You might want to enter "Martingale" into the FISO search form ;)

Brilliant we are rich! :D Wonder why no-one ever thought of it before?

Now all i need is several billion pounds just incase it goes a bit tits up and i get unlucky. I have worked out 10 losing spins in a row and i need to bet £1000 on the next spin. Not too bad. After that im shitting my pants.

If i get really unlucky and lose 20 in row my 21st bet is just over £1,000,000 and i am already down £1m. To win £1.

As canary says this strategy falls flat on its face if you have a long losing streak.

It is a long term losing proposition anyway as your are only getting even money on red or black and the casino has a green 0 number and sometimes a green 00 number as well.

For an alternative that's an improvement but probably still flawed you could go £1 on black.Each time it loses then £1 on opposite colour as previously spun.If it wins then £1 on black(same colour as previously spun be it red or black).If that wins again then £1.50 on black.If that wins then £1.50 on black.If that wins then £2.50 on black and so on.The staking plan is not necessarrily this but would be fairly similar.If there's success then the £1 start can be increased.No doubt it may go into a reverse from success if over prolonged so a target each time can be set where you stop for the time being and start again at another time.Probably flawed as when I tried it it did go a fair way into profit and reversed but no target was set then.Probably rubbish but a viable alternative to martingale.Best not to use real money at first when testing it.

Won a packet years ago on my first visit to a casino in Australia, doubling up { moving from table to table missing some spins out } then lost a packet doubling up in Monte Carlo {14 consecutive 'blacks'}, i dont know what the sequence of blacks ended up at as i left having lost my gambling money at that stage.
You would be better off playing pontoon and card counting.

How about getting a blindfolded monkey to put the bets on for you? You've got the exact same chance of winning as with any system you can come up with :wink:

0.07425% which is simply ( 18 / (36+1) ) ^ 10 for Red or Black

Or...

2.08 x 10 ^ -16 if you fancy 10 zero's in a row (on a UK table) which is ( 1 / 37 ) ^ 10

So total odds (probability) of hitting same colour 10 times in a row, from scratch is 0.1485%

Of course the £1 red/black bet wouldn't work in the UK as (so far as I am aware) it's minimum £5 on the outside. :wink:

Every single is spin is random.

So even after 12334903294 reds in a row, the odds for red coming out again would be 47% (taking into account the green 0)

You could go with a stratey of starting with £20, and betting on black every single spin.. each time you lose, double up

Not one to throw a cat amongst the pigeons, but I remember a story where some guys analysed the bias in the roulette wheels themselves and managed to come out ahead by betting on a sector of the wheel. This is the only way in which one can ever beat the wheel.

And the flip side of it is that the casino staff are often a dab hand at spinning the ball and landing it where they want it to land.

Winning at roulette is easy.

Just get yourself a speed gun and stand on a motorway bridge estimating how fast the cars are going till you get good at it.

Then visit a squash court and practice estimating where the ball will end up after its bounced off a few walls.

Armed with this knowledge you should easily be able to predict which number the roulette ball will land on 90% of the time.

Well, according to Derren Brown anyway... :roll:

I tried the doubling system in Vegas about 10 years ago. Had a few hundred dollars as stake and was betting $1 as starting bet. After about an hour had won about 10-15 dollars, whilst the woman next to me had about 50 dollars to start with and she was randomly just putting her chips down anywhere. After about 3 rolls she had won over a thousand.

My wife then says I should do that as she's bored watching me just win $1 at a time ( and sometimes waiting 3 or 4 spins to win that $1).

So we try it, we win a couple of hundred dollars and then she persuades me to pack it in, which I have since learned is the key to winning at roulette, walk away when you won something.

NO!

That sounds like cheating.

But what game/sport, it could be better than darts. Freida needs to land the 31....... the tension, the sweat, the tears. And a darn site better than SCD and X-F......
