How much patience do you have?

[elmo]

I was going to run a poll but decided to do it this way instead.
My question is this. Let's say you could ALMOST guarantee yourself a profit of 50-100 units every session you played. Maybe 1/5 sessions would see you lose your 100 unit buy in. The other 4/5 sessions would make you a minimum weekly profit of 100 units. Now this 100 unit profit could be any denomination.

Would you sit for an 8 hour session 5 times a week to make the 100 units profit, YES or NO?
It is a straightforward question, I would be interested in your answers.

Of cource I would  do it.
when the BR would be BIG I would bet with at least 50 $ chips.So 50$X100 chips=5000 $ in 8 hours.
Who is making from his day job 5.000$ per day? and a day job is on averaje work of 8 hours daily.

[elmo]

Well said Jean-Claud,
I thought you would do it because of the time and study you put in. However if you were playing up to 8 hours a day and only placing bets under optimal conditions, it could get very boring and tedious even allowing for the fact that you would be making a regular income. It kind of takes the fun out of the game. You can look at that two ways. There is surely no fun in losing but this style would not be to everybody's liking.

Looking for fun=GAMBLING

I don t like gumbling

what's better than winning 100 units in 8 hours? winning 100 units in 7 hours!  

i'm trying to understand what the real question is.   is it a matter of time spent playing or amount won? what i mean is, are you asking whether or not the average person can spend 8 hours a day at the roulette table without losing their mind? or are you asking, if there was a way to make about 100 units in an 8 hour session, would 100 be enough of a win in an 8 hours session for you?

is 100 units the limit for you? would you try to win 200?

and how many spins are played? is it more a matter of 8 hrs or x amount of spins played? could you win in half the time on an automated wheel for example. 

as for JC comment about $50 chips, who regularly buys in for 5 grand a session? i can't imagine what the total bankroll must look like. 

[Jean-Claud]

hahahha!
try going to the HI-ROLLERS tables...the 5.000 BR is 1 STEAK for them in 1 spin.
U are just very new in Roulette

[pins]

roulette would take over your life. if you done it for awhile. you would end up in the nut house.

Thanks for posting Kyla,
I am taking one of Jean-Claud's statements on board where he says "looking for fun=gambling"
If I want fun, I can go to the cinema or go shoot some pool with my mates. If I want to win at roulette, I have to take it serious. Now that may mean playing for a long period of time and only placing bets at certain times.
I don't want anybody to misunderstand either, I asked would it be acceptable if you were making 100 units profit per week, not every session. This is a minimum achievement and it could be slightly more than 100 units in a week.

I take your point about playing an autowheel and getting in plenty of spins. You are right, that could cut down the time dramatically. In eight hours at a spin every 90 seconds, I am guaranteed at least 300 spins, that is enough to get the right quota of bets down. Playing 30 second spins would be impractical for my method.

As for a bankroll, 100 units are enough for a session. So if you were looking to make 500 a week, you need a 2500 bankroll. If someone would be happy with 200 a week, they would require a 1000 bankroll.
I also don't want anybody to  get the wrong idea, this is no sales pitch, I am wanting to see what the reaction is before I decide to give this away or not.

"you would end up in the nut house" LOL, you could be right pins. 

[bombus]

I did it for a while - playing 7 or 8 hours a day 4 or 5 times a week.

It's very tough and I wouldn't like to do it again.

Even if you win $2000 a week it's hard to justify the time.

Playing beyond 2 or 3 hours a session is not for the feint hearted. Especially when you lose money at the end of a marathon, which does happen, and then it's very demoralizing to think you have to return again tomorrow for another marathon just to hopefully get your losses back from yesterday – essentially working for nothing. And sometimes this will happen in devastating streaks and you find yourself in a position of working 8 hours a day for a whole week just to recover lost ground.

If you can consistently win 4 of every 5 sessions then a bigger bankroll is the way to go.

Bet 5 times as much and you only have to do 1 session a week.

So I suppose my answer is NO. I don't have the patience for a full time roulette job. 

[elmo]

"If you can consistently win 4 of every 5 sessions then a bigger bankroll is the way to go."

I agree with you there Bombus, but then all the things you mentioned earlier on in your reply magnify x5.
Of course building it slowly and then increasing the bets is probably the way to go.

I would not grumble at 2k a week, that is 50 an hour. Maybe I need to try and think more positive.

[The Spiders Kiss]

Hi
For 100 units a week win I would sit for 8 hours a day. I know it's a big ask to do this regularly,as pointed out by Bombus, but for 2k a week? You could count me in.

only idiots make assumptions.   


elmo,

i would have to make a little more than 100 units a week to justify that amount of time.    my only reason is that if you do have a system that is this consistant, it would take a forever to build up a large enough bankroll to make it pay well.    this means that I would have to start by investing a large amount of money at the start, (something i would rather not do).   i'd prefer a different method of play with a higher rate of return to allow for a smaller starting bankroll.   

[L4KNG]

Would you sit for an 8 hour session 5 times a week to make the 100 units profit, YES or NO?
It is a straightforward question, I would be interested in your answers.

Of course I would.  You can make a unit any size you want (with in the table limits).

[elmo]

Thanks guys/gals,

Some interesting answers.I can see where you are all coming from. Let's say for instance that you have the 2500 bankroll and win 100 units each week. At the end of the year, you have won 5000 units. Now obviously a lot of people have a better paying job than 25k and they are guaranteed the money more or less.
I suppose the question is as much for me as anybody else, lol. I am seriously thinking about going for it and some of the answers have given me food for thought. I think the tricky part will be knowing when to increase the bets.
I have only ever played part time up till now but I have spent a lot of time researching roulette and all that time would be for nothing if I don't try and go for it now that I have the time on my hands. I am prepared to lose my bankroll if it all goes wrong. At the end of the day it is still gambling.
