Betting on black ...

A member of the Crooks family was recently talking about roulette, specifically how he thought that there must be a strategy that can put the odds of winning in your favor. Perhaps there is, but he wasn’t able to vocalize it and we weren’t buying it. Flipping a coin came to mind.

Then we came across a book where the author thought he figured out such a strategy that would guarantee he made money – bet on black. Bet on black ... every time. And if you lose just bet more money than you’ve lost on your next bet ... on black. He tried putting this theory to work. Nine minutes, five bets, and $1200 worth of cash and cash advances later he had lost more than double what he makes in a week and has yet to prove his strategy effective.
