    I'm thinking about taking two bills to my local brick and mortor casino, and playing roulette for $5. just for shits n giggles

    I was just going to martingale up to $200, so what's that...6 losses in a row before I bust.

    I want to see how much I can win before it will go bankrupt? I'm thinking at the very least you'll get to sit there for an hour

    anyone tried this in a real casino?

    Your experience tales and stories appreciated.

    I don't like the Martingale System, just a recipe to go broke IMO. Its been around for awhile and if it was a full proof plan to consistent winning, casinos wouldn't allow it. I would just flat bet for a one hour sitting and see if you grinded out a profit or not.

    Have fun, and "taked" is not a word for future reference.

        I know it's a recipe to go broke, I'm just wondering when it will go broke.

        I mean even at 5 dollars, 3 or 4 wins get you a pretty decent lunch. 20 wins which is what 35 minutes? and you're looking at a nice crisp 100 dollar bill.

        I know in the long run this fails but I'm thinking it might be worth it to try and win 100 dollars it doesn't seem all that unrealistic

          6 losses in a row is not a lot
          The mire you play the chances increase of 6 loses in a row

          I would wait for like 3 reds and then start your system and when you make $5 each session do same thing again waiting for 3 reds before you start.

            jem, the key to this system(and with anything like this, you need big limits and enough cash) is to allow for the wheel to spin 6-8 times before it lands on a row or box of 12...then begin martingaling the box that hasnt been hit...(for ex. box 1-12, row 1 down to 34) it pays 2-1... and 200 aint enough...start with 2k and every spin doesnt have to be a double to win money...you can ration it a bit ... the goal is to make it 10 spins or so...at least that was always mine and had bigger limits and more than 2k

            fwiw, the more tables to watch the action, the better...you will sit at the casino all day if you just have 1 or 2 wheels to watch

            also buddy, "taked" isnt a word, but i fukkin agree it should be!

              If your talking about roulette, you'll see either color hit 7-8-9 times in a row often. You'll see a color hit 6 times in a row a couple of times in an hour. Martingale system is cool if you have a huge bank roll and a casino table with no limits.

                  $5+10+20+40+80+160=$315...$200 would only give you 5 losses in a row.

                    I'm going to taked enough bankroll to support 6 losses, and just randomly play red or black. see if I can make it a quick 100 dollars.

                    if not I had fun, hopefully it lasts at least an hour

                    anyone think I'll go bankrupt before 20 wins?

                    I'm going to go saturday morning

                      Jerm...

                      Took 150 to the roulette table.

                      Martingale for 10 bucks a spin....But I'd sit out for 2 rolls until 2 colors popped up consecutive. Then place the 10 on the other color. Most I got up to was the 3rd bet. Wasn't sweating it 1 bit.

                      I checked the history (last 15 spins on the table) and none had over 4 in a row of 1 color, that was on 4 tables.
                      Turned 150 into 230 in less than a hour.

                      Went to play poker and lost 100 on 3rd hand.

                      Went back to roulette for a bit and won another 50, and walked outta the joint.

                        cool man this is exactly the kind of story I was looking for.

                        seems like an okay way to win a little money, my only question is why aren't you doing this every day?

                          Obviously it's not guaranteed, but I've never went bust taking 150 to the roulette table (only been about 7 times, don't care a bunch for casinos). I usually wait for 2-3 spins to hit in a row before I bet, and it depends on the Minimum on the table. My time will come and I know that. But playing 150 on a 5 dollar minimum table after 3 spins you'd have to have 8 spins to bust your 150....

                          But a great way to piss away some hours on a shitty day.

                            Sounds bout right
                            I do this every day online. Basically wait it out till you see a pattern you can attack. Like the last 8 of 10 numbers was Red Then pounce on Black.

                                Online isn't the best....I've taken the SBR casino for quite a bit, but also happened to lose them all back right away.

                                Never seen anything close to this at a real casino....Don't know where my screenshot of the 15 in a row went...

                                    Nobody is debating this. But` money can be made. Id say play up to a point or profit x or Ill lose x before stopping. The longer you stay at the table the bigger the chance of you getting shited on.

                                      Back when I was 18, I went to an Indian Casino. They had 1 dollar blackjack. I went with 40 dollars. I was able to get up to 110. I wanted to make it to 120...well, I lost it all. I think it was a 8 or 9 game losing streak. Lost it all.

                                        Don't get greedy, if you wanna go and just make 50 bucks, leave after you hit that. The longer you stay the greedier(?) you'll get.

                                          Yeah exactly. I used martingale on roulette online when I would wanna make some quick cash. It's good for the short term but don't expect to get rich using this every day....you will lose.

                                            yes there's no chance in the world I would do this at an online casino.

                                            they are rigged.

                                              The thing is you could do it for a while but eventually the big losing streak comes in and you get smashed

                                                          True story. It went red 42 times in a row at my casino. The streak busted every roulette player and 90% of BJ player there.
                                                          I walked in when it 12 already. A little drunk.
                                                          I played my theory, to get rich when on a long streak is running.
                                                          $5 same color, $ 5 on the repeat # and $1 green.
                                                          I hit the same number a few time.

                                                          But the streak of reds was 42 in a row till it ended.
                                                          Funny thing was it went one black and then casino went empty.

                                                              ive seen a roulette wheel in a casino read black 14 times in a row and ive also seen one hit 29 4 times in a row. this is of course an anomaly.

                                                                i have done this quite a few times, mostly on paigow poker - start at $20 then if i lose 3 in a row go $40, $80, $120 and quit.
                                                                that way it caps at $300.
                                                                same strategy would apply to roulette, if you don't cap the "system" you can eventually go really broke.

                                                                martingale is a meaningless system, i only do that for shits and giggles - in the long run (a million spins/deals/etc) you are going to be exactly where you would be with the same average bet size unless you are counting cards in blackjack.

                                                                  I believe documented streak is 26 . 42 straight it would make a world wide news

                                                                  On August 18, 1913, at the casino in Monte Carlo, black came up a record twenty-six times in succession [in roulette]. … [There] was a near-panicky rush to bet on red, beginning about the time black had come up a phenomenal fifteen times. In application of the maturity [of the chances] doctrine, players doubled and tripled their stakes, this doctrine leading them to believe after black came up the twentieth time that there was not a chance in a million of another repeat. In the end the unusual run enriched the Casino by some millions of francs.

The legend is based on the fact that the sum of all the numbers on the roulette wheel (from 1 to 36) is 666, which is the "Number of the Beast"

                                                                  Hmm the thing is the roulette can be any # it doesn't really matter
                                                                  36 ,48 ,12,50 , 26,72 , 22 the math is the same ,chances of winning or going bust adjusted by the #'s and a odds (36 to 1 , 48 to 1 , 12 to 1, 50 to 1 and so on ) The odd thing the sum (from 1 to 36) is 666
