assuming infinite bankroll, the system indeed works.Your class was quite correctly laughing at you, as am I !

did you actually read that article? The reason it won't work is because your risk of ruin very quickly becomes ridiculously high.

[phantom_lord]

table limits are a bit of a problem too

[PenelopeCruz]

Meh I'm pretty sure you could find enough action in vegas that table limits wouldn't be an issue

[Choparno]

I thought the whole flaw in the martingale system was that you eventually run into the house limit, so that you can't keep winning it all back by increasing your bets. With infinite bankroll and no maximum bet the class is right isn't it?

i've started playing some 6max as well, supermad, and i feel like there are so many spots where i can openly exploit, that i didn't notice before. however i've also spewed some and have been in spots where i've thought ''wat i have to fold here?''.

Do you think HU helps your 6max game cos you're put in so many more marginal spots that your hand reading improves faster? I don't play HU but you guys are making me think more about getting into it.

Uuh... they thought you could make a living from roulette using that strategy. I'm pretty sure u can't.

Yes. However were I in possession of an infinite amount of money, grinding out even more money (if "more than infinite" is even a coherent concept) by sitting and playing roulette would probably come in pretty low on my list of things to do. "You can make a living playing roulette but only if you already have an infinite amount of money" is probably not what the class had in mind.

roullete is easy, if it comes like 5 blacks in a row, its more likely to be red next, so just wait for a load of blacks in a row

note, if its 5 reds in a row, its still the same chance of red or black next

thanks me for this later chaps

More football betting talk needed, muggy little pricks!

I stuck $15k on Spain winning their group at 1/3. I like my side.

[THEGOATIAN]

wow sick

what is it chile honduras and switzerland

yeah no reason why they shouldnt win that group at all, it would be a shock if they didnt, even 1/4 seems fair, they should win this at least 80% of the time

[kjemmy]

what site is that bet on egg?

[eggegg]

Yep, I thought 1/4, or 1/5 seemed about right for the bookies to be placing their line at.

France are also 1/3 to QUALIFY from their group, which I think is pretty damn good. The only problem I guess is that hosts notoriously do pretty well, while Mexico and Uruguay are no mugs.
