Anyone making money?

$193 for what?  Ken

[Pacer]

Ok, Ken, If you insist

Bella Vegas online casino had a Memorial Day celebration by rewarding all members with a $50 courtesy chip coupled with a $2000 wagering requirement.    I played roulette with my $50, met the wagering requirement and won $300.    From that point, the casino removed the original $50 courtesy amount, minus $20 to wire to the bank-minus $37 bank charge=$193.

I make money consistently at the live casinos but have found that the online computer programmes are just too tough to beat.

I just wish I was younger and single so I didn't have any responsibilities and could bet every other day.  This is because my strategy requires you to patiently wait until a trigger appears for a 'large' bet to be placed, and this only happens about once every hour so it's quite tedious.  Two 'large' bets per day and I'm off!

If you are looking for a consistent strategy may I suggest that you look for one that doesn't require you to bet on every spin and one that doesn't have a progression.

I hope this helps
Steve

Hi FLAT IN O,

Sorry you don't appear to have a real name that I can use.

I'm not quite sure what the numbers are in your sequence or the amounts that you quote. 

I mentioned nothing about me using a progression or betting to win a lousy $100!

Are you mixing me up with someone else or deliberately trying to be antagonistic? I've only just registered as a new member and I feel unwelcome already.

Kind regards
Steve (real name and proud of it!)

To be honest, I'm about even playing roulette.  I have concentrated on playing the Full Trio Play System with a little different betting selection method than just pick an even chance and stay with it no matter what.  I should be way ahead, but personal control has cost me most of my profits.

I think the hardest thing to learn to win is self discipline.  Don't play when you're tired.  Don't interact with the other players.  Don't play with money you can't afford to lose.  Stick to your stop-loss target.  If you get up a reasonable amount, say 25 units or more, DON'T LET THEM TAKE MORE THAN HALF OF IT BACK!  Don't set a win target.  As long as you're winning, keep playing until you have a downturn then walk.

Don't play with money you can't afford to lose is very important.  When I say money you can't afford to lose, I mean money that you counted as lost that you use for roulette play.  It's surprising how hard it is to follow a progression that get's steep because you get nervous about betting the money you're suppose to be able to afford to lose.  So, you don't make that next bet and take the loss, and bingo, the bet would have won and saved you a bundle.  This messes your head up and you start making mistakes, etc...

Roulette can be beaten, but personal control must come first.  I am working on self-control by playing with small size units and trying to work my way up to larger units.  It's like a sport, you can't play in the big leagues until you've paid your dues in the little leagues.  Muscle memory is important in roulette also.  

Now that I've backed off to small unit size, I'm actually becoming a better roulette player.  Guess what?  It's actually spilling over into life as well.  I find the same things that are helping my roulette game are helping every part of my life.

Cheers, George

@George,

You made some good points there.  You really do have to learn to walk before you can run.
The problem with betting the big bets is the emotional aspect about it.  To win at this game requires you to be detatched from all emotion.  It is hard enough to win as it is.  If you are also experiencing a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows because of your money management, then look out because you might be heading for more trouble than you bargained for!

Learning how not to lose or to limit your losses to as little as possible is a good first step.  After that part is taken care of, the wins should then put you in profit.

I personally think it is important to take a long term view of things.  I may lose today, this week even, but if I stick to my plan, I will come out ahead in the long run and that is a comforting thought that you can have in the back of your mind when things get a little rough.  There is no need to chase or risk big bets.  Keeping up good habits will bring the rewards.  

There was an old saying that "if you look like a general, talk like a general and think like a general, then you are a general" The same can be applied to gaming.
Think like a winner, look like a winner and act like a winner and it is pretty much certain that you will indeed be a winner.

A limit has to be set of profit and loss. A player even if had won initially doesn't stop betting till he loses heavily. This tendency is very dangerous. I think if you earn or lose 1/4th of your bankroll in the very beginning, you should walk away.
