Wow even when I'm offered free money I manage to ****ing lose.

To make matters worse I went and put the fiver (+£10 free) on the roulette, played that game where you stick £1 on a colour, should it lose, double your stake and until yours lands and then start from £1 again, only to get a total of one out of seven land on black (which I backed every time).

Am I doing something really wrong or am I just constantly stupidly unlucky? It isn't big money I lose but it's the manner of how I lose that annoys me.

Maybe you're just reading too much into it.

Of course, Roulette is a negative expectancy game, just like any casino game. So even with perfect, methodical play, you will always lose everything in the long run.

 

The strategy you have described is a Martingale strategy and is very dangerous, because by doubling your stakes, you are putting your bank balance at risk quickly. Even if you bring a big balance to the table, to absorb a losing run, with doubling stakes you will reach the table limit very quickly and you will not be able to recover the loss.

 

The progression you will always see is a prolonged period of steady winning, and a sharp, catastrophic loss which gives it all back and more at a roulette wheel.

I can see the logic behind it, you're unlikely to lose (though not in my case) but you do only win £1 per win. One out of seven is ridiculous though.

 

Anyhow moving on from that (last time I ever play casino online, only did it because it was free)... had a fiver on Everton (WBA away), Tottenham (Sunderland away) & Wolves (Blackpool away), returns around £40. All three should win there but wouldn't be shocked if one of them drew and knowing my luck it's bound to be Wolves.

Put £5 on Villa to win at Anfield at 9/1. Probably won't happen but won on their roulette in store so I thought why not.

Nice little return.
