I have been really bored with nexus as of late and want to do something completely challenging, and the only thing I can think of is being able to uncover the algorythm used (through data analysis) to be able to repeatedly pick winners in the rabbit races. After hours upon hours of research I am certain a randomizer isn't used and instead a semi-complex log is used.
If you want to potentially make loads of nexus money, I ask that you help me with my research in posting your finds. When recording data longer cycles (6+ races) are more helpful.
What you need to list....
Make sure you only gamble/research at the Masan race tracks we need to limit our variables just incase different equations are used at different locations.
Rabbits who raced (include, name, color, and place finished)
Good luck, and thanks. I'll post my current findings shortly, it will take a while to convert them all from an excell document to forum a forum friendly post.

lol... its not hard to make money off the tracks at all
check this out, get 3 friends
5 rabbits race you have a 3/5 chance to win the payout is 4x the original bet so each time one of you wins, you split the 4x payout 3 ways you make money its simple math yes, Its after work, I'm tired, and not speaking in complete sentances but trust me, you can easily make 2mil a day, per person, just by doing that while doing hw, writing a term paper, playing xbox, watching tv, whatev...

QUOTE Uhh why wouldn't it be random? Using a random number generated by the server would be the easiest way for Nexon to have programmed the race tracks wouldn't it? It's obviously not completely random (as complete randomness is like impossible to obtain through programming) randomizers are based off of equations, and as you pointed out are not completely random.With a wide enough spread of data which could be 1,000+ samples an equation can easily be obtained. Leet, Hiro do you have your vast ammount of samples recorded? I'm fairly adept at math myself however I have been talking to a math professor at my university about the complexities of algorythmic logs used in randmoizers and he is providing me with 3 papers written by his friend that will provide a simple method for me to convert this data into its original equation.

Wish I could help in this. However if its anything like finding out the randomizer for casting spells with weapons, it should be semi easy to figure out. I mean if you really think about it, anything even concidered random in nexus is easy to crack and figure out.

QUOTE(PoeticTruth @ Aug 4 2006, 11:37 AM) [snapback]6174[/snapback] Reminds me of the Numb3rs TV show where people figured out the algorhythm of a casino card shuffler so they could find out what card it would deal next.
yeah I saw some guy figure out a lottery one once and he was stupid and immediatly won the lottery and ended up getting caught.

Fact of the matter is nothing in the world is completely random. Its all in a matter of how fast you can compile information and how well you can process it.
I mean even shooting craps isn't completely random. If you can compile the strength of the dice vs the rotation of the wrist as well as the hight and distance of the throw, add in the variables of hitting the walls or chips/money on the table.. In theory you can know what it will hit every single time. Can you actually monitor all this and see all the variables as well as process this before the dice stop rolling? Id guess hell no. However if it could be done, then you would know what the dice will land on making it not random. Again its all about information and how well its gathered and processed. Nothing in the world is random.

I have to argue with that. Everything in the world is probability. You can only "solve random," so to speak, with an infinite amount of time... Remember, in physics, as time goes forward, entropy increases. In your illustration, you can't ignore that there are subtle variables no matter what you try to keep constant, because you're not in control of the properties of the universe. In reality, you can get a good idea of what it might hit every time if you know some stuff about probability in mathematics. For instance, playing a good game of blackjack only requires a subtle and insanely quick ability to count cards and calculate the probability based on the cards in your hand. If you have an educated guess of whether to hit, stand, or fold, you're more likely to make money than you are if you cannot account for these variables. But you'll never be right ALL of the time. I argue that betting on the rabbit race is a matter of calculating probability, not solving an equation; much like stated by Sephyrson.

I got bored, and thought.. Why not just listen to people that've said it, and get 3 friends..
I pulled out a peice of paper
Each friend bids 100k, thats 4/5 chance to win, wich is very likely, 3 lose, 1 wins, the one that one gives them their money back, and 25% of the profit, so they all made 25k, 25k every 10 minutes, for 1 hour, 250k an hour, Do it for maybe, 8 hours straight, 2mill in an 8 hour day, for EACH person.
I'd say at 4/5, just get 3 friends..
<edit>And is it just me, or is it usually 2,3, and 4 that win the races in all the rabbit race tracks?
<2nd edit> I meant get 3 more friends, not just 3 friends, I just woke up >.>

I don't care about your forum but I'm lurking anyway.

Your math is totally off. First of all the maximum bet you can make is 99,999 but lets say it is 100k, if you win you only win 4 times the ammount you bet. Meaning you have 4/5 chance to BREAK EVEN... Rofl... not to mention you get the figure of 25k every 10 minutes and somehow the number of 250k for an hour... QUOTE And is it just me, or is it usually 2,3, and 4 that win the races in all the rabbit race tracks? In my latest logs of around 120 to 130 races (most of them are divided up every 6 to 9 races thats an hour to an hour and a half...) 1. 27, 2. 22, 3. 30, 4. 25, 5. 23 The higher the data sample the closer the final results would be, assuming of course that it's just based off of Rabbit placement.

One time I sat back and watched the races and sought what I thought was a pattern, 2,2,4,4,1,3,5,3,3,5,5,2,4,1 something like that, now it LOOKS like a pattern, possibly - but wasn't. Now - this is why gambling is so addicting and so chaotic at the same time. It is based on random equations. This is true, nothing can be 'completely random" but COMPLETE RANDOMNESS would take an infinite amount of space for numbers. And almost-complete randomness (what a computer can do) is still too much for us to solve.
Now, if each "randomness" in nexus is based off of the same RANDOM equation, then yes, if recorded from the FIRST randomness to the 10 millionth randomness, then you can look for the pattern of randomness that the rabbit races occurs in and look in the numbers you have recorded from something else, and find this. Thus, a pattern. However, you can not if it is completely random (meaning random numbers multiplying random numbers dividing random numbers, removing decimals, whatever)
Now, with all that mumbo jumbo aside, think about this. One time I was almost banished from merchant gambling because I kept ambushing the caster (the merchant) as soon as they'd say "flips coin" basically having MY spell be the last casted on them, and then they cast THEIR spell on me, hmmm... coincidence? I won 25/25 one time. Thus I was once rich, but it's all coincidence. Sit at a roulette table and try to guess the next color, you may be right for a while, but probability and product of elimination doesnt' work for this.
