Lost £700+ tonight 
8 bad hands in row... 3 times!
Similar happened to me on roulette table couple weeks back too. 11 fucking reds in a row
I'm not even that much of a gambler. I can imagine how it can fuck up some people's lives.

£700+ for shits and giggles? Whenever I'm at the Casino I'm mostly at the two games you've mentioned. Blackjack when pished is a hazard. I just keep thinking of Peter Griffin and going for broke on 19

As if I play £700 often.
I fell into the trap. I lost some money, then wanted to win it back. Lost that too. Then, wanted to win that back as well

Roulette is really the only proper gambling game where the odds are not in the houses favourite, its pure chance.

Except thar roulette does still have a house edge, just smaller than most other games.
You'll still lose long term.

roullete is in the house favour but only slightly as theres 37 numbers with the odds of 35/1
roullete will make or take your money quickly
blackjacks a game where people can play for hours but if the tables not playing well you can loose money quick
either way you have to bet big to win big and be prepared to loose what you are willing to spend

Blackjack is shit.
Also, continuing to bet on black after 11 reds is just stupidity especially at the shit odds of even.

Yes, I was doubling up each time I lose.
I made a fair bit of money from the strategy. It just hurts a little bit when its that amount.
I have my limits and I'm still happy 
My friends's parents play roulette properly. They sit there for ages and calculate shit.
It must work though... They come back with thousands

chinks are loaded and always in the casinos anyway.
My mate won £400 twice in a row on 3 card poker, first night got 3 jacks, next night went in, turned to his missus and said, wouldn't it be funny if I got 3 cards again, next hand BOOM, winner. They took him to one side and had to check the video to make sure he wasn't cheating!
On a similar note, we were playing poker a while back, and I pointed out that in the many poker nights we'd had we'd never had a Straight Flush, very next hand, a Straight Flush  Odds on a Straight Flush are 70k/1

Do you know what the odds are on hitting another red?
It'd be stupid not to.
I walked away from the table not wanting to see what came out next.
My brother accidentally showed me. It was black.

Do you know? As i genuinely don't know.
Law of averages would say, yeah it ought to be black but at the end of the day each spin is still 50/50 to be black or red, no?

The odds of hitting another red are surely exactly the same every go.

it is not 50/50 is it because there is a green zero is there not? either way it makes no difference how many reds come out in a row its the same chance as before

There is NO strategy for roulette.
You win a little, you lose, you win, you lose.
There is NO WAY of telling what will come out next.
