Roulette wheel. Why does red always come up more then black?

[Sinppu]

It does. The rake is a killer, ten percent at many card clubs, twenty percent for tournaments on cruise ships. Then the tipping adds up over a year or two.

 

Only if you lose.

Your system will work given three conditions:

 

a) Your number (or color, if you are just betting red or black) finally comes up before the doubling and re-doubling results in your stake requiring more money than exists in the universe: it does not take that many doublings to reach that point.

 

b) You do not come up against a house or table limit before your number comes up.

 

 

c) You can retain faith in your system even if you lose just, say, nineteen times in a row: at a $5 table your twentieth bet would be more than $2,600,000.

 

Think about it! You'll reach the table limit on a bad session and you'll lose a ton of money.

 

Gamble for the fun of it! Sometimes, you'll win ... Other Times, you'll lose.

There is quite genuinely a guaranteed way to win on the roulette wheel. :):):)

 

Place a bet. If it loses, double your stake. If it loses, double your stake. If it loses, double your stake. Continue to double-up until you win. You will then walk away with more than the total that you have staked. Guaranteed. It's a true mathematical certainty.

You are almost certain to win within 38 spins, but you are still guaranteed to win more than your total stakes even if it takes a hundred spins.

 

If you don't believe me, check it through on a calculator.

Best if you make that a pretty big calculator - then you'll discover the one tiny flaw in the system :rolleyes:

 

That tiny flaw being the table limit. The very reason there is such a thing.

I use to deal Blackjack, Craps and Roulette for 20 years in Atlantic City. And have to say, I laughed so hard at these posts.

 

All Carnival cruise ships use an American Roulette wheel which consist of 37 numbers, but the highest pay-out is only 35 to 1. (this should be your first warning you are being played by the casino) If you are lucky enough to find a Europeon Roulette wheel elsewhere, this will have 36 numbers as there is no 00, but the highest pay-out is still only 35 to 1 (casino still has an edge).

You were a dealer for 20 years and you say there are 37 numbers on an American wheel and 36 on a European wheel???? Try 38 (1-36 + 0 00) and 37 (1-36 + 0). I've dealt and supervised for 14 years in Las Vegas, I don't deal the wheel, and I have the correct answers. What does that say about you AC dealers??

[MrCo9]

Every Carnival cruise i've been on the roulette wheel had 36 numbers.....13 rows of 3 numbers. Plus the 0 and 00 which i hate.

13 x 3 = 39, it has 12 rows of 3 numbers. Sheesh, some people.

If you put a chip on the red space and a chip on the black space (not a #, just the space on the side) and a chip on the odd# space and a chip on the even # space, your chances increase to 100% from 50% :D;):rolleyes: That is my system! :eek:

Except you lose ALL those bets when the ball lands on 0 or 00. So, you really have a 97.29% (36/37) chance of breaking even, NOT winning on a European wheel and a 94.73% (36/38) chance of breaking even, NOT winning on an American wheel.

If I lived to be 100 yo I don't think I would ever figure out craps. BJ I can do, but I am not a skilled player. I kind of add the numbers in my head! :cool: I have heard thru the grapevine that some of the better players don't enjoy having "amateurs" at the table with them? Is this true?

What body part do you think everyone else uses when adding??? I've been dealing 14 years and the ONLY professional blackjack players I've met are the dealers I've worked with or played against. By professional I mean someone makes a living at the game. No one sitting down having cards dealt to them is a professional at Blackjack, you're ALL amateurs, some have more experience and sense than others.

 

The chance of a newbie player hurting a table by making a "dumb" move is the same of them helping the table. A newbie that takes the "dealers card" on this hand is the same newbie that gets you a 21 3 hands later. You'd need a Cray computer and the exact sequence of cards to know if they helped or hurt the table when playing a 6 deck shoe.

ps. works on red. Not sure about black :D

If you're betting a number straight up, you can bet it 34 times before having to double your bet, on a split 16 times, on a corner 7 times, etc. And as other have noted, the table max or the size of your bankroll may get in the way of ANY Martingale (double up to catch up) system. I tried that system once on the 1/3rd sections. Started with a $2 bet and got up to $512 once before that section hit. When you're doing it on a 1/3rd section you're hoping for the bigger bets to be there when it finally hits as you're getting paid 2xs your bet, on a red/black system you're only going to win your original bet, on a 1/3rd system the payoff is much bigger.

The next card is not a guaranteed sequence in blackjack. Those complaining are just superstitious gamblers and need someone/something to blame when the cards aren't going their way. if you take the "bust card" that the dealer would have taken, they take issue. However, they don't remember when some amateur takes a card that helps the other players. Basically you always remember your losses and want to bitch/moan/complain/whine about them which is what you hear. . .

 

I play quite a bit of Bj/Craps and I might be mildly superstitious, but it doesn't bother me when someone plays completely different from the so called "book". Just don't let it bother you and play your hand/cards. Because what someone else does is just not changing the odds for or against you. Besides, most people who say they "play be the book" don't actually really play by the book. There are quite a few difficult decisions that people frequently don't do (always splitting 8's, hitting 12 into 3, etc, etc).

23 years working in the Casino business & I have never read so much rubbish in this thread in all my life. The fact that a lot gamblers just "don't get it" is why they can build multi million dollar Casinos.

A coin flip that is not 50/50, yes if your IQ is also less than 50.

Cards that have a memory.....yeah right!

Craps players that don't realize that to take the best bet in the house - "odds" you have to bet one of the worst - "pass line/don't pass line".
