Roulette Basic roulette question

Hey everyone, i've just signed up in order to ask you experts a quick question

I went to a casino for the first time at the weekend, played some roulette and got lucky and did quite well. One strange thing i noticed is two of the tables in the casino had a slightly different board to the others, and they had a square where you could bet on "black and odd" at 3:1 or "red and even" at 3:1 (which makes perfect sense) but these 2 squares also paid out the 0 at 2:1 ... is this normal? Or have i found the only 2 roulette tables in the world that you can legitimately make a fortune on?!

As far as I'm aware i didn't make a mistake, i sat at the table for a good 30-45 minutes betting on "black" & "black and odd" combined, and got lucky and was up. The one time the ball landed on Zero i got paid out 2:1 on my bet on the "black and odd" square.

Just wondering if this is totally normal in casino's, whether i'm missing something really obvious, or whether i should borrow as much money as i possibly can and sit at that table for the next 6 months betting on the "black and odd" square?!

Thanks guys

 

Sounds to me you were on the right side of variance

It could have just as easily been red and even the whole time

I have created 24 number betting systems that have made thousands in profit flat betting every spin for 2 days straight. Then the next day the other 12 hit enough where it tanked me

Variance

Borrow as much money as you can and bet black and odd? That would be the opposite of smart. Please don't do that.

By the way what roulette table is this? And next question: is this a real post or a troll post?

 

I re read it

Gonna lean towards trolling?

 

What I would like to know is why you think betting black+odd at 3/1 and red+even at 3/1 makes perfect sense.
Suppose you put £1 on 11,13,15,17,29,31,33,35 and one of those hit. You would get back £36 including your £1 stake.
Same goes for betting 12,14,16,18,30,32,34,36. You would get back £36 including your £1 stake.
If you put the £8 on one of the 3/1 chances instead of betting on the numbers, how much are you getting back?
£32 by my reckoning. The question you need to ask yourself is 'does getting paid 2/1 if the 0 appears instead of half your stake back compensate for the £4 shortfall you would get when one of your numbers hits'

 

100% legitimate question, and I fully understand variance but thank you for the guide buddy!

Ah. well this answers my question! I assumed (wrongly) that 1/4 of the table was black/odd, 1/4 black/even, 1/4 red/odd, 1/4 red/even. I didn't realise there were 10 red/odd, 8 red/even, 8 black/odd, 10 black/even. I figured I'd made a pretty basic error somewhere and this explains it. Cheers, I shall continue pursuing a regular career and leave the professional gambling for now!

 

i wasnt trying to be a jerk

i thought you were just a newbie. when i was a newbie i thought the james bond method was good

then i thought you could be a troll because a lot of those are here on this unregulated forum

but in the event you are being serious, please do not do that. you will lose.

you might win a lot but it will crumble

and what roulette tables has the bets you speak of? and why would you bet black AND black/odd at the same time?

or you are a troll/dual poster who has extra time on their hands lol

 

It's this simple, you can't hedge a negative expectation game and turn it into a positive one. For example, betting on the red while splitting the zeros, or betting both red and black. It's pointless.

The more random numbers on which you bet, the more you will lose. Betting 24 numbers is foolish. It merely ensures that you will lose even more money to the house over time and any lucky wins that you do have will be paltry.

 

This is an amazing bet! Didn't know such a bet exists. Yes, I believe with a decent progression you can make good money on this bet.
The poster above me doesn't even know what he's talking about (betting 24 numbers etc. is completely irrelevant)
Good luck!

In and of itself a bet is a bet

But what OP is stating he would like to do makes it a bad bet

If you like playing black and odd be my guest. No one should tell you how to play

But red and even will come heavy at some point

Never borrow money or put your eggs in one basket with a casino game. That's asking for trouble


Dr sir anyone is an advantage player who believes be beats the wheel so he will never ever level with a strategy so you can take his words with a grain of salt. Very few people play AP or care about it

AP players experience the same ups and downs everyone does. I'd bet a good majority of them win due to luck/variance being on their side

 

Ghost,

As naive as you you are, you're going to have some hard years ahead of you.


For now you should really make an effort to stay out of the casino.

 

Don't tell people what they should or shouldn't do. You are an internet voice which is meaningless.

I enjoy the casino win or lose. Unlike you I have fun. I don't play for a living.

I'm not one of your fan boys like Mr J.

Rough years ahead? Says who? Playing a hundred bucks here and there for a fun night out?

For now, you should really make an effort to shut the fuck up.

 

Based on your attitude, I'm guessing that you're now beginning to realize that none of your systems actually work.

I suspect your next system will be based on "hitting and running" while trying to win just one unit a day.

 

Based on your attitude, I'm guessing you care too much about what other people do.

No matter what I use or how I play this game it will always be just a game.

 

I have said this to him many times. He feels he can (or has already) jump straight into "the" knowledge. He does not belong on a thread answering roulette questions to other members. I still read his stupid shit over at RF.

RG, you are still stuck in a CERTAIN phase. Thats not an insult (per say), its simply an observation.

Put aside what you think you know. Am I on Caleb's level? No but I'm certainly no where near your goofy old worn out ideas.
