Hello everybody! I have a question regarding the house edge: how is it obtained by the...well..house ? I mean for example let's say you are playing European Roulette in a casino where the min bet is 1$ and the maximum is ..I don't know...300$ and you decide to use the Martingale system. Everybody says that the system is good but in the long run you'll lose because of the house edge. Now what is this "long run" how is it calculated? I mean if you play and play and play without stopping, eventually you won't be able to double your last bet (either you'll run out of money, or you'll be restricted by the max bet), and the longer you'll play the bigger the chance for this to happen. But if you were to play it safe...if you were to make each day let's say 30$ (so 30 successful runs) and then stop (eventually withdraw these 30 bucks) and start again tomorrow? I guess what I'm trying to ask you is: the chances to loose increase the longer you play a game without stopping or according to the total time you've played it today and tomorrow and the day after....thanks
