Last post as a wannabe professional gambler.

[SimonZed1]

HI!!

I don't know if this is gonna be my last post here, but it is as the old Simon. Because the new Simon just got the revelation he needed to keep going with his life. I think I just swallowed the red pill...

I now understand that,  all I can say by having played roulette for a year with a multitude of systems, is that I understand now that all systems fails at some point.

I was lucky. They all failed when I was playing with the house's money. So nothing lost on my side. I have stopped playing roulette and went back to poker and blackjack. Not because I make money at them, but because they are fun. And with a 100$ bankroll I can keep playing 0.10$ hands for a loooonnnnngggg time.

I now follow the Ten Commandments of gambling.

You can find them here: link:://wizardofodds.com/gambling/ten-commandments/

The most important ones I believe are:

Thou shalt expect to lose.
Thou shalt not believe in betting systems.

With all the computer power and ingenious minds in the world today, with all the computers beating chess and Go masters, if there would have been a way to win at any gambling games, it would have been found a long time ago....

Gamble, have fun, don't over-bet your bankroll. And if you lose, because you will, then just think of it as the price for the entertainment that you got while playing those games.

Take care of yourselves, and, don't lose your life over these games. Play them for fun if you enjoy them.

I will continue to play betting systems and I will continue to read your posts. Not expecting to win in the long run, or to find the holy grail, but more because I enjoy them. It’s more fun than just betting on random numbers. But I don't expect to win with them anymore.

Luck is luck. Each spin is independent of the other spin. There is nothing we can do about it. As someone said on the forum, the past cannot influence the future. It’s the future that influence the past.

Take care everyone.

Simon.

Did very well for a while, but as I should have expected, it failed.

But the document still is very neat!! I still learned a lot from it. But everything is based on long term play. So in short term, it is very difficult to use.

Simon,

I like your honesty. 

[denzie]

Indeed very honest. We all got kicked by the wheel. GUT is something special. But I did lost 1k with it last night. As wtf toke back half my profits too. So I'm just going back to what did best all the time...just my parlay .

[Steve]

You know the facts have been said many times but are usually ignored.  Roulette is actually easy to beat on the right wheels. Yes, easy. The house edge is only small.

[Steve]

Btw the wizard knows math. He's far off the pace when it comes to modern ap.

And if you wanted to be a professional gambler, why did you ignore professional advice and waste time on things like gut?

[Turner]

Nice post Simon.
Ignore the "told you so" gang.
play for pleasure. The working conditions for a pro gambler are aweful. Its a shitty job with an aweful boss and even worse co-workers

I think the title "pro gambler", in most cases, is probably just a way to make someones addiction sound respectable.
Hope things go well for you

Thanks Simon for your honest post. Boring I know, but just play for fun and only with what you can afford to lose.

GUT is something special.

Why?

Genuinly sorry to hear that. You all conducted the WTF experiment with honesty and transparency

[denzie]

Why?

Cuz I did 3000 virtual sessions in wiesbaden. And around 1000 real. My br did grow a lot.

Yester I busted my br. But I've been playing this morning and got back 35% already.

When it comes to wtf....looking the trot...variance takes care of that.

Actually its far worse to have a 9-5 job - worse pay and longer hours. Even worse yet to call losing money fun, especially when its with the same approach that lost other players trillions.

Theres no entertainment in losing money. Casino owners laugh at the typical system player. When the days of roulette ap are over, Ill enjoy revealing what we did.

No its actually really simple. The physics and math is really basic and roulette is beaten every day. There are simple and common conditions that make spins predictable enough. Roulette is far simpler to beat than you think. It mostly takes patience and discipline. Its only impossible if you try the impossible.

Baiting? Boasting? Hinting? Where's bayes.
