    Bankman-Fried convicted on all charges after weeks-long criminal trial

    The co-founder of the FTX crypto exchange was
    accused of one of the largest financial frauds in history.

    NEW YORK — A jury on Thursday convicted FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering, the culmination of a month-long trial that saw the former crypto mogul take the stand in his own defense after his inner circle of
    friends-turned-deputies provided damning testimony against him.

    ...

    Hey! Popinfart. You going to get any of your lost cripto money back?

    LOL! "Stolen Valor". Seriously Gas Bag? This coming from a dishonest,
    lying turd who never served, never fought and has never even heard a shot fired in anger.
    Why don't you do this group a huge favor and take a two or three year break? You know it would be greatly appreciated by the vast majority of people here.

    Irish Mike

    Who did serve, who did fight and who has definitely heard shots fired in anger. Now run off and hide Gas Bag.

    And you, Gas Bag, might just once in your miserable dishonest life
    tell the truth. Just once admit that it is left wing liberal
    Democrats who have moved to defund the police in their
    Democrat controlled cities. Like Seattle. Like Chicago. Like Philadelphia.
    Like Los Angles. Like Milwaukee. Like Baltimore.

    How about it Gas Bag. Every one knows this is the truth. It's all
    over the news, in the papers, in magazines, in police publications
    all over the internet. what about it Gas Bag? Will you
    just admit the truth one time? LOL! Didn't think so.

    You must be an idiot. Not only do you have an advantage, but I have quantified it for you. However, you are so ignorant that you cannot understand my answer, yet want to bang on about it.

    You must be an idiot. Not only do you have an advantage, but I have quantified it for you. However, you are so ignorant that you cannot understand my answer, yet want to bang on about it.
    So, you now admit I have an advantage in the Say Red game that you
    fought so hard to say I did not. Thank you for finally admitting you
    were wrong about something.

    Go back to bed.

    Read my responses for the past few weeks, then have someone competent explain them to you. You have done nothing but embarrass yourself.

    As for your basic contention, you seem to equate 'having an advantage' with 'winning every time'. If that is correct, you understand absolutely nothing about probability.

    Now, with the game that you proposed, you will have a huge advantage on any particular trial. Starting with a bankroll of $100 and trying to win $1, you will do so with probability 100/101

    However, you will lose your $100 with probability 1/101, giving the overall expectation as...0

    The probability that you will eventually win $1 with a bankroll of $100 at 'Say Red' (or the equivalent, a fair coin toss) is exactly 100/101. That means you have a huge advantage in playing a single time.

    You must be an idiot. Not only do you have an advantage, but I have quantified it for you. However, you are so ignorant that you cannot understand my answer, yet want to bang on about it.
    So, you now admit I have an advantage in the Say Red game that you >>>>>>> fought so hard to say I did not. Thank you for finally admitting you >>>>>>> were wrong about something.

    Go back to bed.

    Read my responses for the past few weeks, then have someone competent explain them to you. You have done nothing but embarrass yourself.

    Prove that I ever said that you did not have an advantage in the game that you proposed.

    As for your basic contention, you seem to equate 'having an advantage' with 'winning every time'. If that is correct, you understand absolutely nothing about probability.

    Now, with the game that you proposed, you will have a huge advantage on any particular trial. Starting with a bankroll of $100 and trying to win $1, you will do so with probability 100/101

    However, you will lose your $100 with probability 1/101, giving the overall expectation as...0
    The game is Say Red and I win if I say the last card is Red and it is
    Red. Repeat for the next play. Repeat for the next play. I said I had
    an advantage in the game and you said no.

    I said I would bet you that if we played for X a play, I would leave a
    winner of X after a time and that was my advantage. You said that was
    not an advantage. [You admit now that I do have "that" advantage.]

    When X became my "bet" and the "bet" was a $100 chip, you would not play >> because I would eventually win. The "odds" were too much in my favor
    ... because I had an advantage. [Odds in my favor is an "advantage".]

    [Originally, I did not limit my "advantage" to me only having a hundred >> hundreds ... but you said even that advantage was way too much for you. >> Actually, you said only a fool would take that bet.]

    Let me try one more time.

    The probability that you will eventually win $1 with a bankroll of $100 at 'Say Red' (or the equivalent, a fair coin toss) is exactly 100/101. That means you have a huge advantage in playing a single time.

    Try this enough times, and you will find that your expectation is exactly 0. It is a fairly simple example of the Gambler's Ruin problem.
    Obviously ... but originally, you said I had no advantage. I do if my
    goal is one bet. The size of the "bet" matters. I am not limited to
    100 units. But I do have the advantage, no matter what the limit.

    You were the one who said that you would bet $1 per time with a bankroll of $100. I never said that you would not have an advantage in a single trial. In fact, if I recall correctly, you would have an advantage, on average, up to 69 trials.

    You clearly understand nothing about this subject.

    Go and find a competent programmer who can run this as a simulation, and find out how often you gain $1, and how often you lose $100

    Try 1 million trials or so. The win/loss ration should be very close to 100.

    fought so hard to say I did not. Thank you for finally admitting you
    were wrong about something.

    Go back to bed.

    Read my responses for the past few weeks, then have someone competent explain them to you. You have done nothing but embarrass yourself.
    Thank you again for admitting I have an advantage that you initially
    said I did not have. Confession is good for the soul.
    Prove that I ever said that you did not have an advantage in the game that you proposed.

    As for your basic contention, you seem to equate 'having an advantage' with 'winning every time'. If that is correct, you understand absolutely nothing about probability.

    Now, with the game that you proposed, you will have a huge advantage on any particular trial. Starting with a bankroll of $100 and trying to win $1, you will do so with probability 100/101

    However, you will lose your $100 with probability 1/101, giving the overall expectation as...0
    The game is Say Red and I win if I say the last card is Red and it is >>>>>> Red. Repeat for the next play. Repeat for the next play. I said I had >>>>>> an advantage in the game and you said no.

    I said I would bet you that if we played for X a play, I would leave a
    winner of X after a time and that was my advantage. You said that was >>>>>> not an advantage. [You admit now that I do have "that" advantage.] >>>>>>
    When X became my "bet" and the "bet" was a $100 chip, you would not play
    because I would eventually win. The "odds" were too much in my favor >>>>>> ... because I had an advantage. [Odds in my favor is an "advantage".] >>>>>>
    [Originally, I did not limit my "advantage" to me only having a hundred
    hundreds ... but you said even that advantage was way too much for you.
    Actually, you said only a fool would take that bet.]

    Let me try one more time.

    The probability that you will eventually win $1 with a bankroll of $100 at 'Say Red' (or the equivalent, a fair coin toss) is exactly 100/101. That means you have a huge advantage in playing a single time.

    Try this enough times, and you will find that your expectation is exactly 0. It is a fairly simple example of the Gambler's Ruin problem.
    Obviously ... but originally, you said I had no advantage. I do if my >>>> goal is one bet. The size of the "bet" matters. I am not limited to >>>> 100 units. But I do have the advantage, no matter what the limit.

    You were the one who said that you would bet $1 per time with a bankroll of $100. I never said that you would not have an advantage in a single trial. In fact, if I recall correctly, you would have an advantage, on average, up to 69 trials.
    Liar ... I said I had an advantage in the game. I said I would win the
    one bet you had in front of you. Later I added that I had a hundred
    bets bankroll and I would play for your $100 chip ... you said I had too >> much "advantage" for that bet ... so you ran.

    Start again ... you have one chip ... I have as many chips as I want to >> have ... thousands ... do I have the "advantage" in winning your chip?

    Well? Simple question ... simple answer? Yes or No ...

    You clearly understand nothing about this subject.

    Go and find a competent programmer who can run this as a simulation, and find out how often you gain $1, and how often you lose $100

    Try 1 million trials or so. The win/loss ration should be very close to 100.
    Simple answer requested ... dodge received.
    Start again ... you have one chip ... I have as many chips as I want to
    have ... thousands ... do I have the "advantage" in winning your chip?

    Are you really an idiot, or are you afraid of the answer?

    You have simply refused to answer simple questions for weeks.

    When you say "I have an advantage in this game", do you mean that you win every single time? If not, how often do you win that $1 on a $100 bankroll?

    Original Say Red thread ... original game. I said I had an "advantage"
    and you said I did not. I did not say nor did I limit my bankroll. There
    was no specification of the size of the "bet".

    When I offered a different "bet" and limited my bankroll ... you said

    much is "enough". 50/50 on each trial.

    Thank you. That is an answer. With a bankroll of $B, betting $1 each time, you will win $1 with a probability of B/(1+B), and lose your bankroll with a probability of 1/(1+B). That is some fairly simple probability theory.

    Original Say Red thread ... original game. I said I had an "advantage" >>>>> and you said I did not. I did not say nor did I limit my bankroll. There >>>>> was no specification of the size of the "bet".

    When I offered a different "bet" and limited my bankroll ... you said >>>>> anyone who took that bet was stupid. Why would you say that unless you >>>>> understood that I had the advantage?

    Original game ... I said I had an "advantage" ... admit that I do.

    I say I will win every single time we play when I only want one chip and >>>>> I have "lots" of bankroll. Do I need an infinite bankroll, Tim? How
    much is "enough". 50/50 on each trial.

    Thank you. That is an answer. With a bankroll of $B, betting $1 each time, you will win $1 with a probability of B/(1+B), and lose your bankroll with a probability of 1/(1+B). That is some fairly simple probability theory.
    You are a fraud, Tim.

    You will not play Say Red with me because I have an "advantage" ... I
    only want one chip ... admit it. Or run away again ... or just change
    the subject.

    [You only ran when I said lets play for a single black chip ... that is
    when you realized I had the advantage. My "advantage" was too great. How >>> did you put it, only a fool would play me!]
    .
    Dear God. You really are that stupid.
    .

    Of course not. It's just that, like the rest of the right-wingers, they've gone so far down the rabbit hole it's
    too great an embarrassment to admit to having been wrong. They consider it Terminal Shame.

    Jerry, will you play Say Red with me for black chips?

    I think I have an "advantage" over you (and Tim) ... and Tim knows that
    I do think I will leave a winner. How about it, Jerry ... are you too embarrassed to play?

    I don't think you are that stupid.

    I told you, and you appear to lack the ability to understand.
    I quantified the chance of your win with any particular finite bankroll.
    Your claim that you would win 'every time' with a finite bankroll is simply incorrect, but cannot be settled by a single trial.

    That statement is simply false.

    Well, more Jerry like every dodge. I first said I would win every time
    if I quit when I won one bet ... no limit on my bankroll. You continue
    to dodge that original claim of an "advantage". Why not just answer
    that original claim as "correct".

    While you are at it ... how about that easy calculation of just how long
    it is likely for me to get ahead one bet in a 50/50 game? Half the time
    it is only one play!

    My second offer was an actual bet ... I bet you $100 I would win one bet
    from you with only 100 bets on my side ... you finally figured out I was correct ... my "advantage" was just too much for you. [I did not claim
    I would win every single time ... I said I had enough to make a really
    good bet. You tripped running from that simple bet.]

    I said I had an "advantage" in the Say Red game. You said I did not. I
    said I would play until I won one bet ... and you ran from the game.

    I then proposed something different ... an actual bet where we would
    play where you had one bet and I had 100 bets but if I won your one bet, >> I would get $100 additional from you. You said only a fool (you?) would >> take that bet. Second run. [I had too much "advantage" for you.]

    Since you will not take an "actual" bet on whether I will indeed win
    your one dollar, you will try to redefine the word "advantage" or run
    away again.

    I have an "advantage" in the Say Red game if I quit when I win one chip. >>
    Yes or no, Tim ... [we all know the answer is yes.]

    Are you mentally ill?

    You made a specific claim which is wrong.

    In summary, you have claimed that, betting $1 per trial with a $100 bankroll, you can get to $101 EVERY time.

    Is that still your claim?

    You have claimed that you can win a single bet EVERY TIME, and also said above (or in the other thread) that a bankroll of $100 would suffice.

    Yes or no, Tim ... [we all know the answer is yes.]

    Are you mentally ill?

    You made a specific claim which is wrong.

    In summary, you have claimed that, betting $1 per trial with a $100 bankroll, you can get to $101 EVERY time.

    Is that still your claim?

    Basically, you have the reduced sample space, since you are assuming that the underdog won. That means dividing the raw expected value by the probability of that happening, namely 1/(B+1).

    Then, take w to be the number of individual trials that the other player has won.
    'binomial(m,n)' is the binomial coefficient, counting the number of ways that you can select n things from m.
    In this case, you are selecting the locations for w wins and w+B losses for the other player.
    The first binomial counts the number of ways that this can happen BY the (2w+B)th trial, the second term compensates for the fact that it might have happened earlier. The 1+2w should have been B+2w, the total number of trials, which we are averaging. The
    last term (corrected here) is the probability for the event in question.

    Corrected, this should read

    $ (B+1) \sum_{w=0}^\infty \left\{ binomial(2w+B,w)-binomial(2w-2+B,w-1)\right\} (B+2w) \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{2w+B}$

    If we flip it and ask for the average length until the other player has an advantage, we get

    $ (B+1)/B \sum_{w=0}^\infty \left\{ binomial(2w+1,w+1)-binomial(2w-1,w)\right\} (1+2w) \left \frac{1}{2} \right)^{2w+1} $

    $ (B+1) \sum_{w=0}^\infty \left\{ binomial(2w+B,w)-binomial(2w-2+B,w-1)\right\} (1+2w) \left \frac{B}{B+1} \right)^w \left( \frac{1}{B+1} \right^{w+B} $
    um, can you translate that into human, or suggest a tool to translate it?

    Basically, you have the reduced sample space, since you are assuming that the underdog won. That means dividing the raw expected value by the probability of that happening, namely 1/(B+1).

    Then, take w to be the number of individual trials that the other player has won.
    'binomial(m,n)' is the binomial coefficient, counting the number of ways that you can select n things from m.
    In this case, you are selecting the locations for w wins and w+B losses for the other player.
    The first binomial counts the number of ways that this can happen BY the (2w+B)th trial, the second term compensates for the fact that it might have happened earlier. The 1+2w should have been B+2w, the total number of trials, which we are averaging.
    The last term (corrected here) is the probability for the event in question.

    Corrected, this should read

    $ (B+1) \sum_{w=0}^\infty \left\{ binomial(2w+B,w)-binomial(2w-2+B,w-1)\right\} (B+2w) \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{2w+B}$

    If we flip it and ask for the average length until the other player has an advantage, we get

    $ (B+1)/B \sum_{w=0}^\infty \left\{ binomial(2w+1,w+1)-binomial(2w-1,w)\right\} (1+2w) \left \frac{1}{2} \right)^{2w+1} $

    My apologies. That solution is still not quite correct, although it is the correct order. I must think a little more.
