Very true. 2 years ago at Borgata in AC, the display board was all black. A large group had formed around the table, everyone throwing money on red. Wads of cash. 19, 20, 21 black. People chasing Red were trying to borrow money from friends; they were asking the dealer to WAIT while they hit the ATM. 22 in a row black and wads of hundreds and stacks of chips were on red...Black again! Most of the chasers were broke now and with less money on red it finally hit, was 23 or 24 spins.
So, yes, it WILL eventually hit red - but you'll likely be broke or at table limit before it happens if you catch a bad streak.
You only recieve partial credit for the math. 0.39% chance of losing (0.54^9), 99.61% chance of winning for each run of nine consecutive spins. You failed to note that each win is worth $1 and each loss is worth $511 (1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256, nine spins of the wheel). So if you make 10 000 attempts and win 9961 times and lose 39 times, you would be down over $5 000
I guess if I look back from last year, somewhere on here I told someone else....

five or six times i have gone into online casino's in a drunkin stuper and every time i wake up the next morning pissed- Always say i will cut my loses at 50 dollars and the next thign i know i am down 250.. Happens to the best and havent done this for a few years now-- I convinced myself the only way they get their money back is if i do something and play online casino's!! I dont cre what they say! they are rigged! You always win the first half an hour but it comes down fast!
Online Casino is rigged & not regulated by any sorts or means, regardless as what is said.
I lost 6 Dimes a year ago to two different Books, over a 3 month period on BlackJack.
Turned of all Casino games of chance.
Online Casino IMO is a trap. It entices you with early wins & then sucks you into a loosing Abyss.
Beware of local books that give you a large credit line for sports betting but allow you to use that credit line for their casinos too!!!

Bzzzt. Wrong.
It has been mathematically proven that there is no system
(Martingale included) that can take a combination of -e.v. bets and make
a positive return.
What once needs is an infinite bankroll, which is impossible.
If one is going to play the stupid Martingale System, they'd be getter
off with a game with a lower house edge, like Baccarat.
For an excellent read on the uselessness of betting systems

On this page the wiz explains how he offered $20,000 to anyone
who had a betting system that could show a profit after one billion
event simulations. One person took him up on it, and lost.
<center>The Wizard of Odds Challenge</center>
For about six years, from 1999 to 2005, I offered $20,000 to anyone with a betting system that could show a profit over a one billion hand computer simulation. Here you can find the rules of the challenge. However, in all this time I only had one serious taker and hundreds of people wasting my time, pretending to be interested but never following through. So in January 2005, I took down the offer.
My webmaster, Michael Bluejay, now offers essentially the same challenge on his own site, VegasClick.com. If you accept his challenge, and win, I will be happy to state as such on the front page of this site, for proving the experts wrong.
<center>A Fourth Experiment</center>
On October 19, 2004, Daniel Rainsong accepted my challenge. Mr. Rainsong was so confident he would win he doubled the stakes to my $40,000 against his $4,000. Although the rules of the challenge are based on craps or roulette I allowed this challenge to be based on blackjack rules with a house edge of only 0.26%. Can a betting system beat a game with a house edge this small and a 1,028 bet spread? Visit my Rainsong Challenge for all the details.
I've never seen a roulette table with a single zero and 9 other #s....but I suppose it's just a variation. Roulette is unfortunately, my game at CP in Vegas. I love playing over the board in numbers. I have had some really good streaks, but overall, the odds are some of the worst to be had. The guy who wrote about roulette players getting huge comps is correct...and there is a reason for that. Not taking into account the mathematical issues, I can't image anything more boring than just the black and red bets... I am a #s player on the wheel. I hit a streak and won $10,000 once, but that is due solely to luck. I have also watched someone walk thru the casino, come up to a table and throw $100 on one number and see it hit at 35-1. Again, pure luck. I don't know who said it below but the game is bad enough without throwing in a bad system. But you've been lectured enough. I'm sorry about your loss.
I went into the online casino myself after reading this, and out of curiosity threw $20 in. Played blackjack at $1 per hand til I hit $20. It seemed relatively generous.. probably cuz I was a new player. Also hit the roulette table. Didn't have the bankroll put in to play as I ususally do (playing slightly less than 1/2 #s between straight up and splits) but it seemed to hit my #s at a strangely high rate. But only playing on $20 it didn't last long but it lasted longer than it probably would have at a regular table. I can see how addicting this could be. Bad enough in a real casino. I am going to disable mine as suggested, immediately! I'll save the table games for a couple times a year in Vegas. Better luck.

And I got burnt. $250 down the drain. And for a 22yo, that's a shit-ton of money.

Ask Yourself This In Re. Online Casinos
How many times do you get a 10 card when DD, vs when you hit 12? About 3 to 1 on the 12. And how many hard 20's vs dealer 15/16 w/repeated hits to make 21. Way more than the "laws of avg", also way more than the hundreds of thousands of live hands I've played over the yrs. There is no such thing as coincidence here. YES, even @ a supposed reputable book such as BetJam or BM this applies. You expect more from a place run by a guy like Rick, but it just ain't so my friend. They're all crooked and scum when it comes to the "Yankee Dollah".

i am always amazed at the people that come out and say that online casinos are rigged. they don't have to be rigged when they get people like this every day who come in and play thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of hands, with a negative expectation.
if i told you i would pay out -110/-110 heads or tails on a quarter flip would i need a "rigged" quarter?
now take someone who thinks that if the last 5 were heads than number 6 is a lock to be tails and i don't have to rig anything...
if you have no discipline you should lock yourself out of the online casinos but not because they are rigged... that is just a way for most to justify their poor decision.
sorry to hear about this noles fan... when in doubt post and ask and this forum can save you a lot of coin.
