So you're saying there's a chance.....
But really it's the same reason why people gamble in general. It's not about the odds it's about the chance of winning big
The chance is winning big is smaller than the chance of losing big. It's an unfair deal.
No risks = no rewards though.Quote:

I'm sure someones gonna pull the PID card over here but truth is that PID matters little in boxing, weps on is a different story.
Let's calculate using a googol!
Simba Code:procedure inc_str(var num : string);
var
i9, s : string;
I : Integer;
begin
s := num;
while s[Length(s)] = '9' do
begin
i9 := i9 + '9';
Delete(s, Length(s), 1);
if Length(s) = 0 then
begin
s := '0';
Break;
end;
end;
I := StrToInt(s[length(s)]) + 1;
Delete(s, Length(s), 1);
s := s + IntToStr(i);
while Length(i9) > 0 do
begin
Delete(i9, Length(i9), 1);
s := s + '0';
end;
num := s;
end;
procedure div_str(var num1, num2 : string);
begin
// Don't bother.. -.-
end;
var
number, wins, losses : string = '0';
begin
repeat
inc_str(number);
if random(2)=1 then inc_str(wins)
else inc_str(losses);
until(number = '10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000');
WriteLn([number, wins, losses]);
end.
E: Calculates ~200k flips a second. Limit is when the length of the string reaches 2147483647 (a 9, followed by 2147483646 9's).
E2: Will have done calculated to a googol in about 9.51 * 10^88 years :>
E3: Let it run for some minutes, I'm now at a 50.01% win rate with 118667252 flips! Maybe Simba's Random() procedure isn't fully random...
Wow. My coin.simba being way slower that that, I'd say my grandkids would be dead by the time it finished.Quote:

Ignore the green line. The yellow, red and blue line all have a mean (i.e. expected outcome) of 0. But they differ in their variance. As variance decreases, the graph becomes 'slimmer', and when variance approaches 0, the graph approaches a straight vertical line, that is, approaches a 100% certainly of the mean.
Honestly does not matter what you say about it, if people believe they have a chance to "make it" they will go all in; eyes closed.
You profit by walking when you're up. Expecting to be up at some point is reasonable, thus people do it.
Gambling in general never leads to any good, but if you are an adult in a legal setting and you want to, go ahead. I won't stop anyone. But I believe gambling in RS is plain silly because the odds are against you and older hosts are simply taking advantage of younger players thereby ruining their RS experience.
Time for me to start a gambling clan and take advantage of the young. Lol.Quote:

:bart: You shouldn't guarantee that it won't be 50% since it still could happen however unlikely it is.Quote:
