Brainwashed or what, think for youself at some point.It's ok defending something but FFS not everyone can be wrong.
I would hazzard a guess you stack shelves or something.Well maybe at the peak of your career.
Open your mind,pay attention and look.
try taking a look at your game and fixing leaks(it really does work)
for every hand you post that is a 80% favourite and loses i could post one that holds up.
I dont stack shelves for a living,but i certainly dont look down on those that do!
I infact wash wheelie bins for a living
but as i own the business and get £50 per hour and friday saturday and sundays off it aint all bad...

I have little sympathy for people who wasted their time at school nor for the parents who allowed them to do so.
But i do beleive in odds,I do beleive that if someone wins the lottery they will not win it again in their lifetime because the odds say they will not.
And the problem with players like me is lol, is we beleive in odds and the odds do not stack up.We calculate the odds and base our decisions on likelyhood and data.I am not a nasty person and i am sure you're not but you do seem very certain that everything is cosher and my alarm bell and calculations tell me it is not.
Best of luck davez and sorry if i had a go.Frustration happens to everyone but whilst the game upsets me i wish no i'll feeling towards you.
Good luck, know doubt my luck will change tommorrow.
appologies

and still lose or everything wrong and still win!
you say you believe in odds but what are the odds of winning the lotto?(14m to 1) yet somebody wins it most weeks,so nearly every week a 14m/1 shot comes in!
my belief is the odds on here do stack up its just at the mo they are not holding for you personally...how many hands are played on here every minute?..across the board i believe they even out.
not much help when it screws you/me though.
gl,dave
p.s...i also believe you are "not a nasty man"..:)
BOL on the tables, i may have to take a break (well maybe not from the tables) but from the forums

Poker is a game of luck with a bit of skill thrown in. Just enjoy it for what it is.
Thats in my humble opinion anyway.

Youre descibing speed dating
A friend of mine, Mel, has won the Jackpot twice (2.6 and 3.2 million)- when I had the lottery installed in one of our shops, as a joke, I asked him to come to the shop and ''bless'' the machine and he duly obliged. Four weeks later we had the 8.1 million jackpot win to the 8 Wrexham nurses.
Seriously? Odds plz
I may be exaggerated the luck part a little but Ive not seen "most" disagree. Having said that I am only a mediocre player so what do I know ??
The point I was making was that bad beats happen live and they are not rigged.
IMO you have the skill/luck ratio reversed but each to their own sir
Yes seriously
The odds were 14 million to one - on both occasions.
Doesn't matter how many tickets you buy it's still 14 million to one.
= 13,983,816/1 to win the national lottery once, if you only buy one ticket. Obviously becomes more likely as you buy more tickets.
Depends how many tickets were purchased. If someone buys 50,000,000 tickets, they're bound to win the jackpot a couple of times, but if they only buy 100 tickets, then it's unlikely.
I think the chance of winning twice within a given period of time =
(1/13,983,816)^2 x (13,983,815/13,983,816)^(n-2) x (n(n-1)/2)
Where n is the number of tickets purchased within that time?
Is he your friend because he bought the tickets in your shop?
Friend definately worth keeping
There are online players who have consistently shown a profit for many years. This applies to all formats - mtts, cash, and stts. If it was predominently down to luck almost everyone would be a loser over time.
Winning and losing would be spread equally between players and the rake would take it's toll on everyone.
The only winners would be those lucky enough to win a big tournament. As there are players who regularly win big tournaments, luck must be a minor factor.
if you bought all 14m combinations you must have (personally) an even? chance of winning.
although whichever ticket wins still does so at odds of 14m/1?
what is an anti-syndicate rollover btw?
dave
Buying 14 million tickets won't work - buying all 14 million combinations will obviously, but it has to be a seriously big rollover to be profitable - even then it's not certain because someone else could also have the winning numbers and so it would be a split jackpot.
Syndicates have tried in the past to take advantage of rollovers (mostly in the early days when the pool was much bigger, Camelot have a programme that kicks in on rollovers to look for syndicates covering all the combinations. Every terminal in every shop is linked directly into the Camelot server via the telephone system. Buying up all combinations is against the rules.
interesting about the syndicates though
