), the ability of the underlying to rewrite the...

    Ok that would make a lot more sense for the casino, on a per session basis rather then a per bet basis.

    Blackjack player beats 3 Atlantic City Casinos for $15.1M

    If he gets back 20% of his losses, then yes it does. He bets a dollar, loses a dollar, and gets back 20 cents. When he wins a dollar he keeps it.

    Actually my math is correct. I dont know if that is what was happening, but the math is correct. How do you know if he martingales? Is there a story about his strat?

    Blackjack player beats 3 Atlantic City Casinos for $15.1M

    House edge is 1% with perfect play for standard blackjack. So if 100,000 hands are played at 1 dollar per hand is played 51,000 to the house 49,000 to the player. But since the the house edge gives back 20% of the 51,000 lost the player gets back 10,200. So that means the players edge goes...

    What's Wrong with Canada?

    Huge resources and a small population is a great combo. Canada's cold climate is beneficial. It actually keeps the dregs out. The state of California was once like this, now its just a broke ponzai scheme.
