[ExI] roulette players

[Frank McElligott]

A long time ago, some Englishman went to China with a team to play roulette for 30 days 24 hours a day. Each roll was recorded and the results run though filters looking for a pattern, any pattern at all, just one would pay them for a life time.

None were found, so the book was written and published. What I found interesting was some numbers slept(never won) for over 500 spins.  

Have friends who work as dealers on the boats(casinos) in Indiana and Illinois, and they say they can hit a section of the wheel anytime they want, I believe them, but anyone who attempts to win that way loses, as the thrill of the unknown is removed when you can not guess,,,

Gambling requires the guess for the fix, without the guess you are a machine(computer like)

Sample In the NBA playoffs when a series goes to a seventh game, the home team wins at a rate of 7 to 1.  Everyone knows this ratio who bets on Basketball in fact ESPN tells them it over and over. But when the Lakers played the Celtics, the money flows were are 50% for each team in Las Vegas.  When it come to Championship's you bet with your heart not some 7 to 1 ratio of success.
