anyone here is full-time roulette player?

[Rudy]

Hey Rudy.

I'd ask you what makes 8 hours in the office better than hanging in casinos?

Cheers,
Marven

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.

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.

iboba?are you serius that a man shoot his head?is it true?

[TwoCatSam]

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!

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!!

[Marven]

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.

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.

[The Spiders Kiss]

Right on Marven

[bobbybobby]

are you serious Mr Bee? and how long have you been doing that?   

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.

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.
