Wildcat Blog #64687632121-124:

Think I may have returned my sleep schedule back to some semblance of normal. Got home from work last night, took a long hot shower.... passed out on the couch at around 9pm... woke up at midnight... went back to sleep at 2:30am... woke up at 5:30am... feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!

I just got offered great odds of 4:1 against a bet, but I suspect it might drop out as far as 10:1.

Well, let me see if I can provide the assist. Just a little something I came up with....

Here is a simple equation to assist you in determining the probability of hitting your bets...

Parlaying your bets:

Expectation = [1/4 x (+13)] + [3/4 x (-5)]= -2/4= -0.5

E per $1 bet = -0.5/5 = -0.10, or 10% house advantage

E=[1/64 x (+44)] + [63/64 x (-1)] = -19/64 = -0.297, or 29.7% house advantage

Straight Bet:

Expectation=[0.5 x (+10)] + [0.5 x (-11)]= -0.5

E per $1 bet = -0.5/11 = -0.045, or 4.5% house advantage

Overcoming the House Advantage:
[10 x (-11)] + [11 x (+10)] = 0

An easier way to express this is to say that you have to win 11 out of 21 bets, 11/21=0.5238, or 6=52.4% to break even.

Let me know if you plan on Teasing the over!
