    Roulette Question? "spot" betting....
    Say I go on a Tuesday to a casino down by me. They have 2 dollar minimum and 400 max.


    Now can I buy in, and just sit there and not bet every roll? Is that frowned upon, or not allowed. I'm planning on going and just chasing colors. Say 3 reds hit in a row, I'll bet black until one pops up to win 4 bucks : 4 - 8 - 16 - 32 - 64 -128 - 256....I walk in with 500, and only way I lose is if 10 colors in a row pop up.

    I'm not looking to make a killing, just looking to go and waste some time during the fuckkin day while I have off, and the girlfriend has to work from 9-7.



    The reason I ask is because I've never tried this, and never really noticed if people sit at tables and don't bet, and wait to "spot" bet on roulette.

    You definitely don't have to bet every roll. I usually just bet the color that came up, and ride that wave. Same colors tend to hit a few times in a row a lot.

      Try video Roulette. No tables no crowd no dealer just you and the wheel and you can bet exactly how you want with no distractions. Now the max will probably be lower than 400, but there are games in Miami where I live the max is 180.

        that system is full proof.

        in all seriousness...do you even want to find yourself in the position of sweating a $128 spin to win $4 ?

          Your obviously talking about a eletric wheel i assume cause u cud just step back from a real wheel. But if ur at a electric wheel with 20 people waiting to get in some may get irritated but it just move my hands around like if i was betting. But nope nothing wrong about it

            Ive made lots of money doing this.
            But only chase Black after red has hit 6x. Trust. And vice versa obviously.

                Are you retarded?

                What makes you think that each spin is dependent upon the last one?

                  Each spin of the wheel is independent, meaning that on each spin red has a 47.37% chance of landing on a double zero wheel. Just because black has came on the 6 individual spins prior to this spin it does not in any way increase your odds of red landing on the 7th spin.

                  This is a degenerate gambler fallacy that casino's feed on!! since you have max wager limits and the casino has a much larger bankroll than you do, the casinos ore more than happy to sit back and watch you martingale chase all day long.

                  Do yourself a favor if you are going to use the martingale just put your money on a -1,000 favorite instead, essentially this is all you accomplish with a martingale you are basically risking a lot to win a little.

                    there would be times when it would be frowned upon if you sit and take up a seat that someone else who would be betting every spin could use. but you will catch a streak of 10 straight at least in a row which will cost you plenty if you use that double up system. every day every wheel has at least one 10 straight color streak. why not just go bet show bets at otb or something instead of that foolhardy idea.

                      Casino I have been to only make you play every roll if you have colors.
                      If youre just betting Red / Black then they dont care if you miss a few.
                      Martingale is not the way to go because of the inevitable 256 to win be up 10... 500 is a nice number to walk in with but probably not enough.
                      Good luck.

                        I'd be going in with 500, because that would give me 7 spins to bet with. And when I lose those 7 spins, then I'll just go home.

                        Like I said not looking to make a killing, just going to waste some time during the day. And I won't be crying if I lose 500. What else is there to do during the day?

                            I've never even thought about betting horses, and won't start now.
