Thought I had a good roulette strategy - (I'm an idiot)

the fact that casino owners are driving round in mercs, porches and ferarris while the punters are looking down the back of the sofa for their next kebab change should sum up a persons chances of coming out on top.

As I always say in these threads, there is no such thing as a strategy for roulette on a properly maintained and set up roulette table (other than cheating, but that doesn't count)

However, if you spot a badly maintained table, especially if it isn't level, then thats a whole different board game. There was a case a while back of someone finding a badly maintained roulette table and he recorded its results for ~5000 spins and noticed that two r three numbers came up a statistically significant amount more than the other numbers. a few days later of betting on those numbers and he was making a decent amount of money... and promptly got kicked out of the casino :p

Haha, just that.
The moment you stand a chance, or can play it so well, you'll have a hand under your arm and push out the door.

There is no such thing over the long term. Which ever strategy you use, you will always achieve a 2.7% (European table or worse 5.26% on a US Table) loss with an infinite number of spins.

What are you doing spinning a blackjack table? :p
 
Once a month I go into the bookies to play the roulette machine with £80 a few times I have walked out within 10mins of walking in with nothing and on quite a few other times I have walked out with over £500 in my pocket
 
What you want to do, is bet on red, if you loose, double your bet next time and stay on red. eventually you'll win one, and then you start again

Maybe it was just luck then, but most times I doubled my money, several times I had my trip paid for with left overs.

unless you were counting cards, are able to shuffle track and/or had a bad dealer and were able to see her cards then yes it was luck
 
Plenty of people make money from gambling, fortunately those people are usually quite clever and clued up on how to do so or extremely lucky. If you're throwing money at these roulette "strategies" then unfortunately you are stupid or just don't care about losing it which again is probably linked to stupidity.

Having a roulette strategy is akin to having a lottery strategy. Both are games of pure chance.

Strong first post, BTW.

Not strictly true roulette is rigged chance so you'll always lose eventually.

But you can win by using technology and a physical table and not technically interfere with thw game. But the casino will ban you 3 venue if they can't take the money back

The key thing these people do is play games against other people and not play games of chance
 
You'd think by now there would be enough negative feedback regarding the Martingale technique for people to at least do some further reading before attempting it.

If you're looking to maximise performance in a casino anything other than basic strategy with a bit of card counting is not going to work for you. Even then you might not beat the edge.

Failing that you need to take the house out of the equation, poker for instance.

There's also things like Facebook Poker which is just nonsense compared to real games.

Poker is poker, the difference is only in the players, if you play low stakes it is pretty much the same as free, people randomly go all in, play extremely loose etc.

To play poker you need to be in the following mindset

1) you have AA and call other guys all in who has KK

2) The cards roll out and he hits a K and you loose.

3) Each of you had £50 in the pot (assuming no rake to simplify)

result = return of £81, profit = £31

But yea OP has gambling problem

It really isn't. FB poker is nonsense, if you have played it, you will know.

P.S. It's 'lose' NOT 'loose'!
