*** Official Powerball/Mega Millions thread, now $170/20million***

Discussion in 'The Mainboard' started by Hogview, Oct 27, 2011.

  1. Shu

    Shu there is no custom title

    I tell ya what...I have been thinking about starting a sports themed webcast, kinda a random national sports show (news, analysis, plus fantasy advice) mixed a little with current events of the day and some crazy "Shu" randomness. If I ever get started, I will fill you in with the details and you could watch. I guarantee it wouldn't be boring. Just as random and long winded as I am on here, I am in real life.

    And BOOM goes the dynamite!

    I was meant for the camera and the big stage. I just never got into acting or production.

    I have a friend who gambles and has told me the same thing as Shu. I want to beat stupid people with a baseball bat sometimes.

    But I like Shu, hes a good guy

    What are the probabilities of me flipping my girlfriend in the air and her landing on her head? Do the odds increase or decrease depending on how many times I've done it before?

    Thanks for the lunch time laughs on page 7.

    Black and Red are 18/37 on a European table and 9/19 on an American table. It's not really 50/50 as suggested, because you have the 0 and (on American tables) 00 to contend with. Thus, Shu's theory is even dumber.

    this was my favorite post. he's all like, "duh of course i know the probability of each spin is independent. all I'm saying is that here's a situation where the probability of a spin is dependent."

    Things I've learned from this thread:

    1. Shu is a genius
    2. Shu is a troll
    3. Shu is retarded
    4. Shu needs to stop wasting his money on games of chance, his system is flaud.
    5. Everyone itt needs to learn what a poker table is and use that to their advantage. It's easy money without chance.
