Roulette Playing day after day and breaking even. Not good?

    If I have a method and I break even (or close to it) MANY times over but still ahead from other winning days, thats great (imo).

    Meaning (example).....

    11 winning days
    2 losing days
    7 break even days

    To me, those are great stats. Too many players view those break even days as, "I didn't win so dont play that method anymore". I call that type of logic BS. If I play (at a B&M), for seven hours and BREAK EVEN, cool with me. Would I of preferred a winning day? Well of course but I''m battling 5.26%, I can accept breaking even.

    Thoughts?

    Those are great stats for my way too. I can lose 1000 with my buy in amount. I have never done that in practice. I do range from 3 spins to 100 spins to get to my win goal, "in Practice." I have enough playing experience to know the difference between practice and real. I've taken my methods into a casino and had them work exactly the same. But what I do now is just "three and out." It's a very well known and published method. What's different is my skill at reading randomness. I use three and out in order to beat my own human nature. It's just like Ken says. It's good enough.

    Gizmo,

    You only play for three spins? That's absurd!

    FYI, scared money never wins!

    You really are a dolt.

    I play for a net win of three, where it takes from 3 to 100 spins that will probably occur. With ten dollar chips that's $240 per bet. I only have an eight lost bet bankroll. So that's around $2,000. Each won session is $360. If I were in search of new biased wheels I'd rather work for McDonald's.

    Yep, this is something I have thought over for years. As I get older, start losing attention, start to lose desire.....fuck it, "its good enough". Time to eat and head home (or a couple beers). We *ALL* have different net goals at the casino.

    As I have said, mine is 1.5 of a gross win, done. It sounds like a little but its actually MORE than 20%.

    Many times I hit my GOAL in under 30 minutes, DONE. Pit hates it because my buy in "takes up time" and now they feel I just wasted MORE of their precious time. (lol)

    Gizmo,

    It sounds like you're playing to lose less.

    I play to win as much as possible. I wouldn't cross the street for only three friggin units! I play to win several hundred or thousands of units.

    I play to win every session. Each spin has a 64% chance of winning. I play 24 units at a time, one unit for each number bet. You do know that your brain is really a bad deal for you don't you? You have almost no capacity to listen. I would not go for three units either. But that is not the case. Did you listen to that? I would try to get into a home if I were you. Good Luck.

    Gizmo,

    No successful player plays with only a 24 unit bankroll. That's absurd. Variance, even with a healthy edge, is often in the 400 unit range and much higher if you have only a small edge.

    No wonder you have such bizzare system beliefs. You haven't played much.

    So you have confirmed your troll-craft. Big deal. Try 24 units, $5 units that is, times eight tries. You do the math. Those are $120 bets to win $60 on each win. They have a 64% chance of winning. So the real question is why are you such a dumb bunny? We all get trolling. Is that all you are good for?

    Scared rock climbers eat shit.
    Scared extreme skiers are as "dead as Fred."
    Scared extreme SCUBA divers drown.
    Scared pilots end up killing everyone.
    The list keeps going and going.

    You really owe it to yourself to not be a wussy.
