Roulette Trivia Contest!!!!!!!!!!!

[Playborne]

hi all,

let's play a little bit.

so I suggest a trivia contest,

here are the rules:

I ask the first question . the one that will be the first to answer correctly asks the next question.

If you're unsure whether your answer is correct or not, wait for the question author to prove and than ask your question.

The questions should be related to gambling (preferable topic is Roulette). please do not ask questions or post unrelated comments. I think we will learn more and get fun at the same time!

So here is my first question:

Who is the author of  the quote : "You cannot beat a Roulette table unless you steal money from it "

[flukey luke]

answer:  Albert Einstein!

I will assume that is the correct answer.

Here is my question!

What was the name of the British engineer who was widely known to have broken the bank of Monte Carlo?

For a bonus 100 points. Who said 'be a devil John and lend me a green'

[Playborne]

Joseph Jagger !!!! I am sure that it is the correct answer, he is said to be a relative of Mick from Rolling Stones (my fav. band by the way  )

So here is my next question :

This roulette betting system involves the player making even-money bets and then doubling up his bet every time he loses.

Which betting strategy is it

[VLS]

Marty!



Question:

Famous player who gathered a crew of 12, for alternating on all the 6 even chances with a reversed progression...

Name of the man + name of the progression? 

[Bayes]

Name of the man + name of the progression? 

Norman Leigh + Labouchere (reversed). 

Next question: all bets on the American wheel payout -5.26% apart from one combination of numbers. What are they?

[Playborne]

I know the name of progression - it is reverse Labouchere, but I do not know the name of the man   

May I search Google ?? 

[flukey luke]

would that be the 0, 00, 1, 2, 3.  The house edge for that particular bet is roughly 7.9%.

[Playborne]

A 5 number bet maybe ? this is the worst one I've made so far  

[Bayes]

Would that be the 0, 00, 1, 2, 3.  The house edge for that particular bet is roughly 7.9%.

Correct!

[flukey luke]

Here is a difficult one.

What year and by whom was the zero introduced to the roulette wheel?

[Playborne]

Haha not so difficult !!!  

in 1842 by Louis Blanc !

My Question is :

if you sum up all numbers on a American Roulette Layout, what number will you get ?

[flukey luke]

well done playborne 

Many a wealthy aristocrat lost their fortune to the Blanc brothers!

[Playborne]

That's true, it's even said that they sold their souls to devil to get to know all the secrets of Roulette   

So my next question is :

if you sum up all numbers on a American Roulette Layout, what number will you get ?

[Playborne]

see the attachment that may help you

[MrJ]

That's true, it's even said that they sold their souls to devil to get to know all the secrets of Roulette   

So my next question is :

if you sum up all numbers on a American Roulette Layout, what number will you get ?

This is goofy. What if you added up the numbers from a single zero wheel (I'm sorry, layout), what number will you get?
