The Point of Gambling: You hate to lose Part 3
When last we left off I'd basically lost the money I made at poker and thensome. I left the casino dismayed and with everyone in the world who ever gambled, silently vowed to win my money back. I didn't get a chance to do it at that particular casino because I would be occupied elsewhere. Plus my ride wasn't going to the casino anytime soon.
So working with what we had, we were at West Edmonton Mall when grandma decided to partake in the slots at the casino adjoining the mall. She stayed there while I tried my luck out at roulette once again. Now from my limited experience I've come to learn a few more things regarding how you play roulette. Apparently it costs more to bet on the outside parts than it is on the numbers. This itself is quite good for me because it actually prevented me from just betting red or black. So thus I learned a bit of roulette strategy.
A lot of people think that betting on one number is the key, but as with most gambling games, you have to realize your outs, your odds and increase your chances of hitting those odds. I'm not saying there is a surefire way to win each and everytime, roulette is about as random as you can get in gambling, but betting on one number or just red and just black doesn't make much sense considering that there are many other options in which to hit your number.
Spread it around, that's basically it. Spread the chips around splitting numbers, cornering them, even pile some right on the number. That is what increases your odds of winning and better yet, keeps you in the game long enough to potentially hit the jackpot. I saw roulette players who just dished out 50 dollars in chips on one spin, only to either win big, or lose it all. But what you really need, in which the world is in short amount of, is luck.
I hit that luck a few times and the payout was pretty fabulous. I think I made back the money I lost (including poker gains), as well as gotten an additional $40 on top of that. Of course being the fool I was, I ended up gambling some away, and thus only making a profit of $80 for the entire trip. Regardless it was good, it was fun and a learning experience. And here's hoping to my poker tournie this friday.

Since you're such a gambling nut, I'm just curious if you know about the Martingate system of gambling for games like blackjack and roulettes. I heard that it works pretty well, although you have to play smart so you don't bankrupt yourself. any experience with it?
