Can anyone point me to a good, comprehensive list of discrete probability distributions? I was working on a hobby problem a while back, and I think I came up with a new one. I ran it by one of my old probability theory teachers, who said that he thought he had seen something like it, but couldn't remember where.

If I can't find it anywhere, should I write a short paper on it? How else could I find out if 'my' distribution has already been worked on before?

Why don't you give us the distribution? I don't think people will care if you found a new distribution unless you have a good reason for them to care about. I doubt writing a paper would be a good idea in that case.
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
