Trust me, if he did, he would be:Quote:

and trust me, they wouldn't stop the game. Blackjack is beatable(although with machines they made it almost impossible), but that didn't stop them keeping it in Vegas.
There's a lot of angry talk in this thread. Angry talk gets threads closed.
ridiculing and scoffing because he has a secret isn't funny, this what created Hitler! I for one am open to trying something new. I would try it, lol. If he claims it, and I cannot counter claim it - cool. Lets not be so tight assed about it, maybe? Don't believe him? Great, whats with the relentless :p:tongue::rolleyes2;)
:greenie:
p.s. I know the secret, and I think it would work. I was told this in strict confidence, and torture would not move muh tongue.
lawl.

I know it started with you making a mistake in a propability equation.
Which brings me to my lack of trust in your "foolproof" method of winning.
The fact that roulette is incredibly simple should be enough to not trust his pretend method of winning.
And my mistake led to my probability being off by more or less 50 points. When it's close to 150 million to one, do fifty points really matter?
Lack of trust, eh? You think I care? I visit a neighboring state's casino town once a year. I devote so much money to each game. I usually devote $200 to Roulette and more or less double it during my time. When I gamble, I keep two sets of chips. One is the set with which I sat down and the other are my winnings. I play until the first stack is gone and then stand up with the second stack. This is not my strategy, but rather a safety plan I have when gambling, because otherwise I'd be playing until I ran out of money or time, whichever came first. I do this at every table with every game, so don't mistake this for any strategy I have at any game.
Besides, I never said I beat any system. I said I know how to shift the odds into my favor at Roulette. I'm also a decent BlackJack player, though not on third base. When it comes to these poker games like Let It Ride, I often joke that they should change the name of the game to "Take CJ's Money." I play for fun. For recreation. And it doesn't matter that I lose at some games, because Roulette more than makes up for what I lose at the games where I do.
Some people just think they're too smart to gamble, and don't want to believe any strategy that anyone might have lest they be wrong that only idiots gamble. Reminiscent of the religious people who don't want to listen to the latest scientific discovery lest they be wrong about their Bible being the inerrant, literal truth. Not meaning to turn this into a religious debate or anything, so if you believe that, no offense.
Oh, there are games that involve strategy. Poker involves strategy. Black Jack involves some strategy.
One thing you don't have is a strategy to constantly win at Roulette.
Looking back at the original topic... Ah, $200 million lottery win. Even with that colossal US tax, that's some $100 million in the bank. In my savings account, the interest alone would be close to five million a year - that's enough to live a full and exorbitantly comfortable life, while still giving a couple of million annually to charitable interests. There's be plenty left over for gallivanting, globe-trotting, adventuring, going back to uni to earn a few more degrees... nigh endless possibilities.I think I'd still like to work part-time, though, just so I'm doing something productive and useful rather than self-indulgent idleness.Quote:
AK sums it up:
Spend it? Psh!
I'll live off the millions of interest. Then my decendants can live off the millions of interest as well.
Money makes money, literally.
:edit: as for the other topic - 'strategic gambling' and all that...
In the past, there've beeen companies that purposefully assessed the odds then bought tickets featuring every possible combination of lottery numbers. They were able to earn a comfortable profit, even though buying that many tickets required a lot of initial expenditure. You have to be rich to start off in a game like that, but it can pay for itself pretty well. Still, it's not something that can work as a solo effort because of the sheer number of tickets that need to be purchased. Those companies tend to get outlawed pretty fast, anyway, and are prohibited in a lot of US states and various countries.
As for games of chance? If you keep playing, you'll eventually lose. That happens when the odds are against you. You can, however, quit when you're ahead and walk away with winnings, rather than continuing to risk them on ever-larger bets. "Gamblers' ruin" is a sound principle. Card games are a little different - it's possible to get an edge by counting cards and re-evaluating probabilities, but that takes a pretty awesome amount of observational and mathematical skill.
Oh, Roto, Roto, Rooter. If only I could explain it to you and manage to still keep it a secret, I would. I'm not posting it online where anyone can read it, then run to the casino and try it out, but if I knew for a fact you would keep it to yourself, I would PM it to you just to shut you up.
I wish you would tell me, just so I can debunk it and wipe that smug smile off your face.
but..
Let's get on topic.
I would still never but a ticket, because you'd have a higher chance to get hit by lightning, over 5 times as much, in fact.
I'd like to live off the interest though. But I think I'd get a job anyway, too boring otherwise.
