It is not difficult to take advantage of non-randomness by building a system of play and variant bets (changing denominations) when your system detects favorable conditions. The problem is most people have been conditioned not to think. They look to the websites, books and experts (adult people) for all of the answers. The only thing I needed to understand was the architecture and behavior of a device called a "random number generator" inside a computer. I took programming classes, have a close family member who designed integrated circuits (read" processors, memory and other computer internal parts) as a PhD., and exhausted this issue from a technical standpoint. Then, I developed a system, programmed it into excel (where there also exist these pseudo random number generators) and adjusted my system until i came out ahead. I then went to the casinos and applied the system until I could actually do it in practice (this took years and was still is the challenge). I've come out ahead.
Am I think only person who thinks for themselves? I mean, the whole idea that a "random number generator" isn't random should be a HUGE light bulb in every intelligent machine player's mind. At this moment, they should question every idea of advantage play and find a rational option. It's my experience from reading this site and others that VERY FEW people actually use this valuable information to create a system that makes money over time. I will say this, even when you devise a profitable system, that's not the whole thing. Applying that systems, by the rules, in the casino environment is the other half of the battle. Casinos have two real advantages in the mainstream : 1. promoting the fallacy that the machines are random (they might not even know this themselves) and 2. the design of the casino itself and how it's designed to affect your behavior (so it would be very difficult to follow even a working system to take money away from said casino). These are the two main ideas that a successful gambler explores. Unsuccessful gamblers understand these concepts but are unwilling to explore the solutions to these two main casino created advantages.
