Dan Deacon 55,166 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 we play at lunchtimes now and again. 4 of us stick a 5 spot in eachsome days good some days bad but we are all running at around £50-70 up over that last few months. its just a bit of a laugh to pass the time though, i dont gamble much more than a £5er a weekTurned £20 into £80 on Tuesday so £15 up was a nice wee sweetner to come back to work with each we play no systems. well some of the guys have numbers they always stick to. i just go daft on the thing with my fingers and carpet bomb it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 They don't need to be rigged to make a fortune. The nature of roulette means the house (or in this case, the bookie) will usually win. Casinos make a fortune from their roulette tables and they most certainly aren't rigged. Plus, if any bookie was found to be conning people using rigged machines, they would be fined crazy money by the Games Commission. It's not worth it for them when totally legit machines still make a fortune.This.Even a system won't turn a profit over a long enough period of time, and that's not taking into account most players playing stupid strategies.

Geo1Hero 7 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I am 70 quid up from the ladbrokes in paisley but I would say I only win 10% of the time due to being a shitebag and betting minimal bets Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_blue 10 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Straight up the middle for me covering all, including 0 and hammering 2/5/11/17/23. Always start off with low bets in case the machine decides to avoid the middle line for a few. When profit starts to show I always include bets on neighbours and increase stake but never on outside lines alone. Probaly not up as much as i think over the years due to sticking 20-40 quid in here and there or whacking coupen winnings straight in but more than satisfied with my win-lose ratio. most i've had out a machine is 4300 but seen myself stick in 20 a few times and reach 1000 - 3500. All depends on the person imo, if you go in with 20 and are willing to walk out with a tidy 80 quid profit, or take in 200 and try to make a quick 50 bucks i find you do pretty well, but if you go in with a ton in the hope of being able to retire these things will ruin you. Anyway Good Luck Lads whatever your vice Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky_ 893 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 played them myself a few times, but i finally made a pact with myself never to play roullete again aslong as i live.i came up with all sorts of gambling systems with roullete one time.I downloaded casino software once. the roullette allowed me to spin the wheel without betting, it also allowed me to skip the "bal spin animation", so effectivly i'd click "spin" and it would instantly generate a random number on the board.so this was my approach, id spin it over and over again until i got a pattern of 4 even-money shots in a row.so for example, id wait til there was 4 blacks in a row, or 4 even numbers in a row, or 4 odd numbers in a row.the chances of 4 in a row are 16/1, the chances of 5 in a row are 32/1 etc...so if it was 4 blacks in a row, id place £5 on red. So i was trickign myself into believing that i had a 50/50 shot on somthing that was a 32/1 shot. But in actual fact, obviously nothing that happensi n the universe previous to a coin toss could possibly effect the outcome of a future coin toss.if i lost the 5ver, id bet red again for £10, then £20, then finally, £40. In the space of 3 days i bankrolled £75 to 2k. Unbelievably i avoided a 4-in-a-row losing streak using the scheme. Then it all went wrong, i went bust in an hour, lost the lot.There is 1 thing to remember about roullete, its entirely mathematics that are stacked in your favour. For every 50-50 bet, your actualy odds are 48%. So, the more you bet, the more often it will even itself out and you will find yourself a 2% loser. It might be a fun punt in the short term, but never bet on roullette for the purpose of trying to make money. Theres far more juice in sporting 50/50 markets, such as </>2.5 goals. Especially on Betfair, as you can cash out any time you like to cut losses or cash out winnings early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 My missus works in William Hill, there is four machines in her shop that take in anything from £500-£1000 daily, that's £3500-£7,000 weekly, or £182,500-£365,000 yearly, just in one shop. So I'm sure you can imagine the amount of cash they make the bookies. The biggest win in her time there was £2500, but as I'm sure you can imagine that is pretty much rare. I love a shot at these machines, although I'm not going to stick silly money in, I'll only ever do it if I'm in the bookies picking her up, or visiting her on her lunch or whatever. Any gambling I do is usual coupons on my coral account, so other than that I tend to avoid the bookies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB07 24 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Won £400 from £8 after the St Mirren game on one.Have to admit though after winning and loosing a fair bit, its really not worth it. I'm not saying don't play them as there has been plenty of people who have won an absolute fortune on them but you have to think to yourself, the amount you've lost in the past, add that up and see if it adds up to what you just won, I can guarantee it will be close to the big amount you've won. If not you've been very very lucky! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
butthole 149 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Odds are in the bookies favour. Ladbrokes and co would be shut down if they rigged the machines. We are talking High St Bookies not gypsy, fun fair slot machines!Aye they're not rigged as such, but you cant win if you play those machines consistently. As a post above states there is a 2% margin made in roulette, i think its about 1% in Blackjack so if you have to play a game play that. Avoid the slots on those wretched machines that's the highest percent margin for the bookmaker. 10% upwards! infact just avoid them all together! They should be illegal imo!

Weird_Beard 99 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Roulette whether live or a machine will never be beating. SIMPLE. You get 36/1 when there is 37 numbersBUT.....You can increase your chances per session. What I normally do is bet red and black at the same time for about 6 spins. then take notes. The board is divided into thirds. at 2/1. If one of them thirds hasn't been hit in 6 shots I'll put the lowest amount I can on it (it varies by machine, but online you can do it for £1) if it misses then I put £2 on it and then continue chasing odds are paying me back are more than what I have put on since I started the system. It's all about odds. and you might have put on your £1, £2, £3 but with your 6 spins prior to starting this system means that your at nine spins and the odds are in your favour for that particular thirds. It's called the laws of probability.If you want a more detailed explanation of this system ask me. But make sure you realise that for as long as you play roulette you will eventually lose.

joshef 0 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 As the betting is depending on the strategies you are following while betting and little bit on luck. The bettor should bet on the odd in which he has the best knowledge and then on the best team which have the probability of winning the game.
