    It's what I do. I only do it when it looks good, but only rarely. Here's one I never shared before. You try to get a single dozen two in a row and let the first winner ride. So a stack of chips becomes three. You let that ride and they become 9 stacks in just two spins. Obviously you are hunting a single dozen, (any specific 12 numbers), to repeat while you are down on the first hit.

    It's dozen repeaters for those addicted to hot number chasing. Only you hunt these double repeat kind of repeaters like Whack a Mole. Where's Turbo when you need him?

    Spike, in the past you said you devised your own game to use for playing the EC's. Can you be more specific? Is it a tic tac toe thing, or a Monopoly board game race thing, a dice throw arrangement, a Turbo stlye horse race thing, or something else?

    I prefer the horse race over a rolling 5 events, with restart when two or more EC's are tied at 4.

    Would be interested to hear what you consider a usable game for EC bet selection.

    It mostly involves having my own specific rules for when to bet and when not to bet and having my own specific way of recording the outcomes so I can see what's going on without having to give it much thought. Recording the outcomes is very important cuz you don't have much time in a brick-and-mortar casino for original thinking, and online you have no time at all. I only have 20 seconds to record the spin and decide what my next bet is and place the bet, all in 20 seconds.

    Curious to know what denomination chips you’re using?

    We know you like to take your one unit profit and leave.
    In order for me to play your way, I have to use purple ($500) chips. Anything less than less than is not worth it.
    Possibly even use blacks ($100) chips but I would have to press it.

    winning one black chip a day isn’t much if you’re depending on roulette as your main source of income.

    I would never get myself in that position where I had to depend on roulette for my income. I have a comfortable monthly goal and I play towards that goal everyday.

    I'm never going to answer questions that are exacting about the money I bet. Here's why. Years ago I was testing the air ball roulette because a casino employee told me it was fixed. So I was betting the minimum of $1. If the minimum had been $0.10 that's what I would have bet because I was testing it. Johno got ahold of this information and now throws it in my face every chance he gets saying I'm nothing but a cheap-ass $1 bettor and he ignores whatever explanation that I have. So if you think I'm going to be stupid enough to ever tell anybody how much I bet, think again. BTW, the air ball machine was fixed, it's nothing but a glorified slot machine programmed to pay out a certain amount of money so it always makes a profit. It can place the ball surgically into any section it wants by controlling the speed of the wheel and the speed of the ball. I have not seen one of those machines for years around here because people eventually caught on and stopped playing.

    Also, how many people here actually discuss the dollars and cents of what they bet. Not many. It's nobody's business but theirs.

    Your title should read, "Don't ask me anything about betting the EC's, because I'm not going to answer your question"

    Except I do and have answered questions, just about every one asked of me. Almost nobody answers exacting questions about how much money they bet. We prefer to talk in terms of units, you can fill in the blanks yourself. You have absolutely no need to know how much I bet and I have no need to know how much you bet. We are only interested in units won or lost.

    This is really the only let it ride worth making. I messed around with this years ago but in a brick-and-mortar casino it just takes too long. I'm going to look into this again playing online. I can do two singles in a row using both dozens and columns pretty easily. There will be bet selection errors but playing this way is very forgiving. The trifecta is doing it three times in a row but that can be problematic.

    As a side note, letting it ride was the most common way of playing in Europe 150 years ago. It gave you the best chance to get the biggest return on your small bankroll and everybody did it. It would even pay off sometimes if you could convince the croupier that you actually placed the bet because there would often be two or three other people claiming they did. What fun that must have been.

    Remember that trick with two dozens we talked about in private? Do that and go after two in a row with that trick. Also don't share it with the world. It's too good. There must be at least some things left for them guessing. I'm not kidding. They will believe that.

    So why aren't you flush with cash then??

    Maybe you another in a long list of posters on this site, Alfred, Daniel, where money doesn't matter, just knowing you can beat the game is all the matters LMAO

    I always thought if you learned to beat the game, you'd always have money and you could afford to buy unexpired cans of food...Silly me/..

    Or not be that concerned that the head and tail of a fish is not edible when deciding whether to buy it or not.

    Unfortunately pet food is one of the canned items that does not store well. If you keep it much beyond the expiration date there's a chance that it will go bad because
    the government guidelines for making canned pet food are not as rigorous as they are for making human food so sometimes errors are made and nobody cares because it's pet food. Also you cannot buy expired cans of anything, cans that are expired or are about to expire are pulled off the shelf. So implying that I buy expired cans of anything is ridiculous.
