Tales from the field...
I've been following this thread for weeks now (made a couple posts in the early going as well), doing independent testing of betting against 1, 2, 3 (continuously, re-setting after a win and not sitting out the remainder of the mini-game) using the 1-3-9 progression. Been having FANTASTIC results testing it this way, so today I finally decided to take it for a spin at a real casino that's about an hour and 15 minutes up the road. I just got home from said trip.
Anyway, I get there and sit down at the Roulette Evolution table, of which there are two at this particular casino. The plan was to win 4 units, go on over to the next Roulette Evolution table, win 4 more units, and skedaddle on home. 8 units will more than cover my gas money. So I proceed to play with $10 units. I win the first 3 spins, get up 3 units and just need 1 more...and then it happens. 1, 2, 3 right in a row. I figure that was just bad timing, hey it'll happen to everybody at some point...my time just happened to be sooner than everybody else's.
So, licking my wounds, I get up and head to the other table. I literally play ONLY 3 spins...you guessed it...no wins, straight 1, 2, 3, right in a row AGAIN. Bam, I'm done.
Summary: 9 spins, 2 sledgehammers, -49 units (-$500) in about 15 minutes. It took me more time to walk from table 1 to table 2 than it did to lose my two sequences.
Once in a blue moon flash of bad luck? Perhaps....but looks like it's back to the drawing board for me. Guess I'll check out this bet selection playing with a Labby or look in to GLC's recently posted progression.
I do believe that the right answer (perhaps naively, perhaps not) lies with playing the dozens, and I do believe in this bet selection, but it CAN happen. It's just whether it WILL happen to you while you happen to be sitting at the table. In my case, I seem to have a knack of testing progressions, figuring out something that works in testing, and having it immediately blow up on the first run at the casino.
I know people gamble for a living, and I do believe the HG is out there. Perhaps we're close. I look forward to seeing what finally comes of this thread...
Hey hermbob. Try 132 for euro. Me and nottophammer had success with that on euro wheels
Good luck and thanks for the results
Lots of good ideas in this thread. But at the end of the day its about luck. Will it hit the second u start to play?
Im continuously testing against previous 3. But i see you said you dont play the mini game but you reset and start over on a win. If you decide to play against previous 3 sequence dont do that, only play it in mini games. Most wins are in column 1. So play that the mini game way if you choose to play it. What separates this from past failures is not playing on a rolling basis. Sets of 3 only
