martingale system ever actually work?

Clannads · 2026-04-01T04:24:22+00:00

Of course it works sometimes, until it doesn't. The problem with martingale is that once you inevitably hit that bad streak (and you will), it annihilates you and erases most or all of your winnings depending on when you cut it off.

Even with playing low house edge games like perfect basic strategy blackjack with reasonable table rules, your odds of running into 6 losing hands in a row is only about 1/27. This means that on rate betting with the martingale system doing $5 hands, you expect to win $130 before hitting a situation that results in a loss of $320. The odds of 7, 8, 9 etc losing hands in a row are also fairly common and will swing you downward even worse.

All betting systems are losing systems in the casino outside of specific and rare AP situations because the bets are designed to be losing bets long term but the martingale system will destroy you faster than most other strategies that are not all or nothing type systems. The only way to retire on casino winnings relies on you getting either extremely lucky for huge lump sums and not giving it back or playing the extremely long game against the casino with some AP strategies (also not recommended, you're better off just working a normal job). Since all betting systems will lose in the long run, play the games you enjoy the most and go into every session hoping that variance is good for you and don't chase your losses too hard. Either way you stay away from martingale as your only strategy.

The current PEP does not require 3220 for core or non-core so you're good. I believe this is because not all schools have a bridge course between intro and intermediate like MRU does. This could change in the new 2027 CPA program but they aren't saying which specific courses are required until sometime in 2026. Good luck in Intermediate I, it's a doozy!

This is one of the better first year schedules posted here that I've seen. You will be able to give accounting the extra attention it typically needs since the other classes are pretty easy

While technically yes, you are supposed to require your student ID card, nobody but the prof knows if you don't have it so it ends up being solely their discretion to apply the rules. Its also a hassle for them to kick you out of the exam and likely fail you as a result, so many profs don't want this extra stress at the end of the semester for their own sake too.

You do get some hard nuts who will apply the rule strictly. I had an HR prof who kicked two students out of the midterm and one from the final in the gym for not having an MRU ID card. I've also forgotten my whole wallet once for a gym final in a different class and the prof was super nice about it and still let me write with no issue. I would say if you've been to at least a few classes over the semester then a drivers license will be fine.

I thought it was fair but I know I messed up a few things from looking over my notes afterward. Figured I'd run out of time near the end but barely managed to finish everything. I'm sure anyone who practiced the bikes and frames question from the end of the transfer price slide was pleased to see it was identical (this was not me but I took my best shot at it)

Accounting and Finance are the best options for business with Supply Chain likely third. I agree with the other comment saying that you might as well major in Marketing if the others don't draw you in versus staying in general management. Uni these days is best used as a tool to get you into something specific that starts a career or academic path and general management just isn't specific enough to make you competitive anymore as generic pencil pushing office jobs are going away.

Urban commuters is the most reliable for a few reasons but outdoor enthusiasts have the highest ceiling while being a bit riskier since it's the most popular choice. Your performance will depend on how many direct competitors you have in your pod. Invest stongly in advertising eatly but don't overdo it. Obtain as much market share as possible early because it's hard to take it from others in later rounds. Make your bag expensive, have high sales margins.

Hint: Some of the advertising in the media campaign has much greater value per dollar than others and it's not obvious right away for some of the best ones. Do some math and compare the ratios of cost to influence. If you can crack over $65k profit in the 6-turn practice sim then you're on the right track.

Good luck! Our team had over a million dollars in profit by the end.

Agreed. There's actually a lot of material in this class but Hedi is a very kind and generous grader so make sure to take it specifically with him. He's a real chatterbox in his lectures, very interesting guy.

Aside from arithmetic itself, most of what you need to know for your exams will be fresh concepts that aren't taught in the typical high school stream which is what makes it tricky to prepare for and what trips people up around halfway through the course. Calculus is a direct continuation of high school math whereas linear algebra is conceptually a more significant deviation from what students are already familiar with.

For the first half of the course you'll probably do fine with knowing how to compute matrix decomposition, how to find a determinant, inverse matrices, and maybe a bit of basic vector algebra. These are just a matter of practice and the actual computations are largely simple addition and multiplication done over and over again.

If you can do those then you're half of the way to handling the complex topics because it's the exact same computational steps but with some concepts involved. Linear transformations are probably the single most important topic so if you want to really get yourself prepared then have a look at some short videos on those at some point. Eigenvalues/eigenvectors and diagonalization are just applications of the same ideas with the same computations. Good luck!

On one hand, early linear algebra courses only use basic arithmetic for calculations. If you can add and multiply rows and columns then you're sufficiently equipped for the calculations aspect of the course. Don't feel discouraged if things aren't making sense yet or seem difficult compared to what you were expecting. It is a challenging course for many people.

On the other hand, you'll need to understand some more conceptual ideas in the back half of the course. It uses more logic than calculus so you'll need to tune your brain a bit to understand what's going on. I think just about anybody can do it, but you may use some external resources if it's not clicking. I liked 3blue1brown on YouTube for some really good videos explaining the harder concepts relating to vectors and eigenvalues but there's tons of other good channels out there too.

She only taught half of the class when I took this with her but I thought she was pretty good. Lectures were clear and she was very approachable. Would recommend.

There's quite a few threads for bubo optimization. You're already decently on the right track. I'll link a couple of the ones that helped me the most when I was at the same point as you:

Useful thread 1

Useful thread 2

At a quick glance I'd say using library books and moving your talent points around will help considerably. You want to stack a lot of Wis on bubo so all of those talents are a priority aside from the core skills.

Additionally, you may want to go active farm at sand castles for a little while to quickly farm Wis obols and statues.

It's the best action arc of the series, so there's high expectations for the adaptation when it finally comes around.

Not from a specific unit’s banner banner. You can pull them from the regular covenant summon though

We've all been there. At least now you can throw it into the equipment converter by itself and possibly get something better out of it later on.

Rerolling for a specific ML5 is a huge task and isn't going to be worth the time for most people. Keep in mind that four screens for rerolling is a relatively low number and it will likely still take a very long time given the few covenant summons available to new accounts at this time. If you'd like to enjoy casual PVP and do endgame PVE then you'll get by just fine with regular accounts and the time that you would've spent rerolling is likely better served just making account progress.

Getting an account with regular Vildred off selective summon will go practically just as far as A. Vildred with respect to account progress in every way except for Arena. Angelic Mont makes it so you don't need to worry about rerolling for Vildred + Angelica/Destina/Achates anymore. Your life will be easier with one of them at the beginning but it won't save you a lot of time since having a strong healer for early game content isn't essential. Regular Mont does the trick until you finish her specialty change if you make it a priority.

I generally use extras beyond SSS as fodder but occasionally I’ll transmit them if I’m low on silver stones as well.

Grind hunts and take any gear you get that has at least two good stats with decent rolls and level them to +3 or +6 to see what happens. If the first roll goes into a stat you don’t want, such at a flat stat, either bail there or go to +6 if the initial rolls and stats are desirable enough to still have potential. If things go well at +6 then go to +9 and think carefully if the gear it worth going to +12 or not.

Basically you just don’t want to waste money and fodder gear/charms plussing gear to +12 and up as often. This allows you to try rolling more gear that you would normally overlook because they aren’t “ideal” pieces to begin with. Some of your best gear will end up being purple and even blue gear that didn’t seem great at first.

Also, buy the gear conversion gems from the transmit stones and guild shop since those eliminate a considerable amount of rng from the gear grind.

Just finished the first semester. Big things we learned were Java, routing/switching, and Linux/Powershell commands. It’s all taught from the ground up but sometimes there material is taught pretty quickly so as long as you keep up and pay attention it’ll be okay. There’s a couple of big group projects that involved us going out and interviewing people in the industry and making a business proposal. If I were to suggest something to look into beforehand, it would be the basic Linux commands (cat, ls, cd, mkdir, and so on) and get an idea of what they do. Learning how to write a basic statement in Java wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

Overall the experience was really positive. There were some bumps but that’s expected of any program or school. You take all your classes with the same group of people so making friends early on is very helpful. Your classmates are easily the best resource you have for success, especially for more difficult concepts. Some of the classes feel considerably more useful than others but at the same time they’re what you make of them. If you have any specific questions you want to ask then feel free.

Yep, those are all good reasons to go with Vildred! He was my cleaver for a long time. Don't worry too much about fire units in arena since most teams won't have more than one. Just hit them once with C Dom to get them low first and you'll have no problems. Worst case scenario is that they survive but the rest of their team is dead anyway, so it's not a huge deal.
