5k Roulette Target

[Le_Chiffre]

ok so I'm 2k up now so i've reduced my bankroll seeing as the most drawdown i've encountered has been 2k (obviously it could be more than that in the future but hey).

[ilukan]

i don't believe in miracle bets...Especially the  same exact bets...They are DANGEROUS

expect that those are not same exact bets but circling round as the situation requires.

it's extremely hard to predict one or 2 of 3 groups of 12 numbers. Take to the account zero as well.
Now if u make  groups of 6 numbers (lines-double streets), it becomes quite more realistic task. Because u can include here zero as well (to bet sometimes 4 numbers 0,1,2,3 instead of 6). Also u can bet line 1-6, or u can bet 4-9. U can be way more flexible.

In this bet dear Iggiv zero is always in the play after 2 loses in the row...am not so
sure you know what am I about here.32 number bet either way,investing 3 un.x5,
lose 3,win 2,or come egal..zero always wins 1x5.....do some mats 2/1 odds against
this bet and you might come to some conclusions.

ok, I managed to get up to 3k profit but this morning I suffered a bad run and decided to throw in the towel at 1k stop loss, so i'm back to 2k now.

I speak only for myself:

That is the problem with fun money testing.  I can do all kinds of brave things!  With real money, I throw in the towel.  For me, this always loses.

Sam, i think it's partly because I drastically lowered my bankroll.  I'm pretty sure I could have cleared the line if I had my original bankroll (although there's nothing to stop me topping up my bankroll and starting with a labby line of 1k  i.e where i left off........don't think im brave enough now the moment's past).
Is a bit annoying losing 1k clearing a 10 unit labby line.  2k for 6 days isn't bad though. So i'll just carry on.

[Le_Chiffre]

ok guys it's bad news and more bad news for me.  A couple of weeks on and my 2k profits slowly disappeared i'm sorry to say.  So today i started properly again with a bankroll of 3k.   I began by playing other casino games with some good success.  I surprisingly easily made +600 units playing Casino Hold'em over a few hours but then made a slight loss of 100 units. I had a mental stop loss of 100 units BUT stupidly decided that +500 for a days play wasn't good enough and I went over to roulette to try and make up the loss quickly and ended up making the classic mistake of throwing good money after bad, resulting in a crazy overall days loss of 3,600 units.  If I'd have just stayed at the Hold'em table at 3,500 after the 100 loss I probably would have made it back within half and hour-to-one hour doing what i was doing earlier.
I've played casino games and played the financial markets for years but today's the first time I really fell into the proper compulsive gamblers trap and felt the uncontrollable urge to keep going till bust 'in the moment'.  Expensive lesson learned.

Just updating you guys.  I hope you're having better luck than me right now.

Le_Chiffre,   Thanks for your post. 


It's one we all need to see and ponder at length.


Do I have the self discipline to resist that urge to win back my losses quickly and wind up giving the casino much more than I ever dreamed I would in one sitting.


It's a demon we must all defeat.  He roams the aisles of the casinos looking for his prey.  He catches us at our weakest moment.  Some of the time we resist his temptations but it only takes one fall to crush our resolve.


Each one of us must look in the mirror before we go to play and remind ourselves that if we're going to defeat this game, we must be professionals always.  All lapses are expensive.


Thanks again and good luck from now on,




GLC

thanks GLC.

Thankfully I took the advice of yourself, iggiv and others and only put in 3k bankroll this time and not 20k.  The mood I was in yesterday I dread to think but I could have been tempted to put 5/10k down on Red or a single dozen or something crazy if I had the bankroll....

At least 3k, even though still a lot of money isn't anywhere near as bad as 20k.....and is possible to recover fairly quickly from as long as I don't make the same mistake.....and try not to make it back in one afternoon.

Thanks again to the all people that have suggested advice over the last couple of weeks. 

The target it now 8k.  Annoying to think that just 10 days ago I was in 3k profit and was 2k away from making my target and now here I am worse off than when I started.....but I guess it's a classic mistake taking 1 step forwards and then 2 steps back.

I will start again next week and try not to think too much about it this week so I can start again completely fresh, almost as a new player.

good luck guys.

LC,

Are you still playing your starting method??Did you had a look or consider my suggestion.

LC,

ilukan, yes I have been playing your method.  it was a slow but nice system that I used in conjunction with other systems successfully so thank you for your help and input.  I also adapted it a little bit and used it combined with a labby with good results.
Unfortunately the reason for yesterdays loss was because I tried to make up a 100 unit loss quickly, without playing any system, just recklessly putting money down on E.C and columns without any progression or plan.  I got lost in the moment and was putting hundred chips down, then after a while of no success 500s then 1000s........then of course bust.

I will have to rebuild my account slowly and keep in my mind always that slowly growing the profits is the way forward, not trying to make a fortune over night.
