2. Create your own VC portfolio using vcportfolio and startup career using simulate_multiple.

• Reflection question: What did you learn about the payoff for a regular employee vs. an investor?
• Reflection question: Why are simulations important first modeling steps?

B. Determine if roulette wheels have patterns that a simulation can determine by running the following command

./roulette.py spin --count 10 --color red --bet 1

• Reflection question: Is it is wise to bet a large bet on red if you see the roulette wheel hit 10 black numbers in a row?
• Reflection question: Is there any behavior you could add to the roulette simulator that would improve it? If so do it and build a portfolio project that shows your enhancement.
