B*llocks

Tried a new roulette system friday night. Deposited a tenner at virgin casino and got it up to £40 at one point.

Then whaddya kno, it disappears. So I deposit a bit more. For some reason I then deposited 50 quid to give me a good float, yet I told myself 'that I wouldn't lose all 50'.

Long and short of it is, I've now blown 80 quid. FUCK.

Don't wish to rub salt in the wound, but roulette systems generally don't work, especially the type when you're gambling such relatively small amounts of money.

What was the system?

I know they don't usually work - I suppose because I got it up to 40 quid I thought 'well I can at least make that much again to make back what I've lost' - and so it goes on...

The system that works on threes - bet 2, if you win bet one, if you lose bet 3, do you know the one I mean?

I only know the one where you bet on two thirds of the board, but it doesn't really work either (except if you're lucly)

The system does work to an extent but you need balls to carry it through - by the time I had lost 20 quid, I was stupid in that I was scared of losing any more - so each time I got a few quid down I was walking away rather than pressing on with the method. But then going back 2 minutes later and ending up doing the same thing!

UPDATE!

Deposited an extra tenner because I decided to have a gamble just for fun as oppose to fucking about with any systems. I flukily got a good few wins on a slot, so managed to withdraw £20 meaning I'd clawed back a tenner. That left me with £2 in my account to do what I can with....currently up to £3.80!!

That makes no sense to me. If you walk away then come back it makes no difference, as each outcome is independent.

I mean I might start the system, and get 4 or 5 bets into it and have lost. So I would panic and walk away. But then I'd think 'oh I better try again' - and go back but start the system from scratch. Then have a few losses, panic, walk away etc...

I ould be wrong but aren't these online casinos rigged?

I play the slots a lot and out of my last 10 deposits totalling around £4/500 i've only ever come off with one win which was a £30 profit!

In my opinion real casinos are the way forward...

I think they tend to make up their percentages by throwing out lots of small wins which naturally you just recycle - if you're playing at say £1 a spin, getting lots of wins of 80p or 1.20 doesnt really mean much and naturally you just keep playing. Although I have had them throw out big wins every now and again.

With the roulette, they do do massive streaks of a single colour and evens or 1-18 / 19-36 BUT, I suppose you get these in real casinos, so can you really claim that they are rigged?

The one I find most annoying is Blackjack - I'm convinced it's rigged. It will just throw out a big run of losing hands, beating things such as 20 for you and they will go 10+3+2+6 for 21! I DO think that they are rigged.

£5.85, by the way...

Nope, lost it. But at least I clawed a tenner back, so that's something.

To be honest i rarely play roulette, i sometimes play BJ which can be very annoying, if i bet small i win but as soon as i get greedy i lose!

As i said the slots are more my game, they have a great selection on paddypower and my money always lasts me a long time, although i lose more than win

I agree about the blackjack. If I could be arsed I would do a few stats test on it and show how statistically unlikely the results I have had on the are. as you say, even when you get a 20, you often see 'them' getting 10,2,2,1,SIX! if, like me you suspect quite strongly that it is rigged, avoid temptation and just DONT PLAY THE BLACKJACK!! I think the roulette legally HAS to be random?

Whther that is adhered to and whether the other games do or dont have to be 'random' I dont know myself...

I saw someone playing Global Draw Roulette the other day, he had about all the numbers covered bar 2 of them. Guess what landed in!! a blank... yeah, really random that is! the odds of some of these happening is off the scale, but GD Roulette comes up trumps more often than not!
