Hi all,
So I'm doing the famous (or infamous) Labouchere system simulations in R. I have a function that stops when either the cycle (i.e., 10 - 10 - 10 - 10) is completed OR when you run out of money in you bank(mval). The function works and stops when a cycle is complete but the second part (&& bet < mval) is not working how I wanted it to. It stops the function when a given bet (first number + last number) exceeds the mval. I want this instead to stop when the total amount lost reaches the mval
For example:
When running labouchere(mval = 300) I want 300 to represent the total amount in the bank willing to lose, but this only stops when a specific bet reaches 300. I'm trying to make it stop when the accumulative losses reaches 300.
Thank you so much for responding!! I just want to confirm what the new variable, cbet, is actually doing. Is it adding every single bet placed regardless of the outcome and then stops when it reaches the maximal amount we give (mval)? Or is it adjusting the amount left in the "bank" based on wins/loses and stopping when cbet reaches that maximal amount we give.
It appears that it is adding every single bet placed regardless of the outcome and stops when either the cycle ends or when it reaches the maximal amount.
Is there a way that it can monitor the total amount lost and stop at that value? For example:
labouchere(mval = 300) # Runs the function with 300dollars in the bank
First bet = $20 (10+10) and is a loss 280 left
Next bet = $30 (10 + 20) and is a loss 250 left
Next bet = $40 (10 + 30) and is a win 290 left
......... Continues until either the original cycle (10-10-10-10-10) is completed OR there is 0 money left.
I hope I explained that correctly and that it makes sense.
Thank you again!
