Well, managed to capture most of last night's effort.
I even used the chat input field to throw in some commentary/predictions about what will happen.
Compared to my previous experiences, this session looked relatively normal, but still showcases some typical Evo-isms.
Starting money: 58.32
SPIN 1
Ball typically lands on 32, in an area where only 19 and 32 were losing numbers.
Could've been worse, I suppose. Only lost half of my chips for that round.
RESULT: -8.5 (money left: 49.82)
SPIN 2
Ball initially touches down cosily in the middle of chipped numbers. Rolls on until it finds the first unchipped one.
RESULT: -20 (money left: 29.82)
SPIN 3
Ball touches down right in the middle of the big winners (1+neighbours), but bounces right off it and lands way back on the 12.
Could've been worse, because I had half a chip on that. Still frustrating.
RESULT: -11 (money left: 18.82)
SPIN 4
Another 32, another "could've been worse".
RESULT -1 (money left: 17.82)
SPIN 5
Looked for a moment like it would land around the zero, where I'd chipped heavily. Ball escapes and lands on 2 instead.
RESULT: -12 (money left: 5.82)
SPIN 6
Down to my last chips. That's pretty much the only time when I stand a decent chance of winning anything. Lots of people experience the same thing at Evo. Can't win a single round until it's their very last. I figure it's to give them a spark of hope and keep them hooked.
As you can see, I typed this into the chat box as it happened. As certain I was that I'd lose all the previous spins, I knew 90% that I'd win this one.
RESULT: +12.50 (money left: 18.32)
SPIN 7
Ball skips towards the big money (17 and 25), but then bounces right off them and rolls back to 30.
RESULT: -14.50 (money left: 3.82)
SPIN 8
Down to the last few chips again, so feeling pretty confident that I'll get a win. Even if my theoretical winning odds have shrunk greatly.
Not this time though. Maybe because I didn't put all of them on the table.
RESULT: -2.50 (money left: 1.32)
SPIN 9
Only two chips left. Already smirking a bit to myself, I cover the numbers 1, 4, 17 and 20. It lands on 17.
RESULT: +8 (money left: 9.32)
SPIN 10
I try to put the full nine euros' worth of chips on the table, but to my dismay I'm €0.18 short of being allowed to cover 7+neighbours.
So I already know that's exactly where the ball will drop. It lands right on the 7.
RESULT: -7 (money left: 2.32)
SPIN 11
Down to nothing yet again. Give it my best shot, but the ball lands one number next to a winner (16 instead of 24).
Game over.
RESULT: -2 (money left: 0.32)
Purely result-wise, this is what happens every session. Not nearly as many crazy jumps this time, but still pretty typical.
If I had started off with a much bigger balance, say € 400, the exact same thing would have happened... I'd have lost every round except for when I'm playing with my last few chips.
That's pretty much set in stone.
For what it's worth, the other player there lost € 1200 without winning a single round. Called them cheats and that he'd never come back. Not sure about the latter statement, but I can empathise with the former.
