Professional poker players can actually meet and can sit at a table, match wits, exchange banters, and determine who will be the best player, that day.

Roulette players sit at the table and challenges the casino. But, they don't want any roulette players knowing their secrets.

So what happens when you gather all of these roulette players to one table to beat the house. Can you imagine?

Here's some examples.

"What are you doing? You can't beat roulette by playing outside bets."
"That's b___s___, progression will kill you"
"Man you don't have enough BR."
"You call yourself a professional."

Most roulette players do not get any respect from other professions, because they are children in adult bodies.
All they want to do is argue all the time. Hell, if I want that, I would have found me a crazy woman.

My point is there is nothing to prove, only that roulette players are solitary animals and will protect their territory by pi**ing every where they can, not with urine, but by hurtful words.

Let's meet in Las Vegas sometime in May, the first two weeks of May.

I'm sure you professionals can make it. Prove that there are professional in this world. The challenge can be determined collectively.

Qualifications: Expert in single zero and double roulette tables, must be able to win equal amounts, not just one wheel.

When a professional sits at a table, they can distinguish the professionals from the amateurs. That holds true with any profession. If you can not do that, then you are not a professional, perhaps a semi-pro at best.

A professional does not have one method; he or she has an arsenal of strategies.
A professional does not have only one way of thinking; but has the ability to embrace different mind sets, without giving prejudice.

I know for certain that Victor is a professional. Why? The fact he is willing to put himself out there for all eyes to gaze upon him, naked with an open mind, a sword in one hand, and an olive branch in the other.

Who amongst you declare yourselves professionals? The fact that Spike understands the nature of take only what you need, tells me he is a professional. He too, may sometimes half to wield his sword of words to ward of personal attacks.

I know of many professionals. Who do you know?

Professionals do not waste their time with long sessions.  They have a goal in mind and the take it. It's the greedy amateurs that use professional methods that give us professionals a bad rap.

Spike,

I was not referring to you.  The contradiction claimed by your nemesis is a contradiction in itself. I admire the fact that you can call someone out when it comes to original thought, or lack there of.

Original thought, I have yet to see on this forum from people who claim to be experts. My concession to those who think there are experts is that they do a wonderful job explaining other people's original thoughts and claiming it their own.

This section is about gambling philosophy. Philosophically speaking, claiming to be an expert in anything while preaching other people's original thoughts is just that, preaching.

On the flip side, bashing other people's original thought without having the capacity to understand their concepts does not make that person a qualified critic.

Spike, I too want to expose gambling philosophical fraud.

Welcome to the Darkside.

Contradiction is a state of mind.  If you state it, I don't mind. It just goes to show that contradiction and randomness are the same. It's not linear, nor lateral. It's a cyclical, because it repeats itself. So, if you contradict yourself, don't worry, it's cyclical. It will happen again.

Most roulette players lose often because of trigger based systems and progressions. When a set of numbers, say dozens, do not come in within the one of three average, a string of misses of 10 or more when chasing with a progression, will kill your bank roll.

However, using the same scenario one can implement random consciousness by simply choosing a different set of random dozens after three spins, while maintaining the chosen progression. What this does is prevents you from staying on a long bad streak. It actually increases you chances of winning, especially if the original dozen continues to stay on the missed streak. Instead of 37 numbers, you have 25 to choose from.

Stay in tune with your randomness and apply mathematical principles. Who made the rules that you cannot do both at the same time? I believe it moves toward proximity.

There is another approach which does not entail linear thinking, which drives the math guys crazy, synchronistic events.

"Synchronicity refers to those random yet seemingly meaningful coincidences that enrich our lives, sometimes to our amazement, sometimes to our distress, and sometimes to our delight," a foreword by Alan Combs to Dr. Kirby Surprise's book called Synchronicity.

There are many roulette players who experience these events as they are deciding what numbers to choose. It's almost like they know what numbers are coming in. I'm sure at one point or another many have experienced such an event. You say to yourself, number seven is coming in and the dealer says no more bets. The number seven come in.

I believe lateral thinking combined with synchronistic events offers the roulette player an advantage over randomness.
