If it makes you guys feel any better I just came away from Blackjack about 20k up...

Then I had 40 spins on 19 (Didn't find this thread until I finished) at 1k a pop and cleared myself out.

Hijack: Selling 400 gold tints, message me in game, need more gambling money!

I'm quite surprised that we aren't allowed to bet on more than one thing each roulette spin, a la real roulette.

if you wana find he jist of it you can always attempt to ask jarik in achaea, he figured the hole thing out long time, i got a bit of it, but if sertin cards are played it not luck actualy its all planned, example if a 6 of hearts and a 7 of spades is down, dont go by the number it adds up to, go by the suit and numbers individualy, i know the secret in achaea but its a bit different in lusternia you win every time even on a 7 with the right number, the npc's will BUST even when you stand on a 7 if you got the caculations right....



jarik in achaea's alts transed all there skills and all 100 lessons proficices in each weapon each wins 100 lessons each blackjack bet

its rigged people dont think its all luck, attempt to find the fomula!
p.s. (in real life its not a formula its 3/4th luck, 1/4th skill, but in these what they lay if you find the formula you will always win 100%)

:Pgood luck:P:P

Necroed?

I doubt that there is a formula for calculating what the dealer's going to get. Pseudo-random doesn't mean predictable. Plus, the last system of Jarik's I saw for gambling did base things off of the sum of the numbers, and ignored the suits. One can get lucky a lot, but it doesn't mean there's a pattern.

And please use more capitals and fewer 's

It's generated by a computer. It's not completely random.

Here are some random numbers for you between the numbers 0 and 9.

Based on that nice random sequence generated by my fingers only, guess what the next number is. (Next number is a few lines down) Just because its not really random, doesn't mean you can figure out the pattern.

While it isfairly difficult to guess what the next number will be generated this way, it's not totally impossible. And you can guess the range in which the next number will be with a very good measure of confidence. Just from looking at your sequence I can immediately see that 1 and 0 are missing, so I am guessing that you typed the numbers off the top row of numeric keys (not the keypad). 1 and 0 are too close to ` and - so you've subconsciously avoided typing them to save yourself the headache. Thus your sequence is based on simple psychology and the next range is a function of stuff that goes on in your head. Since it's a function, you can take the blackbox approach and just correlate the inputs with outputs to draw meaningful conclusions. Same way with computer generated sequences - they are functions, and fairly well known ones, which is why they are cracked left and right.

The IRE trick to gambling, two of them (roulette only). If you have a million gold (hint: organizations, gamble your gold), and two people, each with 500k, you can get to 2 million in each person's inventory in about two hours.

The first trick is one person, betting 2 gold until you see a sequence of colors (like, three reds in a row, or three blacks in a row), then betting the opposite with a large sum of gold. This is far risk, especially if you have a Celani/God willing to go to the extent of bankrupting you after you've won a million gold (Like, getting 9 Blacks in a row and running out of gold).

The second requires two people, with very large sums of gold. One bets on red, the other on black, let's say a 1000 gold every bet. If one person nloses, they double it, while the other person just bets 1000 gold. And you keep doubling as you lose.

Ryannic isn't lying, but he's a monkey for saying it out loud so the administration might notice and look into changing it.

My profits are proof. I've turned 200 gold into 50k, made 10 lessons into 600, so forth. Probably could've done alot worse, but upon realizing that blackjack was pretty much manipulatable, I felt guilty and stopped. Roulette I don't know about.

I've gotten it to where I can plot my losses so that the margin of better cards on the dealer's hand lowers. Ever notice if you win twice or so in a row, the dealer gets an ace and you're asked insurance on your bet? Now, I could be wrong and just jumping to conclusions...but I have won a crapload on these assumptions. Find the pattern and you can plot your losses, bet big on your wins, bet small on the losses. I've gotten it to where I can even get five card stands and still win (Normally a five card stand is supposed to be 3 x your bet, which is why I did it.)

I have logs, but it wouldn't paste right and there are people who've seen me do this anyway.

And yeah Silvanus isn't wrong. It works with blackjack too. Me, Asmoth, Abrael, Elwynn once..we've played around with that before. It's the first player most that matters, the rest are "playing on his wing".

Over the six years on IRE, I've gambled up at least 10k lessons and over 3 million gold.

800k of it was on Lusternia.
Edit: All roulette.

Why does that require two people? You can't double your bet when you lose by yourself?

That's what I do, actually. Bet, switch colours if I lose, and double every time. Put the winnings away, and hope you end up winning more than you had to play with, and do -not- dig into your reserves.

I've lost about 400k, won probably about 300k doing this.

Yes, I know, I'm not really gaining anything by it. Etanru encourages me to keep gambling for some reason...

The problem with the double-your-bet thing is that if you keep doubling, you'll get to a point where you lose an incredible amount on your bet. Let's say you lose 7 times in a row, with an initial bet of 1000:

1000 + 2000 + 4000 + 8000 + 16000 + 32000 + 64000

That's 127k gold down the drain there from a single unlucky streak, whereas even if you have a lucky streak of 7 you'd only make 7k in that manner.

While it could work if you have an infinite supply of gold, you don't, and it's unlikely that most people would want to risk another 128k in trying to get their money back.

There's also the fact that there's a limit to how much you can bet. 100 lessons and 50k gold, isn't it?

my friends on achaea were playing roulette by betting 2 on a number, then when that got to the point where it wouldn't be profitable if you won, they would double the bet. They would keep doing that, and start over when they won. All but one made a LOT of money off of it. The other one lost all his money

Yes, it works with one person, but as Richter stated above, it's nowhere near the results of two people doing it.

And the trick is not to do it in a long period of time, because as stated before, some bored God/Celani can rig it against you.

Nothing beats hard work. If I time my spawns right (krokani, aslarans, merians, orcs, earth and gorgogs), and I put a good six hours into it (which is about how much I play a day), I can make 80k a day or more. Not to mention the experience and loads of karma.

As long as I don't piss someone off who can get me for my lack of selfishness (discipline?), I don't have a risk of losing it either.

But I'll probably have to try the tricks explained here just for the heck of it.

Frankly, Celanis and Divines are too busy to go rigging it against you (I doubt somebody who isn't a coder/Estarra could do it due to being a part of the code and not a mobprog, but not sure of it) nor would that be fair or professional.

Of course, the more you tempt your luck, the more chances of losing

All told in lusternia i've won a little over 5 million gold. To offset that i've probably lost about 3 million.

I've done 50k bets and lost 500k in one sitting, but i've also done 50k bets and won 700k. I usually start out at 1k doubling to 2k if I lose so forth and so on, once I lose 32k which thankfully isn't that often I'll do 2 50k bets or i'll start back off at 1k and recoup whatever losses I can. Though sometimes the fever grabs me an I make continous reckless bets.

You really need to just have perseverence since as Diamante said, there are an infinite number of decks. You've no idea how pissed off I get when I bet 50k get a blackjack and luckie pulls a blackjack out of her ass
