Okay I was playin craps the other day and I was lookin at bets and thinking maybe a progression system could work
Take the any craps bet...it pays 7 to 1...the true odds are 8 to 1 but think about this for a second and explain to me why this wont work
Okay there are 36 possible rolls and 4 of them are craps so on average there will be a craps every 9 rolls in the long run
Lets say you do a progression for 9 rolls 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 (9th roll is craps in this example) well you lost 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36 before you won 63 on the 9th roll for a net profit of 27
I know this is stupid and Im missing the math somewhere but explain it to me
