Casino Systems

Since the Martingale roulette probability theory sprung up in 18th century there has been an everlasting debate in the gaming community, focusing around the subject of whether casino systems actually work.

Since systems have been around there have been numerous pieces of evidence proving and disproving these complex systems.

Is it possible for casino players to win without being top class mathematicians or devising the newest undetected casino scam?

Fortunately for us we have some well informed members of the Betfair forum.

In regards to a post about the reverse labouchere system KING OF HULL commented in reply to a criticiser Slicer:

"Slicer you say that you have read the book I referred to so I am disappointed that you neither grasped or had faith in this system. You may think this system does not work because casinos "would all be shut down" but that fact is that this system is heavily discouraged by casino management purely because it is extremely effective.
To be worked properly six players working one wheel as a team is essential and this is where you will be sussed straight away. Yes,a wheel is totally random and the casino will always have the percentage call over anyone whom plays a basic strategy but it is the staking plan which is the beauty of this particular system.
Unlike "cover to win" where a player will win for a long time until an unfavourable sequence will force their stakes above the table limit and take back their profits this system works in quite the opposite way. Yes you will sit for hours sometimes winning a little or losing a little but once the wheel develops a sequence of any kind then profits will quickly develop.
Once the limit is achieved then by going back to minimum stakes and starting over you are not giving the house the chance to win back what you have already won. Patients and discipline are key but I have extreme faith in this system."

This topic has been heavily debated over the past month? Do you agree with 'the king' or do you want to knock him off his throne?

Looking forward to seeing you in the forums!
