A Roulette System That Works (Page 1 of 2)
I saw a roulette system advertised on television one night. What a joke! It was nothing more than a money management system. It isn’t a bad idea to manage your bets and your bankroll when you gamble, but if that is all you are doing, you just slow your losses or rearrange them. After ten years working in a casino and running a roulette table, I can tell you that money management systems do not make you a profit in the long run.
There is a roulette system that works, however. It takes some careful planning and a fair amount of work. In fact, you may have to spend days or even weeks tediously “charting” roulette wheels, which means writing down the numbers that come up on each spin.
This work is boring, which explains why not many people are willing to use this system. That’s a good thing, by the way. Any system that is is too easy will be over-used, and so stopped by the casinos. For example, while working at a casino, I watched a man make $80,000 over a period of months using this simple system, and management didn’t seem to care. Laziness, I guess, or they were making enough money on the other players to lose a few thousand back to this man every month.
On the other hand, after I quit my job and came in to gamble, the wheels were repaired and re-calibrated to eliminate any bias. More than one regular winner apparently would have been too much for them. You can see why systems which are more difficult and therefore less-used can work for a longer time, and why you should keep a low profile and not tell others what you are doing.
A Better Roulette System
Here is the system: Write down the results of 5,000 spins. See if there are any numbers that came up more than 151 times. If so, start betting on that number every spin. If not, try another wheel. That’s pretty much the whole plan.
Here is why it works. Roulette wheels sometimes have biases, meaning a number or numbers come up more often that they should by chance. Sometimes a number is spun frequently enough to make money. If 18 is showing up one in 30 spins, for example, and you bet $10 on it each time, you get paid 35 to one when it hits, plus you keep your $10 bet.
You would win $350 once for every 30 spins, on average, and lose $290 on the other 29 $10-bets. This would result in a profit of $60 for every 30 spins, or about $80-per-hour on a “fast” table (40 spins per hour). It is boring betting the same number every time, and a good “average” doesn’t mean you won’t have nights where you lose hundreds of dollars. I saw that gentleman who won $80,000 lose $500 some nights, but he stuck with it and made his money.
It is important that the bias is great enough. This particular player would play number only if it was coming up 1-in-33 spins or more often (151 out of 5,000 spins). His best number on one wheel came up once in every 29 spins, making him as much as $100 per hour for his time, depending on the pace of the game each night (with a $10 bet each time).
Why are online casinos preferred?
The number of people that gamble online is on a steady rise. Despite the fact that most online casinos are banned in the United States there are some that accept American players. And these casinos are not illegal casinos. When you search online you get to see many online casinos where you can gamble even though you are in the USA.
But why would you play online when the USA has two of the best known casino destinations in the world in Las Vegas and Atlantic City? The excitement of a Bellagio or a Caesars Palace is nothing but extraordinary. The experience of gambling along with thousands other casino players is a fascinating experience indeed. So why play online at all?
One of the reasons why people play online is because they can make more from an online casino. Typically online casinos have higher payouts than brick and mortar casinos. So, if someone wins money in an online casino they can really win big. The jackpots amounts that are awarded in some games are simply out of this world.
The other reason why people gamble online is because of the various promotions and bonuses that are on offer throughout. When someone registers with an online casino they invariably get a joining bonus. Some online casinos pay up to 400% of the first deposit that a player makes. This is not a small amount of money and if one can use this money to win big the satisfaction is even more. Of course there are terms and conditions built into these bonuses but it is easy to understand them.
And of course, there is the satisfaction of gambling from ones home that makes online casinos so popular. There is no need to travel to a casino and the games are available 24 by 7, 365 days a year. Moreover, there are no crowds around and one can play with complete peace.
Today online casinos have evolved more thanks to live roulette. Live roulette games are conducted by certain online casinos where actual roulette games are telecast live on TV and players can wager through phone or through the web. The games are conducted like normal roulette games and the winners are decided as they are in real roulette games.
These are only some reasons why online casinos are preferred. Play a couple of games online and you will know why these sites are so popular.
