I hate the American Roulette with Double 0, seriously makes no sense.
as you have noted, I dont even bother simulating the double 0 (daylight robbery).
my favourite strategy is to find a machine/ table with a wide gap on the min and max bet and start doing multiples of 3 assuming I can afford to run the system 8-9 times.
Sounds dangerous but if your like me and like to start out on pennies and dont mind busting out on your $10/$50 pot quickly some nights it makes for a fun ride.
Also, I noted several pokies that ran roulette games had an attract mode that was remarkably easy to pick (basically wait for all the grannies to start having fun), Id jump on and start my system from 1-5c and easily double my money. I could tell they were not used to accommodating this particular method on the pokie machine by emptying the machine out 3 times in 1 night.
All that being said, Im happiest playing video poker/ texas holdem/ roulette (occasionally if I feel like matingaling).
Horse betting is great fun, but ONLY if you can actually be there @ the race track, watch the horses do their warm ups and then grab a beer and lurk @ the finish line
track meets ftw.
Added longest run of black n red records down the bottom, handy for people who dont believe you can get 7-8 colours in a row.
I'll soon be adding seed support, but need to get hostgator to install:
