Here will be a place to share some of my thoughts and ideas! 

Here is something to ponder.....

Do you go to a casino to 'play' or to win?

Something that I have started to try and do recently is to ask myself 'is there any reason why I should not place this bet'

If it's a YES.....no bet. If it's a NO.....bet.

This seems to have made a difference. Try it and you may be surprised! It does take some getting used to. One positive to this approach is that it instills discipline. I also think it may be good psychologically because there is nothing worse than losing a few bets that you were hesitant to make. Playing this way could help out in some of those tough sessions and keep you in the game.

Interesting.
I play to Win or Break Even. Once i get a profit i play with casino money and try to get a more relaxed game, enjoy my time.
Also i tink that it is very good to have a sensation of control over your game and bets. Know what to expect. This makes a difference for me.
So i believe your mental self awareness works good too.

Any more ponderings?

Nothing much to say really!

I am contemplating my next challenge! I like the idea of trying a few different classical progressions with my ideas and see how they hold up. The D'alembert looks like it is tailor made for what I am playing right now. I think I will give that a go on one of the live dealer online casinos just for a bit of fun and to see how long it can last.

I ordered the Frank Barstow book 'Beat The Casino' the other day and I am looking forward to reading it.



Here is something I found on an old gambling site tonight. It might be of use to somebody.


*How many spins are necessary before all the numbers (0-36) to come in?

*How many spins necessary before all the streets (1-12) come in?

*How many spins necessary before all the 3 even money patterns (rrb, brb, rbb, etc) come in?

(These are not set in stone and are just an average)


Number of trials needed to get first number is: 1.00
Number of trials needed to get 2 different numbers is 2.00
Number of trials needed to get 3 different numbers is 3.00

Finally, the 3rd example of 3-pattern EC bets {rrr,bbb,rrb,bbr,rbr,brb,brr,rbb}

Number of trials needed to get 1 pattern is: 1.00
Number of trials needed to get 2 different patterns is 2.00
