Revealing slots secrets: Generating a PAR sheet through
statistical methods ,
by Catalin
Barboianu - posted on 22/05/2013
In this article, the author argues that there is no
rational justification for this secrecy by giving two
reasons, one psychological and the other mathematical. For
the latter, he shows that mathematics provides us with some
statistical methods of retrieving the missing data, which
are essential for the numerical probability computations in
slots. The slots case raises the problem of the exposure of
the parametric configuration and mathematical facts of any
game of chance as an ethical obligation.

Returning
the
Odds: Partial simulations vs. compact formulas
, by Catalin Barboianu - posted on 05/21/2007
The purpose of this article is to make a comparison from
both a mathematical and a practical point of view between the
returns of partial simulations and the returns of the compact
probability formulas with respect to the gambling odds. The
target practical aspect is a good approximation of the real
probability and is not accomplished by most part of the
so-called odds calculators found on the Internet - they do not
return odds (probabilities), but relative frequencies, in
conditions of questionable randomness and not enough long sequence
of simulations. |
