Default Re: Playing forever without a downswing? Is it possible?

The sad truth about taking a 55% edge only tells you that if you take this edge over and over many times (long run) that you will truly see that 55%. You could lose that same 55% edge descision 20 times in a row (oh the pain!) and it will still be mathmatically correct to take it. Or conversly win it 20 times in row - I feel alot of players who claim to be winners fall into this last catagory - they just have experienced the "long run", yet......

The donks are getting better. Look thru your records. The aggregate table VP$IP is lower now than two years ago.
