Just turned one silver into ten at the casino

The problem is, you have to make up your losses. So if you're betting on two of the thirds, your current bet has to be at least double your total losses (that way, the 3x win covers your loss AND the cost of your current bet).

This turns your following bets into something like 1, 4, 12, 36, 108, 324, 962... in order to break even. With a slightly less than 2/3 chance each time, you hopefully won't lose that many times.

i have a system similar to this, in one night i turned 4 silver into 43, then turned 43 into 0 lol it helps to incorporate a double up system to your bets too

[Carlo210]

Betting on a third and then betting less on a color is pretty good too, but not as good as bettng on 2 thirds equally.

You gotta weigh how safe you wanna be to how fast you wanna make money. (Duh.)

Either way, it'll land on zero.

Maybe I'm just looking at this the wrong way, but how is this "common sense?"
Betting equally on 2 of the 1/3's would mean that for every 1 time you lose, you'd have to win twice to break even. And with a 1/3 chance of losing, mathematically that says you'll strike even. Obviously gambling can't simply be decided with math, but if the law of averages holds any ground here you'd be near even. The chances of you gaining money is equal to the chances of you losing money.

Am I incorrect?

[Maxson]

You're correct, of course... but gambling is about minimizing reliance on luck while still admitting that luck is necessary. These systems are designed to make gambling more than "I think I'll bet it all on this, oops, now I'm broke", which isn't fun at all.

Luck just needs a helping hand sometimes, you know?

I made 26 silver out of 1 silver in 2 hours. then lost it all. Its all luck. You just have to know when to pull out. If you put it in storage, telling yourself that you will bet it tomorrow, that is the saame thing as keeping on betting. You should bet until you have enough to get the item you want. No big.

No, what I meant was that now that ten silver is in the bank, it's not coming out until I use it on a prize. If I lose the one silver I get tomorrow, I quit for the day.

bahk, that is true, but also remember that I have something like a 64% chance of winning, plus an educated guess as to what the next win will be. It worked for me... just have to use common sense (and yes, I know that's been said already, lol).

[Carlo210]

I'm on a winning streak. The only way I'll lose if a number between 1-12 is chosen, which is 1/3 likely. So I like my odds. I figure the nubmers I usually see are high teens and the twenties.

[HFlowen]

Of course, all the 2/3 logic applies exactly the same to 1/2 logic. There are no "efficient" ways to win roulette, if there was, casinos wouldn't have it.

In the end: Luck.

I've been through all the complicated strategies, and none of them really worked. So, I just relied on the following very simple strategy: Bet on two of the three dozens. Bet an equal amount on each one. Bet on what is likely to win, which is determined by looking at the past wins. If you're not so sure what will win, bet a low amount. If high and middle have come up the past seven times, bet heavily on the lows and either high or middle, just as a backup.

Now, at the end of the night, I lost everything I had on me, but I had ten silver safely stowed away in the bank, where I previously had none. Good guideline: Once you reach a certain amount of money (be reasonable), deposit half of it in the bank, and don't even think about touching it until you need it for a prize.

I did that the other night and made 25 silver with a massive winning streak. I just didn't know when to quit and lost it all after gaining too much confidence in the system. T_T
