Casino Strategy

[Tom Shines]

Discovered this in a drunken night at Revesby Workers with mates after the FA Cup. Stayed there until 6am dominating the roulette wheel.

We walked home massive winners, myself pocketing about 800 and another braver soul leaving with 3k.

Discover the only form of gambling where the house odds are just about in your favour, if tilted ever so slightly to the house.

It's called the Voisins du Zero, Vincini, or "Vinnie" as we labelled it after 20 beers. It translates to "neighbours of zero", you're betting on all of the numbers near the green.

The wheel is laid out as thus:

This bet costs nine units, you're betting:

$2 on the 0-2-3 junction
$1 on 4-7
$1 on 12-15
$1 on 18-21
$1 on 19-22
$2 on the corner of 25-26-28-29
$1 on 32-35

Just under half the wheel is covered (17 numbers). Yet if you win, you are guaranteed $18 return per $9 units. Plus, if the ball lands on the 0-2-3 junction, you win $24.

Used in conjunction with a Martingale system, it's money all round.

Any thoughts, or other systems people use?

I don't know an awful lot about roulette, only played once. But won't you have just as much success in the long run if you keep betting on odds/evens or red/black, seems like so much work when you can keep betting on those (almost) 50-50 bets for virtually the same reward. By the way what is the 0-2-3 function and what's the probability of getting it?

yer played there last weekend me and a mate on a $10 table we had the last two positions and would alternate $10 and $20 bets based on how we'd think the boxes would go in that hand even at times we'd give up one box usually the smaller bet if we thought the dealer had us beat usually if a face card come by 4am everyone was backing our boxes and we left just after 6am with $2300 between us.

If you find a table that has an early surrender option (only online I think), where you throw away your hand at the start for half your bet, it saves you a lot of coin in the long run.

So basically, dealer shows 10, you have K-4, just bin it and get half your money back.

Okay, but I'd rather take my chances with a 2.5% house on roulette than a 10% house on football or 13% house on the pokies.

The edge is not the rake. There are no +EV bets in casino table games.

There are +EV bets in poker and sportsbetting, but of course you have to take the rake/juice/takeout into account.
