How hard is it to win on roulette

Scroll to see replies

Don't play roulette unless you are playing for fun, and that money is disposable income that you can afford to loose and don't mind loosing, ...because the house always has an edge,

me and my mates went to a casino once, they played some games [I didn't play anything], and one guy actually came out with a lot more money than he initially put down. He claimed to have a "system" ...and at the time I sorta believed there might be something to it .....but really ...at the end of the day, dude was just lucky....

the house always has better odds...

I think people who are gambling on the money they need to live, are perhaps desperate for money and probably a bit ill informed too [and think they are special, or have a system, or just do not know the house has an edge]

The edge always prevails in the end.

I once flipped a coin 100 times and recorded the results. I was curious, am I really going to get 50/50 on both heads and tails?

early on when flipping ... tails was in the lead by a few. by time I had got to around 20 coin clips tails had a comfortable lead by about 6. I started thinking to myself ... i'm going to get to 100 coin flips and tails is going to be waaay ahead.

I kept flipping and flipping and eventually tails lead grew to about 8
I think by around 50 coin flips heads was just 4 behind.

by time I reached 100 coin clips heads had 49 and tails 51.
That's pretty accurate seeing as I was suppose to get 50/50


I tried this with pieces of paper too. I wrote "WIN" on 6 bits of paper. and "LOSS" on 4 bits of paper and put it into a cup. So I had a 60% chance of winning and a 40% chance of loosing. Then I closed my eye's, shook the cup, and picked out a pieces of paper, recorded the results, and repeated till I reached 100.

"LOSS" was actually in the lead up until about 20 pieces of paper had been picked. The statistical advantage of "WIN" did not start to show itself until after about 20 tries ......but then WIN always remained in the lead, up until 100. and I can't remember the exact results but it was in the margin of error for randomness.

The point even I will not tell you in investing money. And not in their quantity. The main thing is how a person treats this in view of the game. I personally get a great opportunity to earn in casino online . And to me, like everyone, it brings great pleasure. It is necessary to be able to combine useful with pleasant

why are you guys still playing casino games and wasting your hard earned cash when you KNOW the odds are against you.

Casino's are able to make MILLIONS of pounds because they have the odds stacked slightly in their favour. You are not going to beat a casino long term playing their games.

These games are created by smart people to extract money from stupid people.

betting shops, slot machines, lotteries ...etc

someone with a brain has come in and realised how to literally make people GIVE them money.

stop trying to beat casino's ...and either engage in an activity where YOU can obtain an edge ...or save your money for work/school/kids/entertainment or something ...and stop letting yourself be robbed......

Because its addictive? The idea you're sold is that you're 1 bet away from a fortune, of course that sucks you in and helps make you an addict

I've never won on roulette, but recently I won my first cash prize at online casino. That was awesome! I found list of reliable casinos with great bonuces and decided to try my luck! I never thought it could be so entertaining, I'm going to continue playing

That’s good you won just don’t get addicted

There have been a few mathematicians who have figured a way out to stack the odds in their favour. Not something the casino will look favourably on. Think the original one is teaching at Oxford now.


Not in roulette, at least, not on computerised methods, other than if there was a noticeable 'bias' in the wheel caused by a defect - in practise, in modern casinos this can never happen, as the casino use computerised methods themselves to analyse their wheels and any defective ones are quickly taken out of service.

It is possible to card-count in blackjack and gain a statistical advantage, using computers and of course casinos look for these and throw anyone out who is attempting to deploy them.
