Hey Sally,

Hmmm ... nice precise calculations based on probability.

The thing is ... my strategy combines probability and real world stats based on my own real play. So, I don't rely solely on probability.

Also, choosing numbers randomly will produce different results compared to my number selection method and roulette strategy. I wait until 3 specific elements line up.

I appreciate your calculations, but unfortunately they have no bearing on my method and are unable to explain my results. ;-)

I just came to this forum today to ask a question, which has now been answered, together with a useful binomial tool thrown in for good measure.

Thanks again Sally. You're a darling. ;-)



I just ran a simulation where I spin the wheel 31 times. If there are exactly 19 missing numbers, I bet them for 6 more spins.

After 1,000,000 trials :

48154 times did we get exactly 19 missing numbers (4.8%)
I bet 5,489,556 units, and got 148,577 hits, which was hits on 51.42% of bet spins. This is almost 19/37 (19.02)
I won 5,348,772 units.
My net return was 97.435% (or EV of -2.565%).

I would expect a EV of -2.70%.

I suspect doing a 10 million play trial would narrow in further.

You overlooked this bit of information that separates this system from all others.

Maybe veering a bit off the rails, but I'm a bit annoyed by the characterization of weathermen in this thread. They - or at least the better ones, not the ones behind most local stations - don't just look up at the clouds like us and say "ah, rain today." They sit around simulations, digging through data, doing exactly the kind of probabilistic analysis on well-understood models of observed phenomena that the OP is violently ignoring as it relates to a roulette wheel. The kind of intuition being touted is moderately useful in regard to the weather, but only because it tends to agree with these rules; a roulette wheel that doesn't agree with its mathematical model is quickly replaced with one that does. If they couldn't do this, they wouldn't carry roulette.
The trick to poker is learning not to beat yourself up for your mistakes too much, and certainly not too little, but just the right amount.

i side with him on this. you guys are amazing mathematicians and are very good in running simulations but you are not considering the chaos built in any complex system like roulette. The analogy with weather was quite good because Roulette does behave like weather in some cases.
i have been using this exact method from almost 12 years now and it works. only downside is that it very slow and you have to have a lot of patience and wait a lot between your plays. so i usually go with couple of friends when i want to play like this. rest of the times i play for fur fun and loose my money :)

anyway let me take a stab in explaining what is happening here and why your simulation/models are not catching this. You are basing everything on the fact that each roulette spin is completely independent of the me thing is happening in your computer models also. But this is NOT true at all and that's why we have a probability distribution curve. In every 37 spins (no matter from when you start your observation) a particular pattern is made. Its not random. Chaos theory is in play here. So in short you are trying to solve a non-linear model by applying linear rules. Please think outside the box on this.Also, every table is unique and when you play , you use your gut/instincts also which tilt the odds in your favor by a slight amount (again missing in simulation)

Thoughts?

Why would your gut instincts ever tell you anything about where the ball will land on the next spin ?

I don’t know what gave you that impression Mike. Can’t a guy just show up out of the blue and contest that he can make money despite what the math says based on his gut and intuition? I’m sure he knows the number one rule which is to stay hydrated. (Also a good nights sleep never hurts)

Because of physics.
