Yeah, coz of variance it could show anywhere from a massive profit to a massive loss.
With 500,000 rolls the maximum loss I simulated was about 36%, and I won more times usually. In real life gambling I never even experienced a 10% loss ever since I use this strategy.
I depends on luck too, I dont deny that.
LOL, you did. xD
No I was explaining that the official explanation of the fallacy is short sided, its more to it just than the independent outcomes. Because the cluster is randomized too, so weather the odds are set to any amount, the distribution tends to follow the variance.
Or in other words , except a few black swans, the distribution is also contained to a local variance and it can be exploited to control risk better.
Example: if you flip a coin 100 times, the odds of being tails 10 times is 0.09765625% and yet the 11th roll is less likely to be tails, but not impossible.So eventually the heads have to come, so we can say that the local probability can vary wehereas the overally probability remains constant. Now this is no way a guarantee, because somehow the 12 consecutive tails have to come too, but then the local probabilities just reshuffle, randomly.
This is a common mathematical phenomena. I think its called local probability distribution:

Hey its random anyway, but you have to understand that based on odds, somebody can come out a net winner even after 100,000 rolls. It all depends on the local distribution , how it gets shuffled.
And those who are losers, at least lose less than they normally would with other strategies.
