Bookies Roulette

which number do you bet on?

Mine is 17 and I tend to bet on all numbers around it.

Does anyone have a specific way of playing this. I just stick with 17 and bet either side of it. Don't like to chop and change.

Once 25 came in 4 time on the bounce and bottled it. Still walked away about £400 up from £10 so can't complain

Everyones got their own lucky numbers which they bet all the time. But lets face it there not very lucky are they? Cos how many times do any of us walk away up

True thats why I avoid them.

I played one the other night opposite the cinema where I was watching a film. I got rid of all my slummy and made up £2 in credit. I then thruned this into £12 and paid for my ticket. Was tempted to try and win more off the £12. Wished I had now as the film was crap

Right, i had a dabble in this earlier because i'd cleared out a fruity for £90 profit and felt a bit reckless. If i wanted any more proof the fucker is bent, then this was it.

Bet 1 - £45. Spread over the entire table, with every number having some sort of cover. Most of these would have returned £60+, some £200 odd. What does it do? Roll in 2, and comes in with a £14 win. My lowest covered bet. Quell surprise...

Bet 2 - Repeat bet. This time it throws in 26, again one of the lowest covered numbers returning £20 odd. Cheers.

Bet 3 - Go for broke. £50 on 0-21. Really beefed it up, with a huge win if any of those numbers came in. Cue red 36, as predictable as ever.

My mate who plays these all the time is right. The amount of double ups on numbers just isn't right, these sort of bets just happen too often. He's also pretty good at picking a rough area for upcoming numbers. No morehuge spins for me, maybe a tenner or a score in with someone else, but not that shite again.

Rant over!

I know that feeling. I put £100 in one the other month.

It was throwing loads of crap numbers in. Luckily on my last go I had 25 covered with £1 and splits all round so got £100 back

Walked away. Waste of money. I'm sticking to footie accumulators as its a good way to track if I'm up or down and I have more chance on these

Had a couple of spins last week, 12 came out 3 times in 4 spins, one word - JARG.

Perfectly normal for that to happen. I know the odds of it happening are thousands to one, so are many other things, but this thousands to one shot comes in significantly more than the rest

MMMM Hello anybody out there, I have written a programme that uses a standard number generator and ran this over 1 million attempts and the longest sequence of any given number was 8 x 24's followed by 6 x 13's, everybody always remembers the bad runs, not the good ones

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 11:01 pm

Thats because i have barely any good runs to remember! :P

Surely in a game of equal chance you should do well. I know house edge yada yada, but the amount of bullshit stories you hear on FOBTs is just wrong.

You hear a LOT more bad stories than good, thats for sure. Its not just because 'the house have the edge'

I too will join the 'tin foil hatter' brigade and declare that these machines are 'probably bent'.
Like you say Matt people always bang on about (adopts childish whining sarcastic voice) "Uuurgh you only remember the bad runs and not the good runs". Nail on head, you've captured the essence of this non randomly compensated roulette bollocks.

LISTEN: IF I WANT STREAKS I'LL PLAY A FRUIT MACHINE - IF I WANT A FAIR RANDOM GAMBLE ON ROULETTE, I'LL GO TO THE CASINO.

Let the age old flames ignite!

Only contribution I can make to the bookie roulette debate is that there seem to be two makes of roulette machine on offer. One type is in most bookies and is a complete rip-off and so rigged that it is not even worth playing. The ball goes round and u have no idea where it will land.

The other type is still left in many Coral branches and even if you lose, it's fair, the ball lands where the eye can see it land - it plops into the hole and the eye can see where it is going to drop as the ball spins round - and it does pull in numbers you have been chasing eventually, if you are patient enough and don't stack the chips up too high so you've no money left. I've noticed big differences with payouts from these machines, and the Coral ones seem to be the most fair. I'm on a WINNER one visit in two - you just have to get the hell out of there once you are up. That's the hardest bit.

I don't think there is a bookies roulette out there which you can't work out what the number will be after a couple seconds spinning, because the number has been decided before you see the graphics of it spinning.

These are also definatly not rigged.
