First of all, I wasn't the one grasping for straws. You are the one that came up with this crazy scheme of some guy selling Pete tickets, So Pete can sell his book Five plus years later. Why would someone wait five years or more before proving themselves? Surely after the first year would be enough proof his system works. You're the one scraping the bottom of the barrel.
What publicity? If it wasn't for me to point this out, probably no one would even see the connections. So you're telling me Steve and peter have been waiting 5 years now, in the hopes of someone like me to come along and see the parallels, just so Steve can get publicity, and Peter to sell some book five years later. Yeah, that sounds like a successful plan to me. With the majority who have seen this being skeptics, with the exception of one person Stack, and maybe a few others who aren't weighing in on the subject, Steve and Pete may have to find another way to peddle their systems and books. Because If they believe this method is the best marketing plan, then they are truly idiots. Five years of shadowy behavior involving hundreds of thousands in transactions just to sell a handful of systems and books doesn't seem like a viable marketing ploy to me.
Like I said to another person here on LP. Just because you, I and the masses haven't figured it out does not mean the system doesn't exist.For anyone to think they've got it all figured out, only shows their ignorance, denial, and/or jealousy. And believe me, you wouldn't be the first person I've encountered with those attributes.
The math and probablity that you use to determine whether someone can make money regularly, isn't the best way in my opinion. Like I stated before, your simulations can't possibly account for every type of strategy in existence. There are too many variables including intuition, strategy, betting structure, betting scheduling, progressive wagering, system types, inside information, and on and on and on.
For you to say that you've come to the conclusion based on some computer algorithm's simulation is not only irresponsible, but silly at best. Are you sure you're not a Vulcan?
