who's making money out of roulette at the moment?

[Amazin]

wow, can't believe this thread is still going.

My original plan was trying to find out if other members are making money out of roulette. After all, out of all the money making ventures out there, why roulette? The time and effort you put into roulette can easily invested into learning trading, internet marketing, Poker, etc..

what I'm really trying to say is this:

So many other ways to make money and entertain ourselves, why pick one that involves so much risks and little return for the effort and time invested?

Just look at the replies in this thread, not many people declared how much money they have made with confidence. To the ones who claim that they are beating roulette in the long run, why you tell everyone how much money you have made in the last 12 month? Ideally provide some screen shots of your BR from the casino you been playing on from different time periods.

I guess some people just can't give up and continue to waste their time and effort into something with little/no return and potentially huge debts.

you can tell people again and again what they are doing wrong, and what they need to do, but most dont listen. 20 years down the road they'll eventually say they should have listened.

[Proofreaders2000]

If you play for receration, budget a portion from your entertainment funds (I.e. If your income is 2000/month, 5% of it could be for entertainment--$100.  From that money, $40 or $50 could go toward building the bankroll or playing for small stakes.

If you wish to play professionally (and make larger bets), never, never play with your own money. *That's why Steve H.'s offer is appealing imo.

Gambling has NOTHING to do with investing - it's a form of entertainment.

You pay for entertainment normally - so will you with gambling.

If you want the Holy Grail of Roulette I've got it for you:
Roulette Truth - #5 Roulette Holy Grail


If you have the skills and talent at poker that's an entirely different form of gambling - you are playing against other gamblers with the casino charging a fee for using their facilities.

As long as you view gambling as entertainment and are willing to pay for that entertainment then Roulette is a fun and entertainment way to spend your money.

I snowboard with my son in Park City, UT each President's week and the lift tickets cost $100/day for each of us and we snowboard 4 days so I pay $800 just to get on the slopes for the two of us.  Then the ski in/out condo costs $600/nt for a 2-bedroom and that's $4,200 then the SouthWest tickets cost about $400 each for another $800.  Then every year I normally buy a new board or boots for about $500 per year.  Rental car is $400 for the week. Total cost to me is about $6,700 each year.

Just to get sore muscles and fantastic memories of my son and I having an adventure in the mountains.  We go on 5 vacations per year with my wife, son, and other family members.  This does not include the monthly casino visits.

Roulette is peanuts compared to my other vacations.

BS.

As a form of investment, limit yourself to 5% of your net worth.  Stop after that, and no more ever.  You though you could win/break even, but didn't make it.  Let it go.

For entertainment, don't gamble anything.  Drugs, whichever, aren't entertainment.  That's a lot of fun over a few days for a lot of headache over a lifetime.

Are you saying that gambling is a form of investing?


I hope not................

[Tamino]

Maui  just explained  his take  on casino gambling. It is  a form of entertainment as he   had laid out in  one of his  previous posts .

A  Broadway show  or an Opera  at  Lincoln center is not a money making proposition either. Some  people    just don`t get it .They never will .

But iin places  like  K......./Ontario people  are of a different mind set.

Let me get this straight-


Some of you believe that a casino spends a billion dollars building a casino and millions a year running the place so they can give money away to you at the Roulette table.


Hahahahahahahahahahahaha......

"Are you saying that gambling is a form of investing?"

That's the thing which practically no one understands about gambling.  Until you understand that, you, like most of the others, are doomed to "rattle around" like this making such-odd noises.  That's the reason that you "need" to come off as a rich and famous expert at everything.  Like the other scammers of one thing or another, who all end up at the same dead end.  The good life isn't about the garbage can, "Fill me up."

The Wizard doesn't get it, the (other) scammers don't get it, the addicts don't get it... not even the casual casino-goer gets it.

The casino-industry was, and still is, built around all sorts of illusory rationales in a vain attempt to validate it.  Even the Wizard gets his "cut".  Scum.  (The Wizard is the biggest coward and wimp going.  Bodog is the only way he can support himself by it.  Go there, remind him of that... he will have his "webmaster" make up posts under your username to then ban you.  LoL.)

However, nothing is completely bad, or good.  A very-few persons outside that industry do consistently turn an expected marginal profit by the casino-games.  It's well-documented in at least the literature of blackjack theory; and its various methods of practice, gaffed and straight-up.  (There may even be somewhat-elaborate ways to beat most of the other games, but then i would put that in a simple and cheap book like the other reputable gaming authors.)  Do your homework over several years, then take your 5%, and go beat also your gambling-associated pitfall-tendencies along the way (by very-likely really beating the games).

In addition, gambling can provide an easy escape from many of the chronic, mindset-type "nags", but the (real) recreational activities don't come with its many potential problems.

I state what a seasoned player told me last year.

Most players dont have these to things and that is why they cant win.


Patience and Discipline.

Ya, keep staring while they keep taking your money.

If you can win, you don't have to wait for anything, or anyone.  Nothing to be "restless" about then.
