A "double round robin" tournament, where each contestant meets every other contestant twice? A "single elimination tournament" where a contestant is out as soon as he/she loses? A "double elimination tournament" where a contestant is out as soon as he/she loses twice?

Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...

Thread 'Roulette wheel physics and probability'

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...
