NC’d as I post my 4am thoughts…
Recently, I have become a rather frequent player of roulette.
i have tried various different approaches, and have found that on four occasions lately I have won over £50 in profit from these FOBTs through one particular strategy.
I put a small initial amount in the machine, maybe £10, and then bet perhaps £3 on red or black. The maximum stake is £2 so if I place £3 on red or black then the spin bar (red or green) will offer a 66.6% chance of activating the roulette feature. More often than not, I have been successful in placing a winning bet on red or black which increases my credit to £16 or £18.
I then consider the £6 to £8 “profit” I have made as “free bets” where I can take riskier bets without worrying about losing the original £10 “capital” I staked.
My strategy has always been to place between £1 and £2 on 0 or 00.
I feel that these machines will more frequently return 0 or 00 as it is these that give the “house edge” to the bookmakers.
I have played this strategy five times in the last two weeks on roulette FOBT’s in various different bookmakers and service stations (when I have been out and about) and on four of the five occasions I have been successful and placed a winning £72 bet on 0/00.
On average, I have only put £30 into the machine before I achieve this payout, resulting in a £40 profit each time.
I did lose £25 yesterday in Ladbrokes (I never seem to have much luck on their machines), but overall my strategy has paid off and I would say that I am in profit generally.
Has anyone else been successful on these machines (the ones in the bookmakers) using a similar strategy? Can you share your tips?
I feel that my strategy pays off more often than not, and having staked a few hundred pounds on these machines in the last few months I think I am in profit still, which is a good achievement.
Does my strategy/playing approach make sense?
I feel that 0/00 are more likely to come up on these machines as it is these numbers that give the house its advantage For instance, if 0 or 00 come up, all bets on red or black/odd or even automatically lose, so the bookmakers are more incentivised to have 0/00 come up more often on these machines?
AIBU to continue playing these machines frequently and consider roulette as part of my income?
i feel that if my strategy continues to work I will be able to use roulette as a way to increase my income by about £100 per week.
I am quite a conservative player and can quit when I realise when my strategy is not working. For example, yesterday, I left the bookmakers when I lost £25. I had another £50 in my purse that I could have kept putting into the machine but I realised that it wasn’t my day and walked away. Last month I lost £100 after I emptied my purse, but this was before I worked out how these machines worked and developed my 0/00 strategy.
Since then, I have won my £100 back and slightly more through my 0/00 strategy. I would say that despite my £25 loss yesterday, I am still marginally up through the previous wins I have had.
Does anyone else who plays these roulette machines feel that 0/00 will come up more likely, and have you had success in betting this way on roulette?
