well, since you guys are no help. here's what i came up with. it's probably already around in some book or something, but if it isnt, i'm copywriting/ patenting it. lol.
been figuring out ways to beat the dang thing. got a system figured out for now that can win about $100 assuming the following is true:
1. the minimum bet is $5 (which i'm not sure of, could be 10 or even 25 for all i know)
2. that out of the 38 numbers on the wheel (they use 2 zeroes here) that it will hit the number i keep playing on atleast once in 78 rolls (twice the average that it should be)
3. that i can stand loosing upto $1000 without chickening out and leaving.
4. that i have enough time (not on my own time table there)
5. that they will allow me to have a pad of paper to keep track of my progress, cause the system can be hard to keep in my head.
the basics are:
put $5 on a "lucky" number.
keep putting the $5 on that same number till you've lost $80 (thats the 180 you'll get when it wins less the 100 you wanna walk away with)
then start putting $6 on that same number,
when you've lost 116 total (216 you'll get for winning a $6 bet, less the 100 you're gonna win) up the bet to $7.
and so on.
after 78 rolls if you still aint won you'll be upto betting $31 on your number and will be out 1008 dollars. if the 78th roll hits you'll get 1116 dollars and be up 108, but the big problem is that if it keeps not hitting your number then after a while you'll be betting huge sums on each roll (in order for a win to pay you back everything you put in) and the "invested" amount might outgrow the amount of cash you have available to invest, at that point you'll have to quit while still being in the hole a bunch of cash (having not won a single time).
all you need to do is once you win, start over. the only reason i say that it'll win $100 is that that's how much you'll get each time around, and the amount you wanna win determines how far in the hole you can go.
