What? You can flat bet all the numbers every spin and make a killing. Another misunderstood wager?

The non-boosted inside bet single numbers pay 29:1. Other inside bets also pay short.

Ah, i see. So it's a sucker version then, probably adds to the HA on the inside bets overall?
Don't beat yourself up over past mistakes, you are going to f*** up again in the future, quite possibly in the most spectacular fashion, why worry about yesterday's f*** up's when you have tomorrow's f*** up's to look forward to? You are a f*** up, and f***** up is part of your growth process, embrace the process.

He refused to say actual dollars amount.

Some crap about no one believing him.

He insists on using the term units.

. This he has been clear about. He bets one unit to win one unit because he only bets on ‘even chance’ bets. He has also said if he loses the first bet he does NOT martingale, but rather, he just wins the next two one unit bets!

Past spins however can influence your opinion of what might happen in future spins. Let me give you an extreme example. The wheel just produced 25 Reds in a row. Would black be a good bet at this point even though these are independent events and theoretically the next hundred spins could all be red. Of course black would be a good bet because from personal experience we already know that 25 Reds in a row is a huge anomaly. You can go your entire life and not see it.

Clearly this makes sense to you. You offer it as a hypothetical that you presume we will all agree on. But I don’t agree. After 25, or 100 reds in a row I have no reason to prefer black over red. Independent means just that. If it’s random it’s unpredictable. If it’s predictable it’s not random. That’s why this thread will go on for a few hundred pages. We’ll never see this the same way.

No, I keep betting till I am one unit ahead which could take 3 bets total or five bets total or seven bets total but it never takes more than seven usually and that only happened once.

I play at Bovada everyday but those kind of casinos outside the United States are few and far between. And they use Bitcoin which is a total pain in the ass. All the casinos in Michigan use PayPal with instantaneous deposit and withdraw.

It selects 1 to 5 numbers. Odds on struck numbers can be 50x to 500x. All breakdowns of the game I could find show it is Single 0 Roulette so I would be very interested in a breakdown of EV and if flat betting every number was a good idea.

I don't know how many Bovada-like casinos are out there, I don't even want to guess, but I can probably think of 20 off the top of my head, but I really don't take note to live dealers.

I'm not sure why you think BTC is such a pain in the ass. With such a significant edge, you should only ever have to buy it once. If you don't like the BTC fluctuations, simply convert your Bankroll /cashouts to tether coins or your cash balance... until needed. Use your Michigan profile to pay your bills etc. Use all the other available casinos to rack up savings for whatever you may want.

I have actually never had to buy it even once because when they switched over to bitcoin I already had money in Bovada but every time I want to withdraw money I have to do it in Bitcoin and it's a pain in the ass. Meaning the total process. With PayPal I don't have to do anything and I can even pay my bills with my PayPal debit card which I do.

You can only speak for yourself of course, you weren't speaking for me. I'm really good at knowing when not to bet and occasionally I find a good place to bet and that's what it's all about. The outcomes in roulette move from total chaos into a kind of semi chaos and that's what you have to look for. When its kind of chaotic it can be exploited. Or maybe it's always chaotic and my brain just see's what it considers patterns. Either way it's still exploitable.

Whatever, I'm not going to go through all that just for one casino. I don't play there nearly as much as I used to since Michigan opened up because Bovada only spins 50 outcomes an hour I would prefer the 90 spends an hour I get in the Michigan casinos.

Yet in random outcome games like HoldEm Poker and blackjack ways were found to get around random outcomes and make a profit. Why everybody assumes it can't be done in roulette is a mystery. Yes yes I know they are three entirely different games but so what. Random Is Random. Either you can beat random games or you can't and you obviously can because we know we can do it with poker and blackjack. There are certain places in all these games where they are vulnerable.

I'm really looking forward playing this new wheel tonight because that would give me an extra wheel to look at everyday. I'm not terrifically optimistic but my play now is way more sophisticated than it was 10 years ago the last time I tried an airball wheel. It seems to me their main concern will be on those big payout numbers and not on the even chance outside bets. It had a fair number of people playing it even at 2 in the morning on a Wednesday night. You can tell because a list of winners shows up after every spin and it lists their name and how much they won. If you Google top live gaming platforms in the world Evolution and Playtech are always number one and number two and they sell their services to hundreds and hundreds and of casinos.

Poker and Blackjack are not random outcome games. Every card that is dealt changes the probability of the next card dealt (based on remaining cards that are not accounted for). Roulette is a fresh start (so to speak) every spin. The ways to beat blackjack (and poker to some extent) are ways that attempt to negate (even if slightly) randomness.

"Are the results of each round in blackjack essentially independent events? Even when you are counting, each hand is a random event, with a small correlation with the count of the previous hands." and the same is true in any shuffled deck like poker or Baccarat. Each card is random and is an independent event. Just like every spin of the roulette wheel is an independent event. Just because they are beaten using different methods does not take away from the fact that they are random.

But, each hand of BJ (or any card game) is not an independent event, even within the same hand, every card that is dealt/burned changes the probability of the next card (which can influence your action when it gets to you).

A roulette wheel hitting ten reds in a row does not mean there are less reds and more blacks remaining for the next spin. Even on a biased wheel -which I know you say is not your method- each spin is an independent event (it may just generally influence which area of the wheel is more probable). But, it shows the difference between prior events mattering and not mattering.

In roulette, even in +EV play, prior events never matter (unless you are using them to gauge a bias, but even so, they are still independent events).

I think that's EB method.

If he sees three reds in a row, he subtracts them from the wheel so he only has 15 reds to worry about.

Every card coming from a well shuffled deck is a random independent event. That's the point of shuffling. Because of this Blackjack was considered impossible to beat until counting came along and shocked Las Vegas right down to it's toes.

Whatever, I'm not going to go through all that just for one casino. I don't play there nearly as much as I used to since Michigan opened up because Bovada only spins 50 outcomes an hour I would prefer the 90 spends an hour I get in the Michigan casinos.

It's not just one casino, as I said, I can think of about 20 off the top of my head, I'm not looking for live dealers online so I don't take note, there could be as many as 1000. There are lists and resources like LCB.org that can help filter that information.

You should be scanning as many as possible at once.

It didn't take that long for people to figure out blackjack once it became popular.

You might find this interesting. It's as if they predicted an EvenBob.

"What was Thorp’s key finding? “Blackjack is different from other card games because sequential hands are dealt out of a randomizing device whose composition changes in an observable way from round to round,” says Axelrad. In other words, the outcome of one hand of blackjack has an effect on the following hand: in a game of blackjack using a single deck of cards, for example, if the Ace of Hearts is dealt in one hand, the Ace of Hearts will not be dealt in the next hand. (Providing the dealer doesn’t shuffle in between hands.)

That’s highly unusual for casino games. In roulette, for example, each spin is totally independent of the spin that came before and the spin that came after. You can scowl and study roulette all you want; you’re not going to learn anything."


Of course it couldn’t be less random, which is not something casinos want to happen at their tables.

One of the most common techniques casinos use to thwart card counters is by repeated shuffling. Upon each shuffle, when all cards are hauled back and randomized, a card counter’s carefully maintained count becomes worthless; he or she must start over at zero. Shuffles are done at set intervals (called “shoes”) mandated by the casino, and the percentage of cards dealt before the shuffle is of key interest to card counters. That percentage is known as “penetration,” or “pen,” and card counters rely on very high penetrations.

No, its not, because every card that is removed from the deck impacts the remaining composition of the deck.

Blackjack was discovered to be possible to beat precisely because it is not a game of independent events. The whole principle of changing the edge of blackjack is formed around prior events.

This is not possible in roulette. Even if you have a consistent edge in roulette whether it be by a bias wheel, dealer, or some physics computer that can predict where the ball will land before betting ends, each event is still independent of the prior. Having an edge does not make an event an independent event.

No.

The shuffle is the random event; the deal is a dependent sequence of fixed events.

The shuffle randomly determines which sequence of cards can be dealt.

You cannot have a pair of J♦'s in a single deck game dealt from a common pack. There is only one J♦, it cannot be dealt twice between shuffles.

If it were otherwise, I could agree with you.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Why don't you find people with mathematical backgrounds to quote. I doubt you can which is why you already are stating you see no point to it.

If I knew of people whose quotes backed me up and we're legit sources I would be posting them as my evidence.

"..all variants of poker, individuals compete for an amount of money or chips contributed by the players themselves (called the pot). Because the cards are dealt randomly and outside the control of the players, each player attempts to control the amount of money in the pot based on the hand they are holding,[1] and on their prediction as to what their opponents may be holding and how they might behave"

I get it, it's slightly infuriating to hear him boast about all his accomplishments and act like he is superior to everyone else. Just disengage and let the thread die.

I cannot believe anybody thinks a shuffled deck of cards is not random. What do you think the purpose of the shuffle is? The purpose is to randomize the deck so you don't know where anything is. So you can figure it out later that doesn't mean it's not random. You know how to win at poker? Do a non-random shuffle it's called cheating. Do you think they use shuffle machines to make the decks nonrandom? Shuffle machines make the decks as random as possible

LOL! Thanks for the comic relief.. You people asked for this and now I'm giving it to you. Last year all I heard was I should be banned because I was always talking about my roulette method but never gave any details. So now I'm here giving nothing but details and you're still not happy. Make up your minds. Just because you don't understand it does it mean it doesn't work. Duh

Of course. There is NO WAY EB is doing the things he says he is doing. There is NO REASON to believe a single one of his roulette posts. NO REASON to believe he actually plays roulette. If he does, NO REASON to believe he wins his magic 80%. There is NO REASON to believe that he is doing ANYTHING OTHER than trolling the forum. He can of course post ANYTHING he wants. He just wasn’t savvy enough to post something that even approached believability. Tell us you win 51% of the time and we could have believed he was lucky.

Why would anyone even believe EB actually plays roulette for money? Given the ludicrous nature of his main claim, why would anyone believe ANY of his posts?

(I do believe he eats the food in his pictures)

I love how everyone here is an expert on what I do yet not one single person here has ever tried it. Soopoo, you are a doctor, would you have been one of the other doctors in the 19th century to lock the doctor who discovered washing hands in between operations in a mental institution? Simply because they did not want to believe his claims. Giving your stance against me I guess you would have locked him up because you think you know more than I do about this and you've never done it.

That's why I started this thread so I can get help. Help in improving my game and it's working. Nobody wants to ask questions everybody just wants to express they're uneducated opinions. Like they tried this and they know firsthand that it doesn't work when that's not the truth at all. You've never tried any of it.

First report on playing the lightning roulette wheel on the Evolution platform. Not trying to make one unit only so I'm playing differently. I'm making more bets based on what I know about pattern and trends. I bet virtually 5 times bet with real money 5 times and then bet five more times virtually. I ended up getting 13 right and two wrong which is really much higher than expectation. There was lots and lots of patterns to choose from and they were all going my way. This is probably a fluke and will play again later, I was expecting a 65% hit rate and this was much better than that. This wheel produces 80 spins per hour because the ball spends a little more time in the track then it does when it's thrown by a human.
