Gordon Gekko says he knows a beatable roulette strategy long term

THIS IS ABOUT AS ACCURATE AS A PATTY VENDITTO QUIT GAMBLING FOR LIFE, THREAD..

I CANT WAIT TO HEAR THIS ONE..

NO SUCH THING AS ANYONE BEING ABLE TO BEAT A ROULETTE TABLE.. IT CANNOT BE DONE. AND NEVER WILL BE DONE..

THE ONLY WAY IS IF YOU PLAY ONE BIG HAND ON ONE SPIN, WIN IT AND NEVER PLAY AGAIN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. OR PLAY 3 SPINS, GO 2-1, AND THEN NEVER AGAIN PLAY ANOTHER SPIN AGAIN FOR REST OF YOUR LIFE. NO OTHER WAY CAN ROULETTE BE BEATEN.. FORGET IT..

YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AT JUMPING OFF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, LANDING ON YOUR HEAD, THEN GETTING UP AND BRUSHING IT OFF WITHOUT A SCRATCH ON YOU..

Nicky Santuro is wrong, there is a way to guarantee a profit from roulette. You let all the mugs lose their money during the course of the evening and in the dead of night you put on gloves and a mask, arm yourself and threaten the pit boss you'll put a cap in his mutha fukkin ass if he doen't hand over the cash box. Assuming you dodge security and get away, you have made a profit from roulette.

Other than this method, Nicky Santuro is correct.

People have beaten roulette before, as well as many other games considered unbeatable. But I doubt that anyone will bring up any meaningful info about it here. We shall see.

pat venditto · 09-20-08, 03:51 AM

reno we are talking long term. not 1 day not 1 week, but 10 years straight.

pat venditto · 09-20-08, 03:53 AM

anyone with a brain knows the house has the edge on every bet you make is -ev.

if every bet is -ev than its impossible to win long term.

end of story.

reno cool · 09-20-08, 03:54 AM

I'm happy to hear about it. Are you gonna post it here?

sometimes there are more things than meet the eye. However, if its a purely mathematical system then there is little hope.

You "could" beat roulette, but I think the only way is if you discover an abnormality in the table and try to put it to your advantage, for example if you were able to ply open the slot for the zero, you would have an advantage on betting the zero but an even higher advantage on betting everything except the two slots surrounding to the zero.

if the dealer is black. the black will appear more often.

My approach is simple. As soon as you are ready to play, find a $3 minimum table. Cash in just $100. Place $3 on #'s 5, 7, 11, 17, 20, 22, 30, and 32. These #'s are all next to each other. 8x3 = 24$ which means you have 4 chances playing these same #'s with your initial $100. If the happy little ball does not land on any of your #'s in 4 tries, you will end up losing for the trip in the end. If you do get on a roll and a couple of times your numbers hit, take the lady to dinner or buy a hooker if you have no lady and you are assured a happy ending and an overall victorious trip

There you have it, my best roulette strategy

pat venditto · 09-20-08, 10:56 AM

all those bets are -ev.

Read The Eudaemonic Pie for a fascinating story about beating roulette, developing one of the first wearable computers (before it was illegal), and the birth of chaos theory.

Reno is correct, nearly everything has been beaten. In the case of Roulette, it was beaten soundly with the aid of concealed computers back when that was legal.

As for beating roulette today, the next time you're in Vegas observe rolls on 20 or so wheels. You'll find that on about 1/3 of them the ball always drops off of the track in a specific region. On some wheels, it drops off at the exact same spot. On others it will always drop off on one half of the track. Just a slight tilt in a wheel will cause it. Those things are heavy and they don't stay level for long.

So anyway, if you know where the ball will leave the track, that's a pretty important variable that's known. There are those, including me, who believe that a wheel with a known drop-off point can be visually tracked without the aid of a computer. I'm not saying I can do it (I can't) but I believe there are those who can.

However, even if possible, it's ridiculously difficult and has questionable longevity (try staring at the wheel, making large bets right before being waved off, and winning and see what kind of heat you get). There are probably much better things to do with your time.
