I once tried to make money at a casino, in particular, I tried to hack roulette. My team and I studied this process for a long time and came to the conclusion that it is almost impossible to win at roulette. It's more of a game of luck than statistics or probability.
I based my strategy on the classic Martingale. My strategy was as follows: I divided the roulette field with two lines - horizontal and vertical, thus dividing the numbers into two halves. The first time I divided horizontally, I wrote down all the numbers on either side of the line, then did the same thing vertically. I then placed bets on the half of the table that did not fall out more than three times in a row. Based on the logic that the probability of the same half falling out more than four times in a row decreases, I made the bets, everything was fine and the strategy worked until one half fell out 10 times in a row, which cancelled my balance.
Eventually I came to the realisation that none of this was working. Mathematical progression showed that there is no limit to the probability of the same half appearing - theoretically it can appear indefinitely. Probabilities tell us that even if a certain half doesn't appear more than once, there is still a chance it will appear again, and no strategy can guarantee success. Ultimately the game comes down to luck.
I would like to emphasise that I took exactly the legal office with all the awards from the list of trusted Aussie casinos.
And still I couldn't win.
This experience has shown me that roulette cannot be predicted or beaten, and that relying on betting systems is not worth it in the long run.
