1. Do you manage your bankroll?

Not so much manage, but more aware of how the balance has changed and when something is likely wrong.

2. Do you make too many bets?

My methods specify the number of bets to be made so it is not a choice

3. Are you too focused on one aspect of roulette?

Maybe, but it works.

4. Do you take too much risk?

Everything has risk, but manageable.

5. Do you try different wheels?

Finding the most suitable wheel is the first thing done

6 . Have you ever mixed up your betting style?

When bored, or needing to blend in more, but with understanding it is not best for bankroll

7. Do you even enjoy roulette?

Yes I love the game, but it is not the smartest or easiest way to make money unless you have perfect wheels.

8. Do you play any other games?

Generally no. Blackjack is too slow at earning, +1,+1,-1+1 etc.. and not as exciting

9. Have you ever kept a daily log to know your actual results?

Yes but I rather look at bankroll and only look into logs when bankroll is not as expected

10. Should you consider a different game?

Nah

1. Do you manage your bankroll?

I try to be careful and only deposit what I feel is the minimum I can get away with. I feel this helps with my focus and so I start as I mean to go on. When I triple/quadruple my bank, I withdraw and start again. (This statement applies more to online than at B+M)

2. Do you make too many bets?

I don't mind sitting in a B+M casino for 6-12 hours and grinding every last penny out of them, so the answer is no.  What I personally think is that the art of timing your bets is very important. So that means I could be twiddling my thumbs for 6 of those 12 hours.

3. Are you too focused on one aspect of Roulette?

Definitely not! That's why I spend so much time on these forums because I am afraid I have missed something or will miss something. If you are not moving forwards, you are going backwards, so I never think I have learned all there is to learn.

4. Do you take too much risk?

No, the 'red mist' disappeared from my game a while ago now. Stay calm and play your game. The casino has no real choice but to keep spinning that wheel. What's the rush?

5. Do you try different wheels?


Yes, recently started dabbling with the 00 wheel. I feel this has helped me improve as a player and given me an ever stronger sense of inner-belief. I avoid airball and RNG (not really for any specific reason, just that I prefer playing on a live wheel)

6. Have you ever mixed up your betting style?

I do play both the EC bets and inside numbers. My strategy is really just to go with the flow. My framework/analysis works on a spin to spin basis and can change frequently.

7. Do you even enjoy roulette?

Ha, good question. It was more exciting when I was a mindless gambler, however the consequences were not worth the excitement. Now I would say I just get a sense of satisfaction that a lot of my hard work has helped me to become a good player.

8. Do you play any other games?

I do place some sports bets throughout the year when I consider them to be very 'strong' bets. ie...cricket, football, NRL etc.. (For example....I think the Melbourne Storm are an absolute good thing to finish in the top 8 of their regular season.)

9. Have you ever kept a daily log?

I have a good memory and know where I am at with regards to my play. So NO is the short answer.

10. Should you consider a different game?

Not if it takes 10-12 years to learn how to play it properly. I am actually worried that one day roulette will cease to exist. What would I do then?

cheers
