Let's discover epiphany together:

"Ramsey theory, named after the British mathematician and philosopher Frank P. Ramsey, is a branch of mathematics that studies the conditions under which order must appear. Problems in Ramsey theory typically ask a question of the form: "how many elements of some structure must there be to guarantee that a particular property will hold?" More specifically, Ron Graham describes Ramsey theory as a "branch of combinatorics"."

"Van der Waerden's theorem is a theorem in the branch of mathematics called Ramsey theory. Van der Waerden's theorem states that for any given positive integers r and k, there is some number N such that if the integers {1, 2, ..., N} are colored, each with one of r different colors, then there are at least k integers in arithmetic progression all of the same color. The least such N is the Van der Waerden number W(r, k). It is named after the Dutch mathematician B. L. van der Waerden."

"In Ramsey theory, Schur's theorem states that for any partition of the positive integers into a finite number of parts, one of the parts contains three integers x, y, z..."

Let me save you a billion brain cells. You will find that for every predictor that you submit to, with your mathematical bet selection process, no matter how good it is in figures, you will discover in long run testing that three primary results will permeate your data that you assemble. It will flow thru states of being very favorable to the player, moderate to flat for the player, and last but not least, it will flow thru states of very bad for the player. So "WHEN" must come to mind as a factor in any final permutation of an original idea in your final math theory. I hope that you find that to bet true as well.

Thanks Giz.

You know where but you don't know when sounds really familiar

Changed my mind after further advice.  Thanks, Badger.

OK, I think I've finally found the secret to Non-Random cycles! And it's taken 4 years EXACTLY to this day...

We can create dependency between cycles - no not by carrying over the defining element per se - but by playing for the 2nd+ repeat!

Cycles aren't usually considered when tracking multiple repeats (ala TurboGenius) because it's usually done like this:

First to 1: 121; First to 2: 21; First to 3: 1

Cycles is a bit different:
1231
11
122
2321

1 defined the cycle 3 times compared to 2 (once) and 3 (zero); however, the actual running count is more equal compared to tracking multiple repeats proper:
4 4 2

It seems that cycles can track multiple repeats without the law of large numbers getting in the way - and deadlocks are almost non-existent for some reason!? 

Happy anniversary!!!

Oops - I made a little blunder with the last cycle (2321) - but you get the idea anyway...

So go make your millions(!!) because you only have 4 years before our monetary society comes to an end on the 27th June 2023 - to gradually be replaced by 5 factions ala Brave New World (for example: see the 2014 movie Divergent).

You've all seen that movie Crawl, right? Was released August 23rd last month:

falkor, please give another example, but using quads. Thanks

Prediction will not work

See attached for example...

This is quite interesting if we wish to modify our "process" - but not our predictability:

• Both began with CL3
• First game won on the 2nd repeat after only 1 deadlock
• Second game won on the 3rd repeat after 2 deadlocks
• First game was twice as expensive compared to the second game even though the finite series was much shorter
