User talk:DRY

Thanks for the fix to the Quasar page. I will try to add my stuff more carefully this time. :)

Damn. I was just about to move my finished text when I stopped to write you, and the damn web page expired. I just lost all of my work. Next time, I edit in Notepad and paste it in. Lesson learned for me. Thanks again for your help, though.

Still having problems editing Quasar page...
This time I sandbox'ed it, and even though I added my code at the end of the section, the original table shows as code instead of the graphical representation of the table (it screws up the look of the page). Here is what I want to insert:

Actually, you should be using "1-8" for 15. Using the "4-7" button will give you a 50-50 chance of winning or losing, but that's not the best odds.

Breakdown using "1-8" button:

1 (16): Roll Again (doesn't count: neither a win nor a loss)

2 (17): Break Even

3 (18): Win

4 (19): Win

5 (20): Win

6 (21): Loss

7 (22): Loss

8 (23): Loss

1, 1 (17): Break Even

1, 2 (18): Win

1, 3 (19): Win

1, 4 (20): Win

1, 5 (21): Loss

1, 6 (22): Loss

1, 7 (23): Loss

1, 8 (24): Loss

Results (15 Outcomes):

Wins: 6 (40.00%)

Break Evens: 2 (13.33%)

Losses: 7 (46.67%)

Non-Loss to Loss Ratio: 53.33 to 46.67

The ratio 53.33 to 46.67 is better than the ratio 50.00 to 50.00. While you may not win as much, you *will* lose less, which gains you more in the long run. For each loss, you have to risk losing again to get back to where you started, so lowering the losing percentage is just as important as increasing the winning percentage.

That's all, nothing fancy. I tried removing the dashes (which turned into a horizontal bar), but that didn't work either. Any ideas as to why?

Thanks in advance.
