Never understood why otherwise-sharp cats like you play rigged on-line casinos.
I don't get the appeal.

I don't. Except at SBR. Because I have never put a dime into SBR nor will I. I'd never venture into a real $ online casino. Just boredom at 3 am on a sat night.

Love betting on the things at roulette when it's under 40% past 100 spins. I know each spin is unique but it has worked for me.
Nothing in the store that's worth much except maybe the sportsbook cash and that's only for non-americans.

They have these electronic roulette machines at a couple of the casinos where I live and it's so easy to win on these things. What I do is sit there and wait for some sloshy drunk people to come along and play and I just bet the opposite of whatever they do. It's worked like 90% of the time. I swear this machine has some built in algorithm where it calculates the total amount of bets and makes it land on whatever takes the most cash from the players.
For example I was there one night and these guys came along and were putting a couple hundred on black cause the entire board was red. They lost and kept chasing until they got to the table max. I sat there and kept fading them, staying on red. They lost about 6 straight hands and were bankrupt and left. I stayed and waited for someone else to come. This older woman came over and put some money in and started chatting with me asking how long it had streaked red and whatnot. She decided to go with it, so I went against her and bet black. Boom... black hits. At this point I was up several hundo so I rolled. I've been able to do this several times just fading the other players. I swear the machine is rigged, that's why it works.

Agreed. A theory I follow as well.

You can't make nonsense like this up.
If your theory is true (which it isn't) you should play live roulette as well since the video machines have just about the same hold % (within .25%) as a live wheel game with dealer.

Yep, you're right it must just be an anomaly since it's been working for me over the course of two years now. I should stop while I'm ahead before the house edge catches up to me since the wheel is clearly fair and equitable, without fault like all of the regular dealer roulette tables that you suggest I play on, lol. I don't play casino games, they're -EV but if these idiots are going to send me vouchers and free food coupons in the mail and offer me a game that clearly has a bias that I've detected and exploited for profit, then it would be -EV on my part not to take advantage.
Casino games are for losers and young, ignorant gamblers as I once was, but every once in a while you find an error on their part and you have to take advantage of it while it's there. At another casino that I used to frequent they had a bunch of TVs right next to the roulette tables with the sports games on. My friends and I used to go there to drink and watch games we had action on. Every table had a newer looking roulette wheel except this one that was clearly older looking and had noticeably different features. The slots were much wider and the ball was bigger. Over time I began to notice that every time I was there to watch games and hang out with friends, this one wheel would always hit the same two numbers over and over like clockwork. I'm talking like the history board couldn't get through one rotation max without these numbers hitting again. Often much more frequent than that. So after noticing this, of course I played those numbers and won. Did it again next time I was there, won. Won almost every time I played those numbers on that wheel over the span of a few weeks. Anyway long story short, word got around and they caught on about a month later and the wheel was abruptly gone. I asked one of the bosses what had happened to the wheel and he told me they had to retire it cause there was a problem with it. Lol, I'm sure there was. It couldn't have been a biased, warped wheel or anything could it?

So would I! However, I never said that it hits 90% of the time, I said that I've won 90% of the times I've played it using my theory. As in I've played it 10 times over the course of a couple months and profited 9 times, lost once, for example. Big difference! The amount of profit varies per use, however the fact that I profit overall doesn't. It's a general trend that's held over enough of a sampling size that I believe it to be biased. Random probability says I should be losing much more often than I do on a supposedly random game with a 44.74% probability and a house edge of over 5%. Why do all the people who come over and play this thing betting hundreds per spin or even table max, almost always lose, meanwhile some dude like myself just sitting there grinding them to death with $25 bets by fading the big-shots, is winning long term? Something doesn't sound fair and equitable about that. Maybe I'm just a lucky bastard(which I'm not) or maybe the machine is biased, at this point I don't really care cause it has served its purpose. If I never play that thing again in my life, I wouldn't care.

I would rather have over 100,000 points than 100,000 posts.
