The roulette system of course is garbage. The paragraph about poker is correct up until it says "the bunching of luck". The reason you play more hands when you are winning is because your opponents will fear you more, and the reason you play fewer hands when you are losing is because they will take shots at you. Of course the "bunching of luck" or "rushes" do occur at a statistically predictable frequency. This does not imply that getting good cards on one hand makes it more likely that you will get good cards on the the next hand. What happens is that the chance of winning a number of hands in a row due to the rush gives you an additional chance to win on subsequent hands due to the opponent's reaction to you. In that sense, you are "playing into a rush". There is a fine line between this and what most gambler's believe. You cannot apply this to a game where the trials are completly independent.
