Mr P, you are right!
All the info is right there in front of you, when you are at the table.
TO learn the subtleties of Roulette costs MONEY, and TIME, because you have to play on a real table, in real time, after buying in with real money.
In this regard, the APPRENTICESHIP involved with learning even the basics, can take as long as your disposable bank funds allow.
I have been an NP, a KP1, an LS, and consider myself a reasonably efficient KP2!
But I still remain a Lifelong Student.
You are (apparently) claiming to be such an AP, that you are justified in putting a cash value on your information.
Without divulging any of your (valuable?) secrets, you should know enough about the wheel (EU) to demonstrate such knowledge.
So, there are at least two (2) numerical patterns on the wheel, that are (essentially) perfectly balanced, regarding equal distribution.
They do not include traditional (french) wagers.
And, I have always had a POSITIVE attitude about Roulette, but have never claimed to be in the same "mythological beast" category that you claim, the ball is in your court.
MickyP, I never tried to become an "AP"
---However, I am becoming more knowledgeable.
Yes, learning costs, but losing at the table is a learning experience, that cannot be overcome by paying over the counter to a self professed guru of the game.
My comments are an attempt to re-invigorate balanced discussion.
The image of the forum becomes "tarnished" when an attack on Mr Dobbelsteens integrity becomes personal.
PS. We could start a whole new thread on correcting phrases, syntax, grammar, composition, spelling and general literacy, but I thought, "why not be amusing, just for once, and focus on ROULETTE!"
