There was an article few days ago about problem gambling down under. 70% of their 23m population are gambling addicts, phew. There's why aristocrat so popular they know how to reel you in. The govt there introduced a counsel class for addicts where they bring in experts to show you the mathematics (probabilities and all that jazz) of slots and roulette. THE HOUSE ALWAYS WIN AND THE PLAYER ALWAYS LOSE, SURELY. They also debunked the notion and myth that if you can win or recover by maximizing the cycle. Myth being if you are putting in a lot and nothing happens, it will soon come; if you're winning a lot, stay on as more will come then stop after non is forthcoming. It's all a myth. IT IS PURELY RANDOM. Whatever theories, experience, advise are all talk only. Slots and roulette are for entertainment only, you pay for the price of entertainment. The bigger you play the bigger you lose, the smaller you play the smaller you lose, cut the cloth according to your size. Cheers.
