Everything finally concludes, nothing can escape, everything has an end, everything ends


This goes for good and bad streaks.


If you're in a bad streak it is best to lose as little as possible for the duration of it or stop playing until it changes, and if it returns stop playing altogether


If we take it in a good streak take advantage of it, but do not make the mistake of letting all the gains go at the first loss.

I take it he means at the first sign of a loss, keep your eyes open for it can continue, and it's better to withdraw.


"Every bad streak starts with a loss", he said.

He is just pointing out the importance of the global effect. Context context context, context is everything.

Wait a darn second. I said that years ago. All I ever got was dog sh-hit.

But in roulette, that's not really true. Random outcomes
constantly change, nothing is ever the same for long,
change is the only constant. Its dependable, you can
count on it.

And this is what drives system developers nuts. They're
in denial of this fact, they shove it to the outskirts of
their conciousness. Constant change and systems
don't mesh, they're water and oil. Until you accept the
constant change that's always unfolding, you'll always
be barking up the wrong tree.

This is one of the biggest problems someone is going to face in a casino!

Player A takes his system to the casino after countless hours of testing sure that it's going to work just like it did on the kitchen table (or underground bunker)

What happens?

It can't win a spin. The system that won all day yesterday can't win a spin today. Player A starts panicking and then probably blows his bankroll on Auntie Ethel's birthday and house number. (I know this because it has happened to me. If only Auntie Ethel lived at number 24 instead of 22    )
