I guess I'll find out. Its a shame I have to start a new thread just for this BS. A damn waste of my time.
For a 00 wheel >> I bet one number, one spin. My chances are either.....
38 to 1 or 37 to 1 ??
(Keep something in mind, by NOT answering, you actually are. Read between the lines on that one. If a few of my other roulette buddies even knew I was having this SILLY conversation, I would be laughed out the door).

Here's how I look at it:
If there are 38 slots on the wheel you have a 1 in 38 chance of winning and the odds are 37 to 1 against you.
38 numbers. 37 you lose--1 you win---37 to 1 odds. Of course, your "method" clearly reduces the odds to about 25 to 1. Wow!!!
In another thread triple j corrected me because I called his strategy in roulette a "system" . He said that what he does in roulette is not a "system" but rather a "method".
The following best describes the difference.
"Another important difference between method and system is that method is guided by mental activity whereas system is guided by logical activity. This is the reason why many mathematical problems are solved by different methods whereas philosophical and political problems are answered by different systems."
I stand corrected--as there certainly is no logical activity here--so it can't be a system.
Is that enough for you? Who else do you need to chime in before you'll admit you're wrong and that the thousands of hours of study, practice and research you've conducted did not help?
Look at it like this. The odds against hitting a single number in a single spin are 37 to 1 against you. The casino pay off is only 35 to 1. The 2 units they withhold amounts to the house edge of 5.263%. If the true odds were 38 to 1 against you, the house edge would inflate to 7.895%.
By the way, I am not a "nut" nor "R2D2". You're the one claiming:
1. You make a living being a professional roulette player.
2. You can predict which numbers are "hot" and likely to appear more often than others.
3. You don't lose your bets when the ball doesn't land on your number.
4. You think the odds are 38 to 1 against you hitting a single number.
5. You've studied, researched and practiced for thousands of hours and several years on one of the worst casino games for the player in terms of house edge.
Why take our word for it though? Just Google a roulette odds chart. You'll get your answer quickly enough. Here's one:

Well I see JJJ is back to ignoring posts he started and been proven wrong. It takes a big man to admit he was wrong all along and apologize for his behavior. I don't expect one will be coming.
Ya know, a2a3dseddie, sometimes when someone says nothing it says a lot.
I wonder why Spock, aka arci, hasn't made one of his off-the-cuff assertions on this one yet. Oh that's right....it wasn't made by ME, and he can only concentrate on that which resides inside his head.
Rob Singer, welcome back. I look forward to mr jjj returning. Curiously, he hasn't. But when (and if) both of our stars are here, I think the discussions will be memorable.
