I am unaware of any legal means of beating roulette. (There are a number of illegal means and I am sure your wife would not want to pay the penalty for getting caught at that. It is a high advantage game for the casino. It really has nothing to do with whether you know when to walk away. You can win in the short run but will always lose int he long run. It is a pure mathematical fact that the casino only runs games in which it will win your money. (Or can take a percentage of your money when you play against others, as in poker.) There are a number of ways of legally decreasing the house's advantage in some games, like blackjack, but games in which this can make a big difference are becoming harder and harder to find.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-36382477640369899792014-09-14T17:00:35.790-07:002014-09-14T17:00:35.790-07:00Actually roulette is not a great odds game.

Black Jack has a "vig" of between .2 and 2% depending on the number of decks, count, house rules and player skill. Craps is 1.41% on the pass and don't pass lines. Prop bets are worse. Taking and laying odds on the pass line reduces the edge to .86%. Over the long haul the casino always wins.

If I lost, well, I'd run out of money in my right pocket, and then I'd leave the casino. I would typically end up with more than I had starting, though sometimes, I'd have both pockets empty....and would write it off as "entertainment", after all, while you mentioned that the house doesn't always win, they seldom lose either!<br /><br />If this is what the wife is doing, the husband shouldn't worry...though I don't understand why she hasn't explained to him what her "plan" is...even in basic terms, to ease his worry.<br /><br />$2/night is fantastic, and even if they have no luck for awhile, they are still ahead of the game.PapPappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853538237448202621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-23830438613193582952014-09-13T04:40:55.979-07:002014-09-13T04:40:55.979-07:00Lucky man.Lucky man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
