If we can discuss this civilly, this is all good information for people to know. There's some inconsistencies with what you've said. I'll point it out, feel free to correct me where I'm misunderstanding you...
Keep in mind, I use roulette systems. Not because I think they work, but because it makes a meaningless game have a meaning, hence more entertaining while I'm playing.
[..snip..] Your understanding of things goes from shity "systems" like martingale to advanced techniques.
Martingale is not a system, it's a wagering progression. Systems pick numbers, wagering progressions dictate how the pick is wagered. Unless each wager is dead on first loss, every system has a wagering progression attached.
If I say play any extreme outside group (1-18, 19-36, Even, Odd, Red, Black at 1:1 odds) if it has lost 9 times in a row, wager 10 units, and if it loses, start over, then that is a system without a progression. If I say then, if it loses, add x number of units to your previous wager, then that's a system with a progression. A Martingale progression is extremely defined and rigid. Most wagering progressions are modified Martingales.
I personaly don't use any "system". I play dynamicaly and just adapt to the table.
Well, I'll have to disagree with that statement. It's impossible to play an organized roulette session
without a selection process. I want you to think about the most ludicrous way you could place a chip on a selection or region and not use a system. How about we turn our back to the table, and politely toss a chip onto the table, behind our back and without looking. Random enough? Great. Except
that's now a system! Any system ever devised has just took that basic idea and expanded upon it!
Whatever criteria you are using to 'adapt' to the table, and then wager, is a system.
To say you play 'dynamically' states you use a system. There is no way to adapt and change a wager from any selection or region to another without some criteria to dictate it. No matter what that trigger is, it's a system. Again, if the lady next to you coughs twice in a row, and you then play 'Black', that's a system. For most people, and I'm going to say fairly assured, including you, the only trigger available that makes any sense to the human brain (even though it doesn't make ACTUAL sense), is to use spins that have passed. Why? Well, it's impossible to use spins forward! Why, if we knew those...
What other criteria exists? The game only sports numbers that have dropped, and numbers that will drop in the future. We cannot know the latter, so we're left with little else to work here with.
So at this point, we're not asking you to reveal your secrets. Just tell me honestly, do you make wagering selections on the past results? I certainly do. If you absolutely do NOT, again, without revealing ALL of it, please let us know what you do use? That would make for a vastly interesting subject!
Here's what I've come to understand about roulette discussions... using a system (as defined above) has had a stigma attached to it, and it has grown more pronounced since the information age has developed. Back in the 80's, roulette systems were sold out of the backs of magazines or the backs of station wagons on the strip in Vegas, and there were no Forums available to discuss or debate them. You either 'believed' and invested your bankroll, or you wussed out and just played slots all night.
Nowadays, people who use systems have started to try and obfuscate what exactly a system is, and after defining it to their satisfaction, they label their system - wait for it -
not a system! Well, I believe we've taken care of that load of excrement!
Maybe people who say they do not use a system actually have OJ's syndrome and actually believe they aren't using one if they repeat it enough times... but they are. I think that more than likely everyone knows they are using a system, but are just a bit shy of the huge overwhelming tidal wave of brow beating they are going to endure. Instead, they use all kinds of polite and arbitrary ways to describe their system and then announce "but it's not a system!"
I don't bite. Care to discuss this?
