Default Re: Roulette: Can this game be profitable? My fathers gambling addicti

I believe that 'clocking' certain wheels and certain dealers is indeed VERY possible.
But it can't just be done on EVERY wheel....and not all dealers spin the ball at the same speed.

IF you are sharp enough to spot a dealer who spins the ball the same EVERY time or find some other sort of wheel-bias THEN roulette can be profitable.
But I am guessing that the vast majority of roulette games do not fall in this category.
I bet that advantageous roulette situations only come up EXTREMELY rarely...to the extent that if you don't know hat to look for then you shouldn't even mess with it.

I certainly don't think I'm sharp enough to do it...and I REALLY REALLY doubt that your Dad can distinguish the advantageous roulette situations from the normal "I'm going to lose 5.26% on each spin" situations.

That is one of the distinctions that your Dad doesn't seem to understand...along with the generally more obvious aspect that the martingale system is idiotic.


your Dad IS in denial.
I doubt there is much you can do unless you wanted to somehow get his money from him, get him banned from casinos, or get him into G.A. somehow.

He'll continue to lose his money.

Sorry for your situation as I know it must be frustrating.
I'm not really sure what to tell you.
If he can't see based on his pattern of losing and his bank-account statements that he is NOT beating the game then I don't know what other way there could be that can wake him up.

The money-losses alone should be enough to bring forth some degree of realization and they obviously are not.
