Printer Friendly Trends

Depending on the system used, there are three types of trends for you to recognize.

ALTERNATING TRENDS - Colors, Odd, Even, High or Low ALTERNATE when they come out.
GROUP TRENDS - There will be times when a GROUP of one will come out then a GROUP of the other.
NO TRENDS - There will be times when NO PATTERN (trend) is visible. This, believe it or not, is a trend.

WATCH OUT FOR THOSE TABLES OR EVEN ENTIRE DAYS WHEN THE HOUSE NUMBERS COME OUT AND YOURS DON’T. If you hit a cold, cold table - one that eats you up alive two times in a row, or even two times in the same day - take the hint, it’s cold. DON’T GO ON THAT TABLE AGAIN. It won’t turn, we’ve never seen it turn. You may not be superstitious but playing roulette has a way of making you superstitious.

Everything has its cycles. The first thing you must recognize is that you have bad luck days. Recognize them and don’t push your luck. You will wipe out your entire bankroll. It takes DISCIPLINE, but you must quit when you are having bad luck. You’ll have a run of good tables, run of bad, run of good numbers, run of bad, run of good luck, run of bad. The hard part is getting there at the right time and leaving at the right time. Charting gives you an edge but doesn’t remove all the risk. Considering runs of bad luck, bad runs and bad tables do come, it’s important to have WIN WALK and LOSS WALK goals for your entire trip to the casino.

NEXT, THERE IS NO SUCH THING THAT, AFTER A CERTAIN SECTION OR NUMBER COMING OUT, ANOTHER SPECIFIC SECTION OR NUMBER COMES OUT. FOR EXAMPLE, 0 USUALLY COMES OUT AFTER 28. OR THE 3RD DOZEN COMES OUT AFTER THE 1ST. Some gamblers will play NEIGHBORS, which is to bet on the numbers to the left and right of the last number that just came out. It does not work. Neither the ball nor the numbers know who, or where their neighbor is.

SYSTEMS AND GOOD MONEY MANAGEMENT MINIMIZE RISK AND TAKES SOME OF THE GAMBLE OUT OF GAMBLING. SYSTEM PLAYERS win MUCH, MUCH MORE than those who play on hunches. Most gamblers bet illogically, in an uncontrolled frenzy, randomly covering numbers with no maximum bet, no Win Walks Goals, no Loss Walks Goals and no mathematical balance. Then they wonder why they lose and blame Roulette, dealer or the Casino. They will learn how to play cards, learn how to play craps but never take the time and effort to learn Roulette.

REMEMBER: A KEY TO SUCCESS IS TO HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR MONEY. ONCE YOU GET AHEAD, WALK OR AT LEAST SET UP A GUARANTEE PILE AND PUT SOME CHIPS ASIDE SO YOU NEVER WALK AWAY A LOSER. LOCK UP SOME PROFITS. WHETHER YOU ARE WINNING OR LOSING, DON’T BE AFRAID TO QUIT. IGNORE REMARKS FROM THE "PEANUT GALLERY", IT’S NOT THEIR MONEY! IF YOU ARE WINNING BIG TIME EITHER WALK IMMEDIATELY OR KEEP PLAYING LOCKING UP PROFITS UNTIL YOU DETECT YOUR LUCK CHANGING, THEN WALK AWAY WITH PROFITS. MANY PLAYERS ARE WINNERS AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF GREED THEY ONLY LEAVE WHEN THEY ARE BROKE.

ONE OF THE OTHER KEYS TO GOOD MONEY MANAGEMENT IS TO MINIMIZE LOSSES WHILE MAXIMIZING YOUR RETURN. MONEY MANAGEMENT TAKES A HIGH DEGREE OF CONCENTRATION. A SMART PLAYER ACCEPTS SMALL WINS. EXPECTING TO DOUBLE YOUR MONEY ONLY HAPPENS IN THE MOVIES. BET SMALL AND MANAGE YOUR WINS AND LOSSES WHILE KEEPING AN EYE ON WHAT’S COMING OUT. GET ON A TABLE, WIN AND WALK WITH SMALL PROFITS, THEY ADD UP. SHORT SESSIONS ARE THE KEY, DON’T LET THE HOUSE EDGE WEAR YOU DOWN.

MERELY COVERING NUMBERS WITH AN INSUFFICIENT RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT WILL EVENTUALLY COST YOU YOUR BANKROLL. THE SUCKERS JUST GO TO A ROULETTE TABLE, THROW MONEY AROUND AND JUST COVER NUMBERS WITH NO RHYME OR REASON. SORRY, BUT IT'S TRUE. I know they win sometimes, but it’s probably 1 in 20. The casinos love them for just throwing money away. They may as well burn it! KNOWLEDGE and DISCIPLINE are the only way you have a chance to be a CONSISTENT LONG TERM WINNER. People who just know the rules are their own worst enemy.
RULES WITHOUT THE PROPER MONEY MANAGEMENT AND WITHOUT A GOOD SYSTEM ARE STILL THROWING MONEY AWAY. EVERY SINGLE BET MUST HAVE A MATHEMATICAL PURPOSE AND SHOULD BE BASED ON WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE TABLE AT THAT TIME.
Don’t misunderstand me, if you go to the Casino once a year for fun, then enjoy yourself and play anyway you want. However, we feel the more we win the more fun we are having. So we take it seriously in order to have fun (did we say that?).

THE TWO TOUGHEST THINGS TO DO AT ROULETTE ARE TO WALK WHEN YOU ARE WINNING AND TO WALK WHEN YOU ARE LOSING. Remember that the object to gambling is winning, not playing. Just being ahead is not enough for most people. Although, all those big losers would be happy, most people want to be BIG winners. With the proper MONEY MANAGEMENT, you will be able to become a big winner. IT'S NOT HARD TO GET AHEAD AT THE TABLES, BUT IT’S VERY HARD TO LEAVE THE TABLES AHEAD.

BEING PROPERLY CAPITALIZED AND COURAGE ARE IMPORTANT FACTORS IN WINNING. BOLD BETTING. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE HAD A WINNING STREAK DAY AFTER DAY, DON’T BECOME SO OVERCONFIDENT AND ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE TABLES ON A BAD DAY. BAD DAYS COME - BAD WEEKENDS COME. BE SMART AND RECOGNIZE THEM AND FOLLOW THE RULES. DON’T GIVE IT BACK. ONCE YOU’VE WON IT, IT IS YOURS, NOT THEIRS.
