I just realized something. The house edge is exactly the same. If you win, you win 2 units but always sacrifice 1, with a probability of 24/38. If you lose, you lose 2 units with a probability of 14/38. So the house advantage equals:
((24/38) * 1) - (14/38) * 2))/2= -0.0526 . Which is the usual house advantage of 5.26 percent. Why won't they let me do this??

I'm very, very, sure.


But it makes no sense, every betting space on the felt is allowed,
how could it not be.

Thats a bit too odd for me. I mean, who cares?

If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. Playing at the casino doesn't make you a pro any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. I prefer to be hated for telling the truth, than loved for telling a lie. No person has yet convinced me that their way of playing roulette is better than my way. Winners have simply formed the habit of doing things roulette AP players don't like to do. I'm sure AP (roulette) worked just fine back in 1923. Gambler's Fallacy is a term coined by unsuccessful gamblers to validate their reasons for losing. 5.26%, so what?......I get taxed everyday. Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it. Bad news.....throwing in the towel after spending a TOTAL of 9 hours on roulette does NOT mean you can't be successful with it. Don't let the '2+2 will never equal 5' crowd bring you down. TRIAL & ERROR guys, I can't say it enough! When you're finished changing, you're finished.

More than likely it's because you weren't betting the table min. on both columns, otherwise they would have let you bet that way.

They were 2 of the 3 dozens. Yes, it is a common bet, that's discussed in many betting guides, but the Hollywood Casino in Charles Town WVa refused to allow me to make the bet. I'm very, very, sure.


How incredibly strange. I always bet two columns when I'm playing Roulette. That's how James Bond played it, too.
