Roulette - Heavy's Sit-Down Game of Choice

Believe it or not, craps is not the only game in the casino. Savvy players have a back-up plan for when their craps game is off. If Heavy isn't winning at Craps you're likely to find him playing Baccarat, Blackjack, or even Roulette. If the table games aren't working out he may even take a cigar break in the high limit slot area for a little hit-and-run action. But just like craps - you have to plan your play and play your plan. If you have a question on slots, video poker, carnival games or any table games other than craps, this is the place to post. Let's hear about the games you play when you're not playing craps! What's your game? What's your strategy? How's that working out for you? Inquiring minds want to know!

Yeah, I remember that. Just shows miracles can happen. Walk up to a $5 machine, slip a $100 bill in and give is six pulls. If it hasn't hit - move to the next one. One 120 coin hit kicks off $600. Take the money and run. I remember doing that four times over the course of one day at Green Valley Ranch a few years back. Next time I was in there I couldn't get a hit. You just never know.

DF I think God created casino.com first and then later AllCraps. gambling.rec.craps was begat from the fog and most of the regulars there stayed in the fog. One or two (Shank) are still there.

Heavy, I'll sniff around for Prof H.

yeah Golfer, I got in on the tail end of casino.com. Casino.com was the first site that I ever posted on and I probably only had three or four posts on the site. I don`t think I got a computer until 1998 or 1999. Folks laughed at me then for never having used a computer , now they laugh at me for never having used a cellphone or an atm. Hell, I`m from Arkansas. What do people expect? My life is simple.

gambling rec was a wreck.

Streak-seeker's wet-dream alert:


Image
(Photo credit poker pro Jeff Romano who took this shot at the Rio on Monday night and tweeted it worldwide)

Eight 19’s (including seven straight) and four 20’s…all within 15 spins.

Rio roulette wheel hits seven straight 19s, and yes, this is really rare

Discuss.

Yeah, but if you demonstrate that kind of skill in placing the ball where you want it in the casino business you'll find yourself an unemployed dealer. The casinos fear collusion between dealers and player/friends more than they do any card counter.

.
Surely the ODDS of such an event is one in SOME REALLY LARGE NUMBER.

Who among us would have "TAKEN A FLYER" had we walked up on
that scoreboard about the third SPIN / ROLL ?

Had you been there and jumped in ,then won spin # 4 ,would you have taken
the winnings or PARLAYED ?

AND THEN ??? AND THEN ????

The collusion angle is also the one that I immediately alerted to as well.

There was a well-known every-day-on-nearly-every-shift craps/roulette player I'll call "Off-and-On Ron". He got that name because in a typical craps hand, his various wagers would be turned 'off' or 'on' (sometimes overlappingly so) mutliple times during each hand that he selectively bet on.

He also 'clocked' roulette dealers and I suspected collusion between him and some of them for about three years...after which I KNEW to an absolute certainty that there was. His way of recruting them was to 'challenge' then to try to hit certain sectors on the wheel. Most couldn't, but some could with uncanny accuracy. Those he toked quite generously.

Those are also the ones he recruited.

His pitch was simple. Hit his chosen wheel-sectors, and he'd whack up the net-profits with that dealer in a nearby coffee-shop parking-lot after their shift. After I confirmed what I suspected, he was able to continue his little enterprise for another two years before things went pear-shaped.

I started this reply several times...intentionally erasing what I had previously written because I didn't want it to sound, uh, too harsh...call it self-editing if you will. :D

At this point, I'll simply ask this seemingly innocuous, following question:

W7, were all of those twenty-two straight 5's produced over a normal shooting-distance with regulation dice using a casino-legal toss?

Turns out the wheel wasn't in play. The following is a blurb I saw on the Las Vegas Advisor site:

Further to earlier reports of a crazy run of seven consecutive 19s on a roulette wheel at the Rio comes a more prosaic explanation of the photograph Tweeted Monday that showed the apparent 3 billion-to-1 shot. According to a report posted in the Detroit News, a spokesman for Caesars Entertainment explained that "There was no one playing at that table. It was just a diagnostic test being done."

Good Morning, Kindred 25-Watt Generators........

MP/All......Well.....it does seem an ' off the wall ' post. But, what he is doing, in its ' simpleness '

reminds me of Sydney Ross Singer's 2+ hour appearance on Coast to Coast this week.

Sidney talked on how to stop ALZHEIMER'S and SLEEP APNEA in its tracks with a super-simple

cure. You raise the head of your bed a mere 20 degrees and presto ! no more sleep apnea and

alzheimer's is arrested !

So......I did what he said and put a massive 3 foot square pillow under my bed pillow that night

to raise my head the 20 degrees.

Wow ! ........ he was right-on !

I no longer woke-up in the night gasping for air

do to having my air-passages finally open ( do to gravity ) and I slept BETTER than I have slept in

years !

You will find him on his self-study....self curing....website at :

http://www.selfstudycenter.org

ANYWAY...............................

The poster writes :

" As I set the dice, I NEVER TOUCH THE 6 AND 1. I throw normally and the results are, so far, phenomenal.

I have rolled 24 point five's in a row. "

I think he means he has rolled twenty four ....' 5's ' in a row ....not....24 ...' POINT ' .... 5's in a row ?

Well, back on the streak of seven 19's rolling on that roulette wheel pictured further up the thread . . . turns out it didn't happen. A Vegas connection on one of the casino forums I participate in (as opposed to casino player forums) reported that the toke board in question was malfunctioning at the time. This is apparently a fairly common event with these boards. I know some casinos have shut them down - not because they fear the roll trackers - but because they were so inaccurate that they were slowing down what is already the slowest game in the casino (unless you count the craps game at the El Cortez).

Well that's a much more plausible explanation than the "biased balls" allegations that the Short Bus crew made. :lol:

For those who turn up their noses at Roulette...one of my closest friends is AVERAGING a FOUR FIGURE NET PROFIT each session playing Roulette over the past few years. He did the same over several years playing Caribbean Poker.

Does he have a system? Yes!
Is it for sale? No!
Does it work for anyone else but him? No!

Is he the LUCKIEST person I have ever seen in a Casino? YES!!!

Find the game you are lucky in and play it! I am RIDICULOUSLY LUCKY playing the Slot Machines; FIVE FIGURES NET PROFIT Lifetime, though I never won more than $500 Net Profit in one session.

I don't particularly like slot machines anymore but when the Craps table is closed or too packed..I sit down next to one and collect money; I made $800 PROFIT on my last trip playing the slots.

Funny Story from my last trip:

Standing online to cash a Slot voucher. The "CrapsForever Slot Machine system" is Cash in...hit the Win goal...voucher cashed out, back to the Slot Machines with Cash. I am 100% Disciplined when it comes to playing Slots except for the Craps Machine. I am ALWAYS UP on the Craps machine but I ALWAYS get GREEDY and end up giving way too much back. Back to the story...

Up $200 on the Craps Machine in literally 10 minutes, gave it all back in the next 20 minutes. Played my luckiest slot machine where I've been hitting up for nice coin EVERYWHERE, up $300 over the next 1 hour, slow grinding. Standing online to cash out, there's someone on line taking forever to get their marker from the cage. Took a $50 Slot Machine Voucher to some $1 Slot Machines (Which I never play) I'm a $0.25 Cent Slot Machine player. Turned $50 to $86, heard some funny noises...hit $500 bonus on a $3 bet. Got real hype until this Canadian lady next to me showed me a tattoo of a Slot Machine on her lower back...she flipped $20 to $2.5 MILLION playing the slots in Canada (No Taxes).

All this to say....don't EVER knock a person's hustle. They are people making money in every facet of every game in the Casino; I personally know a few of them...
