Reply to comment by WraithCadmus in Roulette simulation: 10'000 players each betting 5'000 times (74% chance of having a negative return ) [OC] by nautilus_red

I'm WAY too dumb to get this joke, but I'm a sucker for a flawless delivery :D

There is a "Monte Carlo simulation" used to model stochastic processes but there is also a casino called Monte Carlo. The joke is perfect because Roulette is played in a casino and I modeled a stochastic process.

The simulation method was named after the casino. Full circle!

I was missing the simulation data, now it makes perfect sense! I stand by my award, thank you for clarifying!

Haha the joke is pure quality, I needed to make sure everybody understands that one. Thanks!

I work in engineering, and compared to stuff like CFD or FEA, Monte Carlo is fun to write. It also lets you do some really fun visuals.
