Better than a kick in the balls™ :handshake:
 
And we made like several dozen dollars on paper!

(I'm actually up about $500 thanks to bonuses.)

For those of you wondering why I even keep tracking full games, below is yet another coin flip simulation. 10,000 coin flips at a 52% winrate, 1% of the bankroll per play, which simulates a 4% edge. This specific run shows several losing streaks lasting several hundred, even over 1400 bets. There's a drop of about 40 units between bets # 4500 and 5900, yet total profit over the 10,000 bets is 560 units.

When dealing with a small edge, the variance is crazy.

This doesn't mean my full-game model isn't trash. It just means it's going to take a long while to get conclusive results.

Would be nice to go on a sustained winning streak like the one at the start there. +52 units over 350 bets.
