I'm sick of this BS so I'm venting. (lol)
Do any of your family/friends slam you, insult you or crack jokes because of playing roulette or gambling in general?
Lets be honest, if you are a constant loser, I cant say I blame them. Myself, I can net 3K for the day and get evil looks (and remarks) from family/friends. Not so much for being jealous but because its NOT the PROPER way to earn a living. (No, roulette is not my only source of income)
Question being, do you guys also get this treatment?
Ken
Next time tell them you lost. That's what I do.
Then you will only get lectured on why you should give it up, and how it will destroy your life.
They will feel a lot better, and you will know a lot better.
I can live with that. :)
I think as long as play/results is heading in the + direction, then what's their issue!
I get more questions about it, in a "Fascination" way........
...and they always want to know more, esp if U tell them that U actually Win!! ::)
(Very keen ears once U mention the word......winnings!)
Why tell them anything? Tell it to your pet rock instead. You won`t get any lip from him.

In my private life, not even one person knows what i know and what i do.. NOT EVEN ONE. In other words something completly different than having any idea about my knowledge and connecting me with this game with any kind connection.
Actualy there are only few people i talk about this game on croatian at all... Only you guys on forum know me when it is time to speak about and play this game... 8)
Interesting parts are when i go with my friends and cousins in local casinos.. Well, there i am the dumbest person for that game. Don't know a thing and fascinated by all that lights and enviroment. Saying wow and dreaming on loud how it would be great if this game could be beaten... ;)
But during all that time, in my head, silenced virual battle is going on with this game...
And like this will remain as much as possible. Ill do my best efforts to keep it as similar to this. Not even one word about my knowledge and play won't be said to people who doesn't deserve it... Or maybe they are deserving but i am sure they wouldnt understand all that...And i don't have time or wish for explaining. This game is magical, and when you know few spells, if you are smart, you won't show that just like that. In fact, best spells i want to keep and perform only for myself..

Yes, Yes. I've found the subject is nothing to talk about in polite company and I find myself boasting about other ways to make money E-Bay, photography, etc. but never, never gambling!
I just tell people that I'm a member of a roulette forum. That our purpose is to combine knowledge and expertise and see if it is possible to develop a mechanical system that will beat roulette.
Since I don't go to a casino except rarely and I don't win or lose any large amounts of money, all I get from my wife is a little irritation that I spend so much time on the forum.
It's bearable.

I just say I win some and lose some but generally break even which is pretty much the truth, although I am a bit in profit.
If I get criticism I ask is they play the lottery etc. It's surprising how many do on a regular basis but don't consider it gambling.
People assume that gambling is always a problem whereas like alcohol etc. it only is for some.

Oh my Ken... this really hits the nail on the head. Allow me to vent also. ;)
You can't imagine how many times I've heard my husband say, "Want to know how to make money playing roulette? Don't play!" >_< And when I have something exciting I want to share... he doesn't want to hear, as he doesn't want to "encourage" me. Actually his newest phrase is, "Random is Random." Very profound, LoL, I know.
And then I was visiting family in the States and always testing my numbers. When my mother asked what I'm doing, my sister piped up quickly "Oh, that is some really hard European Suduko!" But at my Dad's, there was no way he was going to buy that so... I had to hide in my room! Or go early to bed so I could test!
I find it hilarious really. I guess I will tell them, ...one day.
Being clandistine is kinda fun for now. 8)

How many of you when you lose, you say thats the end of roulette?
I always get a kick out of those people who say I play the lottery but I don`t gamble !!!.

"thats it for the day" for me
We only person who knows at least in details is my wife. She has nothing against my playing.
Of course I would not ask for her money, and I must pay my share at home.
She still works and have more income than I have as retired.
My wife now plays online roulette more often than me. Her sister now stays in our house, playing roulette with her. Their mother never against us, so does my son.
My wife and her sister never gamble in their lives, before I introduce roulette to them. >:D
They only play using my excel, can't play without it. Perhaps they don't feel like gambling. :twisted:

I only go to the casino with the wife anyhow so she enjoys it as much as me. My mother is a different bag. I think when we mentioned we go to the casino, she heard it as "mother, we have both started taking heroin"
Ken
Sounds like some folks are a bit jealous of you. That's a compliment to you!
Me? I talk to a few people, but I keep it on the academic side. Studying trends and all.

the most I lose is £50 on a real bad night. The most i win is £120. Im even I guess. I dont lose enough dosh to say its the end of roulette.
I was talking to a guy in the casino who had lost £14000 that week. It was weds...so I assume "this week " was 3 days.
I would probably die of shock.
Turnerfeck will never be a loser. Without knowing the details of his game plan but judging by his post he is on the right track. He will never have that " ROTTEN" feeling in his stomach on the way home from the casino.
On the other hand the cat who lost GBP 14, 000 that`s another story in his opinion " HE KNOWS HOW TO GAMBLE"..
N.D.
Nibbling on the cheese is rewarding wheras greed gets whacked !

One of a few here that is no BS guy. He reports what at best happens to most in roulette...breaking even. ;D As an successful long time gambler you sure know that even without knowing details of his game plan.
Keep the complement coming...lol...but i was planning to wear a hat later.

To mr j what size bank roll do you normally have for making around the 3g mark?
wento ,
My reply is not to interfere with your question directed at Mr J but smart and experienced as well as professionnal gamblers attempting to win this amount of $ 3,000 consider taking $ 60,000 to the casino .They consider their intelligent win goal to be 5 % of that amount.
Taking $ 2, 000 to a casino your win goal should be not higher than 20 %. The higher the amount one takes to a casino the lower the percentage of the win goal should be.
N.D.
P.S. There is more to winning than just a good system
Funny enough NB, I mis-read your PS
I thought it said "theres no more win in a good system"
However...that actually makes sense. Just because the system is fantastic....its the expectancy of the nights work...i.e 20% of BR which wins.
In order to win one must run on ALL 4 cylinders.
Knowledge of the game, proper bankroll, Money Mangement, and Discipline .
N.D.
I don`t gamble,. The casino does by permitting me to play there.
But do I win every session? Heck no.But I don`t make it easy for them .
Ken, tell them u stopped this "monkey business" and if they ask where u go for long time and stuff like this -- just make up something like "traveling, blah-blah-blah". People generally don't believe in winning in gambling (and that's really common sense), and when something goes out of their understanding they get somehow either confused or don't believe u. In any case it is not good neither for them or u.
So such things should be shared only with selected circle of very close understanding people or
just out of necessity only.

Someone once asked me does it pay to go to a casino? My reply " Do you get any return when you paid 225 EURO ( times 2) for a seat at the opera?
Silly look and silence. was the reply
If I want to jet to a casino and play my 3 sessions of roulette it is nobodys business
The reason: I want to play there .

To mr j what size bankroll do you normally have for making around the 3g mark?
2-4K, depends. Its not unusual these days, a smaller win (1K) and I PREFER to leave.
Ken
Ken, can i ask u about your average winnings? i mean if u deduct losing-- how much do u get on average a month or week? U don't really have to answer if u don't want. I dont wanna be annoying. Just curious. How much one can win average with 4k bankroll.
A lot of our local friends know that we visit the Indian casino from time to time but almost all of them are there to play the slots.
In my case I'm there to play baccarat.
They know that I'm serious about the game when I get there and not to even think about small talk during the game if I'm seated and playing. Normally I never see anybody until they're all done and ready to leave.
On the way home the usual conversation is how much most of them (if not all of them) lost on the machines and I only get maybe two questions about how my game went.
At the club I'll get the occasional "How's your bac game going?" or "Are you still winning at baccarat?" but that's about the extent of people asking me about my casino time.

Well, you'll need more than 4K, what if you lost it? I have, quite a few times but you know how it goes...... as long as you are taking in more than you're losing, everything is fine.
Do I win (net) every week? Nope but MOST months I come out ahead or down 'somewhat'.
2010 was one of my best years (dont ask).
