    I'm not seeing much of anything in my area. Then again, I barely leave the house.

    I was very surprised by all of this anti-Jewish hatred in America. I truly
    do not understand it. I've read the reports about what those Hamas
    Muslims did to the 1,400 Israeli civilian men, women and children
    they butchered, tortured and slaughtered.

    Any one who could do that is purely evil. They are not even human.
    This planet would be much better off without them and if Hell
    does actually exist, it is where those Hamas Muslims belong.

    For once, I agree with you. However, the kids being bombed daily did nothing.

    No, because that's not what they're doing. What's to be gained by Israel spending $800,000 a missile to bomb
    kids when there are Command & Control Centers still launching missiles, and those missile cites to be bombed??

    Yea, my point being, if someone suspects one report to be fabricated, they discount each and every thing reported
    about Hamas. If they're looking for a reason to side with Hamas, they really don't have to do that.

    Just like most of your "ideas" ... you select an idea that suits your
    own opinion.

    It is oft repeated that Churchill “ordered” the firebombing of Dresden
    as a “vicious payback” for the German bombing of Coventry (which
    Churchill is often accused of allowing to burn rather than reveal his
    access to the German codes -see FH 35). Who’s right about Dresden?
    Before we get into that, let us remember that there was a war on, and
    who the enemy was. Had he the means, Hitler would cheerfully have
    flattened London and everyone in it.

    Your "idea" is just more crap from whoever you really want to be.

    Just like most of your "ideas" ... you select an idea that suits your
    own opinion.

    It is oft repeated that Churchill “ordered” the firebombing of Dresden as a “vicious payback” for the German bombing of Coventry (which Churchill is often accused of allowing to burn rather than reveal his
    access to the German codes -see FH 35). Who’s right about Dresden?
    Before we get into that, let us remember that there was a war on, and
    who the enemy was. Had he the means, Hitler would cheerfully have
    flattened London and everyone in it.

    Your "idea" is just more crap from whoever you really want to be.

    Actually, most accounts show that the original bombings of London and other civilian targets in the UK were accidents.

    A more credible story is that early in the air war, British bombers strayed during a raid, and hit the wrong target, non-military. The germans were enraged, and vowed retaliation. Whether Hitler personally ordered
    this, is unclear.

    The German high command knew it was pointless to target London, a
    waste of time. But they had to follow orders. So it's possible Britain was saved by a befuddled RAF navigator.

    The Lord works in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform...
    (reminiscent of the miracle at Midway, where the planes flew in circles
    before arriving at the target, with ideal timing)

    How many Londoners died during blitz?

    The Blitz | World War II, History, & Facts | Britannica
    In the eight months of attacks, some 43,000 civilians were killed. This amounted to nearly half of Britain's total civilian deaths for the whole
    war. One of every six Londoners was made homeless at some point during
    the Blitz, and at least 1.1 million houses and flats were damaged or
    destroyed.

    How many Londoners died during blitz?

    The Blitz | World War II, History, & Facts | Britannica
    In the eight months of attacks, some 43,000 civilians were killed. This amounted to nearly half of Britain's total civilian deaths for the whole war. One of every six Londoners was made homeless at some point during
    the Blitz, and at least 1.1 million houses and flats were damaged or destroyed.

    Geez, Hitler was obviously a real slacker when it came to blitzes. Israel killed over 10,000 civilians in a month and - get this - 4000 were children! Nonetheless, sounds like this Hitler guy was still a top notch war criminal. I bet he still has a
    cult following on the right.

    No, I don’t hate Jewish people in the slightest. That kind of thinking isn’t even in my galaxy. It is illogical. I do however hate what the Israeli *government* has done, is doing and intends to do to Palestinian civilians, but you are apparently too
    dumb to differentiate the two. Judging by the comments I read on the internet, a shocking high percentage of other right-wingers are too. If there are things Joe Biden’s administration is doing that you hate, that doesn’t mean you hate Americans. You

    Geez, Hitler was obviously a real slacker when it came to blitzes. Israel killed over 10,000 civilians in a month and - get this - 4000 were children! Nonetheless, sounds like this Hitler guy was still a top notch war criminal. I bet he still has
    a cult following on the right.
    You are just another Jew-hater ... the allies killed lots more civilians
    during WWII ... war is hell. You are just another asshole with a computer.

    No, I don’t hate Jewish people in the slightest. That kind of thinking isn’t even in my galaxy. It is illogical. I do however hate what the Israeli *government* has done, is doing and intends to do to Palestinian civilians, but you are
    apparently too dumb to differentiate the two. Judging by the comments I read on the internet, a shocking high percentage of other right-wingers are too. If there are things Joe Biden’s administration is doing that you hate, that doesn’t mean you hate
    Americans. You have the logic skills of a young child.
    You can take the logical step and just kill yourself.

    [If you have a final solution for Israel, you might share it.]

    In other words you have nothing. At least you are consistent.
    So that is your suggestion for what Israel should do ... typical blab
    blab blab and run run run ... at least you are consistent.

    You want me to make Israel’s war plan for them and publish it here? That seems unreasonable. I think it would be better if Israel’s military experts do that. But I gave them the all important first step and overarching principle. Whatever plan they
    come up with, all of it must comply with humanitarian law. This is not controversial. You must have noticed that over the last week Israel has be been given some not so subtle warnings from some of its closest allies, including Canada, France and the US.
    What are you arguing for? Genocide? That figures.

    **********

    Israel has said it will continue its war on Hamas after an ongoing temporary truce expires, but senior US administration officials told reporters the coming offensive must be "maximally deconflicted" and avoid hitting UN shelters, hospitals, power and
    water sites.

    "You cannot have the sort of scale of displacement that took place in the north, replicated in the south," one US official told journalists late Monday, speaking on condition that the briefing be reported only Tuesday.

    "It's very important that the conduct of the Israeli campaign when it moves to the south must be done in a way that is, to a maximum extent, not designed to produce significant further displacement of persons."

    The official added: "From the president down we have reinforced this in a very clear way for the government of Israel."

    Israel had been "receptive" to the warnings, the official said.

    An estimated 1.7 million people in Gaza have been displaced by the offensive Israel launched in response to the October 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas, according to the United Nations.

    It is oft repeated that Churchill “ordered” the firebombing of Dresden

    Before we get into that, let us remember that there was a war on, and
    who the enemy was. Had he the means, Hitler would cheerfully have
    flattened London and everyone in it.

    Your "idea" is just more crap from whoever you really want to be.

    Actually, most accounts show that the original bombings of London and other civilian targets in the UK were accidents.
    More unmitigated bullshit

    How many Londoners died during blitz?

    The Blitz | World War II, History, & Facts | Britannica
    In the eight months of attacks, some 43,000 civilians were killed. This
    amounted to nearly half of Britain's total civilian deaths for the whole
    war. One of every six Londoners was made homeless at some point during
    the Blitz, and at least 1.1 million houses and flats were damaged or
    destroyed.

    Geez, Hitler was obviously a real slacker when it came to blitzes. Israel killed over 10,000 civilians in a month and - get this - 4000 were children! Nonetheless, sounds like this Hitler guy was still a top notch war criminal. I bet he still

    .

    Yea, it is. It's bullshit. You can't have one side 'play fair' and the other not.

    It's nice to say, "We play by the War Rules," when in fact, nobody does. Hell, at the very moment President Eisenhower was making his, "We don't read other peoples' mail," it was exactly what I was doing in Military Intelligence in the Philippines. We
    heard him on the speaker in the radio room and we all laughed.

    Same as Bush#2 & Obama's, "We don't torture." And, "Waterboarding is not torture." And President Obama putting out a Kill Order (rather than a Capture) on SBL. Even Winston Churchill said, "If it came down to it, if Hitler landed troops, we'd use poison
    gas."

    I know you lawyers like to dot the tees and cross the i's, but as a police officer, we worked under, "Is it the letter of the law or the intent of the law?"

    So, no. Israel will do what it has to do. History is written by the winners.

    Which is just more CYA for the press. It's why Hamas puts their Command & Control Centers under those sites. It why the Vietcong placed their artillery next to homes and churches and rice dams.
    .

    .

    "You cannot have the sort of scale of displacement that took place in the north, replicated in the south," one US official told journalists late Monday, speaking on condition that the briefing be reported only Tuesday.

    Well, that's nice. UN Meeting adjourned. Off to the bar for a round out drinks (on the taxpayers).

    You live happily in your head, definitively making facts out of your opinions, even when are were completely and demonstrably wrong.

    What exactly do you/did you do for a living?

    Tim, if you are a real boy, you need help. You just cannot admit to
    being wrong about anything no matter how small. You must be correct in
    your own head, if you actually have a head, and you are quite aligned
    with several "streams of thought' with which you allow no slight
    disagreement with the "truth" as you have acquired.

    Or maybe you are just another sock puppet ... that is possible ... maybe
    more likely.

    No wonder you don't understand everything I have written to you. Your questions keep slightly changing because reality doesn't give you the results that you want.

    To answer your question, you need to be precise.

    1. What is your initial bankroll?
    2. How much are you betting on each single trial of the game?

    1. I have a million $100 chips. You only need one.
    2. We bet one chip on each single trial.

    How many plays before my million gets lost before I get ahead a million
    plus one? [Try for a thousand, if you like.] [Or a hundred.] [Or ten.]

    How many plays before my million gets lost before I get ahead a million
    plus one? [Try for a thousand, if you like.] [Or a hundred.] [Or ten.]
    Care to actually answer the question?

    As written above, you want a bankroll of 1 million chips, and want to get to 2,000,001

    No wonder you can't understand the very precise answers that I have given you.

    I will go with what you have stumbled through a bunch of times: Start with $100, bet $1 per time, and stop when you have $101

    The probability of succeeding is 100/101. If you do so, it should take, based on a couple of approximations that I made, about 500 individual trials, on average.

    I am sorry. I am mixing apples and oranges. My approximation is 5 trials to win a net $1, 500 to win a net $100, if you put the winnings to the side every time.

    I am glad you realized "you were wrong" about the entire 5000 times you
    have been saying I did not have the advantage in the Say Red game if I
    only wanted to win one bet.

    I am glad you admitted [finally] that I do have the advantage and that
    is why you will not play with $100 dollar chips.

    Thank you for your admission of error. I know it was hard for you.

    Everyone else (all three of them) are glad you admitted your MISTAKE.

    Then you are a complete idiot who has not read any of the posts.

    On several occasions, you stated that you could 'win every time' with a bankroll of $100. That is a false statement.

    You will not give up will you. I said I had an advantage in the Say Red
    game. You said I did not. When you found out my "advantage" was to
    quit when I won one bet, you ran like a scared cat.

    So I offered a side bet of $100 that if I played with you for $1 bets
    with a 100 bet limit on my side, but I only wanted to get ahead one
    dollar, you said only a fool would take that bet.

    So I offered to play the game for $100 chips because I only wanted to
    win one chip ... you finally admitted I would likely only need about
    five plays to win your $100 chip (if I did not win on the first try).

    Running ever since ... it is the size of the bet that makes leaving with
    one bet "an advantage" ... only I can leave with the $100 ... just go
    back in your hole.

    [Would you really like to play again for another $100 chip to see if you
    could get that hundred back, if you could not leave when you did win it
    back? I might decide to try again, would you? It might take me another
    five tries or so, eh?]

    You are an idiot. I have repeatedly described what your advantage is, as a probability of 100/101 with a $100 bankroll.

    Wrong again ... you only have "one" chip. 1/100 ... I might win the
    first time. If I lose the first time it is 2/99 for the second try, but
    I am gone.

    Play your way enough, and you will lose your bankroll. The net expectation for your version of the game is 0.

    Wrong again ... the net expectation is 50/50 on each trial.

    HAVING A LARGE ADVANTAGE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN WIN EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    That is correct ... 50/50 to win every single time. But I only need to
    win one. [Not even 2 ... but I could try that some time. It comes up
    way too often.]

    You appear incapable of understanding this fact.

    You can't handle the "fact".

    The "advantage" I have with "my version" of the game is that I only have
    to win ONE TIME. I will win one time when I play with you for $100
    chips ... I will win $100. That is why I will win every "single" time I
    play. That is why you will NOT PLAY when I only need to win one chip.
    It does indeed mean I have an advantage.

    BTW ... if I leave with a single $100 chip ... are the odds of the next
    guy in line? 50/50? 49/51 or 50/50 every single time ... what has
    bankroll got to do with the odds of each coin toss? I thought if you
    play long enough everyone goes back and forth until they even up again
    and again and again ... ... and again.

    Don't redefine the game again, Tim just answer the simple question.

    I will win your single $100 chip and walk away ... every single time we
    play ... that is why you will not play ... you "can't" walk away one
    chip ahead ... I can.

    You have no idea what you are talking about. 'Expectation' is a single value which depends on the probability distribution involved.

    I will write this one more time:

    With a bankroll of $B, playing one chip at a time, you quit when you win $1, or lose $B

    You win your $1 with a probability of B/(B+1), and lose $B with a probability of 1/(B+1), so you are much more likely to win than lose.

    However, the expectation is (+1)*100/101+(-B)*1/101 = $0

    No amount of bluster will change that.

    This is indeed one case of the Gambler's Ruin problem, as you can see in the section on Huygen's result ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_ruin )
    just choose one amount to be $B, and the other $1, since all you want to do is win $1

    No amount of changing the bet helps you at all.

    QUESTION: Given enough time, what are the chances I can come out ahead
    in a coin toss contest?

    ANSWER #1: 100%, for the same reason as the 1-D walk

    In fact (again for the same reason), your chances are 100% of eventually reaching X-greater heads than tails (or tails than heads), where X is
    any non-negative integer.

    ANSWER #2: The question can be answered using Catalan numbers. Let C_n
    denote the number of sequences of 2n coin tosses in which you are never
    ahead. Formally, we count sequences in which every prefix has no less
    T's than H's. We call this property A.

    The number of total sequences of length 2n is 22n
    . We then show that as n→∞, the ratio Cn/22n
    tends to 0. This means that in almost every sequence you will
    eventually be ahead (the chances of a random sequence having property A
    tend to 0 as the sequence gets longer).

    Indeed,

    Cn=(2n)!(n+1)!n!
    so

    Cn/22n=(2n)!22n⋅1(n+1)!n!
    and it can be shown that this tends to 0 by Stirling's approximation
    (multiply and divide by (2n/e)2n
    ).



    Want to deny the "advantage" any more?

    [He who can STOP will win.]

    Will you play me for your $100 chip? Yes or No?

    I copied it from a Mathematics site.

    There is no contradiction with what I told you, since the analysis you have implicitly assumes an infinite bankroll.

    No, it does not ... what it says is that each player gets ahead one bet
    over and over again. It is the player that "quits" after one bet that
    "wins".

    Will you play me for your $100 chip? You could win a hundred hundreds?
    You could likely win 2 or 3 or even 4 hundreds ... if you could quit ...
    but you cannot ... only I can quit while I am ahead one (or two?). It
    will happen every time we play. I'll let the next guy in line try to

    eventually be ahead (the chances of a random sequence having property A
    tend to 0 as the sequence gets longer).

    Indeed,

    Cn=(2n)!(n+1)!n!
    so

    Cn/22n=(2n)!22n⋅1(n+1)!n!
    and it can be shown that this tends to 0 by Stirling's approximation
    (multiply and divide by (2n/e)2n
    ).



    Want to deny the "advantage" any more?

    [He who can STOP will win.]

    Will you play me for your $100 chip? Yes or No?

    No answer.

    Nice try. Did you write this yourself, or copy it from somewhere?

    I copied it from a Mathematics site.

    There is no contradiction with what I told you, since the analysis you
    have implicitly assumes an infinite bankroll.

    No, it does not ... what it says is that each player gets ahead one bet
    over and over again.  It is the player that "quits" after one bet that "wins".

    Will you play me for your $100 chip?  You could win a hundred hundreds?
    You could likely win 2 or 3 or even 4 hundreds ... if you could quit ...
    but you cannot ... only I can quit while I am ahead one (or two?).  It
    will happen every time we play.  I'll let the next guy in line try to
    win more than one or two.  You are the house ... keep playing.  Maybe someday you will win hundreds ... but I doubt it.

    Answer a simple question ... or run away.

    Still no answer. Still running.

    I think I am done with this. When you post stuff that you don't comprehend and declare victory, that is a symptom of complete divorce from reality.

    If the "bet" is $100 you will not play. Why?

    You have issues.

    So, Tim uses Blab this time to cut the meat and dodge away!

    Tim finally realized this is not a Martingale situation ... it is simply
    a roulette wheel red and black WITHOUT a 0 and/or double 0.

    There is a reason why those 0's are there. Someone "could" walk away a
    winner betting $100 on red until he/she/it was ahead $100.

    Maybe Tim's Jerry version will arrive. This is a dead group because of
    you three.

    Even a REAL gambling idea gets dodged.

    LOL. You're the idiot gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving and giving...

    Just to be clear, I take no immediate pleasure from someone else being wrong. I want to teach people to be correct.

    And yet, you do not think I will WIN the Say Red game if I continue to
    choose the last card every time we play for $100 chips (unless, of
    course I win on the first try). You only need one $100 chip ... you
    will have two if I lose on the first try. You might get ahead three or
    four ... if only you could "quit while you were ahead". Run again ...
    or just say you will take me on for $100 chips.

    I did indeed. Go look up Huygens and the Gambler's Ruin problem

    That bet was to finally shake you back to reality. That is not the bet
    you are still dodging. Just stick to the first proposition.

    Say Red for $1 ... I will stop when I net your starting $1 chip ... I
    have a secret bankroll ... I have an advantage to get ahead a net $1
    chip ... I will quit when I get that net $1 (every time) which is the

    ... maybe ... you could win a lot of money if you get my bankroll ...
    why not take the chance that you will stay ahead after the first play
    for a long, long, long, long time and win LOTS of money.

    [We all know you will not even start when it is a $100 chip I am after.]

    He who can leave ahead wins 50/50 games almost every single time, if
    their bankroll is "enough" to play for a "while". What are the odds?

    I have carefully explained this several times. If you bet $1 per trial with a bankroll of $B, you will manage to get to $(B+1) exactly B/(B+1) of the time, and lose your whole bankroll 1/(B+1) of the time. You have the advantage doing your game once,
    but long term, it is expectation 0.

    and never play you again. Thanks, Tim.

    Like I said in my other reply just now, you have become Jerry, and you cannot read. You claimed to have an advantage in the say red game. You do not, and have been told that over and over. You have wrapped a risk of ruin
    proposition around that game by giving one player 100 bets, and the other 1 bet. The player with 100 bets has what a silly person would call an advantage in that it is 100:1 that he will win that one chip before his opponent wins
    his 100 chips, but it remains a ZERO EV game. But that “advantage" has nothing to do with the say red game. I am pretty sure that you are one of the two people who insisted that they could get an advantage in say red by
    tracking the red/black cards to look for a surplus of red cards, just like
    card counting. That is a very common error and no big deal, but I believe
    that you finally realized that you were mistaken, and couldn’t live with
    it, and just kept trying to weasel out of the claim by changing and changing and changing the story about how you could get an advantage. You failed.

    I did indeed. Go look up Huygens and the Gambler's Ruin problem
    That bet was to finally shake you back to reality. That is not the bet
    you are still dodging. Just stick to the first proposition.

    Say Red for $1 ... I will stop when I net your starting $1 chip ... I have a secret bankroll ... I have an advantage to get ahead a net $1 chip ... I will quit when I get that net $1 (every time) which is the first time it happens ... I will let another try "next" time, if you will let them. It could be only one play ... it will not take me long ... maybe ... you could win a lot of money if you get my bankroll ... why not take the chance that you will stay ahead after the first play for a long, long, long, long time and win LOTS of money.

    [We all know you will not even start when it is a $100 chip I am after.]

    He who can leave ahead wins 50/50 games almost every single time, if their bankroll is "enough" to play for a "while". What are the odds?

    I have carefully explained this several times. If you bet $1 per trial with
    a bankroll of $B, you will manage to get to $(B+1) exactly B/(B+1) of the
    time, and lose your whole bankroll 1/(B+1) of the time. You have the advantage doing your game once, but long term, it is expectation 0.

    Quote: "You have the advantage doing your game once"

    Finally, you admit that I have an "advantage" if I quit while I am ahead and never play you again. Thanks, Tim.
    Like I said in my other reply just now, you have become Jerry, and you cannot
    read. You claimed to have an advantage in the say red game. You do not, and have been told that over and over. You have wrapped a risk of ruin proposition around that game by giving one player 100 bets, and the other 1 bet. The player with 100 bets has what a silly person would call an advantage
    in that it is 100:1 that he will win that one chip before his opponent wins his 100 chips, but it remains a ZERO EV game. But that “advantage" has nothing to do with the say red game. I am pretty sure that you are one of the
    two people who insisted that they could get an advantage in say red by tracking the red/black cards to look for a surplus of red cards, just like card counting. That is a very common error and no big deal, but I believe that you finally realized that you were mistaken, and couldn’t live with it, and just kept trying to weasel out of the claim by changing and changing
    and changing the story about how you could get an advantage. You failed.

    I have been at this with him for months.

    Assuming that he is not a troll, it appears that

    1. He equates 'having an advantage in a single trial' as 'winning every single time'

    It doesn’t only appear that way, but he came right out and said it one
    post. His claim was that if he was going to play only once in his entire lifetime, then that *is* every single time, and taken literally, he’s
    right, to a point. The two problems are that the statement is intentionally misleading, and the other problem is that no matter how likely it becomes
    that he will get ahead, there is absolutely nothing that can make the mathematical probability of him getting ahead that one chip 100%. I don’t think he’s trolling, but he’s definitely being a dick.

    2. He honestly thinks that he can always win, even with negative expectation games.

    Yep.

    No, Jerry, I understand. What I will never understand is why you are so obsessed with trying to get Tim to admit that you are right, and he is wrong, and why you are claiming that he actually did that. You have become totally dishonest in this thread, and I never expected that from you.

    "You have the advantage doing your game once"

    When you play a 50/50 game, the one bet ahead goes back and forth from
    one side to the other ... if you only play to win one bet, you get it on
    the first try or maybe the one after the even money return.

    He says that whoever quits ahead one bet in a repeated 50/50 game has an advantage.

    2. I do not believe I will win always in negative expectation games.

    Do you play roulette in casinos?

    What if you never get ahead?

    Would you like to try? It would only cost you $100 and you could win
    thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars!

    I lose my entire fortune. You win a lot of money.

    Would you like to try? It would only cost you $100 and you could win
    thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars!

    So, you can't answer a simple question?

    What is the unanswered question?

    Would you play if you only you could quit?
