I'm just wondering if anyone here can earning a living by playing roulette full-time?
Kelly (Visual Ballistics), Herb (Bias), Kimo-li (Dealer signature).
Also, there is someone at the Spanish section I know makes a living out of the wheel, a strategy-player, using losing mechanical systems (he gave me one at the chat! "Victor, let me give you a losing system"... also he suggested the accompanying strategy). Just by reading the Spanish pages you'll know who he is!
It is like KFS said. Some players can win individually, but the systems used are still labelled losers. He is fully aware of this fact, but yet he uses cycles on those losing systems and cut-point methodology to average more won than lost at the end of the month.
It is worthy to mention too there are many consistent winners who albeit not having roulette as full-time income can qualify with treating the game with a professional approach.
Best regards,
Victor
I'm planning to quit my job when I turn 60 (in 7 years). Part of the plan is to make most of my money at Roulette. I will only have a very small pension.
Of course I must keep up my current winnings rate until then to be confident enough to do it.
Ron. :thumbsup:
Tks for your replies,I'm glad to hear that.I'm planing to quit my day-job when i have a "consist winining bet" :)
I have started playing not too long ago and things seem consistent for me. I'm using very slow and cautious strategy play for the moment but I'm also started studying bias, which I will be playing as soon as I become good at it.
My goal is to become a full-time pro in a year or two.
As for now, I'm putting all my time and effort into learning.
Best regards and good luck to you.

I dropped out of college to play roulette full-time. 8 hours a day. 5 days a week. with an average of $2,000k/week.

Hi mate,
I'm glad for you. :thumbsup:
I go to college as well. Although I do seriously consider the 'dropping out' option, I still prefer to play it safe.
By that I mean I have to prove to myself that I can make an acceptable consistent revenue over at least a year first, before making such a move.
I advise the same for you people. Be extremely careful with such decisions!
All the best,
Marven

Hello Mr. Bee,
Usually people takes this path after retiring.
As I see you are making good enough money I congratulate on your roulette success, not on your decision of dropping out, education always comes first.
As for anyone else trying to follow this example, please do as Marven says: you must first be 101% sure to be at the consistent winning side prior to even considering skipping one class to head to the casino.
Gambling already ruins many professional workers, let alone be the reason for people not getting a college degree! Well, it is a matter of self-realization, some people feel realized at the office and others feel realized at the table, by the wheel.
Remember Mr. Bee, I'm not against you taking this decision, I'm just voicing my views for those who may want to go towards this path. Each one's life is each one's life!
I just don't want to depict roulette as an easy way to riches or escape the job, gambling professionally is hard work too. Specially if you aren't using a mechanical-system approach.
Best regards and sustained success for you in your PRO player career!
p.s. May I ask if you are using a mechanical system OR a strategy demanding human-based decisions?
Victor

There you go f-rl-player, Mr. Bee is a full-time player!
The list is growing!
I turned full pro. player,but after I retired,and saved enough money to transact it into reality.Wouldnt advise it to anybody earlier, and under different conditions,as have seen/working as a croupier for 27yrs./many ruined familys,suicide cases,crime activites.......So if you want to turn a pro,learn now,save enough money,and decide later,matured.Cheers,iboba

Serious question. Don't you get bored out of your wits playing roulette 8 hours a day? People I've known who've played cards for a living say that boredom is the biggest problem, and some have packed up and returned to working for that very reason. I'd have thought that applied even more to roulette.
I'd love to be able to play full time (haven't yet seen any way I could do it sadly) but the maximum I think I could handle would be 4 hours a day, two hours in the morning and two in the evening, with a 15minute coffee break halfway through each session.
Kudos to you therefore in more ways than one.
Regards,
Rudy
How much do you suggest we save up?

LOL - nice. Although I didn't much care for the casinos when smoking was in full affect. Luckily, up here in Canada, smoking has been removed from the casino's. Being a poker player and spending 20+hours in the casino some days, that's a big deal to me.
And I agree with Marven... I love the casino atmosphere.

Hi f-ri-player,
If you have any skills that bring in revenue regulary my advice would be to keep doing that, and use roulette as a secondary income as a supplement to the revenue your skill brings in.So you would be semi- pro in roulette.In other words dont give up your day job.
Regards,
Ronjo.

Hi Marven,
To quote Mark Twain in Tom Sawyer
"Had Tom been a great and wise philosopher like the writer of this book, he would have realised that work consists of what a body is obliged to do, while play consists of what a body is not obliged to do"
Going to a casino when I want to and only when I want to, playing the games I want to, essentially for fun, knowing I may win, but will probably lose is one thing; committing to playing 40 hours a week in order to earn a living is my idea of Hell. Fortunately my job is rather more interesting (only marginally, mind you)
Having said that, that's not to say I'm not looking for the system that will allow me to do it for a living, just not for 40 hours a week, thanks.
To be fair, unlike most people here, I find roulette an incredibly boring game to play anyway, my interest in it is purely a fascination with the odds, and that possibility, however slight, of coming up with the magic system. If and when I do, and it works on an excel spreadsheet over hundreds and thousands of random spins, only then will I turn to live play.
Your post's had me thinking seriously about this you know, and I think if it came to a choice of making a living playing for 40 hours or playing for 20 hours and working part-time, I'd have to plump for the latter; even playing a demo online trying something out gets boring after an hour or so.
Regards,
Rudy
Fair enough Rudy. :)
I highly value your responsible/un-deluded thinking.
Many people give up they hardly-obtained jobs just to end up in tears in some casino parking lot after losing everything in one bad night and realizing that their system doesn't beat the game after all. Now what to do, and where to go from there?
All the best to you,
Marven
Yes, I didn't even consider playing at all until they got rid of the smoking. It's bad enough to run the gauntlet at the entrance or get beside someone with the stinky clothes.
Ron.
Marven
Unfortunately some of those people who loose it all are actually depending on God or the "gods" to save them. I actually met people at the race track who thought their horse would win if they could only bet enough on him to make him the favorite.
I'll never forget the guy I heard crying in the bathroom stall at Remington Park. Every gambler in the world should hear what I heard. You never forget it.
Sam
I have seen many pro players,mostly corteous,cool,concetrated,courageous...C.C.C.CHAPS,/real pro/---but also,on the contrary,those that scream,sob,swear.....S.S.S.CRABS,and when you see those sinking pipes on your table,just escape to another.Seen italian gay shooting his head through at the table/sitting next to me/and the bullet strike exact at number 13 at display board.Incredible.Cheers,iboba
:o :o :o
iboba?are you serius that a man shoot his head?is it true?
I saw a Faro table in (Geez, I can't remember the city!)..............
Anyway, about six men had owned it and each committed suicide over their losses to the players. (I'm not even sure that is right!)
I saw a Faro table somewhere in the US that was connected to a bunch of suicides. There!
Sam
In this same museum I spun a roulette wheel that was over 100 years old and it looked like the ones in casinos today. I hit number 18.

never before I heard of this! I am surprised! Thats awful! Money is money and if we talk about life, who cares about money?.. i cant believe it!!

The way I see it, going bust is not the real cause for these people killing themselves.
It's their own inner issues that they were too dumb/fearful/lazy/whatever to face and work out.
Putting all your money on a roulette table is already a sign that you got issues with yourself in the first place.
Every person is the creator of himself. Going bust at the table only brings such individuals face to face with themselves.
Suicide is the easy way out.
I can't respect that.
Regards,
Marven
So right Marven. Work should be your first income. Roulette should only played with money you can miss. Having enough money makes life more easy but should not be dominating your life.
Right on Marven
are you serious Mr Bee? and how long have you been doing that? :o

When one spent allmost 40 years in casino,constantly,inevitable experience many different sad stories,and Ikariaman,it is true that italian shoot himself,and allmost me,but lucky it hit at numb.13 on the board display,but whats more interesting,when authorities took him away,the casino continue to work,as if nothing happened.
Full time, no but part time, yes! Of course I'm not real sure of the exact definitions of this. Around 2-4 visits per week. One loss every 6 visits (average). I love the atmosphere of a casino. :-X Ken

Uh... You can't go broke?
After being laid off after working for the same company for 14 years, I got disgusted and decided to turn to roulette full time instead of using it to supplement my income like I had been doing before. As of 7 days ago, I have made $3283.00 playing roulette online 8-12 hours per day. So, I now consider myself a professional roulette player.
Is that net or gross? Ken

Lol yep, but how would you be a full-time professional in the first place if there is a chance to go broke.
No proven edge = no full-time professional.

Any gambler always has a chance to go broke, no matter how good or professional you are. That's why it's called gambling.
I disagree. :)
If you get an actual edge over the house using proven methods, you are not gambling. I.e. the more you play, the better.
Rpro75, I wish you luck in your venture.
