Facts known about roulette not the game itself but the wheel.
We all know the wheel has no memory.
Take any thing that works mechanically, it has no memory as to what happened a minute ago.
Hence we have the black boxes that record data in airplanes.
Which enable us to reproduce what happened and avoid mistakes or disasters.
What system builders are doing is taking the black box(old spins) and start to analyse the data based on the system they want to make win.
Lets think outside the box for a minute.
From the black box we have statistics that have been proven to be correct +/- 1%.
One good example is we know in a 37 spin cycle we have XX amount of unique numbers and YY amount of unseen numbers.
Lets add standard deviation to the above unknown numbers.
Having the above solves 90% (under my estimates) of guess work with the wheel.
The wheel that has no memory. Yes 10% is a lot to deal with. 10% of 37 is 3.7 number's.
A good mathematician based on payout has always said bet up to 6 number's and no more.
By using the right approach and good understanding of previous set of numbers. Roulette can be beaten.
There is only 2 things going against a human player:
1) Human greed of never ever getting satisfied with the amount won per session.
2) Not been able to control oneself from going into tilt.
The best practice any roulette player can first do is:
Practice to control his/her greed.
Practice to be under control when things go wrong at the table.
Let's remember ANGER IS YOUR WORST ENEMY.
Human greed will always follow us no matter who you are.
Take an example of a business man or even a worker at a fast food industry. Do you know what they have in common?
They both want to save money for their family and themselves. I am sure you are too. I ain't gonna deny, I am too.
Anger: In a business if things go wrong and you lost some money due to wastage or etc. Do you run to the bank and empty the bank account? I am sure not.
I am going to let you think of the above 2 major influences in your life as a gambler.
Back to business.
We are trying to run a business. We have a very limited capital to work with. We have to make it out.
Here is my take of what a CASINO is, I look at a casino as a 24 hour ATM if used wisely.
It's a location full of wealth that the owners don't mind you taking a share of their profits.
Oh, whats used wisely in my point of view, think of the ocean as a casino.
So much wealth in one and the other has so much water.
What do you think will happen to you if you took a truck to the beach and tried to fill it with water?
I am sure you will get stuck in the sand, do you know what will happen while you stuck? The next high tide will drown you.
Lets look at it in a second way, take 2 pails of water fill them up and leave the ocean come back again. You will be safe. I am sure you get the point.
If we were starting a business we would first try and analyze the market, do our research and at the end decide, ok this is what I will do in my business.
Once you open your business, would you shut it down in a few hours if you didn't have any customers? Well look at roulette from the very same logical thinking.
Don't waste your time trying to find a system or buy one from someone who says they can sell you one.
I will throw this out there, look at a lawyer or a doctor, they spent 7-10 years studying and what is their reward?
Stop jumping from one system to another if it fails in the first 15 minutes.
This is how I look at, how roulette can be beaten in the long run.
