    Now I have been testing hes strategy, but on even money with the groups of 1/3 and getting identical results.
    I take actuals from real tables and take the first sequence that qualifies and play it out.
    After that I move to the next table, just to get as close I can to jumping from table to table to get as close to reality as possible with the simulation.

    I was intrigued that he test the strategy on F. Scoblets actuals where you can verify the strategi results.
    And I don't care what people think, but a player edge of 7.3 after over 300 sessions is for me really good result and that was done flat betting with 0/00 tables.

    Now imagine that with La Partage Rule (1.35%) or Player side with Baccarat (1.36%).
    This is the next system I will post with test results.

    Cheers

    R.D. Ellison. I wonder if he's still in prison?

    Hello Fathead - tell me more - did not know he was in Prison and for what?
    All I know is the famous article with him and the math professor discussing roulette and probability.
    And I have hes book that is a really good read, in my opinion.


    Cheers

    I have his Craps book. I cannot find the details but he was convicted of murder. Killed one or both of his parents, I cannot remember exactly.

    You know, I can find zero details now so cannot confirm that it was murder. My memory has faded about this.

    I will just say RD Ellison did some jail time which stopped his publishing. Last gambling book was 2005 then nothing until 2012 when he wrote a book about the legal system and defending yourself in court. Whether he wrote this in prison or after he got out I don't know. I will leave it at that
