It's not a priority, it's just something to do. It keeps my mind working about roulette, and I actually enjoy people telling me what I'm doing and what I'm not doing when they don't have any idea. I get the biggest kick out of that. The last laugh, so to speak.

What I used to do is as soon as I got home from the casino I would laboriously enter the numbers from the roulette card into my roulette simulation software so I can play them later in the week to see if I did better than I did in the casino. I was really into this for a very long time, years and years. I still do it everyday of course but now I rarely practice it's just play play play online. It's very difficult teaching yourself something when you have no teacher, when there's no place you can turn for advice or examples. You have to do everything yourself.
This is the roulette software, you can still buy it online for $30. Well worth the money it's been an indispensable tool for me. The great thing about it is you can import actual roulette sessions from Germany and download them into the software. There are half a dozen German casinos that publish the results of all the roulette wheels every day and have been for the last 20 years. This is an unbelievable resource if you're serious about roulette, to be able to play actual results from a live dealer wheel.

So you doubt my roulette cards are real? They are very real, and painstakingly acquired one at a time. Look at them, look at the patina, which means look at the age of the cards. They are obviously not new, they're not something that I scribbled on yesterday and I'm trying to pass off as something that I did years ago. These have the stink of authenticity all over them. I wish I would have known they still existed I would have posted them much sooner but I haven't cleaned my basement in over 20 years, I mean totally cleaned it out like I'm doing now.
I'm going to go through these cards and post more details, there is a wealth of information here.

I turned $5K into $40K this afternoon playing Black Jack in 147 hands. I've recovered my bankroll from $65K to $105K. I had to raise the table limits to $10K from $3K but only needed $4K before I called it quits because I octupled my session buy-in.

In case anyone is doubting the authenticity of these cards, here's a picture of a used deck of playing cards. Notice the soiling on the edges that happens when people use them, when they actually use them in card games. Look at the soiling on the edges of my roulette cards, that's because I actually used them. Look how the corners are rounded, look at the patina of age on them. You can't fake that, and believe me people try. Faking patina on paper is very very difficult. These roulette cards are obviously old and they've obviously been used.
Here's a deck of used playing cards, and a deck of new playing cards so you can see the difference. When these roulette cards were new they look just like a deck of playing cards. They came in packs of 100 and they looked and stacked exactly like playing cards. So these cards are the real thing, I actually used them in the casino betting money from 2007 to 2009. And what I wrote on them was the actual results of my games. What would be the purpose of writing anything else because I was the only one that was ever going to see these. Eventually I had hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of cards but I threw them all away, I probably had thousands when I think about it. Cards from Michigan Indian casinos and Las Vegas casinos from when I visited there since I started playing roulette. The casino that I never had any cards from is my local casino because they're too cheap to print any so I always used small notebooks when I went there. But I threw everything away because I had no need for it and it took up a lot of room. This box I found in the basement I had no idea it was there and for me it's like finding buried treasure. Because it's absolute proof that I went to the casino and I played this game and I won most of the time. If you think it's not proof then you have no idea what proof looks like.

They support your assertion that you took copious notes of some roulette spin outcomes.
They support that you believed that it was worth doing so.
How do they support your assertion that you ever wagered so much as a dollar?
How do they prove that you don't have an equally large pile where you lost more guesses than you won and that you didn't like to keep the 'good records' separate?
Here's a picture of a horse and a unicorn.
🐴 🦄
See how the unicorn is white with a pink mane? and the horse is brown?
Does that prove that Henry my unicorn is white?
Patently not, because that is not a picture of Henry! Henry is Blue and camera shy.
So. No. I don't know what proof looks like. Your proof looks like an embarrassment to me.

Is this real money or 'practice' money?
What would you have done if you had lost your buy-in? Buy in again out of your bankroll, or simply not post about the session?
I look forward to seeing your scanned in notes. Take as long as you need, though.

It was play money from a demo game, which I've posted about elsewhere in my Software Sessions Thread that people in the forum tend to avoid like the plague. If I had lost, I would have started another session from my bankroll. This was just a winning session I decided to post. I was at a $140K+ bankroll much earlier and have gradually lost some of that back to repeated lost sessions of $5K or $10K buy-ins, to a low of a $65K bankroll on the last buy-in for this session. I'm back to a $105K bankroll and I thought it was a good place to stop before it all comes crashing down again. My next buy-in will be $5K again. Apparently this game has no problem making me lose more than a dozen sessions before letting me win 10X my buy-in back again. I have no idea how I would fare on a real table, but this really does give me a lot of hope. I've gotten to over a million dollars before my computer crashed last time on this game. Just a few winning $10K buy-ins adds $100K to my bankroll each time. I could be adding $400K per winning session from a $40K buy-in with a $25K table limit. I think the highest real table limit I could find in my region is $5K, so that would limit me to $7.5K buy-ins and $75K winning sessions at a real table.
I don't expect that I'll ever post my notes, but I do make an effort to post some software session results.
I'm switching my internal hard drives over to SSD's this past year and syncing up the information on them is what I need to do. I expect I'll get new computers when Windows 12 comes out next year. All of my usable computers are 11-15 years old.

These aren't 'notes', they are a bet by bet transcription of what happened in the casino the day I played. They're called roulette cards and they are supplied to you by the casino. They are dated, they're filled out in my handwriting, they show the numbers that appeared, and how many bets I got right and how many I got wrong. These have the stink of authenticity all over them and would be admissible in court as evidence. If it's thought I drove an hour and 15 minutes to a casino and sat there for an hour to 90 minutes twice a week for 2 years and wagered nothing then that opinion has the stink of unicorn manure all over it. I could present a 3-hour video of me playing with witnesses claiming it was me and you would still say, how do we know it's not somebody who looks like him. There is absolutely nothing that will ever convince you because you don't want to be convinced, so you will throw stones at every bit of evidence that's presented. These roulette cards are real, recorded by me of games I actually played and bet money in, like it or lump it, those are the facts.

When they start doing that you know you won.

That's actually a perfectly reasonable scenario, if each time you approach the table aspiring to octuple or dectuple your Buy in, or lose it. You can reasonably expect to octuple your buy in 0,1,2,or even 3 times in any dozen buy-ins. The problem is do you have the bottle to throw that kind of real money at the game knowing that you might easily lose a dozen $5,000 buy ins.Quote: ChumpChangeApparently this game has no problem making me lose more than a dozen sessions before letting me win 10X my buy-in back again.

If I win in the first 3 sessions, I may not have to worry too much after that. I'd be starting from scratch at the real tables. My buy-ins would be in the $200-$500 range, eventually going up to $1K buy-ins and I'll probably stick there until I win $10K enough times. I expect I'll hit $100K by the time I hit hand number 10K.

Evidence?
I have to disagree with you TigerWu.
I see no evidence that he has ever placed a wager, let alone gambled ( which he says he never does anyway )
I'm delighted by the evidence he has just shown.
Evidence that we don't all have a shared definition of 'proof'
Evidence that he cares what we think.
Evidence that he is not familiar with Hamlet's "the lady doth protest too much, methinks"
In context, I understand that "The Lady" represents a person making claims in this thread and "doth protest too much" simply means "makes implausible and untrue claims too frequently to be believed". In Hamlet, 'the Lady' is an actress representing Queen Gertrude protesting her fidelity, wherein she KNEW her fidelity to be untrue.
EB seems to have totally misinterpreted the reference. Happy to try to enlighten him.
I did used to wonder whether EB believed his own narrative.
I perceive evidence that he does believe it.
I perceive evidence that he is keen for others here to believe it.
Hard to see why any of us should care.
People should not and will not start giving EB the benefit of the doubt. There is no doubt.

I've been thinking about this and need it critiqued.
Any number on a roulette wheel will come up one in 38 times, but only pays 35-1.
The wheel doesn't know or care what number just came up.
I'll give the rest later, but before I do- what are the odds a particular number will not appear for 65 spins?
I've gotten three different answers and not sure which is correct.

Any number on a roulette wheel will come up one in 38 times, but only pays 35-1.
The wheel doesn't know or care what number just came up.
I'll give the rest later, but before I do- what are the odds a particular number will not appear for 65 spins?
I've gotten three different answers and not sure which is correct.

37/38 to the 65th power. Or somewhere around 17% of the time. (Double zero wheel).

Very specifically, you ask "what are the odds a particular number will not appear for 65 spins?". One of the easiest things to work out.
On spin #1. the probability that number 'x' won't show is 37/38
On any INDIVIDUAL spin, the probability that number 'x' won't show is 37/38
For a number to not be hit in any set of 65 spins, it must clear that hurdle 65 times. The probability is (37/38)^65 = 0.176676295397 = 17.668%
Or, we could say that a number WILL hit at least once in a set of 65 spins with 82.332% probability

Very good.
Now we can be imaginative. Lets suppose I can track a hundred wheels, using multiple computers.
Currently, our program reveals five wheels where the number 7 has not come up for the last thirty spins. We place a $1 bet on one of those wheels . If the number 7 comes up, we win between 35-1 if it comes up on the first spin or break even if it comes up on the 35th spin. There is roughly an 18% chance we lose $35 but an 82 percent chance the number hits and we get paid. Now, if we extend it out and double our bet on the 36th spin, we break even or come out as long as the #7 doesn't appear for 103 times. If it doesn't, we lose $111.
Where am I wrong? It seems like a person would cash out well over 95% of the time.

Kind of strange how this thread morphed in to talking about roulette again. As for whooping it up, people do that for different reasons. I was once at a racino and a lady was whooping it up when she found out she could get free sodas while gambling.indiana doesn't give out free alcoholic beverages but they give out sodas.

These are called cold numbers, numbers that haven't shown up in a while and they usually appear on the roulette tote board. It will list the numbers that have appeared the most and have appeared the least. The problem is, sometimes numbers have a tendency to quite often 'sleep' for extended lengths of time, I'm talking hundreds of spins. It's not unusual for a single number to sleep for 300 or 400 spins. There are people who play the hot and cold numbers as a system and can do quite well at it if you know what you're doing. It has never interested me.

Proper bet selection actually comes from probability. I'm not quite sure why people here are always deriding bet election, it's what everybody does when they play any table game. You choose where to place your bet. Even in horse racing there are people that go around actually selling tips on where to place your bet, and some of them do quite well at it. People count cards in blackjack to improve their bet selection. There's a way to improve your chance of winning in every game if you just know how to find it. If you just assume there isn't, that's your loss and the casinos gain.

I cannot be bothered to analyse your scenario, because it cannot, will not and does not make any different to the expected value.
Are you actually taking the urine with this post?
Are you really an adherent to the gambler's fallacy?
What does tracking the wheels do to change the house edge? What does the fact that some wheels have not hit 7 tell us about the future?
what's so magical about waiting 35 spins on the wheels that have not hit 7 is something supposed to be 'Due' where did you derive your 82% probability of the 7 hitting within 35 spins? I thought we showed you that it was 82% probable that it would hit some time in the 65 spins from when you make the decision to monitor it, not from when you have monitored it already.
If you monitor and track a million wheels and wait until you see one that doesn't hit a 7 for 64 spins, do you really believe that those wheels have 82% chance of hitting 7 on the next spin, because that is spin 65? Sorry dude. future results have to be in the future.
If you wait until you see one that doesn't hit a 7 for a million spins and then start betting on it coming up 7, then there is an 82% chance that 7 will hit before spin 1,000,065 spins
Nothing beyond that nonsense is worth analysing.

These aren't 'notes', they are a bet by bet transcription of what happened in the casino the day I played. They're called roulette cards and they are supplied to you by the casino. They are dated, they're filled out in my handwriting, they show the numbers that appeared, and how many bets I got right and how many I got wrong. These have the stink of authenticity all over them and would be admissible in court as evidence. If it's thought I drove an hour and 15 minutes to a casino and sat there for an hour to 90 minutes twice a week for 2 years and wagered nothing then that opinion has the stink of unicorn manure all over it. I could present a 3-hour video of me playing with witnesses claiming it was me and you would still say, how do we know it's not somebody who looks like him. There is absolutely nothing that will ever convince you because you don't want to be convinced, so you will throw stones at every bit of evidence that's presented. These roulette cards are real, recorded by me of games I actually played and bet money in, like it or lump it, those are the facts.
