Fun competition. CS, your ability to go back and forth between streak mode and tournament mode is impressive. I had a brief phase where I could summon the patience to streak well but it evaporated when I busted my 6x6 streak in the upper 40's. I keep thinking the best way to get it back is to play 6x6 like it is in a Lightning tournament but that approach is kicking my a**. I'm reluctant to risk any of the other streaks if I can't slow down and at least get a 6x6 streak into level 8 or 9.

Thanks Kaos, though I haven't been playing many tournaments lately, but I do think streaking can slow me down when I am playing both. For streaking I have to get in the right mindset because each variant is so different and the length of the streak on the line is so important, so it is a good mental exercise for me on how to attack each unique challenge. For me I think switching up the variants helps keep me fresh, I can't play more than a few games where I expect to spend 2-4 minutes staring at the screen working something out in my head...so if I limit those by interspersing them with relatively easy variants it seems to help. I do feel your pain on playing variants like 6x6 as if they are lightning...when I have shorter streaks going and play carelessly to just get through those low level games, I end up stuck at levels 5 & 6. If I fail enough, I like to reset my mental goal of when to start taking the streak seriously. So if I originally plan to slow down once I hit 20 wins but crash 2-3 times in the teens I'll step back and say, maybe 15 should be my goal. Get myself to 15 then take a break, and when I come back to that variant play with a slower more deliberate attitude. p.s. - just got over 10,000,000 earlier today after getting so close last week (9.8kk) before blowing my 10x2 & 11x1 streaks.

Had to look up that scoring formula again. For some reason, I thought we were based on natural logarithms instead of log base(2). It's comforting to know I only have to double the length of five current streaks to reach a HWM in the ten million range and not eight of the nine.

Hate to have an hour like this... 6/23 0:19 am 4x8 31914-5 Streak 5:05 Lost 6/22 11:25 pm 12x0 8052-8 Streak 3:22 Lost 6/22 11:22 pm 12x0 16977-8 Streak 2:49 Won 6/22 11:18 pm 10x2 9907-10 Streak 6:12 Lost streaks of 9 (4x8), 33 (12x0), and 197 (10x2) all gone in a span of an hour.

Ouch. That hour will likely cost you even more than an hour to get all those back, at the piddling rate you play. ( LOL.) Looks like only the 10x2 was a winnable game, but a toughie. Not much you can do about the 12x0, and with only 2 plays, maybe the 4x8 is also designed to be a loss. On the other hand, your 6x6 streak I've been watching, currently third all-time, is quite remarkable. As is your 5x7 streak, possibly as high as 5th all-time.

hit 3 more impossibles today ending my 10x1, 11x1 and 4x7 streaks. Can't seem to improve my all time bests in those variants, get so close only to see the dealer decide to end the streak. Now to hope the few variants I have strong streaks still going in don't go up in flames. Not to jinx it, but I'm hopeful that I can keep the 5x7 and/or the 6x6 going until #1...heck I'd love to keep my 8x3 and 7x4 going until #1 as well...but I don't want to get too greedy hoping for all 4...I'll be lucky to get 1 of them. Now that reaching a new high for this competition is out, maybe I'll play more to advance those streaks and try and get to #1 than just playing them enough to keep them active for the competition.

I purposely hadn't not mentioned the 6x6, so as not to do the jinx thing. I'm assuming you're doing your usual liberal tipping...

That's the great thing about the "winnables" variants, it's all on the individual for losses, not the randomness of the draw. By the way, I try the 12X0 variant occasionally and got burned the other day on what I think is an unwinnable game, 12X0 - 17935-6. Check it out, but I think it's not winnable. I wish there was a "winnable" version of 12X0, but I know that is not going to happen.

That one is almost certainly unwinnable, Punster. And remember, the same thing that makes winnable games "winnable" is the same thing that makes them much more easily corruptible, as has been amply demonstrated.

gumby, here is an overview... First you get a score in each variant. This score starts at 1, then increases by 1 when you double the length of your streak (it's actually doubling the length of your streak + 2 to avoid some weird math when dealing with streaks of 0...I've added a table at the end of this with examples) After this, the 9 scores are multiplied to give the total score. Score for a single variant: Streak, Streak + 2, Points 0, 2, 1 2, 4, 2 6, 8, 3 14, 16, 4 30, 32, 5 62, 64, 6 126, 128, 7

Here's the calculation of the last score for the current leader as an example using PARI/GP calculator: ? log(5+2)*log(38+2)*log(183+2)*log(274+2)*log(264+2)*log(324+2)*log(254+2)*log(125+2)*log(29+2)/log(2)^9 %1 = 16995836.24365849104205698555 ? ?log log(x): natural logarithm of x. log2(x)=log(x)/log(2) And it can be calculated for my score as below: ? log(200+2)*log(5+2)^2*log(6+2)/log(2)^4 %2 = 181.0686461001263044144699660 log(2)^4 because I have 4 variants taken into account.

In case you don't get any or all of that, gumbybros, let my put my own spin on it. CubicSprock's method is correct, but he leaves out the "how" of it. HopDiri..... maybe has *too much* math, but seems correct - altho I'm not sure why he/she's involving the natural log. That's not part of it or necessary. So, for a personal example for you.....you have won, as of the last tally above, 40 in a row in 9x3. Add 2; that's 42. Find log (base 2) of that. I.e., what exponent would 2 need to have in order to 'get to' 42. (There are several web calculators if you don't have one on your computer that will do it (I don't).) That number is 5.39 (rounded). So 2^5.39 ~= 42. Repeat for each of the other variants and multiply all together.

No division is needed! HDDDDD has "/log(2)^9" at the end of his formula. log(2)=1! log(2)^9=1! Why bother to divide by "1"?? Btw, in QuatroPro, log to the base 2 of X is: "@LOGBASE(X,2)". I don't know about other spreadsheets, but I would guess that they all have a "log to the base 2" function.

TT, in PARI/GP calculator log(x) means natural log. I have included that bit in my message. So you need that "/log(2)" bit. For example: ? log(2) %13 = 0.6931471805599453094172321215 ? exp(log(2)) %14 = 2.000000000000000000000000000

Here's all you need to know. The benefit of getting a streak of 1 in a variant is huge, so you even have to suffer getting one in 4x8, 5x6 and 4x7, all of which I hate. Getting to a streak of 2 is massive and then the benefit of adding to your streak progressively declines. Going from 100 to 101 in 8x4 doesn't do much. So you have to decide whether to increase your streak in a variant that is easy like 8x4, where you already have a long streak and it doesn't do much for you, or try adding to a short streak in a variant like 12x0, where you risk getting an unwinnable game and losing whatever streak you have.

Getting a streak of 1 means you have multiplied your score with ~1.585 ? log(1+2)/log(0+2) %57 = 1.584962500721156181453738944 Similarly when going from 1 to 2 you multiply your score with ~1.262 ? log(2+2)/log(1+2) %59 = 1.261859507142914874199054229 so on... But when you have a streak of 1000 and win another game you multiply your score with ~1.00015 ? log(1001+2)/log(1000+2) %61 = 1.000144362074370327531319652

What this methodology means (interpretation w/o math): 1. The methodology rewards evenness across all streaks, not depth in a few 2. Therefore, the highest score would be to have the same number of wins across all variants 3. But the tails (4x8 and 12x0) have the most unwinnable games 4. Doubling your streak does NOT double your score (see Diminishing Return below) 5. Adding 1 win early in a streak has tremendous impact, but every win has a diminishing return The formula uses log2(# of wins + 2). What is log2(x)? Do you remember exponents? You will see the correlation in below. Wins Log2(wins) Diminishing Return 1 0 2 1 3 1.6 4 2 (100% increase from 2) 8 3 (50% increase from 4) 16 4 (33% increase from 8) 32 5 (20% increase from 16) 64 6 (16% increase from 32) Why +2? The methodology adds 2 to your number of wins so that the minimum score that you have for for each variant is 1.

Not to be overly technical, but item #2 above is not true - as stated. It would be true with the addition of "given x number of games played". For example, if one had a streak of 1000 in, say, 9x3, and a streak of 1 in all the others, that would result in a higher score than if one had a streak of 1 in all. Still don't get HopDiri's "natural log" appellation. I suspect he/she's saying that his/her program *defines* "natural log" as a log base 10. Which would be an utterly weird and confusing definition, as "natural log" means using the base of *e*. But isn't it great to again be having a 'debate' on this forum of substance? lol....

TNmountainman and ix, yes log(x)=ln(x) it's the only built-in function available for taking logs in PARI/GP calculator and named as log(x). So you need to define your own function for other bases. You can do it in various ways: mylog(x,base)=log(x)/log(base) or log2(x)=log(x)/log(2) or log10(x)=log(x)/log(10) I didn't choose defining a new function and used the available function as is.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I *KNEW* (the real) natural log "ln(x)" wasn't needed. I have no knowledge of what "PARI/GP" is. Apparently you're doing a semi-automated(?) calculation, while I (and I think CS) were just trying to 'splain the 'logic' of it. CS's explanation is fine, but only gives exact, whole numbers for multiples of the "(+2)" score values. I.e., when the streak+2 = a multiple of 2. I intended to help gumbybros calculate it for himself, relatively straightforwardly, as he went along, which I intuited (possibly incorrectly) to be his aim.

3 months ago, I would have told you 20,000,000 was all but impossible. About a month ago that changed and I knew I had a chance to do it, but there was still a question if I would. I'm happy to say that is no longer a question as earlier this week I broke the mark! To put it in perspective, looking at TitanicTony's work from May 13, only ValpoJim had achieved 20,000,000 using ALL TIME best streaks.
