Well, you're wrong. Several weeks ago I gave a Seminar in a North Jersey Hotel and there were a load of Roulette players in the audience. When I started to explain some basic things about the game, a couple of these "experts" showed their annoyance at my presentation. They claimed it was too basic.
I wrote five questions on the board and asked these geniuses to give me the answers:
1. What color are 25?
2. What is the payoff on the double street?
3. Where is alternate place on board to get a bet on 0 00?
4. What is the house Vig in Roulette?
5. Name any one number next to either the 0 or 00?
I asked 15 of these cats to write the answers on a piece of paper. Then we checked their answers.
a. Seven had two wrong (playing at 40% deficit to the house)
b. Four had three wrong (playing at 60% deficit to the house)
c. Four had four wrong (playing at 80% deficit to the house)
Could you believe this dorks? They couldn't even answer a couple of simple questions about a game they had the audacity to place money on.
Look at c. alone. Four people, who claimed to be good players, failed on 80% of a few simple questions. Needless to say, there were no more snide remarks from the audience that night.
I realize you people reading this advanced Roulette book know the answers to all 5 questions and don't feel you need me to give out the information.
But just in case one of these books end up in Oogongoland, Anartica, I'll give you the answers.
1. Red.
2. 5 to 1.
3. On line that separates 2nd and 3rd dozen.
4. 5.26 on inside bets and 2.63 on outside.
5. 1 or 2 or 27 or 28.
For the few of you who'll say, "So what, I don't know the answers to those stupid questions. It is not that important!" I say to you people again and again, "if you aren’t perfect in the Knowledge of every part of the game you play then you don’t have the right to compete at that game." Being perfect gives you only a 50/50 chance of winning. Being less than perfect at a game where you risk money, gives you automatic entry into that exclusive "Dorks of the Decade" which at last check had a select enrollment of 135,944,623. Join the Club.
