Spike,

  Well, I went over to Dublin and finally tracked down the "bonus" requirements.   They actually state that the required amount to payoff the "bonus" may be as high as 37 times your deposit plus bonus!!!

  Also, you cannot play many traditional casino games to satisfy the requirements of the bonus.  As baccarat is on the "no play" list, that kills any bonus for sure.

  Here is the appropriate link for those who wish to read it themselves.  It DOES state that the player has a choice so I would think having them just dump it on you can (and should have been) removed.

I deposited $50 at an online casino and told them no bonus.
They said OK and gave me the bonus anyway. So now I have
to wager $2000 before I can withdraw any money.

Please name the casino and do NOT play anything until they remove that bonus.

              Adulay,
                  Check Kattila's excels. What he is doing is very fine example of "extreme variance control".
           

Hmm, yes I do see what you're looking at.   Slowing the "rate of loss" is working there for sure.

It's also worth taking a closer look at for reference.

Attached another Excel Tracker testing Dozen #2.

Marty still holds sway with a profit of 3,403 units.

We know you will get burned in long run, but nice profit anyway.

Enjoy . . .

Nick,

  Uh, not very realistic, wouldn't you say?

Al,

  Do we have to play strictly the "dozens" or can we play this in our normal style?

I would think there should be a valid "definition" of what a "Professional" player is before attempting to determine who is and who isn't one!

If you define a Pro as one who make their living, literally, from the game, that's one thing.

If you define a Pro as one who plays "correctly" and with reason and logic, producing a decent rate of return for the game being played, on a consistent basis, then that's another thing.

We may have several of the latter here on this board, but I'm thinking we have NONE of the former.

I think I would be safe in stating that less than 1/2 of 1% of this board makes a living playing roulette.  The rest of us are merely recreational players who use the game to supplement our normal incomes.  We may be serious recreational players and very professional in our approach, but in the end, we are still hobbyists at these games as our normal daily expenses are generally paid by another income source.

I'm not saying that there aren't people here who bring in a lot of money from the casinos, but using the true definition of the word, they are not professional roulette players but merely roulette players who use a professional approach to the game.

Captain Adulay,
          I know you are skilled and experienced both but non-sharing is something I can't afford to have in my elite group. You could not share even a single method which you play yourself in your entire membership tenure.

Well, I did share.  Even stated EXACTLY what method I was playing.

Nobody believed me. 

This is not my problem.

Thanks for the original offer though.

            I will reorganize the exclusive club of mine with handpicked people who can contribute with fresh ideas or who can help me in further researches.

I believe what you're looking for is a "focus group" and not a forum for discussion.

Good luck and here's hoping you'll be able to pull it off.   As you've seen, attempting to run a weak forum with uncommitted people is a struggle, at best.

Is it just me or has the Newsbot blown a gasket?

Ad,
       refer to my "exclusive section" at our private forum. There is a topic called" how to fight the worst enemy of gambling-variance".

Just went over and checked.  Seems I'm no longer a member of the "exclusive section".

Oh well.

Hmm, if you can "see" the singles with that clarity, you can obviously just play the singles.

If not, you can stay on one side for 2 or 3 plays and still make the profit.

It's basic stuff for sure but a lot of players don't see it that way.

The basic premise is:  "Solve for the 3's" and you've got it made!

It seems you are not aware of my "extreme variance control technique" which can take care of monster side of variances.

Al,

  It seems I'm also not aware of your "extreme variance control technique" either.

  Where might one find this link or thread so I can bring myself up to speed on it?

  AD

Will you guys please quit horsing around.

This is serious stuff!

The result will differ every time we play, if it is fun or real does not matter.

Actually, it does matter, depending on where you might be playing.
I'll just assume that this test is not going on with a real table but an RNG game.
Manipulation of the data is certainly possible in that case.

Anybody with any suggestions?

What will the person with the "correct" answer get for all this work?
