The various forms of greed.

Bliss,

Thanks for the support.  (And Lohnro also).  I am relatively new to this forum, although I have been looking at it from time to time for the past two years. (VIP).
Everybody has the right to have his own opinion, otherwise it would not be very much fun. 
Having said that I have repeated over and over again that I have tested hundreds of systems involving entrance and exit points.  None of them show a profit OVER A LONG PERIOD.  Most of them show excellent profit over a SHORT period.  That is the chore of the problem: when to jump in and when to jump out?  To my humble opinion, there is no answer to that.  This is random.  Period. Trying to "time" entrance and exit points is just relying on luck.

Same goes for progressions.  But there again I am repeating what I have said a good ten times already. 

All this blur the Big Picture.  What you really want to know is: can I play one or several numbers in full or otherwise with a positive expectation?  If the answer is yes, you go and play as long as you can respecting some sort of money management, so, in case of a bad run, you don't loose your entire BR.  If the answer is no, then just stay on the sideline.

Mr. Chips,

It depends on the frequency of bets and the number of different layouts.
Ex.  If you bet one number once every twenty spins, you need to test this at least 500  000 spins to have any idea.
If you bet that same number every spin, well, divide by 20.

If you bet 24 numbers every spin, probably 20 000 spins will give you a good indication...

This is all an approximation.  I have not made exact calculations on this.  But I think you get the idea.

Twocat,

Don't worry about your 401.  The Dow will be at 14 000 within three years.

My RRSP is not looking very good, either.

Doing better at roulette (so far).
