Now i'm no statistics major, I had two stat classes in college about 3 years ago but forget almost all of it. But basically, my friend showed me this pdf about a roulette strategy where you play 1st 2nd 3rd tweleve. What you do is you wait for a time when it hasn't hit that section for 8 times... then you bet on it. You bet 3 then 4, 6, 9, 13, 20, 30, 45, 67, 100. He is convied taht it works and I am still on the fence because each spin is an independant event. I have been working on a program to auto play the table and record the results... but can anyone tell me if this is even worth my time. Thanks
Your program that you are creating should be an easy one to create in Microsoft Excel. According to your post, you wait until 8 non section numbers and then bet on that section. If it hits within the 9-18 spins you win 3-5 units. If you wait until the section didn't hit you will only be playing about 3% of the time (if you are tracking all 3 sections then you may be playing up to about 9% of the time). Then you have the times where a section doesn't hit for 30+ times and usually by the 20th spin you are at table max and the system doesn't work!
Mainly doing what your friend is doing is only playing maybe 10% of the time, and hoping that a bad streak doesn't happen.
Message me if you have a question on what I did, and you can look at the numbers yourself.
I think this forum needs a sticky explaining roulette to the mathematically challenged.
Roulette is the one came in the casino that brazenly displays the house edge so that anybody with a rudimentary understanding of probability can see it, yet it seems to be the game that everybody thinks they can beat, usually with worthless progressions or hedges.
There are really only two ways to beat roulette: Physical prediction, which can be done with computers, which is illegal just about anywhere, and which probably can not be done by eye, although some people claim they can, or finding a biased wheel, which most casinos know enough to prevent. As far as online roulette goes, neither of these methods is viable.
There is no way to add negative numbers to get a positive number. No betting system will convert a -EV game into a +EV opportunity.
No, but multiplying negative #s gets you into positive---so the next bet would change the first neg bet into positives on the second bet.
The third bet would be negative again, the 4th positive etc...
So you need to bet the max on even spins and the minimum on odd number of spins. Be careful not to play this system too long in any one casino 'cause they're sure to ban you if they catch you.
so, is that betting the max on even spins on the red or black, or min on the red or black, because I would think betting max on the even spins on the even numbers would make the most "CENTS" wouldn't it? The best way to play it to make money is to not play it?

BS. Explain what you are doing to the casino. If you bet big enough, you'll never pay for a room or a meal again (but you losses will be a lot more than the meals or room would cost).
