( Lumberjack) there is a good system with roulette though, since the payoff is 36:1, and there are 36 posibilities, just put bets on 30, 1k each and the odds that you will comeout 6k richer are pretty good Roulette pays 35:1 on a 38:1 shot for all numbered tiles. There is no way to beat this game assuming the wheel is fair. If you place 30 $1 bets according to your system. You have a 30/38 or ~78% chance of being paid 35:1. When you are paid 35:1 you make exactly $5. This means over 100 average trials you will win $5 78 times and lose $30 22 times. $5*78 = $390 -$30x22=$660 =$270/100 = A loss of 2.7 units every time you place a spread 30 unit bet on single tiles. Roulette is not beatable. Please remember the ball/wheel has no memory. If it comes red 12 times in a row, there is still exactly a 47.368% it will come red the next spin.

Read about it in SI. that's because they had the non-entrophied algo which was also a broken shuffle this is like 1998 stuff and doesn't apply to modern online shuffles | ||

30 times x 35 the bet and you'd lose 37 times x 30 the bet (or 38 on an american roulette table). Not very hard to see that this loses money. Theoretically, you could make money with an infinite bankroll, assuming the maximum bet is also infinite. Bet $1, if you lose, bet $2, and continue to bet twice the amount. When you win, you start again betting $1. Eventually, you will always win $1 in total when your side (red or black) comes up. This would even work if you had smaller chances of winning, as long as you could continue to bet higher. But in reality, bankrolls and bets aren't infinite. Btw, there are players who have been making money off roulette, but they work differently. You might know Rob Hollink, winner of the EPT 2005 recently, also played blackjack and roulette for a living before (he's been a pro gambler for like 15 years or so). To beat roulette, he would count on the consistency of the roulette croupier who will always toss in the ball at similar speeds, and looks are the rotation of the wheel before it was spun to calculate the areas where the prizes are likely to fall (you only need to beat that 2% house advantage). He talked about this in one interview, where he said this technique was made harder all the time since croupiers started to spin the wheel at different speeds, and put in the ball differently as well. Still, the roulette kept him alive for a good while, although he's mostly into poker only now. | ||
