Some Advice And Where To Find How To Actually Win.

[The General]

1.  The number of people that are still stuck in up as you lose progression betting, and “rare event” betting , while attempting to side step probability, is staggering.  Most of them naively believe that they’ve stumbled upon something new and original.  In reality, nothing could be farther from the truth.  Such ideas have been around for so long,  that history has given a name to it.  It’s name is the “Gambler’s Fallacy”.  The cage of the “Gambler’s Fallacy” has the minds of these people, caged, limited and unable to escape it’s confines - simply because they can’t quite grasp the fundamentals of basic probability.

2. The first step to thinking outside of the box is to realize that you’re still trapped in it!  Take the time to learn a little basic probability, and read on the Gambler’s Fallacy.  If you really want to know how and what it takes to win, read on the history of the game. The information is really there.  You will find the answers.  If you want to take it to the next level, then read what the casino risk consultants are discussing. 

3. Stop trying to "read randomness".  For starters, it's an oxymoron.  Random is random.  Claiming that random has patterns or that it ebbs and flows is silly and absurd.  Making such statements annoys intelligent people.   


4. "Oh, that's my number! I always bet that number!" ( Evidently not, because you didn't bet it on the last spin.) Stop adding more and more numbers as you try to bet on every additional number that come up .  Betting most of the numbers on the wheel, simply because you can't stand to see a number hit that you're not on... is foolish.     When players are betting on most of the numbers, it's often a red flag that they may have a serious gambling problem.  Some junkies even bet on all of the numbers because they are sick, foolish, and suck at math.   
Less is more.  Bet on far fewer numbers and learn to accept that sometimes a number will hit when you're not on it.
Try betting on 7 or fewer numbers.  You're more likely to have larger wins betting on fewer numbers.

5. Stop focusing on the layout.  Instead, focus on the WHEEL.  There's no magical layout that will enable you to win.  It's like watching a baseball, while trying to decide which soccer team will win the game.

6. Playing the game, changes the game.  If your number hits and you're not on them, then had you taken the time to bet them,  they may not have hit.  If you missed a bet, or ran to the bathroom and came back to see your numbers on the board, had you stayed to play then the numbers may not have hit for you.  The reason they may not have hit for you has to do with physics.  Had you stayed, the dealer may have let the wheel spin a little longer before releasing the ball.  This means a different section of the wheel will be below the ball when it's released.  The wheel may be traveling at a slower or faster speed, etc.    Let go, don't freak out when a number hits and you're not on it.

7. Stop with the "ifs".  "If I would have bet this."  "If I would have bet that."  "If I would have started here."    What matters is the current spin.  You can't travel back in time, and if you could, your presence would likely change the physics of the game to the point that you would still have likely missed your bets.  Focus on the current spin.  Stop trying to reconcile your gambling by imagining how the outcome would be different had you changed your bets.  It's a recipe for a gambling addiction.   Use common sense.
Again, playing the game changes the game.

Too many people are still trapped in the box that is the gambler's fallacy, so many won't make it beyond the first paragraph.

It would be more profitable to start a
lemonade stand business than 'traditional' gambling.

Back on topic what I like to do
is take advantage of casino perks.

Since I play online casinos will give
away lots of cash to vie for your business

Now I play with the casino's money, not mine.

Proofreaders,

You're a genius.  Exploiting rebates and perks is a good idea if you're a gambler.

"Stop adding more and more numbers as you try to bet on every additional number that come up .  Betting most of the numbers on the wheel, simply because you can't stand to see a number hit that you're not on... is foolish" >> This should be a bumper sticker!! (lol)

People....please, please, please follow this advice!!

It changes nothing
You go to the toilet which means the dealer produces something different
He still produces random and random has no information
Makes no difference to the game
anyway...you arnt even playing the game

Makes no difference-Turner

It's random... until it's not.  Once we ignore the layout and look at the physics of the wheel, the relationship of the wheel verses the position of the ball on the track, it becomes a different game.

Good advice on how not to lose.

I'm blind in one eye and just can't see out of the other. Where do I find how to win?

Looking back at your life in forums...as a missionary and considering all the 1000s of posts.you have made since circa 2008...repeating the same rhetoric....how many lost souls have you actually converted?

Enough. More than you know.   


How many people have you helped remain in the dark? 

[RouletteGhost]

For the people who play roulette on the side, as a hobby, or in fun social settings for a night out, this means nothing.

For the people who want to make a living, different story.

This is not me arguing. All im saying caleb is preaching this in threads to the people in the first part of this response (socially night out or hobby, for fun) is a waste of time for you.

Let the people who care to learn about AP come to you. Everyone knows about you

Stop being so pushy
