People come up with all sorts of
elaborate strategies to beat the Roulette table. You can’t beat maths. On
average whatever your strategy, in the long term, you lose 1/37th of whatever
you put down each bet. 18 odds. 18 evens. 18 reds. 18 blacks. AND the pesky green
zero. The Casino always wins. The only real winning strategy is to survive.
Lose as little as possible while getting the “free” drinks. Wait for everyone
else to lose first. The same is true on the other side. The Casino is only
making a little each time. Enough time (Endurance) for it to add up. Enough of
a buffer (Resilience) to handle the occasional big losses. Enough awareness to
realise that chasing big, fast wins, can put you at risk of ruin. Enough
understanding to look through the noise at what is really happening. Rule
number one has to be staying in the game. Rule number two is that adding value
beats gambling.
