I voted no on the poll question.The top 5 threads have nothing to do with betting systems or even gambling save for Doc's fine Casino Chip of the Day thread.

Jerry Logan has appeared in yet another poll. Does anyone feel that it's time to un-ban him and invite him back? I might vote yes if it was a poll. If he doesn't behave he can be the first member with a DOUBLE lifetime ban.

Sorry, I just picture you playing roulette, bullets flying everywhere around you. You're wearing a gas mask and writing down the last numbers that have hit. Pressing your bets...

Hey, it's Sunday morning and I'm at work - this is where my mind is right now.





"Pressing your bets" >>> No, flat betting for the most part.

LOL, the roulette trenches. It's tough out there for roulette players, isn't it?



Its tough for the different types of roulette
play. For the guys using roulette computers, for
VB players, for method and system players. You
have no idea until you've done it for awhile.

9 hours or a billion hours. Playing roulette straight up all your life will only accomplish one thing, going broke and there isn't anything any one of you that can disprove this.




I appreciate your opinion, thank you.

The math goofs



I would suspend you forever for that comment. The founder of this forum, The Wiz, is a 'math guy'. It is the cornerstone of all he stands for. Although your comments can be quite humorous, I think this direct insult of the Wiz, and others, deserves a lifetime suspension. I know the forum would be better off.

The math goofs are the last people that should be giving advice regarding methods.



I consider that a personal insult. Your last suspension was two weeks, so let's make this one three.

I know Wiz, your board, your rules, but this is just ... the word "remarkable" comes to mind.

You just banned Ken for posting the same allegedly offensive, banworthy phrase he's used 1579 times without any prior problem.

The phrase "math goofs" has been in EVERY ONE of his posts since Sept. 4, 2010, in his closing sig.

So, you and your "board police" only now became aware of what he has been openly saying/posting for 2 1/2 years?

The offensive phrase "math goofs" has been hiding in plain sight.

I have no reason to read his posts so don't do so. In this case I knew about it only because somebody else complained.

No. Actually, let me rephrase that: HELL, NO.

Oh, as far as roulette, I've spent a total of 20 minutes total playing it: 10 minute on the quarter game at El Cortez, and 10 minutes at Wheeling Island. Everything else has been with a free bet or some sort of promo. I therefore consider myself well-studied in roulette.

Seems like every time I am about to get rich, the guy who can help me gets banned. I mean Jerry Logan, Statman, and now Ken.

It's Mike's forum, but still I wish he would wait until their system is revealed. SIGH

Just watch Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet or Joe Pesci in either Goodfellas or Casino, then remove any hint of classiness, and you'll get the general idea.

Or hang around a Middle School boys' locker room. That level of wit.

Boys locker room is a very apt comparison.

Thanks for that. He should have signed up for a Heavy dice class. I’m serious. He might have seen or learned how to loose less if nothing else. But no, it’s been a running feud for 15-20 years now, across a few forums, not this one.

. I don't think it should be taken away entirely, as it does interest some members. But I think it might be better for the community as a whole if the betting systems area were treated like the free-speech zone of GLBT area where posts are recorded but not listed in the "recent threads" list. People wanting to read about betting systems would simply need to more proactively seek that area out.
