Any feedback on the site (see the sticky) please post here. I'm also going to get in touch with the proprietor, hopefully he'll create an account at the forum.

The guy who thought of this is REALLY smart!!!

You post your method, GREAT, but the source code sits on the site. He then makes his picks of the coolest systems to play them! BRILLIANT!!!

Well, I suppose that's one way of looking at it, albeit a very cynical one. 

If you don't like the thought of your system being 'stolen', then don't use the site.

Hehe, Bayes, I think I came across in the wrong manner.

I don't mean it like that at all. I had a look at the site, it is actually very cool. I'm just saying that a nice "payoff" for the site owner is that he can pick the ones he likes.

In all honesty, I would make use of it IF there were more variants/options available.
I couldn't code to save my life, and the scary part is I'm a Sys Admin!!!!

Ok, no worries.  

More options is probably going to be a frequent request (I for one would like to have the ability to bet after a win rather than a loss), so the owner may add some more in time. But I like the way you can move from one system to the next.

And let's be honest, there are millions of possible systems but they're all variations on a few basic themes.

Hello, I am the owner of the site.   I'm glad you are enjoying it.

I have been working on a new option for the last few weeks.   I hope to have it finished and available tomorrow, if all goes well.  Certainly within the next few days.

I'll update you when it's up!

Welcome to our forum! 

When Bayes and I discussed your site before posting details I visited it, of course.

I was VERY impressed. You've worked so hard to come up with a very user-friendly site that will be extremely useful.

Well done!!

Welcome - and please do keep us posted on changes etc. happening there!!!

Welcome to the forum eccl1019!

Good to hear you're adding a new option. Actually, what you have isn't as limiting as it might first appear, because of the ability to add new strategies; if you break down a single strategy into 'composite' strategies you can often get want you want by 'stacking' them, as it were.

The problem is that if you have too many options you then have to think carefully about the logic, in which case you might as well learn a programming language and have total flexibility, and the point of your scheme is to make it easier to create systems without having to go through that learning curve.

[eccl1019]

Bayes, yes, you are correct.      I did my best to come up with a system that would be user friendly, yet still cover a lot of possible strategies.      I think it's impossible to create something really simple, that could cover any conceivable strategy out there, but I hope what I've done will bring lots of enjoyment for many.   

Plus, you can create a free account and save the strategies you're working on, so you only have to rack your brain once, then you can come back later and tweak it, without having to re-enter everything from scratch. 

I am constantly working on it, and expanding its' possibilities.   I will post again soon with some changes.

@ eccl1019

Perhaps even something to consider is once your strategy has been created, to even make it playable, like a bot

Already done.   For $5/month, Premium Members have the option to follow their strategies on a live board.

A new strategy option is up!  Check it out here:
link:://:.testmystrategy.com/roulette/european.php    

Now you can test strategies according to the law of probability!!!

Some of you have requested particular options, which I am in the process of adding.    More updates to come next week.    

Enjoy!

Nice work eccl1019, thanks for the update. 

Minor nit-pick: the odds never actually change, but I know what you mean.

Bayes, I understand what you're saying, but the odds of winning do change, along with the payout.   With higher odds of winning, comes lower payout, and vice versa.

It's the house edge, and the odds of ending in profit, that never changes,. . .  unless of-course, you find the holy grail.   :o

All this is laid out clearly on my site here: hxxp: :. testmystrategy. com/rules/european. php

I am open to correction if I am saying it wrong though.   This seems to be a never-ending learning process for me so far.   I am enjoying the communication with everyone here.   :)
