This F***ing sucks

Here's a helpful tip: Always bet on the same spot, but every time you lose, double the stakes.

Ie. You bet 10 SC on square 1. If you lose, bet 20. Next time 40. Then 80, 160 320 etc. According to laws of probability, "luck" cannot evade Square 1 all the time, so sooner or later you will get all the SC you lost and some profit too. It's only a question of patience and SC funds.

^Um. Which law of probability is that??? That method sounds pretty sketchy to me.

Let's use a die as an example.

If the trials are independent of each other (which a roulette system should be), then your probability doesn't depend on your past results. So if you roll a 1 the first time you roll a die, the next time you roll the die, the chance of you getting a 1 is still 1/6. The probability hasn't changed.

If the trials were dependent on each other, then yes, I think that would be correct.

You don't believe me? Find a flash roulette game, and try this strategy out.

It works if you have an infinite bank, otherwise the edge is still with the house.

There's no mathematical proof behind your method.... :/


(I'm not even dealing with money amounts at this point, just the outcome.)

Hrae posted the Math proof of the method. But like William Blake said:

The true method of knowledge is experiment.

Try it.

As others have mentioned, the odds of landing on square 1 on your first attempt are the same as they will be on your 100th attempt.
