Title: Can this be applied to Roulette?
Post by: Big EZ on Feb 14, 02:49 AM 2011
I came across something that is very interesting, well at least to me it is.
After reading about it, I wondered to myself if this can be used for roulette.
And if not, well now you guys/gals have a new coin trick you can use to build up your bankroll to play roulette  :o

Anyway.....
Its a mathematical principal called "Penney's Game" .. It has to do with someone coming up with a predetermined sequence based off someone elses sequence.  So I was thinking maybe this can be applied to the wheel. You can read more about it on Wikipedia.

I may be totally wrong about this being able to be applied to roulette. But I am tired and when I wake up tomorrow I am going to try and apply this to some live spins and see what happens.

Any comments are welcome...

Sadly, not.  :(

Penney's game depends on there being 2 players, one of whom chooses a sequence, then the other makes a choice depending on what the first has chosen. There isn't an analogy in roulette for this scenario because there's only one player. The casino doesn't count because it's just there to provide the random numbers, so you're not playing against the casino in the same way as you play against an opponent in Penney's game.
