Default Roulette Machines

Yes i have just got back from one of my most ever boring visits to the bookmakers, with my "Non Gambling Friend". After 30mins i lost my weeks wages to such devastation. My friend decided to put £20 in to my utter shock and literally cover the board so basically only about 6 numbers would make him a decent profit. for the best part of 45mins we sat (I was utterly bored) and watched the balance between £14.40, £18 and £21.60 until finally i pusuaded him to take a risk, and lost it in the 1st spin. He was absoulty gutted, ive never seen anything like it.

Does anyone else have any friends like this?

Indeed JJ, but I think this topic is well left alone, at least we know what were saying ey?

Micky, a weeks wage in a roulette machine, in such short time, tells me there's problems somewhere... the main one being lack of self discipline

Badders, you've obviously not seen the other posts on roulette, if a piece of code has to adapt to a percentage, its algorithm is not coded to be completely random... do the basic maths.

Who has them set to percentages?

thats no more than a glorified fruit machine then eh.. they are meant to be fixed odds cus they have the house edge.

Default zero

I thought the house won if the ball landed on 0 or 00 depending on whether euro or US.

That gave then a 1/40 chance to clear the board

The house doesnt win, the 0 and 00 are there to advance the house edge, (odds for landing on a single number 35-1) with the 0 and especially 00 this gives the house better odds, as there is 37/38 numbers on the board... You can still bet on 0 and 00 singular, and beat the house edge on 1 spin

Yes but as i always say you've got to speculate to accumualte. They all call me mad when im spinning £100 a time compared to their fivers - However they will always turn round and say "You lucky b##t##d" when a collected a nice amount and them complaining "We never win much" basically its you bet big you win big, am not going to bother with daft £30 wins and such. You need the balls i always say.

We were in the casino a few weeks back and i lost a hefty amount, and you should have seen them when a placed my last £500 on black -- Red 23 (Devastation) will never forget it
