At first glance, roulette looks like a very safe bet.on the surface, the game is very straightforward – just pick a number and we’ll tell you where it lands – but when you dig a little deeper, you’ll discover there’s a fair chance you’ll lose… big of it depends on whether you’re lucky enough to see the ball land on the number you picked or not.
Ah, well that’s the way it is. You take a chance, we take a chance, the casino takes a chance and you lose your money. How refreshing.
In fact, I was thinking the very same thing when I first read about this system. A pure chance, right?
These systems, when operated in the manner wherein the probabilities are built into the game, and the results of those figures calculated, are not completely random at all. They are not completely random, because a mathematical process is involved, and the end result will always be in the numbers that the wheel “returns”.
It will take a lot of shoe runs – millions, if necessary – to ensure that the wheel never returns to the same result twice. Why do they do that? Any time the numbers are the same, the house advantage is the same no matter what the numbers are. (Notice how they never roll the same number 28 times… surely a pattern is discernible.)
Most casinos, therefore, feature a game that is among the very few that do not offer a game that is regarded as a game of chance? If you’ve ever been to a casino, you’ve seen many people playing a handheld “lucky” number (one you know is going to be a winner) or sticking a chip (somerandom number) on a corner of the wheel in a “crapless” (no significant variation) area. The casino doesn’t know you, they don’t know the game you’re playing, what your stakes are, whether you’re a novice or experienced, experienced or novice – but they guess, and they guess poorly.
Better yet, they guess the statistical outcome of the spinning wheel (remember percentages, and all of them are very well documented in books and articles). Better yet, they’ll calculate the odds in such a way that they’ll accomplish the House goal of having the odds always in their favor.
Why do they do that? As you may know, the casinos have a mathematical advantage over the player, and they’ve been playing that advantage down to the wire with regards to the players.
One of the reasons they do that is, as I mentioned earlier, they always assume the player is a novice. That is, they assume the player will throw the ball a certain way each time, based upon the previous data. They also assume the player will keep rolling the number, unless there are some uncommon factors. (They aren’t normally mistaken.)
We know this from the continually changing results, or bets, of the game. We also know this almost as soon as the game is started. (Read my other articles on this site for a detailed explanation of the mathematical fallacy used in the game of roulette.)
In fact, you can set the stage for yourself to win roulette, whether the game is in progress or not by observing the numbers and the throws of the roulette wheel, before you bet. observe, during the course of the game, that the wheel produces strange even money outcomes: Some numbers come up more than others, and yet they may finish counting out, or the opposite. (Recall the pictures of the fish and the hammer in Nineteen Seven, where you first see the moon.)
What are the Odds?
We’ll prove this at our observatory, regarding the even money bets, before we look at the odds. Let’s say we toss a coin, we’ll count how many heads we have to ride the tails. We’ll count 1 to 36, and determine the probability of coming up heads (or tails, if you like) is about 18%. This probability doesn’t change, now that the coin has landed, even if we take away the air. Now the odds are 18% to 20% or, less emphasis needed, to about 17%
However, there are additional rules, depending upon the type of bet you make, and upon the particular excitement of the bet.
If you throw a donation, you can get about a 5% advantage, making it unattractive to the player. (Don’t forget the air in the wind, and the momentum of the horse, and the fact that horses are creatures of habit, and a quick glance at the ground shows that they have not trotted this way for a while.)
If you throw a chance bet, you can get a little better. The face value of this bet is to determine the likelihood of a “Rtp Live Game Slot” (or a win)
