Odds 1 in 114 billion.
Black 20 wouldn't have been a bad bet either.

Before I left Vegas in April, I threw 50 bucks on Black Odd at the Cosmopolitan Casino. Needless to say, Red Even came up. FML.

The odds of it happening at any one time are staggeringly high; however, the law of large numbers states that it will eventually happen. Think of every 7 set of spins of every roulette wheel ever; it's bound to happen

It also has a lot to do with the employee spinning the wheel and flicking the ball. If they do it the same speed everytime, it has more of a chance to land in a similar area.
I hit on 3 in a row once. It was 16, and I just left my chips there from the last spins. The last one I tipped the guy a chip and let it ride on 16. He made $35, and was happy as hell.

This exact thing happened to me as well. From a full bankroll to diddly in 10 seconds.

I'm guessing that table is removed from the floor and burned within minutes.

The odds of it having come up 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 are also 1 in 114 billion.

I turned $100 into over $3k last time I played. Took me 6 hours at the table, though. Left only because of exhaustion..

That's ridiculous on roulette. How did you do it? I've seen 100's of people over the years just drop $100 every spin, and get giddy when they win $70. They always leave after one bad spin when the one number they didn't have covered doesn't come up.

One guy in Vegas, from London IIRC, came to the table with $100. In about 25 minutes he left the table with a G. It was nuts. he was playing only numbers, and he would drop four 5-dollar chips on one number and he kept hitting like that. He was the star of the table, and this was at the really janky casino at the end of the strip (Bill's?)

You know there was the guy sitting there that kept saying "There's no way it hits 19 again...F***!".

Was this in Las Vegas back in 2006? Because I saw this exact same scenario play out. The guys girlfriend (or maybe wife or hooker) had to drag him away.
Although I bet this happens all the time....

1st 12, 2nd 12, 3rd 12.
I would play 2 of these at a time. Started off betting $20 to win $10. As my winnings grew, I would bet more. When I quit, I was betting $100 to win $50. I lost that bet 4 times ($400) and quit. I watched several others blow thousands of dollars during my time at the table. It was a good night.
