allow me to help you out with that
first you look at the last 100 spins - the results
then you write down all the times it came even with a red pen
then you write down all the times it came black with a black pen
then you write down all the times it came high - with a green pen
and then you look at which even chances hit the most because maybe they're streaking - or maybe some hit very seldom and that means that they're due to come
then you think about playing some inside numbers
that part is very tricky because under no circumstance do you ever play inside numbers
then you look at what you have written down
and you just know what the next even chance will be - you're going to hit it 80% of the time for a 56% edge
even though if you hit it 80% of the time that would actually be a 60% edge
unless you decided to play the inside numbers which you never do
I hope that's helpful

You don't get it. The game of random bets against random outcomes is negative EV, my game is positive EV. I'm really tired of explaining that. The exact same thing happened in blackjack it was a negative EV game as long as you made random bets against the random outcomes. Now you can scream all you want that blackjack is not random and I will post 25 different facts and opinions that it very much is random. When card counters started making educated non-random bets they changed the EV to their favor. This is not rocket science. It might be a different kind of random than roulette, but random Is random.

To follow EvenBob's Method, you first need to discover EvenBob's method, which most of us are too lazy to do. How do you discover the method? Well, Evenbob has described what he does over thousands of posts over a decade. Reprise all of his posts. Hang on his every word. Distill the very essence of what he describes. Then start again, because in all his description you have ZERO to go on. If you think you see an insight, be sure that you have missed the post where he contradicts that insight.
Then start again again. EvenBob won't give you anything until you have wasted as much of your time as he has. Develop your own Method. Ask evenbob if you are on the right track..... 'No'
Then start again again again. Evenbob will love your dedication and will encourage you to try it for real. Take it to the casino. LOSE your shirt. EvenBob can they say "Yes. that happens: All part of the learning curve. Carry on"
Then start again again again.
Hunker down and huddle over your notes and records. Concentrate dammit, until it all starts to become clear.
Take it to the casino again. Lose another shirt. Ask evenBob why?
"Obviously you are learning as I learned. Keep studying and you will get there."
By now, you may have aged by a decade and still, somehow, you just can't hit an 80% hit rate. Rome wasn't built in a day, how well are you doing so far? "Well, I have managed a 48% hit rate on the even money bets"
"There you are! 48% is great. You just need another 32% to be as good as EvenBob. Just a few tweaks and you will be there. You're already way over half way there"
Hunker down, squander another decade, until you are seeing odd/even/red/black/high/low in every thought you make.
Get in the elevator and all the buttons fit into patterns. See a phone number and reds and blacks/odds and evens pop in your head. You start to go insane.
By now, you are 16 years into your quest. Visit evenbob in his cats nursing home, Express your exasperation and say "FFS Bob. I spent 16 years of my life and never found any way of making a profit or hitting 80% hit rate. I lost my shirt. I lost all my money. No-one wants to know me. I'm a pariah in the wagering community, how the hell did you do it?"
"Exactly the same as you did, sonny. Welcome to my world"
"My work is done. Now go out and do like I did. That will be the nearest you get to revenge"

card counters know that when there were many more high cards than low cards left to be played gambling experts showed them how that means that they had a small edge if they played their hand in accordance with analysis recommended by experts
what you do is not even remotely similar to that
in blackjack the future is influenced by the past
in roulette the future is not influenced by the past
no matter how many time you clownishly post that it is - it just isn't
you can keep posting your garbage for 25 more years

It took a computer to confirm card counting was possible, why do you think they choose Blackjack and not roulette or some other game? Because it makes sense that card counting was possible. They just needed something to confirm it.
Fast forward to 2023 where we now have super duper computers in the palm of everyone's hands. There's been some smart people attempting to crack roulette on even better computers and yet no one has.
But you want us to believe you did it using some chicken scratch filled notebooks with subpar math abilities. C'om on bro.

Taking it to the extreme
If you take a deck of cards, and record the first 51 cards dealt, you know,with 100 % certainty what the remaining card is.
If you track 51 spins at roulette, you know that the next spin will be red, green or black.
Only a very foolish person will try to equate the two.
Cards removed from the blackjack deck change the ratio of the cards. When more good cards remain, counters increase their bets
Previous roulette wheel spins do nothing to change the ratio of the wheel for the next spin. I'd assume anyone with a fifth-grade education would understand the difference.
The difference between a system and a method is simple. A system has rules you have to follow and will inevitably fail.
With a method, you sort of have a plan, but it is flexible and a sharp eyed observers will adapt on the fly. If you squint real hard, and cherry pick the results, you too can claim success without offering any proof.

EB has already supplied his winning system.
Find something that is only in his head. Then let the thoughts influence the outcome.
The obvious outcome is that like his choices to wager and his patterns he sees are only in his head, so are his winnings.
It's like trying to argue with a schizophrenic that the "real" person he is arguing with on his left isn't there.
It's real to him. And in fact he is probably wondering if you are the fake person.

The simplest explanation is the sunk cost fallacy.
In EvenBob's mind, he HAS to be winning, otherwise the last twenty years and thousands of hours spent playing roulette and arguing with people online will have been a total waste of time and money.
He's too far down the rabbit hole and it defines his life now; if he let it go, it would cause a complete breakdown of everything he believes in.

Of course this only works for extremely short periods of time, it's totally unreliable for anything more than a couple of bets. But a couple of bets is all you need to make a profit. This flies in the face of what 'gambling' is supposed to involve, sitting and playing and playing and playing and then playing some more. This is the much vilified Hit and Run that any math person will tell you just doesn't work. Not only does it work it works extremely well if you know how to use it properly. The fly and the ointment is you have to constantly start over looking for a new opportunity and that's a huge amount of work that most people just don't want to do. It's not fun and if playing isn't fun they want nothing to do with it.

That's nonsense, of course, just as is the entirety of your post. Let me rework that for you in 'real univers speak'
"Of course this doesn't work, even for extremely short periods of time, it's totally unreliable for anything. Winning bets are all you need to make a profit. This is just 'gambling'.

Among the dozen or so posters, is there anyone on this thread who actually believes that EB believes he has ‘paid his bills’ for the last 20 years using his roulette winnings? He can’t be insane enough to not know that it is his social security check that is doing so.
Why would anyone think EB actually believes what he posts? I mean, seriously, it is so far from even reasonable that no one could possibly believe virtually anything he writes (about gambling).
I believe EB just enjoys posting nonsense, and has done so for decades. I DO NOT believe for ONE SECOND that he actually believes he pays his bills from any gambling related activity.
I do believe he owns cats and cooks. And that he voted for Obama.

The wheel has no memory at all, every outcome is unique and separate from the last outcome.
It not only works, it works extremely well if you have the proper bet selection. The big mistake is thinking that you can get more mileage out of it than just a couple of bets. If there was a secret, that would be it. Getting in and getting out and moving on. There's an old saying in games of chance. Get in, get it done, get out. Whoever originally said that knew what the hell they were talking about. Just like I know what I'm talking about.

Yes he can.

He is not insane, but he's telling us untruths
He's telling us the truth.
Nobody here is insane enough to believe that latter option.
I've wrestled with this one. For a long time I thought he was just being mischievous, enjoying the sparring with those who engaged with him. But I'm fast coming around to the decision that he really needs to believe that nonsense. With a squint and a forgiving perception, he can see only the winnings and delude* himself about all the losses.Quote: SoopooWhy would anyone think EB actually believes what he posts?

Regardless of what he believes, he obviously gets some satisfaction sparring here. But with his ridiculous posts he's less like the boxer, and more like the punchbag. Still, whatever floats his boat.
*Delude. Yes. I'm saying his perception is flawed. I believe that is a consequence of the insanity inducing amount of wasted study and note taking that he sunk so much of his life into. He cannot NOT believe he's a winner, because if he isn't a winner, then he's much more of a loser than the average gambler.

Since you ask, I visualise heckling a really, REALLY, bad stand up comedian. But he just won't admit defeat, and bow out with a bit of grace regardless of the booing crowd. Some in the crowd hang around waiting for the finale, but it never comes.Quote: EvenBobQuote: OnceDearYou've distilled everything you've ever posted

Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.

You seem to be suggesting that evenbob is either insane or that he is lying? Is that the intention?Quote: SOOPOOHe can’t be insane enough to not know that it is his social security check that is doing so.
Because we see the best in eachother and don't want to believe that he is a liar. But the options are few.Quote:Why would anyone think EB actually believes what he posts? I mean, seriously, it is so far from even reasonable that no one could possibly believe virtually anything he writes (about gambling).
What, like some kind of troll?Quote:I believe EB just enjoys posting nonsense, and has done so for decades.
Quote:I DO NOT believe for ONE SECOND that he actually believes he pays his bills from any gambling related activity.
So you believe he is lying? Trying to get others to believe his claims? He has more chance of knitting fog.
But, why would he lie so unbelievably. He could tell small or believable lies. Why would he tell one that is so beyond belief.
Those who lie so repetitively into the face of so much derision, must have some strange characteristics.

Once in awhile you actually stumble onto a salient point. I'm obviously not a moron so why would I make up something like this when there are so many better things that I could be making up if that's what I was doing. It makes no logical sense. And for such a long period of time, almost 20 years. If I'm doing it for kicks and grins that obviously would have worn off about 19 and 1/2 years ago. So the only alternative is, I'm not making it up. Duh

Actually the "Big lie" is always one people tell. Small lies wouldn't have been worth your 20 years of crap.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

That might be true for people that have something to gain monetarily or as a position in a corporation, but I have nothing to gain. I can't imagine anything more boring or ridiculous than telling something like this for 20 years if it wasn't true. It would be pointless and I don't have any time to spend on things that are pointless.

No, that's just a silly saying that was attributed to Albert Einstein who never actually said it. The real definition of insanity is 'not understanding the nature or quality of your actions'. Believe me I totally understand the quality and nature of my actions and I totally understand when the casino pays me for them. lol

Because you've brainwashed yourself. Like I said earlier, sunk cost fallacy.
You're 20 years into the delusion of a winning system; your brain literally can't break away now -- "It doesn't make sense that I could be wrong, because that would mean the last 20 years of my life were a lie, and I can't deal with that being the truth, so I will continue to lie to myself."

link to original post
Never once have I ever claimed that I paid my bills for the last 20 years from playing roulette. I said I pay them NOW, where you got 20 years from is a mystery. I didn't actually start making real dependable money until they legalized online gambling and I started playing about a year and a half ago. Before then it was hit and miss I had to be satisfied with what game the roulette wheel in my local casino was playing.

LOLOLOL!! Who are you, the embodiment of Carl Jung? I've heard some ridiculous over the top theories but this one is right up there. I'm sorry, I'm not in fourth grade anymore, have I mentioned my age to you? Good grief.. Back to the drawing board for you. Maybe I do it because Mom liked my brother more than me. No wait, that's the Smothers Brothers. LOL

It is an ancient Chinese proverb loosely translated it means Insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly but expecting new results.

No it's not, that's not any more true than Albert Einstein said it. After much investigation the earliest this appeared anywhere was at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Tennessee in 1981 where an obviously anonymous woman said this thing almost word for word. She made it up on the spot. It's very cute and it sounds clever but it's not true.

This is not a matter of belief, it's not a religion. It's a matter of proving I don't do it and you can't do that. You can point to the math but for the 100th time that math was derived by using random bets against random outcomes so it doesn't apply to what I do.
