Puzzling - can post here but not on my XXVV section. I have been assured this will be fixed soon - and I am very grateful but have been unable to post very interesting results to my testing and a new method for nearly 2 weeks. R

If it's all about beating online roulette from the comfort of your own home, I would forget that too.
Online casinos are a disaster area. They will pull every trick in the book to ensure you either lose, or can't withdraw your winnings, or disconnect you , or ban you for the slightest reason if they see you winning.
You can't beat them because they don't play fair. They move the goal posts around constantly so you can never kick a goal.

XXVV, that's a nice tome.
I was recalling my experience with the winner of the Northern California Architecture award for that year in the field of high density apartment complexes. I was the builder. They were the prize winners. They billed me for $25,000 back in 1985 money for being asked to explain parapets that seemed to hang in mid-air, parapets that they didn't see in their plans. You probably know that the connection of various units don't actually connect properly when there are 350 units of them. So we called them "the in the air a bit parapets." I thought it the absolute excess of hubris that they actually had the gall to charge me for a possible breach of contract had I actually built them. Anyone contracting with the bank investors knew they were required to build "as per plan." Those are words that stand up in court. You can take your "Teen Spirit" oops, team spirit and pound dirt. I billed the esteemed winner $25,000 for pointing out the FLAW and they never bothered me again. So stick up for your trade if you want to, but I'm never going to be a fan.
And just for name dropping references, my grandfather was the city engineer for Berkeley, Oakland, and San Rafael California. He worked with frank lloyd wright. Frank gave my grandmother the right to live at vikingsholm emerald bay for that relationship.
My nephew got a full boat ride to MIT in architectural engineering. He went back there to get his Masters too. I went to his graduation. I'm still the smartest a-hole in the room. So don't try to cheer lead your grand expression of existence to me. I'm a dyed in the wool, life long cynic. I will never come around to architects do impeccable work.

I assure you that chewing up architects for a living was the national pastime for me. But that is another story. Here's the dirty little secret. County inspectors or rejects from architect's school who think they are qualified engineers. And architects themselves are lazy intellectuals that think they can bluff their way through their own mistakes. Here's the professional secret. When they charge you to fix their F-Ups, you charge them right back for the same amount, for pointing them out in the first place. It doesn't completely suck to be the builder in charge.
Better try a new metaphor bub.

Your explanation is a great example of pragmatism based on current state observation.
Here's an opportunity for you. When a column and a dozen both sleep at the same time you have an occurrence of the same 16 numbers hitting while the situation continues. You can place 4 corner bets or 8 split bets to cover these 16 numbers.
