Default Re: $668 in 2.5 hours...

I made £400 ($800) in less than ten hours a few weeks back. The annoying thing was that I was up £1500 at one point but then lost most of it.

I've never used this roulette sniper but it seems to be a pointless over-complication. The house edge in roulette is about 5%. You gamble £1,000, you lose £50. In the long run. But in the short run you can sometimes make a pretty big profit (and sometimes you lose everything ridiculously quickly - it swings both ways). All this tracking numbers, changing tables, etc. is just bullshit. The ball has no memory, not even the virtual ball of on-line casinos. If you bet on red then you have roughly 48/52 chance of winning (I can't be bothered to look up the exact odds right now). This is true whether it's the first spin of the day or whether the wheel has come down black for the past thirty spins.

So many on-line casino players remind me of the pigeons from BF Skinner's experiments. Pellets of food were randomly released into the pigeon's cages and sometimes their release would coincide with the pigeon doing something, like turning round or tilting its head to the left. Before long all the pigeons were spinning and tilting and generally acting like Care Bears on crack because they believed that their actions were causing the food releases.

The odds are in the casinos' favour. Anybody who is surprised by that fact kill yourselves now because there is no hope for you. The nature of probability means that the longer you play the more likely it is that these odds will take effect. Simple as, end of story.
