    I play at home online so I just make small goals everyday. I have a 30-day goal that I work on every day. My intention is always to stay under the radar of the casino. Spread my winnings out over multiple casinos.

    Ok, so you play 3 streams tops or it gets sloppy, that makes sense if you're watching for a number of different patterns.

    I suppose there is a choice to make between 'less streams more patterns' or 'more streams less patterns'.

    I prefer the latter, and I wonder if it would make much difference to accuracy.

    There is a lot to pay attention to. In the casino it's all the distractions and at home it's the extremely limited time limit. I prefer quality over quantity, I don't like missing opportunities

    Let's say you're tracking red and black on roulette.
    And I find this pattern:
    B B R B B R...
    If it's to follow the trend, let's bet on the B, right?
    The question is if R comes, do you think we can follow the "New" streak by betting on R?

    It does not matter what your bet selection is. What matters is exploiting anything that continues. A lost bet selection while using trends for bet selection only means that the trend ended. The continuation ended.

    You get good at stopping the bets when anything ends. No more than one lost bet per condition ending. Now conversely if you win then you must take care to stick to your strategy and play to win one or just a few net wins. All lost bets end at one bet. But not all won bets end at just one win. Once you have that figured out the rest takes care of itself.

    You are hung up on the concept of being a continuous bettor. Once something ends it's over. You stop and look for something else. It's very dangerous to think you know when something is going to morph into something else and you can keep betting. There's a reason I only play for one unit now and that's because playing for more than that is time consuming and a waste of effort. Again, if I want to make $50 why would I do it in $5 increments when I can just bet $50 and quit. Or lose $50 and find bets to make till I'm fifty dollars ahead. I'm there to make my goal absolutely as quickly as possible. I am not there to play continuously, that is for ploppies and gambling addicts. Start out with small goals, make it and stop. Fair warning, it took me years to learn how to do this, it took Gizmo years to do what he does. If you're looking for a quick overnight shortcut, you're in the wrong place. There isn't one. Experience is the best teacher.

    I almost quit about 5 years ago. It was going back to EC's and creating very rigid playing rules that made it work. I always wanted the big monster win streak. Now I just play for no more than three net wins and out. And I really like one net win and gone. Spike is right. ND said it too. If you want more money play with bigger bets. One or two net wins is easy. All you have to do is wait for it to come to you. I like to hit the Roulette table, get my dinger, and then go into the sports bar and have nuclear hot buffalo chicken wings, beer, and catch the comedian or the band.

    The biggest question I always get is you know how to beat roulette how come you're not rich. I constantly hear that. One reason is it was not until my mid-fifties I even started this. By the time I got really good at it I was in my sixties. I don't want to spend the amount of time it would take, and it would take a lot of time, travel, to make enough money where I would be considered rich. It would be just like Blackjack, the casinos won't let you do it. Once they see that you're a consistent winner you're done. The only place Blackjack card counters ever get rich is in the movies like that stupid movie with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. You can make a good living in Blackjack but you're never going to get rich. To do that with this method I have in roulette the bets would have to be huge and that immediately gets you noticed. I would have to sit away from the table wait for my time and make a large bet. Do this a few times at the same Casino and you will be noticed. So that means you have to move around constantly and even then they will find out what you're doing and put the word out just like they do with blackjack players. The whole thing sounded really boring and really tiring to me at my age. If I was 25 it would probably be different. Playing online you really have to be careful because the computer keeps track of everything you do and it's programmed to look out for certain kinds of play.

    One of my big problems has always been that I don't like casinos. At all. I don't like being in them, I don't like the atmosphere, I don't like the smell, I don't like the people who go to casinos. I am enjoying it much more playing online.

    Got the concept.

    "All lost bets end at one bet. But not all won bets end at just one win. Once you have that figured out the rest takes care of itself."


    I'm not looking to earn a lot. I just want to make some extra income playing.

    Thanks SPIKE and GIZMOTRON

    You don't have to use trends for bet selections. I have shown many times that all you need is to observe domineering sides. The reds will stream stronger than the blacks for a while and then it will change sides for another phase for a while. So you learn to flow with the strong side and let the bets drift up and down without any concern. The little bumps don't matter. It's the big waves that exist over time that matters. You use the larger waves to get just a few wins.

    People fail to plan a better life for themselves. If you need $2,000 then you need to find a way to go at the casino 4 to 20 times in order to get it. If it's 20 times then you need to win $100. If it's 4 then you need to win $500. It easiest to win what you need from one net win. You can cut that in half with two net wins. I only need $40 from each session when I'm on the road in my RV. Once this Covid-19 thing is past I will be back on the road. I play two sessions per day at any road trip casino. I get gas for the RV, meals, and casino parking. I'm not a slave to the joneses, the lawn, the pets, the mortgage, the property taxes, mowing and watering lawns, the boring neighborly gettogethers, and the rest of the crap that I use to heap on myself from expectations I once thought were the end all goal of every successful person.



    And if that interests you then look at this:

    Be careful, if you get a reputation for liking us they're going to hate you too just like they hate us. It's funny how much it pisses them off that me and Gizmo get along, they just can't stand it. Why would they care, but they sure seem to.

    It is funny. The best part is that one day they will have to eat a shit sandwich for being sooooooooooo wrong. Thanks a heap for keeping the world flat. This crap is as old as Galileo and what's the center of the universe stuff. Every book on gambling addiction and therapy plans for treating addicted gamblers keeps feeding the same lie that just about everyone thinks is the truth. It's not just in the math world. It cracks me up.

    I have been working on roulette for a little over 1 year, and over time I got a good read, but I had wrong strategies and thoughts. I think that now I am able to see the game in a different way and I am grateful for that.
    I also loved the video and fully agree with the fact that I lead a simple life, but rich in knowledge, travel etc.
    My dream is to visit Las Vegas and I intend to fulfill it soon.

    The casinos are in on the big lie. They say they want you to win , they tell you you're going to win. In all their promos for every casino all they show is people winning. Winning and winning and winning. Winning jackpots on the slots. winning huge amounts at the roulette and craps tables. Super joyful people throwing money up in the air because they just won a new car. They never tell you the truth that the last thing they want is for you to win. They never show people devastated by loss. The whole industry is a lie from top to bottom, that's probably one of the reasons I can't stand going to a casino. Like I said I'm no gambler and I only went because my wife wanted to go. if I let her go by herself she would have spent three times as much money. I remember one time in the 90s she was playing the $0.25 slots back in the days before they had paper tickets. I have like a 90 minute drive to get home and it was getting later and later cuz she wouldn't leave because she wanted to win her money back. Got to be 1 a.m. she still wouldn't leave so I grabbed her bucket of quarters which is about a quarter full there had to be $10 worth of quarters in there anyway. And I threw it against the slot machine next to her and it exploded in quarters. She had to get down on her hands and knees to pick up all her quarters. Man she was pissed, but you know what. She left didn't speak to me the whole way home which is a godsend. Why don't women think that's punishment. That's one of the many reasons why I don't like casinos. What they do to people. Now somebody will say, looks like your wife has a gambling problem. No kidding, what was your first clue.

    A phrase that I admit is not easy to put into practice, but it is a life goal:
    When you receive an offense, it is up to you to decide if you are going to take offense. If you hit back, you justify the other person's offense. Keep your integrity. The offense is a personal failure of the offender.

    I am yes.

    “Having wisdom is seeking knowledge not to be better than others, but to be the best you can be for yourself. Being humble is admitting and accepting that others have more competence than you, however, seek to learn more each day drawing lessons from both failures and victories."
