But Duritz, if you claim to be able to do such basic probability, how can you NOT realize that once more Bhagwan is talking nonsense.
Obviously the largest run of outs increases with the more bets you make.
Anyway here are the maths.

To paraphrase Groucho, maybe a Grade 3 schoolboy can understand that, but where on Earth am I going to find one. |
Thank you JFC, I feel vindicated. I also think Bagman's figures say nothing. I had previous stated on an earlier page: 'Expected runs of outs' are meaningless. I did however extent the courtesy for him to explain his reasoning.
I had explained previously [3rd or 4th post here] how to work out [simply] the odds of an any run of outs. The odds of various possible outs happening are more meaningful and useful than 'expected". Surely a grade 3 schoolboy should have been able to take it from there for their betting purposes Duritz ?
Cheers.
