A 2 spin-game is the simplest possible using your staking. How can you NOT understand it!

Don't you understand what your 4 possible results will be?

Are you unaware that the win probability is 18/37 and a loss is 19/37?

Or that the probability of 2 independent events both occurring is the product of their individual probabilities?

If you don't know what expectation is then google it up.

Work through at least my simple 2-spin example. I suspect one of us will then learn something.


Your results should suggest 1 of 3 things.
Equal to level stakes, returning a $10 loss.
Worse, a loss of more than $10.
Better, a loss of less than $10, or a win.

If your results suggest 1 of these 3 things, then I will understand it...
