[Closed] The best way to play roulette?

Dippy19 · 2009-08-09T18:55:27Z

I got my 50$ from the top10 promo on Party and I first played some 1/2 and 3/6 FL, to try and get scratch tickets... oh, yeah, I wanted to donk around a bit, so there's no confusion :) Anyways, made it to 160$ and then before cashing out I felt like playing a game of roulette before I go. So I took 50$ and looked at the board and placed the bets in a way that looked kind of cool: And in that one spin, the 22 hit and I got 180$ for my 50$, that's 130$ profit. Then I just withdrew the cash and left. Now while I was out and walking around I started to think that my bets ware pretty well placed. I don't know much about roulette, but I assume that if you hit an exact number and have 5$ on it, you always get 180$, and if you hit a color you get 2x the invested. So I calculated a bit and I found out that the way I placed the bets(shown above) I get 49.32$ for every 50$ invested. I'm not that good with probabilities, so I would like to know if I calculated it right and thus actually managed to place my bets in the least(or at least one of the least) -EV ways? Pretty good for first go :)

my first time i ever seen a rouleete wheel i but 20 euro in and i thought you could only pic 1 number ( 1 ball - 1 number ) so i but the 2o euro on number 29 and wappi lands on 29 720 eoro i win so i said id cash out 700 so i bet another 20 on 29 and >>>>> nope landed on 3 i think but still i won 7 tonne

they say the worse thing for a gambler is to win his first bet they were right now i hve lost a good 10k on number 29 on them roulette all because i won that first bet

i even play 29 off and suited in poker just because that bet ( lets jut say its not as succusful as 10,2)

bet one chip on every number. this way you reduce variance which is always a good thing, while you'll be winning a miracle 1/37 every single spin.

You can't win at roulette except by stealing the money of the bank.

Really, no Betting systems can be EV+.

The only thing that you could do is search for biased games: for example if the wheel is not perfectly round, the ball will fall more often on certain numbers so it could be EV+.
