Probably one the first questions anyone that ends up here right after discovering that the FF systems actually provides advantage to the players is “Why isn’t everyone rich?”. I’m aware that even systems with high level of predictions will sometimes fail when the ball just won’t go to the predicted pocket. One thing that keeps poping in my head when I think of Roulette is that there aren’t (officially) professional players as opposed to other casino games like baccarat or blackjack. Blackjack is well known to allow players to have advantage over the casino by counting cards and do optimal betting. It’s the “optimal betting” part that I would like to discuss here with you.
You see, for blackjack, one should make the betting variable according to the count and in doing so it is assured that, in the long run, the player will achieve profit. In roulette it doesn’t work that way.
How do you place your bets? Do you only play at tables that you can predict a 3, 4, 5, 6, X pockets arc? On average how much does the house pay for a hit? How much can you bet around the prediction pocket to still manage a profit if you get a hit?

Not sure what you mean by “officially” but take it from one semi-pro player there are many full time professional roulette players.
One if the things we have learned from the BJ days is that keeping a low profile is in itself an advantage and I am about as high profile as you will find.
I know people who made significant amounts on roulette, much more then black jack players, and officially they are still not professional players.
Described more as scammers even they never did anything bad.
This was a surprise for me, thanks for the reality check. I guess these are mainly VB players. I’m assuming so because VB isn’t illegal, just like counting cards
