someone once described a roulette strategy that sounded pretty good. First off, this person studied the black/red occurances and noticed that more than half of the time that there were two black, or two red, there would be another one of the same color after that. I don't know if this was just coincedance (sp?) but he said that's what he saw.

Now, he had a system. He would bet kinda small, but keep a standard bet...lets say $1. He would bet after two of one color hit (to supposedly get better than 50/50 odds). If he won, he would keep the winnings and bet a dollar at the next occurance. If he lost, he would bet a dollar at the next occurance to try to make up for the loss. If he lost again, he would raise his bet to try to break even. Once he was back to even, he would go back to the $1 bet. I may be missing something, but to me (even without the whole 2 or 3 of a color in a row thing) this sounds pretty good as it's unlikely to lose too many times in a row when the odds are close to 50/50 anyway. It would take forever and it would take backup cash, but I think it would work. What do you guys think?
