Sins of the Gambler (Posted on 2004-08-23) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Can you think of a method of playing standard casino roulette that gives the player a better than 90% chance of winning each time he plays a game?

A game is considered to be at least 10 bets on consecutive spins of the roulette wheel. A game is considered won if the gambler stops with more money than he started. The player starts with $1100 and table limits are min: $1 max: $1000).

Just bet on red, starting with $1, and doubling your bet if you lose. The odds of losing 10 times in a row are (19/37) to the 10th, or 1.3%.
