Title: Labby Calculator
Post by: Bayes on Jan 20, 10:54 AM 2011
Another roulette toy to play with!  :)

This software generates a standard Labouchere progression, using a chip value and win target you select.

[attachimg=#]


Like all my software, it's not likely to win any awards for style or design, but I like to think it has a kind of inner beauty.  :D

Very simple to use; select a target and chip value, then record wins and losses by clicking the relevant buttons. Your next bet (stake) is shown in the green box, and is converted to a monetary value, using the chip value currently selected.

You can pick a Loss Limit - use the + and - buttons to raise or lower it. When your loss limit is hit the green field will turn red and you'll get a "No Bet" message. Note that you can continue to record wins and losses while in No Bet mode, but the balance, wins, losses, Total and "Labby String" fields won't be updated. The No Bet mode is cancelled on the next win.

The "Total" field keeps track of the sum of the figures in the Labby string, again converted to whatever unit is currently selected. e.g. if your string is 1,1,2,3,4 and you have selected 0.5 unit chips, the figure in the field will be 11 âÅ"• 0.5 = 5.5.

The Prefix 0 button puts one zero in front of the labby string on each click, so if your current string is 2,3,4 and you click "Prefix 0" twice, the result will be 0,0,2,3,4.  This is another safety feature; instead of betting the first and last figure of the string it means you'll only be betting the last.

Also, you can switch between different value units if things are getting out of hand. For example, if you're using very small units (say 0.1) and the string is getting long, you might want to convert the total deficit (which will be shown in the "Total") field to larger units so it can be cleared more quickly. Use the "Reset" button to clear all the fields and start afresh.

I had a good chuckle over that  ;D ;D

Thanks very much for this, Bayes.

Very nice tool Jules.  ;)

Hows that Submersible craft coming on,
for that Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea
u have been talking about for years?
Still on target Captain?

Thanks for the appreciation guys.  :)

I think, though, that it needs the capability to add more strings. That way it will be more flexible and allow for betting on chances other than evens. Also, maybe an option to go negative or positive.

I'll put some thought into the design of a truly "universal" labby calculator.

Hi bayes,

Thanks for your tool.


I know nothing about coding but is it possible to adapt this tool to the modified labby that we use in "beating roulette with math" ??

I think It will need these options :

1/ add more zero's
2/ divide number of figures to add to the Labby ( divide into 2, 3 or 4 figures )
3/ share the figures into equal figures i.e   0,0,0,1,1,2,3,3,4,5=19 -> 0,0,0,2,2,3,3,3,3,3=19
4/ divide a labby into 2 equal labby's ( in order to bet on another even chance)

In other words the program would be very flexible.

I hope you will understand me. :)

thank you

Hi aleks,

1/: You can already do it; there is no limit to the number of zeros you can add at any point in play. Just click the "Prefix 0" button to add a zero.

2/: Not quite sure what you mean here. Can you give me an example?

3/: Yes, this was on the agenda.  :thumbsup:

4?: Again, I had planned on doing this (in fact adding multiple labbys) to the next release.

Post by: aleks06 on Jan 23, 03:40 AM 2011
2/ Let's say you first bet is 15 you lose then you bet 30 so you lost 45. You can divide 45 into 22 + 23 ( 2 figures ) or 15,15,15 ( 3 figures ).
Title: Re: Labby Calculator
Post by: Bayes on Jan 23, 04:13 AM 2011
Ok, no problem. That can be generalised to "Divide the sum of the last X figures in the labby by Z". If I do this, then 3/ can be scrapped, since it's already taken care of if X is the total number of figures in the labby string.
Title: Re: Labby Calculator
Post by: Bayes on Jan 27, 05:58 AM 2011
Ok, I've added a "Split" button which when clicked, distributes the total loss (sum of the figures in the string) equally over the string.

[attachimg=#]

So for example, suppose your current string is 2,3,4,5,6,7,9. Your next bet should be 11 units (2 + 9) but you don't want to bet more than 10 units. Clicking the "Split" button  results in 6,5,5,5,5,5,5
which is the same number of figures in the string but with the figures "equalised".  However, this doesn't help because the next bet is still 11 units. Now click "Prefix 0" which then gives 0,6,5,5,5,5,5,5. You can either bet the indicated 5 units, OR click the "Split" button again, resulting in 5,5,5,5,4,4,4,4. Your next bet is now only 9 units, but of course the trade-off is that the length of the string has increased by 1.

You can repeat this process anytime the stakes become too high for comfort.

Hi can you make it such that we can edit our own loss limit? it will be helpful if we want a high loss limit instead of clicking the +. Thanks!

have you planned to add the option "bet on another even chance" ?

Hi weddings,

I deliberately coded it that way to keep things simple. It's surprising how much complexity and potential for error arises when the user has the option to enter their own data. I intended this version to be for EC bets so thought that somewhere between 1 and 10 would be sufficient as a loss limit, but obviously if you're using it for single numbers it won't be.

I decided against it - I'll leave that to a future version which allow for betting any groups of numbers.

Personally I wouldn't advise betting on more than 1 EC at a time, but if you're really desperate you can always fire up a second instance of the program.  ;)

Mate!

This works wonders! Thank you for taking the time to code this and helping the comunity, very usefull and helpful.

The only thing i would suggest is the option to manually put the chip amount to be used to play, since it changes from casino to casino, aside from that, for the even chances, the Win Target I see its perfect..

Also the split thing, I particulary do not like it very much, since when betting even chances I think not good idea for a labby to be very extended.. anyways, thats just me..

Keep it up mate, lets all make money with this  ;D

Post by: Bayes on Jan 28, 03:01 AM 2011
Hi yrt00,

I would prefer to provide a clickable list rather than an editable field, most casinos have standard chip values and would be a subset of the following:

0.01
0.02
0.05
0.1
0.2
0.5
1
2
5
10
20
25
50
100
200

Feel free to add any others values you think might be available. I know it might seem to be less work to have a single edit field, but the structure of the program makes it easier to use a list and also I won't need to add code to catch invalid input. Hope this is ok.

Guys,

Something odd has happen to me twice.. am playing 0.20 cents as basic chip, i aim to make 10 units per session (2.00 usd) yesterday i ended with 0.20 cents less.. and today i started with 214 usd BR and after session ended i was 214.20  :o

I was thinking maybe I made a mistake, although I am carefully following the labby calc.. but it might as well be that the labby calc at some point of the progression using 0.20 cents as chips has some bug and its not calculating correctly...

Has it happen to some of you or is it just me? or maybe the casino not paying correctly?

I went to the betting history following it with the labby calc, and at some point there are some wagers incorrectly done by me unless if been cheated by casino, but for me i did everything as the calc said , strange..

Anyone happen something similar with the calc?

thx

I checked the code and can't find any bugs, although it doesn't mean there aren't any.  ;)

Anyway, here is the new version with the added chip values -

[attachimg=#]

It could be that if there was bug it's been fixed with this new version. Give it a try and if you're still getting the same problem let me know.

Hey Bayes.

How can we use this for plain numbers?

lets say.. 3 numbers bet.
Title: Re: Labby Calculator

Whatever you like Ophis. Just keep adding zeros or splitting if the stakes get too high.  :thumbsup:

Hello Bayes,
I am having some trouble using your calculator on 1 computer. I cannot figure out the problem.

This is the error I get:

... called from /home/jules/euphoria/code/labby2.exw:142 in procedure reset()

Global & Local Variables

Any help would be appreciated!
