OLDMAN
I'm 68 and retired. Well, from a paying job anyway!
I once had the privilege of testing a robot. The goal was to win on black, red, odd or even. The progression was up one on a loss and down one on a win. Most of the time it won.
One night I lost 34,000 pennies. Yes, I had set the bot to play pennies at BetVoyager Non Zero. That shakes out to $340 in real money out of Sam's pocket. What happened?, you ask.
It went red and never evened out. Or maybe it was black. But it never evened out. Had I not been playing the progression, I might have lost less. The point is: There is absolutely no guarantee that equalization will occur. It probably will and usually does, but the one time it doesn't is murder. With a robot or even an excel sheet by Nick, you can test hundreds of thousands of spins and see the big picture.
NOW
There are those who say, "Hey, I never play hundreds of thousands of spins." and they're right. The rub is that you never know when the devil will rear his ugly head. You may actually rock along for a couple of months doing quite well. Then you hit the wall and you ask yourself: Do I cut my losses and quit or do I dig deeper and keep on playing?
I can assure you beyond speculation that--if you play long enough--you will encounter the run from hell and it will destroy you. It can be show mathematically that the illusion of equalization is just that--an illusion.
But, hey, we're playing for the fun of it anyway, right?
