Roulette Machines in the Bookies.

[Uncle Spielberg]

These machines are bent, they are totally rigged. They are fruit machines basically. The returns would be 70% tops, although 20% is probably nearer the mark in my experience. Its just luck as to whether you go on one of them in the 1 in 5 sequence when it is in pay out mode. The numbers you place are irrelevant as the machine has already worked out what it will pay out on that spin before you press the spin button.

DO NOT touch them. EVER.

you can rarely treble your stake on the bookies roulette machines. So if you use it with a £10 stake and collect at £20 you will be a winner. I'd say 4 out of 5 goes you will be "up" on your stake. It's knowing when to walk away

The bookies win as people dont know when to quit

No. The bookies win because the percentage is in their favour and even if it is fixed at 2 per cent it will grind everyone down in the end. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in the grip of a potentially ruinous delusion.

in the scheme of things your prob right,but hand on heart i can honestly say with my 5 numbers i consider to be lucky when putting my saturday fiver in i have done ok ,if im lucky enough to get to £20 wich i frequently do,i just walk away and cash my ticket in,yes ive had my 3 spins for a fiver and lost it but im easily op over the last 8 months on the machine i prefer,at the end of the day i suppose if you win their good if you dont their shye.

Maybe I should quit whilst im ahead then

I went into the local Ladbrokes Plc to watch a Horse race and watched some bloke lose £ 1600 in 20 minutes on one of the machines.

During that time, did you also notice sequences of alternating outcomes (red-black-red-black-red-black). If not, then the machines are not producing outcomes randomnly as an alternating sequence is just as likely as one of the same colour.

Notty & fellow posters

Forgetting the zero and depending on a "true" wheel.

What is random?

If I were to go into a casino and adopt one of the following strategies in advance and would not change it whatever colour came up each spin.

B,B,B....x20
R,R,R... x20
Sequence B,R,B,R,B etc X20
Sequence R,B,R,B,R etc x20

After 20 spins I almost certainly would have lost. But each strategy would have an equal chance of winning?

But say 20 blacks or reds came in a row. Would leave thinking it was an incredible sequence. But would think nothing of a B,R,B,R sequence x20 which if it came in was also an incredible sequence?

Am I right?

ps Good to have you back N's. Sod the housework!!

Thanks. It wasn't just the housework, other aspects of my life were being neglected, although I kept viewing.

Take this sequence of coin spins:
HHTHTTHTHTTTHTTH
If I told you this had come up, you would be unimpressed. But if you went and played tomorrow, and this exact sequence was repeated, then you would take note. Yet it is no more or less likely than any other given sequence of 16 spins. Your perception of its liklihood is simply one of recognition.
