The new layout is cool. Nice and colourful.

I also like the fact that you don't always need to login to read a few posts. 

Thank you guys.

It was nice to wake up and read these messages.

It just shows you. It certainly puts things into perspective and makes you think about what's important in life.

On the plus side... I do have a nice young community nurse who is going to visit me a few times just to make sure things are ok. I will need to buy a new pair of pyjamas. 

Thanks.

thank you Vic for your kind words.

It could have been a lot worse and I am thankful for that. I really need to change a lot of things regarding my lifestyle. But that won't stop me enjoying roulette.

thank you.

It's a nice idea. We could have a monthly comp and an honours roll for a bit of fun.

The only problem I would envisage is having everyone available at the same time because of all the different time zones.

Where would the spins come from? The best option would be using live spins from one of the online casinos. However I could see that presenting a few problems as well because of the limited timeframe between spins.

p.s. nice thread by the way. 

p.p.s Nice z-score Bing Bell 

it's possible to use the framework of the permanence and manoevere yourself into positions where you can consistently take advantage and come out ahead flat betting.

All this is possible well at the same time each number is coming out as probability suggests over a long period of time.

Roulette is a unique game in a sense compared to other gambling games because of how you can interpret what is happening. My edge is how I use the information at my disposal.

Whether he can do it or not is not really the point.

The point is that he is not required to show proof to you or anybody if he does not want to.

That goes for anybody and I was just using Spike as an example.

There are more than a few people on this forum who claim to be able to win. I don't really care if they can win or not. I wouldn't think bad of them for not showing me.

cheers

Calling people liars is a harsh word Sputnik (deluded maybe  )

I agree with Spike here. The casinos are the ones who pay you out for proving it and that's all that matters.

no offence intended! 

p.s. I voted yes by the way.

I like when you use the word strategy.
I have the same opinion that some one should note what is current happining, what is current present, then decide what and how to play and always take in caculation what a small change might be and adapt or follow the wheels current states.

Hello Sputnik

Well I definately find that works much better and it has the ability to throw up some nice consecutive win sequences in short spaces of time in my opinion. This is what I particularly like because more often than not, it allows me to hit the road without getting involved in a long drawn out game.

So what Macau is say to me is this:  Switching systems--often and among many--keeps you on the good trot of numbers.  Using the same system over and  over will find the bad numbers.

The thing is to get away from the 'system' mentality and think more in terms of 'strategy'.

A strategy can incorporate many different systems and concepts. This is where I think the sum can be greater than the parts.

Experience has shown me that there is a good run happening somewhere with enough consistency to make a profit. Experience has also shown me that you will lose your a** if you can't adapt quickly enough with the flow. This kind of player intelligence has to be learned at the tables in my opinion. You learn quicker from real losses.

What I see a lot in the casino is the player rushing up to the table and start playing his favourite numbers straight away with no thoughts of watching for a few spins to get an idea of what's going on. I learned my lesson about this several years ago.

A friend had shared a bit of software with me which he said was great on Baccarat. It involved using a negative 1-2-3 step progression. It worked great for a week and I thought it was going to make me a lot of money.

Disaster struck in the form of the 'terrible two's'.

BB
PP
BB
PP
BB
PP
BB etc....

This thing seemed like it could handle everything that was thrown at it until it ran into the terrible two's. I did not even notice it until I started looking at why my bankroll went up in smoke. I thought how could a 4k system be so flawed in one respect. But this is what happens with systems. A clever strategy could have worked around this and limited the damage to a degree. The terrible two's ran throughout the whole shoe. It may have won somebody else a fortune.

cheers

Watched this last night and thought it was great.

One of the best books I have read is Edward De Bono's 'Parallel Thinking' (His whole collection is great reading material)

He suggests we shift from Socratic thinking - the search for truth- to De Bono thinking - design forward for value.

Those problems that can be solved by analysis have been solved. Now the rest can only be solved by 'design'.

Accept possibilities without judging and lay them down in parallel.

Accept both sides of a contradiction and lay them down in parallel.

Then design forwards from parallel possibilities.

My view is that our Western thinking system based on analysis, judgement and argument holds a lot of us back. It is evident reading the roulette forums that this is the case.

It's a bit of an old cliche but there is definately more than one way to skin a cat.

cheers

Good luck in your new challenge John. 

It is my belief that you should stick with what is happening.

Look at this pic...

[attachimg=1]

Each number should have roughly appeared 3 times by now.

10 of the numbers which are circled have either come 0 times or 1 time.

That's nearly a third of the numbers.

And yet the 7 and 8 combined have appeared 17 times.

This runs throughout the game and not just on the surface like in the pic.

This is why most people lose. It is the variance and unseen variance which kills us.

Only a very few locations are performing better than average when taking different factors into account. This is not a bad thing because it means you don't have to scatter lots of chips around the table. Of course there are no guarantees, however you don't need to hit every spin playing just a few locations and just a small winning run is enough to take you into a healthy profit most times.

So diluting the whole game to a few spots which are performing well is far better in my opinion than playing 18-24 spots which are displaying sleeping tendencies in one form or another.

cheers

I've been on the same topic for the past six years.

That's the way if you ask me because you then have a thorough understanding of what you do and it's there for good assuming roulette does not suddenly dissapear.

There is no joy in playing something where you sometimes have that feeling that today might be the day that the method will come unstuck and it's then back to the drawing board. These type of things are more or less just a quick fix.

6 years is a long time to really get to know something very well.

My hat goes off to anyone with that kind of persistence and they deserve any good fortune that may come along.
