Talk:Roulette/Mech Sys

I like to use the idea of blocking certain areas of the wheel with combo bets. The American wheel and table are designed to allow you to block both sides of the wheel with the minimum of bets. Using split bets, cover 5-6, 17-18, 20-21, 19-22, 31-32. you get 2 blocks on the wheel of 5 numbers each at 180 degrees, so no matter which side is 'hot' your bound to be in it. You need 2 hits per 7 spins on average to break even, so wait for that 4 out of 5 or 6 out of 8 stretch and get out. $5 gets you $18 (17+1). pay pct(5 bet/18 pay=26.3%) hit pct(10 played/38 numbers=27.7%). It's about the best you can get on an American Roulette wheel.
