Glad you all tried a little experiment on my theory, Do I get a prize now my theory has been proved correct? or do I get nothing as I was the first one to react to the original post lol.

Scientifically speaking we haven't proved your theory. The approach that we took was only to find one example that agreed with your theory. This method can generally only be used to disprove a theory, i.e. by finding an instance where the results don't match those predicted by the theory. We would need to see the alogorithm that SkyPoker uses in order to prove your theory. :-)

Ahhh - So it didn't disprove the theory, but also didn't prove it.
Technically, what science deals with are hypotheses. A theory is a hypothesis which has been well supported by experiments. However, hypotheses, and even theories, are most always considered to be tentative. That is, it is always allowed that some valid experiment could show that the hypotheses is incorrect, either wholly or in part (referred to as falsifiability), so that it must be rejected or modified. So in science, absolute proof is usually impossible. Essentially it would require proving a universal negative: this hypothesis does not fail under any circumstance. And as they say, to prove a universal negative requires universal knowledge. A hypothesis which is not "falsifiable" is not generally considered to be scientific. That's not the same as being untrue; there might be any number of truths which are all the same beyond the reach of science.

That's "all good".
However, in my branch of science (i.e. mathematics) there are many theories that are proved and there are many different methods of proving those theories.

So mathematically speaking, if we were to try the experiment 10 times using the same players and the same cards and the results were conclusively the same, would this theory then be mathematically correct?

Definitely not. However, we could give you books full of explanation of how likely it was that the theory was correct.
well i think this is cheating based on collusion and if bland 88 put a complaint in about fixing a result, you should all be banned!!!! p.s if you need another play for this experiment let me know coz intrested in outcome lol

bland88 was guaranteed to make 25p from this "experiment" so I doubt that he'll be complaining! Mind you, I know of at least one regular poster on here who would still complain. ;-)
You're welcome to join in further experiments but I must warn you that the pay is poor; on the other hand, obviously, you do get a warm glow of satisfaction from being a part of the movement to expand mankind's knowledge. If we manage to get government funding then life will be perfect.

I think the person who first postulated the query should get the prize
