    When you do not have a winning method or strategy you are playing against the casino. When you do have a winning method or strategy you have beaten the casino and you are now playing against yourself. The casino is not going to make any mistakes, but you can make plenty of them. This is why after all these years I've narrowed it down to the KISS method, Keep It Simple Stupid. Get one unit ahead and get the hell out. Leaves very little room for human error, exposes my bankroll to the casino for the shortest time possible. No matter how smart I think I am or how well I have trained myself roulette can still turn on a dime and screw you for the next 45 minutes if you get greedy. Some people like that, I do not. I quite literally have a ton of other things to be doing then playing this ridiculously stupid game. I only do it for the money so why would I have any interest in staying in it one second longer than I have to.

    When I was in college I had a job working third shift in a factory on the clean-up crew. An 8-hour shift 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. I could usually get my entire job done by 4 a.m. so I would spend three hours in the basement hidden away doing homework. The boss usually went home at 2 a.m. Why would I spend 8 hours doing a job I could get done in 5 hours. I feel the same way about roulette. Why have a goal I could spend an hour achieving, when I can achieve the same goal with one win. Unless you're a pathological gambler, it's the only way of playing that makes sense.

    What if you just bet on Black until you get one unit ahead? Arent you almost guaranteed to always manage 1 net win anyway? The only question is how big the bankroll needs to be, Im thinking more than 20 units.

    The gas stations and supermarkets around here take $1 units. All day long. Even take a $20 unit and give you change.

    What a moronic post. You do know there is a cashier at the casino where you can convert the chips to legal tender, otherwise known as cash.

    I guess you have never had a win so it's not something you know about.

    Your comment carries as much relevance as Nathan Detroit's.

    Surprised you didn't find a way to relate it to "reading randomness" like you do in every thread.

    You are a trend yourself.
    I'd suggest genital transformation through chemical castration followed by a cranial rectal inversion procedure under general anesthesia to reverse the deformity.

    I'd recommend the same procedure for yourself in a third world country, but there's nothing to castrate and I would forgoe the anesthesia in your case, not that you need it because the cranial mass is oh so tiny compared to the size of the asshole.

    TwoUp, -- you are programable.

    Back to Roulette. Your objection precludes the admission that you can't read randomness and make it work for you. Attacking the messengers will not make you look smart. It will not make the skill and method required for it to work go away. You don't need to protect the gullible from being scammed. You don't need to troll the thread to get your kicks. There is too much evidence that it all comes down to the skills developed in the effort applied by anyone willing to do the work in the first place. You lack all that but still want to be regarded as knowing. They call it "fake news." You are a drive by gambling expert. You think you know but you don't care if you do or not as long as you get to pose as a gambling expert.

    I've never read your thread and never intend to because it's basically an oxymoron. But you trample on every thread with your off topic reading random nonsense.

    Random has a very strict definition and you cannot "read" randomness either. I've been working with randomenss, entropy and cryptography most of my working life and hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars have been secured using transaction systems where I had to ensure random actually means random, not some hand wavey gambling phallacy (pun intended) idea of random.

    If a random stream is not truely random and has any discernable or predicative patterns then the information rate is lower than the Shannon Entropy metric and such a stream can be compressed by removing the redundancy and exploiting the patterns. Take all that out and the result is a true random stream of information where each every bit represents pure information.

    True random cannot be compressed as it represents pure information with no reducundancy, no patterns there is no predictability other than obeying statistical characteristics that all randomness must obey to be called random (otherwise it wouldn't be random).

    So reading randomness cannot ever offer anything of value more than reading tealeaves can or seeing animal shapes in clouds, and that is precisely what you're doing.

    This is so wonderful. You used your qualifiers and your integrity to establish what is commonly believed and assumed what randomness is. Based on that assumption you believe you already know all there is to know about Reading Randomness. This thread and the original Reading Randomness thread are about the same thing. I call guys like you mathZombies. You are in for a huge awakening. I wrote the RR thread to trash those assumptions that keep you in such high standing. They will have to rewrite all the textbooks. The academic world will one day peer review this discovery. It's just my intuition on this but I think all research experiments validated by probability inferences and assumptions of validity will all need to come back under review. There is a layer of confirmation bias that you have no clue that exists. You've heard of actuary tables for determining insurance valuation? Yep, all that will need to consider the implications of Reading Randomness in their validated conclusions.

    But don't worry. You already know all you need to know and there is no way that you need to investigate what has freely been shared. I posted it all in the wide open just like they use to do back in the days of academic openness. Sneaking up behind you is the truth and when enough people exploit this you will find yourself on the side of the flat earth believers. I did it this way because I like validation through actual peer review. In this case the peers are fellow gamblers that don't actually care much about what you think.

    Stay blind. Stay as cool as you think you are.

    Good thing roulette is not dealing with true random then, huh. It's dealing with the kinda sorta random you get with a roulette wheel and 37 or 38 pockets. The result is hardly true random, but it's random enough for the casinos purposes. And it's code is easily broken if you know what you're doing. Which you obviously do not, but that's fine, you seem deliriously happy in your ignorance. Very entertaining.

    He does seem happy with himself. He's got all those badges. He's like that Zen guy at the top of the mountain handing down witty zingers to impressionable neophytes.
