Now my only worry is that Vic will start to recieve death threats

  I certainly hope it isn't the case!

Thanks again Bayes. 10% of whatever I make from this and the other methods will be donated to Victor and the forum. So many will benefit from this.

That's quite kind dear John. Thank you VERY much.
It's reassuring to know there'll be your monthly help

@Clumping Theory , ie sub set of Cluster Theory

One thing is to observe what is formed every 37-spin clusters (overall effect for the cycle), and another thing to study how they clump (pre-effect -but not cause!, It's the study of how the effect unfolds, the study of how a moving target starts to "move" and its properties such as direction, signal strength, etc. i.e. the study of the very moving condition(s)).

I'd say correlating it to the wheel as a physical object should be the very first choice to learn it.

More "ethereal" scenarios can be derived; but at first, having a physical object can help on comprehending it. i.e. a loaded area on the wheel is clearly related to the side where the ball strikes the most for current cycle, hence it's very easy to grasp.


Clumping Theory deserves its own thread   

That's all there is to quote. 

Feel free to continue the topic in here. 

Quote from: Maui13AWESOME ADVICE ....!!!!!   


Something I would like to add is "patience" - as I myself sometimes start rushing things, when my behind hurts because I've been sitting so long    and then things go pear shape!

Quote from: LuckyLucyHi Victor so I'm a semi pro! cool, not a random chip thrower!

to be honest I used to be, but probably because when I first started playing on live super casino, while the presenters don't take you by the hand and say, oh you should do this etc, they do go on about hot numbers/cold numbers, numbers on the carosel, there favourite numbers etc.  if you are not an experienced player, or drunk! then it can influence your descion making. They also try to encourage you (a lot) to take the bonuses, as well, just quickly mentioning that there is wagering requirements.

I like your suggestions.

Quote from: Lady KHello dear Victor,

I know you've been busy and me I've been practicing. 
As Iggiv mentioned and I agree, this may work on some wheels (I think some "types" better than others). I never trusted RNG but I have been practicing with one as I can go at my own pace while learning. They keep throwing so many repeaters at me (which could be a different game, LoL) it's difficult sometimes. I used colored pencils yesterday to see the "layers" more clearly and actually got a hit that way. I can imagine what my casino would think if I were to walk in there and start coloring, haha. It is interesting though to see what part of the wheel is more active as the repeats tend to clump together. Do you ever bet the repeaters? And I would like to ask, which do you prefer for this method: live, airball, and/or RNG? 

I answered my own question about length of play, when I read your Zone Maximum post. On the 18 spins after the 37-cycle there are sometimes so many dots! You wrote if there are large contiguous areas already hit, to bet the "lesser ones". Do you mean the dots without repeats, or around the one dot that may be standing alone still?
Do you continue and try another 18 spins whether you've had a hit or not?
What is the least amount of numbers you have bet at one time... and the most...?

I appreciate your comment about not getting stuck on certain numbers... yeah, I was doing that.
As for misplacing a bet... been there, done that too. Never play when you're tired!
Also your comment about keeping my eyes open... I now try to be more aware of everything happening, and go with the flow of what the wheel is doing at that particular moment.   

I like watching the design the ball makes when moving from one part of the wheel to the other. Fascinating really. That must be possible to track somehow.

Great fun this!

>> Look at how many people has gone broke because "it must show"

Cycle play protects you to a certain extent from the negative extreme situations, since you have a definitive point of exit, you aren't going to be suffering situations like chasing a double-street for 60+ spins pumping money after money on something that just isn't showing (ask F_LAT!).

By only continuing what is currently appearing, you protect from those.

Limited cycles also equal to limited mistakes too. In case you mess a bet, you aren't going to have to suffer a huge downfall in your bankroll, like it can be -for instance- to a heavy progression player misplacing a chip and not hitting a spin where he should; especially on the last steps of a heavy progression.

Treating each cycle as a separate gaming unit has its benefits over other strategies, specially when dealing with such type of extremes.

Quote from: VLSAgreed with Iggiv; caution is always a must in gambling 

If the patterns aren't there, just don't get stubborn. Look at how many people has gone broke because "it must show".

Good thing about roulette is that when something itsn't showing at the expected theoretical rate, it is because something else is showing at a bigger rate than expected, so you must keep your eyes open and never be stubborn.

In roulette being stubborn on a location (or getting in love with a certain selection or numbers) doesn't pay. The only thing your must learn to love in roulette is the constant change and the extremes; of course, when you ride it   

Quote from: iggivit is hard. since roulette is random it does not like consistent patterns on a long run be it table or the wheel. but sometimes it looks like it is working on some wheels.

Quote from: Lady KI appreciate your advise Iggiv... and caution. 

Yes, I read Scoblete's book last December when I started on my journey into the world of gambling... he has an entertaining style of writing which makes for a good read.

I read many books, and played a lot on my own (learning by doing). But I only really started understanding how to play correctly, with stop/loss and money-management... here on the Forum.

And now that Victor has introduced me to disc-play, it has completely captured my fancy. I look forward to exploring this "wheel" on it's entirety.
