Dumb question but anyways.....

[Mr J]

Did testing today for 10 hours!!! (lol, I only work 25 hours a week) Its a little similar to an already posted method of mine. Betting on 2 numbers with progression. QUESTION: Would you consider "good" or less risky? (not sure how to word it) 150 spins for ONE of the numbers to hit? Which would actually be 300 divided by 38 is 7.9, I think 7.9 is GREAT! ...... no tracking of numbers, no sleepers (sort of), and no using past numbers. Yes, the progression is high but it has to be because we are only betting one of every three spins. Boring as HECK but oh well. So.....7.9? Good? Impressive? Feel comfortable? I am NOT saying I'm right, I am asking for an opinion.  Ken

Its all a crapshoot. I saw 2 pockets (0,00) sleep last week for 230 spins. It can happen to any 2 pockets at any time.

[Mr J]

Yeah, I know Spike but then we're back to that "anything can happen" deal. Do you feel comfortable....... 150 spins, TWO numbers?  Ken

[Spike]

No, I would never play that way because I know I'm going to get screwed back to back eventually. Its suicide.

[Shorty]

I would not feel comfortable playing that way. You know you will go bust sooner or later, too much stress for the way I like to play.

[pins]

enlighten me. what method would you use that would be safer. if i was to take up roulette full time.  mr j system is the one i would use,

[Shorty]

A flat betting method that gives you an edge... I'm sure Spike would agree.

[Tangram]

Probability is 99.98% that you'll get at least one hit (single zero), but I wouldn't use a marty (1 win recovers all losses and makes a profit). Far too stressful.

I would play the ECs flat-betting or with a mild progression.

Well i still don't grasp it why not some one would not learn how to predict wish half the ball will hit on the wheel layout.
Then measure scattering behavior "how the ball bounce" then exploit an sector for bias "if there is one" depending on rotor speed and ball type.

Now lets assume you find an sector with 5 pockets hitting an SD of 4.5.
Then there would be an reason why some one would aim for two numbers based upon math and probability.

That is what an advantage is about and that is how some one find an edge.
Any-thing else is just an random flow and you can get lucky or unlucky.

i know that numbers sleep for a long time. but how likely are you to pick the sleeping numbers. most numbers will play.
i think the odds would be in your favour.

[Mr J]

@pins >> You hit the fu**in nail on the fu**in head! >> "how likely are you to pick the sleeping numbers."...... This method and my other one regarding betting 2 numbers in a street etc. What are the odds that I'm PICKING the 2 furthest back numbers from the start? Thats quite a talent if someone can do that. EXAMPLE: (I'll use random.org) Here is a challenge for anyone....... I will get numbers one at a time and start crossing off. Before I start, YOU tell me which 2 will be the LAST 2 crossed off. Any takers on my challenge? Ken

[Spike]

You rather miss the point. They play until they don't. And one day they won't. Tomorrow?

Just use your imagination:
if it is possible that a single number sleeps for over 600 spins, and there is no way to catch that in a progression,

then

two numbers (any) can sleep for at least 400 spins and you won´t catch them in a progression.

ok, as long as you are winning it is ok. But if you get into a losing streak, be sure not to bet more money than you have won before.

PS: show me a progression with 2 numbers that helps you to catch the first hit at spin 150

... how likely are you to pick the sleeping numbers. most numbers will play.

Valid point.

I sometimes play the streets with a progression. The method is designed not so much to pick a winning street, but to dodge any possible sleeping street, because most streets will show.

Once you know the averages of your particular bet type, you can go about designing a strategy to dodge a sleeping street (or whatever) then employ a progression to extend the likelihood of dodging the sleeper for as long as mathematically possible (well not quite, you need to find the sweet spot between the absolute longest and the absolute best profit for the averages... there's always a sweet spot).

If you must employ an up as you lose progression, then I think Mr j is on the right track.

That said, there is a saying that goes... "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

[Mr J]

I'll give an example and answer this..... I use to cross everything off except the last two numbers (sometimes I would do the one number method) then start progression on those 2. Get a win, keep the other not crossed off yet and search back at everything written down and locate the NEXT furthest back unhit, start over etc. I did have some very GOOD days doing that but the losses caught up, I kicked that method to the side and never played it again. *NOW*, I'll still use a 2 number progression, picking 2 numbers that have not hit in a long time (2-3 different methods) BUT are NOT the 2 furthest back and I get much BETTER results. Coincidence?    Ken
