Happy New Year to the Inner Circle

ditto

glad to see the back of 2014, after a very good 2013 i must
of done 25k this year, mainly p!ssed on casino self inflicted stupidity realy.

2015

Ron don't know how to beat roulette, it has a negative expectancy IE, zero, and no amount of staking variation can turn a negative expectancy into a positive one. Norman Leigh's 13 against the bank "TRUE" escapade against the Bank using a team to cover all evens shots with reverse La Bouchere, is a good read.

RON,
thas bad, really bad.
you need to get out the game if you cant kick it.

ron,
our ahead in the game in 1 respect, you can see it has to change.
all the best mate, i hope it works out well.

the one thing about betfair is to learn from every mistake and keep improving as a punter.
if you keep improving you can start to turn a profit.
wining a penny is better than losing a pound!

im not allowed to bet on here, banned for life!

a misunderstanding a few years back,

you could say that Ron..a slight misunderstanding FFS

they were a bit unfair, it was the last resort to keep you off the forum

every time they banned you kept coming back from the dead!

this isnt a bore fest about me,

but the golden rule of betting imo is never drink & gamble,

i've no need for a bet when not drinking & just havent got the chase
factor inside me, if i was drinking and lost a tenner id go to thousands
to get that tenner back, but the sick thing is even if i did id still carry
on expecting more around the next corner.....hand/spin ect

Yes alcohol releases your inner demon Ron

But it is a good rule never drink and bet, especially you are gambling seriously

I always find I have  an have an extra bet or two when I am drunk

its one of them rules you hear from when you basically start
betting but for some reason think, yeah that don't really apply to
me!

I Done ok for a lot of years, god knows how,

.....but the last 2 i've experienced winning 5 grand drunk in one night & tbh
i wern't even botherd the next day & also experienced losing 5 grand drunk in one night
& the pain of losing so much out weighs the winning.

Just imagine the levels of people doing their bo!!ocks on these on-line
casinos!........i think on lucky nugget i was doing a re spin like every 10 seconds

I was hardly ever out of casinos from 1976 - 2002 until I joined here in 2002. I dread to think what I lost but it must have been well in 6 figures. Haven't been in one apart from for a meal in 12 years.

ha ha, done and dusted. No point getting upset about it. I've made it all back on Betfair.

as you say kenny no good crying over spilt milk.

was your money done with a clear head?

barst@d aint it,

I've know for a long while drink just leads to everything bad in my
life. evrything from diet keeping fit ect ect, drink = your not geared up
for the day ahead...just a waste of space basically

i remember hearing that never drink an gamble when i was like 17 and just
thought yeah alright, as if that applies to me just some older bloke giving
it i know more than you etc.....it's worse than ever now tho im talking like
the mid 80's now you've got a lap top in your face most of the day

yeah good night kenny.

kenny, "a good read yes, but still a load of boloks mate." I completely agree, but it's entertaining. I don't believe that the events took place as described.

I got "banned" from London casinos in the 70s because myself and a mate used a staking plan I had devised, we did not win a great deal, £216 per night was our target, We both had good jobs and the unsocial hours used would have earned us both much more than the poxy £108 each that we got when we won. and when we had losses the were very small and took over 4 hours before calling it a night.

My mate bumped into a croupier from Silks (The Sportsman Tottengham court rd)that he knew, he told him we weren't banned because we won a poxy few quid, once or twice a week, it was because the 2 seats we occupied (necessary for the "system")where worth X amount per hour to the casino, and we were denying them the expected revenue.

Looking back, a complete waste of time but we were young,and stupid, Incidentally The Playboy club in Park lane, was useless to us as you could not get near the tables unless you were there from early evening, because of Arabs and prostitutes. AAAAHHH the good old days.

I thought I had 30 friends for a minute, given the number of posts.

Thanks to those who posted before the great roulette chat, those in the middle of it, and those after it (that's Schubert)

see wot I dun there...

Okay, back to facking roulette then.

a friend and myself also had a system BTF which we called the plodders system. We used to go to the Derby casinos in the 90's, and a more unhappy bunch of table staff would be hard to find anywhere. We used to study the croupiers and the wheel spins, and many of them used to get into such a monotonous routine they were banging the ball in pretty close to where it fell last time, what we used to do was cover the 6 numbers either side of where it last fell. Obviously you got the odd bad bounce off the wheel but on a good night we were hitting it 4 out of 5 spins, it took them ages to work it out then they started speeding up the tables so we couldn't get all the bets down or they changed croupiers on a more frequent basis. Made some good money though while it lasted.

Was I ever in the inner circle elite? I honestly can't remember.
