How Did You Get Intrested in Roulette? Whats Your Story.

[Spike!]

I was sitting in a casino waiting for my wife to get done playing slots. I was at a vacant roulette table and was watching the marquee of another wheel. I had never played roulette in my life and I assumed it was like BJ, where you study the discarded cards or spins and figure out your bet. So I was doing it in my head on R/B and after an hour, I was ahead by 15 units. Wow, I thought, that was easy. Everybody must be doing this.

Wrong. It turns out not only is nobody doing it, it makes people froth at the mouth to even talk about it. So like an innocent chump, I kept playing it at home and got real good at it. Thats my story in a nutshell..

I always liked numbers and puzzles...

So when I got 12 years, I saw a cousin of mine playing roulette for fun and he told me: "Never play this, it's a impossible game to win", but in my innocent age I got interested by it
So I start learning more, looking for easy money at the begin, after a while I realized it would never be easy money and I started thinking it as one more puzzle for me to solve...
And years passed by, and the puzzle is still for solve 

Probably I will never found that missing part of it, still it keeps my interest

Nice thread.

I never stepped into a casino and always considered casino gambling as a form of entertainment designed for suckers.

I then watched the poker movie "Rounders" and while it didn't get me into poker, it got me interested and intrigued by this so called "professional gambling" as a whole. That's where it all started. I did some research and stumbled upon some info on Ed. Thorp and his work and I found it fascinating. I then found this roulette betting system in some website...

A few days later I played my first martingale. I lost my BR not long after and realized what a mistake that was. I spent about 1 year researching and testing mechanical roulette systems/strategies in the unrewarding search for THE system. The following chapter in my roulette journey would be ditching system play and spending about 1 year with non-mechanical approaches and what some refer to as "educated guessing" (while simultaneously cultivating an interest in AP). That chapter too had to end, and I finally turned to AP and currency trading.

I guess this is as good a testimony as any that some smart people just can't do educated guessing.

"I spent about 1 year researching and testing mechanical roulette systems/strategies in the unrewarding search for THE system" >>> Yep, a year. That sounds correct for the average before giving up. As God is my witness, that is not an insult. It just makes me look more right. 'They' try for a short time and then say f**k it. All thats left is WAITING for someone to post a good method, never playing again or wild claims of "AP (cough) saved my life and marriage".  Ken

Will take that as a compliment.

Ow, someone is a bit bitter.

That progression of yours crashed again Ken? Try not to drink too much.

[Mr J]

Bitter? After your comment of 'giving up' after ONLY one year, I'm lovin it. I have always guessed that most (not all) give up after a short period of time. Try creating/testing methods (your own) for YEARS, 30 hours a week. Thats 30 of non-betting, at home research, NOT counting when you actually start betting at a REAL casino. Ken

[Noble Savage]

Wow! That must be it. Spending my life creating/testing roulette systems.

Do you realize how pathetic you sound?

FYI, I tested way more systems I created than ones I've collected, and I've collected MANY. It takes me 2 days max to code and test a system over hundreds of thousands of spins (if not more).

PS. As always, you keep making yourself seem pretty insecure/jealous as far as roulette Advantage Play is concerned. Get over it?

Leave this nice thread and go start another thread about casino hookers.

@Noble Sewage >> Dont get pissed at others because you FAILED at this game. You have no one to blame except yourself. You're a quitter and a bullshitter and we ALL know that.    Ken

[Noble Savage]

Dont get pissed at others because you FAILED at this game.

Ah, so because I realized what a joke system-play is and moved on, that means I failed at this game? It's like how Spike/Gizmo think that just because one of us doesn't make millions with their "educated guessing", he must be a failure. Very well then, you win. Enjoy your one dimensional existence. As for me, it's the truth of this game I seek, not ego.

I saw different dimensions, and traveled to them. I like what that taught me, and where it lead me.

[Mr J]

We agree on one thing. We both seek the truth and AP (cough) is not it. Not today, not now. I am not saying you can not find a 'tilted' wheel out of 400 but I'm not about to go lookin. And DS?    Ken

[Noble Savage]

Okay. So based on your vast experience with wheel tilt in modern casinos:

1) What is the average number of tilted wheels, and the average number semi-tilted wheels? (1 in 400 assures me that you have zero real world experience with all of this)

2) What is the angle of tilt required so that a wheel shows a dominant drop? (yes, it's a very small one)

3) How difficult is it for a casino owner to maintain all wheels perfectly level at all times without setting up dedicated tilt-detection hardware on every wheel? How needed/practical that is considering the very low number of REAL vb players (out of all players)?

[Mr J]

This is what you are doing and I dont fault you for it. You are thinking in terms of THEORY....on paper 'what ifs', thats all. I said it before.....if I visited ANY of the AP (cough) guys for 10 days and followed them around etc. What would I see? Average win/loss days at the casino. Rotor speed, tilted wheels, release point..... It sounds COOL, thats all. Ken

[Mr J]

Staying on the thread subject.....why/how did I get started? I knew that roulette had high payouts and the other players could not affect my play. Its different with cards and perhaps dice. With roulette, other bets will not determine if I win or lose or where the ball lands etc. Before we had roulette in my town, I would drive almost two hours to the nearest casino. I started out with a marty....then different outside bets......fewer and fewer numbers bet. I'm now comfortable with playing 1-4 numbers. It was all trial and error and I lost a TON. lol I know that three years from now, my BRs will last longer and through trial and error, I'll know more about the game compared to now. I said it before, if you play this game year after year after year and you are no more ahead then when you first started, STOP playing, you have learned nothing. Learn from mistakes, I did.  Ken

Most of the smart people who try to beat roulette start with the assumption they can't do it, becuase they have a math background that tells them its hopeless. So all they really do is prove to themselves that it is hopeless. What a glorious achievement. Congratulations. Enjoy AP. Just realize that some of us are capable of thinking outside the box and we aren't tied down to erroneous conclusions that we were taught by ohers who didn't know what they were doing either.
