+EV Video Roulette

[pdx107]

So I was thinking, a lot of these casinos in Reno/Vegas have video roulette games, freestanding like video poker. If one was to for example put $5 on Red and $5 on black, and then use their players club card, they would essentially win every roll, unless it landed as a 0. You would in essence break even every spin, but you would rack up points on your club card very easily w/o too terribly much risk, as well as rack up on free drinks w/o much threat of losing it all either.

Am I nuts or would this actually work?

[themajormt]

Yeah but WHEN it hits the 0 or 00 it cancels out all those points in one spin. $10 loss hardly equates...

[aggieshawn]

you are nuts. you every play roulette? you would be tapped out before the first free drink gets to you, dont even mention the free deck of cards you would be working towards.

What is the liklyhood of it hitting 0 more than maybe 5 times a hour? seriously, it cant be that bad of odds ya know?

Playing black and red with only one zero is a huge edge for the casino, something no slot card can make up for.............

Interesting, I didnt think it would be that terribly odd playing both sides.... ya know?

Think about it......there are 37 numbers .........1-36 plus the zero.

You are going to lose both wagers roughly 3 times every 100 spins.

It is an extreme rarity, even on double and triple point promo days, where a slot card will return more than 1.0% cash back.

If you're looking for a comp 'scam' watch the movie 'Hard Eight.'

[pdx107]

ok so maybe it wasn't the brightest of ideas.... could be worse though

I play at all the Harrahs casinos.

On video poker / blackjack / roulette the Comp Rate is 1 point (1 cent) for every $10 bet.

So if 1/37 rolls is a zero you would lose $10 in cash for every $0.36 you earn.
