Is it possible to place a bet after the roulette wheel has been unwound and the ball has been thrown into it? What's the use of this analysis?

You can, but they are stopped before the ball hits the deflector, so it is of no use to the player.

Holy crap!? You can tell you've never played in a casino. Although, different casinos may have different rules for taking bets. I remember before, when casinos weren't banned, me and my friends used to hang out there. Sometimes bets managed to do, when the ball had already flown through most of its movement and was about to fall in any sector. And the players kept betting and betting, the croupiers would say: "Gentlemen, bets are off", but they just kept betting and betting, the parasites. But the croupiers always looked on indulgently and only at the very end of the ball movement did their requests become insistent.

I have. I went to see if I was a gambler.
 
PapaYozh:
Gambling. I went for fun to see if I was a gambler.

How was it?

It's okay. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not gambling.
 
PapaYozh:
It's all right. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not gambling.

Nah, you can't check it like that. I'm basically a gambler. Basically means I don't get my head blown off, but I play, quite happily, especially if I win.

I'll have to test it with poker.

I don't feel any excitement at roulette. Mostly I played for the dorm drinks and snacks. But poker is another matter. When I first got acquainted with it, I was in indescribable rapture. This game really hooked me. Several times I've been to traders' parties and noticed that they often end up in poker tournaments. And this is correct. Poker and trading seem to have some common background, and probably you cannot be a trader and not like poker.

Well, that's the thing - there's no excitement at all about roulette. And that's no indication of a lack of excitement at all.
 

Friday's brain relaxation exercise =)


There are 50 polygons (arbitrary) on each side of a sheet of paper (A4). All of them have the same area. Prove that it is possible to stick 50 needles into the sheet of paper so that each polygon has exactly one needle

If there are no inscribed polygons, there is nothing to prove, because in that case it is necessary and sufficient just to pierce every polygon in those places where it does not intersect with others. If there are inscribed polygons, prove it or not, but it does not work.
