Matt Pokerface and Mary Martingale discuss gaming.

[Ralph]

Matt Pokerface:
Do not play a negative expection game.


Mary Martingale:
It is not fair to get positive Ev missusing
not skilled players, in sports we have
weight classes to make it as fair as possible.




Matt Pokerface:
If you ever play, put all on one bet, and
keep the variance down. You expose you less to the
negative EV.




Mary Martingale:
The negative expection is small, but adds up on
every spin, which make it harder to stand in the longer run. Why you care the expections of 2.7%
on one bet, one bet is not the long run. If I stake all on one, I get 48% chance to double, or lose all.


Matt Pokerface:
Every time you bet you lose to the HE, it will cost
you 2.7 dollars to bet 100.


Mary Martingale:
You advice me to put all on one spin, and you say
it will cost me 2.7 dollars. My experience is I
will lose 100 dollars or win the same.


Matt Pokerface:
Keep down the variance, it is the killer.


Mary Martingale:
I do not agree, if you have a positive expection it
is right, you do not want a variance at all, the edge will give the winning. But it is still variance out of your control,you can lose if your
bankroll is not large and you not play long.
The variance can kill in roulette as the He, but
we should bet using highest possible variance bets.
They are low stake, and pay us well if the variance is on our side. Most of the players leaving the table with some  larger winnings has won due to variance at inside bets.

Roulette is not a skill game, right side is luck. Play straight ups, one chip, a small loss or a decent win (parlay you can effort a pound, and be very happy with more than 1000).

You are correct about one thing but wrong about the other. Yes play straight up. But actually roulette is a game of skill if you know what you are looking for. With the current knowledge you have about roulette, i understand why you have this view. When you see roulette for what it really is, you will understand beating roulette is all about skill.

Same goes for poker.

Please don't take offense but i am just speaking the truth.
