I thought with this question about 'intermediate term strategy' I
would divert the thread 'Refreshing Information', but it seems I just
added wood to the fire, LOL. Anyway, thanks for the replies. By the
way, these new kids on the block talking about 'name calling' should
read some of the 'refreshing' posts to see many more names.
Anyway, it seems BD in this week's column has furnished elements
to 'prove' RS's systems, unless I'm reading it all wrong. He says if
you play 1,200 VP hands you have about 95% chance of hitting a quad
or more. Now, let us take one of those progressive systems. The way
they are set up, if you hit a quad most likely you begin again in the
low denomination; on the other hand, by the time you reach the third
or fourth high denomination, you most likely have played over 1,200
hands and thus the chance of hitting a quad is near 100%. Before
signing off, I must stress the dangerous part, and that is those
experiences of people who have reported playing seven hours or even
13 hours with no quads. Gambling is not only a statistical science,
but a Kenny Rogers type of art, "you gotta know when to fold'em."
May you all have a hurricane Charlie of Aces.
