  1. because the american roulette has a double zero which is meant to s***w ur chances even more. the first roulette did not even have one zero, which meant ur chances of winning were strictly 50-50.

    actually, a group of guys did beat the roulette like 50 years ago by useing mathematical calculations and they made a lot of money. look for it online and u will find it.


  2. The reason the game hasn't been beaten is because mathematically the house has an edge of 5.26%.  I'll give an example later.

    Now the game has been beaten.  But I've never heard of it being beaten in a fair way.  I saw a documentary about a group of people who observed roulette tables for hours and collected about 10,000 spins worth of information.  They would then go back to their hotel room, feed all the numbers into a computer and see if the wheel had a natural bias.  Some wheels can get a little out of balance over time and thus can be a little bit biased.  This small bias can be exploited enough to neutralize the house edge.

    The casinos figured this out, and started moving wheels around the casino and ensuring that wheels were calibrated.  They also have one of those scoreboards on them these days that shows the last 20 numbers or so, but also monitors the wheel to ensure it is random.

    Then the other option for beating roulette is the device.  I've heard of people using shoe based computers to calculate where the ball may land based on the user telling the computer when the ball was released.  And I've also heard of a far more accurate concept of using a laser device to measure the speed of the wheel and ball and calculate where the ball will land.  But of course the use of devices in casinos is illegal (certainly in the US).

    Now back to your concept that any question will always have an answer.  Let me illustrate why that is not true.  Let's say I invent a game called Find The Lady.  In my game, you pay $1 to play.  I shuffle a standard deck of 52 cards fairly and randomly.  You then get to pull out a card from the deck.  If it's a queen, I pay you $10.  Otherwise, you lose.

    Now since the deck of cards has 4 queens, there is a 4/52 or 1/13 chance that you get a queen.

    So on average, you can't possibly win this game.  Mathematically I am paying you $10 if you win, but you only win one in 13 times.  So you will typically lose $12 for every $10 I give you.

    Without cheating, you will never beat this math in the long term.  It's the same as roulette.

  3. KingCobraPoker is correct.  Just because something can be imagined, does not mean it can be done in reality.  

    People have beaten roulette.  I have beaten roulette.  I have also been beaten by roulette.  It can be beaten, in the short-term.  There is no system that can offer long-term profits playing roulette.  

    Any philosophy that suggests that impossible things can be made real should be re-examined.  

    Or, if you prefer, my philosophy does have an answer to the question about the possibility of consistently beating roulette.  The answer is, no.

  4. its like guessing blindfolded with your hands behind you back standing upside down bent in half to pick up a specific colored needle with a tweezer from a bundle of needle

  5. That's like asking why is it that people couldn't turn lead into gold back in the middle ages.  Actually it would be theoretically possible to get gold this way and with roulette it's simply not theoretically possible.  It's like I'll let you flip a coin and for ever head I'll give you a dollar and for every tail you'll give me one plus every ten flips you have to pay me a dollar for the privilege of playing.  You think you're going to make money long term here?

    This is not to dis roulette or other casino games but the appeal here isn't expected value in terms of beating the game in the long run it's the expectation of beating it in the short run which is very possible.  In other words getting lucky :)

  7. A single chip placed on a number bet pays 35-1 (i.e. a $1 winning bet returns $36). However, a roulette wheel has 36 numbers as well as a zero (and possibly double zero). As such, the true odds of a number spinning in is 36-1 or 37-1. As such, if a player covered every number (at a cost of $38 on a double-zero table) they would only get back $36
