[vpFREE] Re: LVA Question of the Day - 21 APR 2011

Slight booboo. It states that: Scoblete recounts how Barney Vinson, Huntington Press author and long-time dealer at Caesars Palace, witnessed the number 7 come up six times in a row at Caesars' roulette wheel #211 on July 14, 2000. The odds of that happening are three billion to one.

They forgot the "first ones free" rule of probability. The Real chance is: 79,235,168 to one. Or a one in 80 million.

To be a one in 3 billion event, they would have had to state that they were trying to roll a seven before the first spin.
