What does this prove or show us ?
That you can make money based upon fallacies ?

It is a poll designed to at least make us think about whether we are in this for the fun of it or for real.

If everybody says they're "up" for the year, then something is amiss.  I would expect the majority of the votes to show neutral and losses with about 20% showing that they keep no records at all.

Hopefully this will spur those who just show up and gamble, to see what they're really doing.

If the poll shows a substantial number of losing players, then perhaps all of the discussions on the  various forums are moving in the wrong direction.

The poll is not scientific by any means.  It is a simple yardstick at the end of the year to see how we're doing collectively.  As there is no requirement to post up any discussion on the vote, most users will vote and move on.  If anyone wishes to expound on their choice, they are more than welcome.

In my own case, it was a good year.

I do not play roulette though, so that is why the subject is "2013 Gambling" and not "2013 Roulette Pass/Fail".

All,

  Well, it is that time of the year when we determine just how well we did (or didn't) in the casino environment.

   As no one will be able to see how anyone voted, you should at least try to be honest with yourself and your fellow forum members.

   The poll will run for 30 days which should give everyone a good chance to participate.

   Hopefully we'll have a few "winners" in the bunch.  No names are attached so let's try to be honest about it and see where we stand.

It was obvious to me.

Evidently humor is not in fashion for some people!

AD (where do I send that $5000?)

Al,

  OK, I'll let you slide on a technicality.

  I'll consider it closed.

How about posting genuinewinner woth $2500?

Al,

  Well, it's almost closed.  You can't get away that easily!

  I asked if you would post up a photo of the cover of the $1000 book (any of them will suffice) that you purchased and you come back with a request for somebody's $2500 system play.

  So, you can start a new thread with the cover picture or retract your original statement about buying those books.

  Your choice.

  Both of your books are as much open to all forum members as wikipedia. I have a compilation of hundreds of books on roulette and gambling costing anywhere from $1.99 to a few thousands of dollars.

Al,

  Please post up a scan of one of the $1000 books you have.   The cover will suffice.

Now that Johnny has destroyed his credability (Obama) no one believes him.  What if a Johnny truly had the "Holy Grail" and no one listened?

It's not the fact that nobody would listen as most people of the forum see a "new" idea or system play and either consciously or subconsciously validate it on the fly.

  If it turns out to actually be a new idea, it will be looked at and validated against other, similar ideas and processed accordingly.

  If it actually shows any kind of promise, meaning it's better than what it's being validated against, most people will run with it and really see if it works.

  The problem is, a lot of this detailing gets done by individual members and once it has failed their own reasonablness testing, it is discarded and no mention is generally made of it.

  This tends to make people think that nobody is even looking at their accomplishments but as we all know, that is not true.

  If a person were to actually post up something reasonably close to the HG, it would be followed and tested into painful detail.  However, as most of the "new" stuff is merely rehashed efforts to find a trigger and a way to extend losses, it falls off into the sunset until the next time.

  Also, once a person finds a play that really works for them, they are not in any big hurry to rush off to the next big thing, no matter how much publicity it gets.  If you're making money with your play, you won't be in any hurry to change to something else!  That just makes sense.

  The bottom line?  If the HG shows up on the doorstep, it won't go unnoticed for long.

Albalaha should jump in here shortly as he has a large collection of live results, 185 spins at a time and the are linked over on his forum.

To get back on topic with the automated roulette machine, I was up in Tampa yesterday and I think I know where the machines went when they got taken out of my local casino.

The roulette machine was PACKED with players!

Evidently Tampa has much better demographics for $10 roulette than Brighton does!

They also had several of the Sic-Bo/Craps machines.  You could play either game on the table.  A very clever solution to multiple game play.  Two white dice and one black die.  If you were playing craps, only the two white dice counted.  If you were on the Sic-Bo table, the third die came into play.

An elegant solution for sure!

Why are we getting three week old "bot" postings?

Any second thoughts yet?

Esoito,

  Unfortunately, it's all we've got to work with for now.

  We can always hope that "in the future" the mere acceptance of a credit card (or PayPal) or some other third party interface will suffice, but as long as there are extensive money laundering schemes going on, we'll have to work like this.

  I was not all that excited to give up the information when it was my turn.  So far, nothing has happened with that info in the last few years so for now I think I'm still reasonably "safe".

Just a quick test to make sure images are working in the "new" software.
