The board is excellent.

Most of the people here understand gambling or at least contribute in a positive way. 

I said most, not all.  At least it is a much higher majority as compared to the other boards that a pretty much all 'consumerish' when talking about gambling. 

I think we all need to contribute something here.  It cost Vic $$$ for time and equipment and there is not much return for him.  Something guys?!!!!!

Let's call March pledge month and send our pledges in by the first week of April......

I hope the majority of you are with me, thanks for your time.

I pledge $50.00.

Quote. Math will not tell you when a favorable coincidence will take place. So math must be left behind for coincidence. The key to winning is in exploiting the coincidences that occur everyday in casinos.

Exactly, 1,000% something that many and I mean the highest majority will never understand or subscribe to.  See it all the time, and although--different aspects occur all the time, they leave all those calculating whatever it was they were in bewilderment!  Spot on!

Wow!  BMW makes cars, too!  That's great.

Nice!  All the more reason Vic should step up and make sure we all have BMW's!

Yep, I was going to ask for a Ferrier or a Maserati but I know Vic's a little tight right now, so I toned it down!!   

Scratch the Cognac, you owe me a BMW, any model, 2016 or newer.  Thanks. 

Don't you offer cases of Louis the 13th?? (Cognac)

In fact, I asked the other 6 people here.  4 are younger and internet tech hounds and 2 about my age, half way done with life, LOL.  The 2 my age say they hate it and turns them off.  The other 4, 3 say they cannot stand it and about the same as me, only if they absolutely have to read something and the other one has no problem with it.  But he is a slow poke and takes an hour do drink a cup of coffee anyway. LOL...

So darn annoying!  I will NOT read anything like those any longer, perhaps something really super interesting or something I have to, but out of 100 things I would have opened, probably will not 90-95 from now on.

I am extremely curious as to why so many of the internet news stories load their pages 'horizontal' instead of the always 'vertical' way.  Used to be, all stories loaded and you just paged down to read and did not have to keep clicking to load another page repeatedly.  Now, lots are loading where it appears you kind of move sideways towards the right and you have to go page to page to page.  I generally see that now and just click off.  Yesterday there was a story I just had to read.  Took 24 pages/loads to read the little bit on each page of course.  I can only assume I was registered clicking on their page like 24 or 25 times??  What a pain in the rear!

Looks a bit like Vic @ the chalkboard, huh??

What's The Best Way To Cheat At Roulette?


Roulette is a game in which the casino holds a slight edge over the players. That is, of course, unless the player can figure out a way to cheat the casino. Now, you might be thinking to yourself, "there's no way to rig a game of random chance." And you would be incorrect.

Roulette is different from games such as blackjack in that unless you are committing an illegal act, the house has an advantage.

In blackjack, a player can gain an edge by counting cards. This isn't illegal, but the casino will likely throw a card counter out if caught. Like any business, casinos have a right to refuse service to anyone.

But when it comes to cheating the casino in a game such as roulette, it's a criminal act that will be dealt with in a court of law. That's because card counting can't be proven in court, whereas using one of the cheating methods below, it's very easy to prove.

There are illegal and legal ways players can cheat the casino playing roulette. Let's first take a look at the illegal methods.

Wheel Modification

If you know how to modify a roulette wheel and have the balls to try and pull it off, you can make a whole heck of a lot of money. But you run the risk of spending a significant amount of time in prison, so don't do it.

Cheaters have figured out ways to modify the wheel so that the ball bounces in specific areas, making it easier to predict the outcome of a spin.

Using Magnetic Balls

It doesn't happen very often as it's incredibly difficult to pull off without getting caught, but using magnetic balls would make it nice and easy for the player to win consistently.

However, it's just too much of a risk for most players to even attempt it. The cameras would catch even the sneakiest criminal.

There are a few legal methods for cheating the casino in live roulette but the main one is called "wheel clocking".

This isn't something any ordinary person could pull off. You need to be disciplined, intelligent and able to pay close attention. Basically, the cheater uses electronic devices to store data that makes it possible to time the spin to project the outcome of the spin.

Online Roulette Cheating

Skilled gamblers aren't just able to cheat in a brick-and-mortar casino. Cheating happens quite often at online casinos as well. It's more difficult to pull off but certainly not impossible.

If the online casino uses a random number generator (RNG), it's not possible to cheat the casino. It's basically a slot machine, which can't be beat. That isn't real roulette though.

If your online casino is using an RNG for roulette, find somewhere else to play.

One thing you should be aware of is anyone trying to sell you a book or seminar on how to cheat the online casinos.

There are many scammers out there who claim to have some guaranteed system. The truth that actually the only system they have that's real is taking your money.

Just remember this: If the methods truly did work, no one would share their techniques with anyone else for fear of the online casinos making adjustments.

How Brick-and-Mortar Casinos Protect Themselves


If you've ever walked into a casino, you've probably noticed all the cameras. They are everywhere.

There are dozens of cameras in every casino. On the ceilings and walls, inside slot machines and even built into the tables. Wherever you go, the cameras will follow.

The eyes in the sky are there to ensure you don't try to cheat the house. Cheating in a casino is punishable by law and can land someone in prison for years in nearly every country or state.

The cameras aren't just watching the patrons. They are also watching employees.

Customers aren't the only ones who try to cheat the casino. There are many examples of employees working alongside a customer to gain an edge over the house.

Roulette dealers are required to abide by certain restrictions. They must show the camera they don't have any devices in their hands after each wheel spin. This is done to prove they aren't using any sort of magnetic devices to assist players in cheating.

The cameras also pay close attention to the dealers in order to ensure they aren't stealing chips and the same goes for the players.

How Online Casinos Protect Themselves

Even though it is more difficult to cheat the casino online, these companies take security very seriously. It all starts by having a third-party auditor test the authenticity of the software.

The eyes in the sky online are security software which monitors activity on the website. It would be extremely difficult to rig the outcome of each spin. But not impossible.

Verdict: Is It Possible To Cheat In Roulette?

Cheating happens at online and offline casinos and not just in roulette.

Gamblers attempt to cheat the house in blackjack, poker, sports betting and even slot machines.

It's far more difficult to cheat a casino these days than it used to be. For example, back in the day fake coins were used by cheaters to rig slot machines. Now that coin-operated slot machines are almost non-existent these days, that doesn't happen very often.

In roulette, cheating the casino online is tough to pull off. But it can happen in a brick-and-mortar gambling venue if the cheater is skilled and can find an employee to work in conjunction with.

With that said, trying to cheat the casino is never a smart idea.

First off, it's difficult to accomplish. But even if you know what you're doing, the eyes in the sky will catch you and you'll probably end up in jail. And for what? A few bucks? Don't do it!

We just did a haz-mat spill clean up for a company that spilled 900 gallons of Jet A fuel at their hanger.  I picked up some paperwork by mistake a couple of days ago and saw these figures on a Flacon 50 jet:

200/400 hours per year. 

4 hours a week and 200 per year.  $900,000.00 cost per year
8 hours a week and 400 per year.  $1.4 million cost per year

Good luck, make sure you wager max on Fortune7!

My advise is not to worry about pointing at anybody's virtues or faults. People is smart enough to make-up their own mind about others. Like I just mentioned to a friend: every individual has his/her own ledger. It isn't our business to add or remove from it.

Pretty darn good 'words' for those that would desire to ignore the person vociferating as they walk or run down the street, sit in the casino, adjoin a nearby booth at a restaurant, be occupying the same locker room, or perhaps standing in line behind that person at a retail counter, etc.  Pretty good!

If you have a problem with something on this board, bring it up with Vic "VLS" in private and handle it properly.  If it is with something else, handle it over there with them as well.  That would be the absolute proper way.

Nice in theory and research but absolute unrealistic reality at any table, especially with first wagers of anywhere from $75.00 to $300.00.  Totally unrealistic.
