    chkdsk -f (or r or whatever the third option is), reboot twice, but do it multiple times because steam on linux asks you to reinstall the games in the exact same spot and you accidentally do it because you’re not paying close attention due to the mild panic windows threw at you?




  • making a small profit

    Right, this is what people always gloss over to just say that eventually the bet will be too big to sustain. Even if you win repeatedly, the bets you make after 3 or 4 losses are vast in comparison the amount you’ll ‘gain’ per win. For the doubling (Martingale strategy), if your bet starts at $1, and you win $2 off of that, it doesn’t matter how much you are eventually betting, you’ll only make $1 for the whole cycle.

    The tripling helps for the profit angle, somewhat. I ran the numbers for total amount of times betting before a win for net win. I wish the formatting let me make tables, but oh well.

    Total Times Bet(bet amount): total of bet: net winning:

    1 (1) … 1 … 1

    2 (3) … 4 … 2

    3 (9) … 13 … 5

    4 (27) … 40 … 16

    5 (81) … 121 … 41

    6 (243) … 364 … 122

    7 (729) … 1093 … 365

    8 (2187) …3280 … 1094

    9 (6561) … 9841 … 3281

    10 (19683) … 29524… 9842
