I thought this might be a good idea for a thread. It would be great to get your ideas about what you think does not work in this game. It could be anything. Remember it is all about opinions. I am not going to delete anybody's point of view. The answers should come from your own playing experiences and not just because you read it somewhere or it sounds cool.
My first suggestion would be 'don't chase rainbows' What do I mean?
I don't think you should chase a bet selection looking for a win. It is the quickest route to the poorhouse that I know in this game. Take one shot at it! Great if you win, if not, re-evaluate and look for the next opportunity.
example: Your method tells you to bet streets 5 (13,14,15) and 7 (19,20,21)
31 comes up (street 11) and you have lost. Don't go chasing the 5 and 7. You were wrong!
Next up.... Using cycles of spins of more than a dozen numbers to come up with a bet selection. This is a waste of time in my opinion and just complicates matters. A lot can happen over 20 or so spins. eg. dealer change, ball change etc, etc..... If you can't come up with a winning idea that culminates in a win on say the 8th, 9th or 10th spin, why try and go for 30 or more. It makes no sense to me.
Anyway, you get the idea. Looking forward to your suggestions.
My next one. Adding numbers to your bet.
example: You are betting 5, 7, 15, 20. You lose.
Next up you bet the 5, 7, 15 and 20 and add 24, 27 and 30 for good measure. This will quickly escalate to a point where you are needing to place a lot of units on each individual number.
A sure fire recipe for disaster over the long term, not to mention the headache in adjusting the stakes to ensure a profit should you win on the next spin.

Flukey I do not agree with your thinking here. What you must do in order to be successful with this game is hit a higher winning percentage than a losing one. This doesn't have to be on your first attempt. Only show a profit margin over a certain number of attempts within a reasonable realm.
If for example I play a session of Divide and Conquer (4 GAMES) And I lose one of them, to level stakes I am down 5 units. But that isnt the bigger PICTURE. My days play consists of 20 games. Now I seldom lose more than ****3**** of these 20 games in any one calendar day. And RARELY lose ****2**** in a row.
There are your two power points. And the key point is THIS, you may never beat this game relying on beating the wheel straight. But by using smart money management and disciplined play. YOU WILL DEFINATELY BEAT THIS GAME. That is the factor that will most probably never enter into the minds of enough people to make an impression on this game. But its the way you beat this game plain and simple.
Playing any system long term is a guaranteed failure. I've even been caught up. It's hard to quite when you are winning.
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF God, stop playing MANY numbers.

Playing against the trend. Seeing five blacks in a row you think red is due?
Also negative martingale progressions ultimately fail.
I was playing yesterday and saw something cool. The table I was at, 13 reds in a row. The table next to me, 13 blacks in a row.

human brain is very funny thing, we see 15 reds and start thinking oh black has to come...but why we do not go for other even chances sure roulette cannot have it both ways... >:D

Everything evens out, even when it repeats. Going nowhere, or only the same way, are different matters.
