Hello all

I was born in a small island in indian ocean.  It is sometimes a round of the world surfing championship, since it has a unique wave coming from left.  In that area of the island surfers go each and everyday :"how is the water today ?" by which they mean : is it possible to surf or not ?

What does this has to do with roulette ? You may ask.  Stay with me, I'll try to explain.

I just uploaded a calc (open office) file in the members only download section.  It is called the Multi_Lw tracker. 

Why did I choose calc over excel, which I also have ?
First, I like it when it is free.  Second, I don't think excel can do one specific thing that makes openoffice calc very interesting in my opinion : opening two instances of the same file.  With this feature, you can view two different areas of your spreadsheet and organize it throughout your screen.  (See pictures below)

What is this file for ? I would say it is in between a simple spreadsheet and a software.  It helped me test new ideas about roulette, and I think you may find it handy, too.

So now I will present those ideas, and then how I implemented them :

• First thing first, the basis is "Lw", dozens and columns.  The Multi_Lw tracker reproduces the tracks you can find in Victor's software.

• Second, I wanted to explore further this - now - understood concept of "Lw" with even chances.  Indeed, there are three types of even chances : red-black, even-odd, high-low.  Haha.  There are also three dozens and three columns.  What can we do with that ? Since it is dangerous to play only red-black, or high low, or to wait x misses then bet, etc, would it not be far less dangerous to try and combine those ? So I came up with eight possible configurations : Red-Even-Low; Red-Even-High, Red-Odd-Low, . . . . . .  Black-Odd-High.  See all of them in the file.  Then we can imagine different scenarios :
  - what are the two last combinations (ROL-BEH for example) ? And did the ball hit those, or one of the six remaining ?
  - what are the three last combinations, and did the ball hit those, or one of the 5 remaining ?
  etc.

• Third, what about the wheel ? There are also ways to divide it into three parts.  This, plus the idea of the wheel being a kind of clock, led to the following idea : suppose the ball hits one number, I want to know if from there it is going to hit the same again, or one of its 24 followers, in wheel order, and clockwise ? Or, if time goes in reverse ways, what if next hit the ball goes either to the same, the 12 following, or the previous 12 ones ?
  

You may have also noticed there are several tabs. Let's talk about them.

While playing, you are going to spend a lot of time screening the first : "Main". For each spin you can have a look at the different trackers to see what is happening. There is an automatic counting feature above each track that tells you how many "LLLw"s, "LLLLw"s etc you get.
As in Victor's, there are also betting advisors.

The second one is where all the "cooking" takes place : I have hidden nothing there. You can study and verify each and every formula used. I would gladly fix any pointed mistake.

The four following tabs are places where I have put statistics for each phenomenon. So after each session, you can copy and paste the results into the table below, and then calculate mean and SD. If I am not being clear here, have a look at the file, I guess you will see some light.
I have included 32 to 64 results from Wiesbaden permanences studied in those stats. Since the tracker goes up to 90 spins, that is an analysis from about 2,700 to 5,400 spins. A little more testing than my previous attempt, it seems 

The following tab is where you can store permanences for future analysis, at your will. From there you either input a formula in the "Main" tab to get the spins, or simply copy and paste. I have preloaded two recent Wiesbaden permanences, at your convenience.

The last tab is the basis for the wheel analysis and subsequent tracker.

In the last pic, you can have a feeling of what you get when you start inputting spins.

Thanks Stepydan for your thoughts and insights  But now you got me curious in knowing which island it is were you com from?? Must be very nice, with white beaches and turguas ( light blue ) seas??
