I did that doubling losses on the roulette wheel one time except it was a little over $1100.00 in winnings that I lost. The whole thing began and ended in about two hours. It was a fun way to blow $25.00. I couldn't cash out anyway because I had accepted a sign up bonus and didn't know at the time that roulette and black jack bets didn't count toward betting requirements.

The last time I was at a casino (Foxwoods) I won over $600 on Roulette and Blackjack within 30 minutes. In 2 hours I cashed in at $1100. I was on fucking FIRE.
Unfortunately my stay at the casino lasted 4 days. By the last day I was in the hole $400 with multiple ATM surcharges and I found myself cranking those quarter slot machines like a fucking monkey. 
Amphetamines and gambling DO NOT MIX.

There are certain people out there that don't have the attention span to learn poker, hence the amphetamines.

I must try these "slot machines".

Poker aside. For roulette that is the point. That and black jack have the closest to 50/50 odds. I don't gamble to make money. I do it for the thrill. Doubling your bet with each loss can quickly either bust you or get you into some big bets with won money. It makes for a thrill when you've lost the last 8 games in a row and doubled your bet with each loss starting with $1.00 initial bet. The odds are definitely in your favor since you have just lost 8 games that had a 50/50 chance each. The bet is up to $128.00. The odss are still really no better than 50/50 because the last 8 games really don't have anything to do with it but you just know it has to be your turn to win.
What can I say. I don't gamble often and like to get a thrill from it when I do.
Poker is cool and is more of a game to be PLAYED. That's more for hanging with friends to me though.

be smart about your money - don't play slots, and don't play table games [other than blackjack - that has the best odds in most casinos] - play poker or craps, use your head
