I wrote the following short script but got the following error
LUA ERROR!!
'then' expected, got '='

Can someone fix this for me? I'm not a programmer and have zero experience LOL. Can't seems to find the problem?

The script basically bets with a 60% chance and double the bet on a lost but place the same amount bet after a win and after 7 losses in a row change the chance to 70%. It is also supposed to change the chance back to 60% after a double win on 70%

Thank you, I'll appreciate any help

This is the script I am trying to write;

bethigh = true
chance = 60
base = 0.00000002
nextbet = base
winafterloss = 0

function dobet()
   
if win then
   if previousbet > base then winafterloss = 1
   if winafterloss = 1 then nextbet = previousbet
   if winafterloss = 0 then nextbet = base
   if nextbet = base then chance = 60
else
   winafterloss = 0
   nextbet = previousbet * 2
   if currentstreak > -7 then chance = 70
   if currentstreak > -7 then nextbet = previousbet * 2.5
  end
end

Have you worked through the tutorials on https://forum.seuntjie.com/index.php?topic=2.0? Specifically the steemit ones?

In programming, we don't use = to check whether values are equal to each other, we use ==. A single equals sign is used to assign values, a double is to compare values.

So x=3 sets the value of x to 3. x==3 checks whether x is equal to 3

Also, every time you use an if, you MUST use an and afterwards.

if (conditions) then
your code
end

or

if (conditions) then
your code
else
your other code
end

Thank you Seuntjie
I  had some progress. Just need to figure out some finer detail
