When I first became interested in roulette all I knew was "the payouts" and the 35/1 for a single number looked very good to me. The first time I heard the words "house edge" I asked, what is the house edge? And was told that zero was the house edge. After giving it some thought I reasoned that if I betted zero then I was taking the house edge away from the casino.
Alright, alright, so I was stupid yeah. My diminishing bankroll told me that.!
I started asking myself questions. I wanted to understand. Everything I read told me that the numbers were randomly distributed around the wheel so I had a look at the wheel and decided that number distribution was not TOTALLY random.
I then asked myself why the numbers on the layout read 1 2 3 verticaly as opposed to 1 2 3 horizontaly. I answered the question to my own satisfaction.
Reading through the posts on this forum I read that "The table is a scattered representation of the wheel, and it is scattered and "randomised" for good reason." In the post HOW YOU CAN AND CAN'T BEAT ROULETTE.
I've only been a member of this forum for a few days and the one thing I know to be true is that Steve knows what he is talking about. He makes sense.
However, I think the table is NOT a scattered representation of the wheel and that the wheel IS a scattered represenation of the table. I hasten to add that I feel like an audatious schoolboy who has just questioned something that teacher said.
To me the table is perfectly organised and the wheel is a scattered representation of the table. If I am prooved to be wrong, so be it. I will accept that. However, please don't ask me to say why I believe what I have written as I will not answer that question on an open forum.
