What's special about the last bet? Does it wear a yellow t-shirt saying ' Don't worry: this one will be a winner'

WinCraps thinks so, today anyway.

In between hot shooters killing my rail money I managed to win 9 Don't Pass Odds Bets in a row, 10 Don't Pass Odds Bets in a row, and 7 Don't Pass Odds Bets in a row. So WinCraps wasted a lot of my time going nowhere, then took me down to my last bet of my $4800 buy-in, and I won it back with $120 on the DP and $360 Don't Odds on an odds progressive of $360, $360, $360, $480, $600, $720, $720 until a loss. I can't really run a progressive on the Don't Pass bet itself because it gets mauled on the come-out rolls.



When I got to $7200, I raised my bets to $180 DP and $540 odds with an odds progression of $540, $540, $540, $720, $900, $1080, $1080 until a loss. WinCraps kept bringing me down with hot shooters when I raised my bets. They'd get 4 points, like 3 shooters in a row it seemed. So I'd have to crawl back to my raise balance several times. One time it put me on a win streak instead and I got to my next raise point of $10,800 where I doubled my original bet sequence. When I got to $15,600, I'd double my 2nd bet sequence. I'd just multiply my total DP & Odds bet before the progression by 5 to determine my next raise mark.



I'm going to try to limit my daily wins at the casino to 10-15 bets and come back another day.

Narrator: Who said he would see ANY upside, period!?



Edit: I'm going to play DP with odds until I get 2 losses on one shooter then turn it around and play PL progressive with static odds so I don't lose more than 3 odds bets per shooter. I'm up over 20 bets in 525 rolls with this strategy, this time.

"Since I'm seeing nothing but Point 7-outs and PP7-outs at the tables"



I stopped reading after that. Great post!

'...laying the six or eight is a 4 % House Advantage...'

I thought it was o.8 % if done for one roll? ??

I could win 3/5ths to 2/3rds of the time without going over 40 spins.

Progressive wagering roulette: A fun way to lose money for over two hundred years.

Why would we give any credence, or any of our lifetime to watch some random roulette expert. Just chucking virtual currency down on a virtual game and posting when he wins a little... and doesn't post when he gets slaughtered?



The whole raison d'être of this forum is to wise up any potential chump who might be taken in by such shysters and idiots as that vlogger.



His systems are nonsense, useless bu!!5h1t, which will encourage his suckers to lose money and maybe try to prize money out of them either by direct system selling, or from advert revenue.



There's one universal truth about European Roulette: The House ALWAYS has a house edge. Absent the ‘EN PRISON’ and ‘LA PARTAGE’ rule variations that edge is a god-awful 2.7% (1/37) or more for 'the Basket Bet'

No system overcomes that edge. EVER

Unless you can cheat or get the house to give you freebies worth more than the edge, at best you have a fun way to lose money.



CC. Why are you interested in these scams? You don't buy any of their rubbish do you?

I just found a roulette slot machine at a distant casino a couple days ago and hadn't given roulette a thought until now. My local casino has $10 - $100 limits on their wheel. Judging by these videos, there's a reason they keep the maximums so low. They don't want people winning their money back with higher bets after losses.



I tried the Third Column - Two Line - Red system in the video on my home Hoyle Casino game and I didn't stop raising my bets at 7 units.

I went through: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 33, 36 unit bets before I got back to my starting point and reset my bets back to 1 unit. Since I was using $1000 units, I went from $1.1 million down to around $400K, before I recovered back to $1.1 million. The next time around I just reset my bet if I lost at 7 units so I wouldn't go down so far. I won $50K, lost $50K, lost another $50K. So yeah, stopping at 7 units would be a bust for the session unless I recovered back to my session start money.



I tried another strategy not listed which was $2000 on the 1st & 2nd dozen and $1000 on a double street in the 3rd dozen. If I lost a bet, I'd add 1 unit until I got back to my starting balance. The numbers I didn't cover tended to come up more often than once every 6 spins. They'd come 2-4 times in a row. After awhile I was betting $30K on the dozens and $15K on the double street. I lost half a million and was stuck in a losing pattern, and quit.



I then went on to play 25 hand Baccarat Tourneys against 3 other virtual players for $100K (with a $100K buy-in) in which I bet $6K but raised to $12K after 2 wins until a loss, generally playing Player; then when I got to $1.25 million because I won a few $100K jackpots in addition to my results in the tourneys, I played in $500K tourneys (with a $500K buy-in) and bet $30K, but raised to $60K after 2 wins until a loss. I made it back to $4.4 million and I can try some other strategies again.

Lucky you have infinitely deep pockets and a million here or there is chump change to you. Go try with real money :o)

If you can't make a few thousand profit with a multi-million dollar bankroll, you are a statistical outlier. That, of course doesn't make it a winning system. You should win >99% of sessions, but boy oh boy do you have a bad day when you lose.

I had one session where I was just betting Black. I lost a $100K session because the past 26 spins on the board were 19 Red and 7 Black! Flip it the other way, I could have won nearly $300K!



I think I started this Hoyle game at $5,000 when I installed it. I haven't needed to get a loan from the virtual ATM yet.

Coulda. Woulda, Shoulda.



Seriously... Where's the joy in testing a losing system.... Are you hoping to find the Holy Grail? There ain't one.

I'm getting ready to ask for casino surveillance tapes to find poltergeists with the kind of luck I've been having.

Playing a losing game and losing.... That's not luck. That's how the universe is supposed to work

No, I'm sure everybody at the craps table said what was happening the other day was "brutal" and not the norm.

hmmmmm,

Isn't this a roulette thread?

Tasking a note from the Roulette Survey:

Usually the European roulette is found in high limit rooms, with $100 minimums. However, at the Mirage, Aria, and MGM Grand, European is in the main casinos, at a $25 minimum.

The purpose of this page is to show what kind of roulette is available at each Las Vegas casino. There are only four kinds seen in Las Vegas, as follows.



Double Zero: The wheel has a single-zero and a double-zero. All bets have a 5.26% house edge, except the 0-00-1-2-3 combination at 7.89%.



Single Zero: The wheel has a single-zero, but no double-zero. All bets have a 2.7% house edge.



European: The wheel has a single-zero, but no double-zero. In addition, if the ball lands in zero, all even money bets will only lose half. All even money bets have a 1.3% house edge, all others have a 2.7% house edge.



Sands: This is the same as double-zero roulette, except a 39th slot is added labeled with a green S, which stands for Sands. Mathematically, it is like a triple-zero roulette game, where the house edge on every bet is 7.89%.
