John,I can't say if Mike would choose to register at lotterypost. Although I seem to remember him being registered at another gaming forum. His expertise would certainly be an asset here at lotterypost.If he does... There was a follow-up question I had to the 10 loss outside bet probabilities in Roulette that I asked about. I had taken his figures and used them in my own equations. I was uncertain if I had them right .http://wizardofodds.com/gambling/betting-systems.htmlI see that he has since... [ More ]

Sedertree, Todd -I took the liberty of sending Mr. Shackleford the web address of this thread. I have no idea what his reaction will be, if any. But any query I've made to him in the past has generated a quick response.gljohn

Pigskin,At one time I did reveal my theory as part of the software that I developed.Reika Roulette System 1.0I've since updated the software with new algorithms, but the concept is still the same. I don't share the new software or the theory/algorithms. Too many people out there like to take credit for other peoples research.

Sed, would you mind revealing your theory? Also, some mathematicians are cryptographers. Are there any on the LP

John,In your line of work , I'm not at all surprised that you are familiar with Michael Shackleford's expertise as the self-proclaimed Wizard of Odds . He is a very gifted actuary and he seems friendly enough. At least with my dealings with him.He posted on his website that he would be on the Travel Channel in a gaming challenge. I tuned in, only to watch him lose 10k on Roulette. There was another guy playing Blackjack and two ladies. One was playing Baccarrat and the other was playing Craps.... [ More ]

Sedertree -The Wizard of Odds (Michael Shackleford) has been in the odds business for years. His main slant is towards card (mainly poker) and casino games. Good information in his specialized niche. We exchanged links a couple of years ago - I don't know whether he still has the link to my site on his page but I maintain the link to his. Seems like a reasonable person to deal with.gljohn

What about John Nash, the subject of the movie, A Beautiful Mind ?Here's a thought. The randomness of the lottery doesn't use filters. Perhaps we should be just as random and hope for a coincidence.

Anyone Here: (Except Me)Bayesians WorldwideAlso try Mike, the Wizard of Odds ... He answered a question of mine a couple of years ago. Then declined to test my roulette system (RRS). However, he has since appeared on a couple of gaming specials filmed in Vegas. So he may not offer free advice any longer.

Hello all. I am doing some research on the lottery and I want to find out who are the greatest living mathematicians and/or philosophers who specialize in randomness and probability? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
