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.
