(Un)Official Casino Strategy Guide

[SolomonGrundy]

After simulating it on a computer program for thousands of rounds, even the "double if you lose" method isn't failsafe, because of the 0 (There's only ~49% chance every turn that you win), and the fact you need a large amount of capital to be able to constantly double your previous bet.
4 loses in a row : 10 + 20 + 40 + 80 = Total of 150 copper.
5 loses in a row : 10 + 20 + 40 + 80 + 160 = Total of 310 copper.
6 loses in a row : 10 + 20 + 40 + 80 + 160 + 320 = Total of 630 copper.

I have 25 silver, more than enough to double my bet when I lose. but as you mentioned, streaks of 7+ are pretty common.

One way that folks protech themselves from large losses due to the '0' when they are down, is to bet the '0' as well (they payout is x36, so you only need put a small amount down).

Still it's a waste of time. bleh.

I'm sorry to tell you all this, but the roulette table is not random. It decides when to pay out.

1.Get your silver
2.Place 20 on Black
3.Place 20 on Red
4.Bet 10 on any of the number ranges (1-36, etc.)
5.Repeat step 4

Either way, you either come out with a little extra, or a little lost. Either way, it's a safer alternative to your strategy. Though, if one does feel lucky, I assume that trying your strategy would be ok as well.

this way is stupid if u bet on red and black it cancels out the winnings. you hav a 2 to 1 odds to win and if u bet on red and black u hav no gain and if it hits on zero u are screwed. i find that for sum reason tht there are certain numbers tht seem to usually come up often. wont say wut but just look for them. each uni is different on different days

You can always bet the same on 2 of the 3 ranges...

I've tried that and hate it. It's too safe, and you can't win big without risks. What I like to do is similar to the OP's idea... 50 on a color, 20 on two different ranges, and 10 on zero. It hasn't been paying off lately, but it serves me pretty well (usually).

Theres a huge flaw with this strategy.

Why even bet on black AND red if your outcome will be like if you didn't bet on them at all? I mean, you put in 40 and only gain that 40 back. There's really no point to it at all since you don't gain at all. You might as well not bet on colors at all. You stand to lose if it lands on green too.

Here's my method, it's simple and effective... to a degree I guess. Just bet on two ranges. I usually go 50/50 with the silver I get each day and just keep going at it until I'm satisfied.

That's why you hope it lands on one of the number ranges. You get a small payout, but it's a payout none the less.


Then again, I only went to the casino to get the Bar Decoration, so I didn't have to win that much. If you wanted a Chainsawd, or w/e, then my plan doesn't really work well.

betting the same on both colors is COMPLETELY STUPID. sorry to be mean, but there is seriously no point. if it lands on red, you get 0. if it lands on black, you get 0. if it lands on 0, you lose 40. I don't see the point...

But that's nto all you're betting on. That's why you bet on the number ranges as well, so you get a boost in cash. With this strategy, you could either win 10 bronze, or lose 10 bronze. Either way, you don't just get your money back.

Dopples: Of course you're not only betting on the colors, what Bilven is saying, is that the you get the same payout if you put 20 on both colors or if you didn't.

Scenario 1:
20 Black
20 Red
10 1-12

It lands on 3, you get 40+30 back, so you just gained a 20 bronze

Scenario 2:
10 1-12

It lands on 5, you get 30 back, you just gained 20 bronze.

Senario 3
Red/Black 20
13-24 10

It lands on 0, you just lost 50 bronze

Scenario 4:
13-24 10

It lands on 0, you only lost 10 bronze.

There is NO logical reason to put 20 on both red and black.
