The evolution of the roulette player / systems and methods

[TurboGenius]

I could be completely off-base here but I have noticed over the decades (yikes) -
When people start out working on methods or just playing at the table - they start with the even money bets.
You'll see systems based on Low, Red, Odd, High, etc then combinations L/E/R - whatever..
Then they evolve (after not finding the answer there) to the 2:1 bets -
the dozens and columns - 1 1 2 3 2 3 3 looking for patterns or how to bet on some idea that
looking at past spins can produce some magical formula - or that a pattern can be exploited if you just look hard
enough. (Turbo's 4 spin sequence method - and others). How to bet in such a way that there is some benefit.
Then they evolve (after not finding the answer there) to the higher payoff / less chance of winning bets -
the streets - the corners.... eventually even to splits...
This can even get complex where you can start on 1:1 bets, lose and move to 2:1 - then to 5:1 (lines), 11:1
etc etc.... I had fun with those kinds of methods and wrote a few.
Then eventually - finally, you come to players who bet straight ups - more complexity - greater win amounts with less
chance of winning.....
The "math" is the same, but you can certainly twist it into more directions playing the inside.
I'm confident that I'll never move backwards - finding everything I need to win on the inside bets only.
Deeper minds can even see that if your method predicts that #20 will show up - you play black 1:1 bet.
Why ? Because if you want to use a progression - and the table minimum is $10.00... you can bet below the min.
on #20 by playing $10.00 on black. (grab a calculator - you'll see how #20 can be played by betting black at a much much smaller unit than the table minimum would allow you.
But anyway - just a thought that popped into my head today.. the evolution of players and system junkies (like myself).
Perhaps the next step in the evolution is advantage play - but like I said before - playing the straight ups as I do will
result in my playing the same numbers as the AP people, only I'm using a mechanical method. There can be compromise
that both can work equally well I think.
Cheers.
Just my 2-cents

I think the safest bet is a combination of starting bet covering a large amount of numbers (at least 50%), and gradually reducing it down to covering less numbers (parachute progression), with a gradual positive progression.  Not sure if this makes sense

If you believe that we are just delaying the inevitable........then "hot" single numbers vs ec might produce more short-term wins.

Your post looked like a well baited hook TG, did you get any bites?  Or have all the fish got smarter the more you post? I will agree with you that inside betting is the way forward.

I've been posting on forums since Feb 2004 - so I'll ignore your ignorant comment. Come back in a decade or so and add your 2 cents worth, then they might have some value

Hey Turbo,

Your progression of systems sound very similar to the path that I took too.

Now, for me, the answer is definately inside mumbers, but in a cartain way. Track, then flat bet the numbers, but if Im going to win, then I will win big. I target my numbers and bet every bet that will win if that number hits. So, for example, the dozen bet covers the inside bet if it doesnt hit my number, but lands on that dozen.

Yeah, once I started betting straight up numbers, it was progression city on the systems. But now that I'm older,  I'll quietly wait for my moment to strike and put my measly flat bet out to soak the house.
