OTOT..or?? <<Thanks....I have spent a little too much time in casinos and heard way too many people talk about systems that somehow change the odds. I love to play (craps being my favorite game) but it is just entertainment....unless you are counting cards at blackjack.>> Slacker Hi Slacker and Voltaire, What I believe is that if you play any house game over any extended period of time the odds are that you will lose. Cards, wheels, tiddly winks. With roulette, over any extended period of time the distribution of hits will be 1/3 with the devilish greens tilting the odds in the favor of the house. I simply look for a wheel that has not hit a particular 1/3 lately and play that one. If it's really due, Ill double after a loss. I never stay long, 1-3 bets max. Win or lose I leave. Same with blackjack 10-15 hands, increasing bets after a string of losses. Dealers and spinner guys hate me. (I always tip em though) <gg> I'll defer to the science but rely on my experience. Q Rocks!
