The dragon is quite playful and has a good sense of humor. Recently I was stuck $50 after a session of live cash. Wanting to either be even or stuck $100, I decided to throw $50 on black. SSS, who was with me, advised that I instead throw the $50 on 17. Really wanting to just get to even, I went against his advice. The dragon chuckled at me as the ball landed in 17. While I did back to even, the dragon had the last laugh. I smiled a bit at the dragon's playfulness, and vowed to be more mindful in the future.

I witnessed this the dragon spit in his face as soon as he forgot the code of the dragon.

You'll hear many rumors if you hang around Dragon followers long enough. Some say 33 was once red, but the Dragon inflicted so much firebreathing upon it that it turned to black. Others claim that 33 left his world and can be seen on the baccarat table, trying to convince the Banker to invest in his efforts to overthrow 17. Still others claim 33 is still out there, waiting for the correct time to strike.

The great Larry Bird jersey 33.

Wow 17 and 23 have always been my only 2 numbers when I play roulette. Perhaps I'll have to try the rest of the dragon out to maximize my edge.

wow. forgot about the dragon.

Tried it for the first time the other weekend in Bally's at 8:30 in the morning after staying up all night.

Not much to say about it...other than I now have a Bally's pit boss named Allyssa waiting for me to buy her a necklace next time I come to gamble, probably comped myself a nice dinner and a room or 2 for the weekend, and my friends got to see me go on absolute degenerate mode making $500 bets on Black.

As for the dragon itself, the red army raped me for the first 45 minutes of it, hit 17 once, and made a slight comeback with some black hits. I then abandoned the dragon and went with my gut with $400 black/even/whatever bets. Felt like I was losing a lot but was still pretty drunk and enjoying my redbull vodkas so I decided to ask Tammy and Alyssa how much I was down.

After my guess of $400 they sadly shook there head no, and I kept saying $100 more until they stopped me at $1600. Wasn't a good feeling, took my last 4 $50 dollar bills out of my wallet and processed to lucksack my way back to $1350 and cashed out.

It's safe to say I'm never playing the dragon, or video roullette ever again.

If I have understood things correctly, this is where you went wrong.

Is there opposite betting allowed in roulette? Like red and black or even and odd? Is there some default? Which option is more common? I need this for my job and Google doesn't give definite answer.

Maybe I should turn to General Gambling, but this was the first thread that popped to my mind.

The man bought in for $100, and placed it all on red. 23 hit next, a great number for both us and this man who clearly had no idea how to play roulette.

Lastly, be sure to make sure your machine isn't broken. You can check this simply by making sure that more black numbers have hit recently than red numbers. Lastly, make sure when making your bets on Video Roulette that you are not going over taxes.

I was at the casino in Montreal on the weekend and heard people talking about the dragon but they doubted his ability to be successful in Canada. Thoughts?

Just want to remind you all that today is 8/17/10. Certainly no 11/17/17, but nonetheless a day worthy of paying tribute to the dragon. I encourage you all to take part or pay your respects in any way you can.
