The right question to ask is can you win without any THEORETICAL advantage playing 1000000 perfectly random trials ?
Answer : No.
Can a person playing this game be ahead at the end of his life ?
Answer : [highlight]Yes[/highlight].
Excellent one Arty.
"to beat the game" vs "making money with roulette". we need a good theoretical discussion on this [smiley=wink.gif]
Here another question:
What means "to be ahead"?
Guessing...20 years of playing and you are ahead, but between losses and winnings u are 3 chips ahead.
It must be well defined, [highlight]how "ahead" we wanna be to keep the game profitable.[/highlight]

Can the game be profitable ?
Yes/No but more often no for 99% of players.
