Just finished publishing first content out...

Hopefully this'll fair a bit better than my press release and my (failed) adwords campaign!!! Perhaps the quick rework of the website I did tonight will help.

Here it is in full...the tables look a bit iffy, but I'm not best sure how to resolve that! Thanks to my genius brother over at http://www.live-roulette-tv.com/, this things a synch! (Well, perhaps not, but he isn't half making life easier...)

------------ Article --------------


Although there is no such thing as the perfect Roulette Strategy or System, having your own methodology for playing can certainly make the game more interesting. Roulette systems have been around for as long as the game itself, and people are inventing new ones all the time. The most important thing to remember is that roulette is a game of chance. Just because the roulette wheel result has been red for the last ten times, doesn’t mean that the next spin will be black. The chance of it being red is still around 47%! There is no such thing as the perfect system.

The Martingale system is one of the most common systems in use; when on a good run, it can be very effective - but when it all goes wrong it can be very costly. The way it works is this:

1. Pick a colour (red/black).
2. Place a bet on that colour ($1)
3. Spin the roulette wheel - if it wins, you get $2 back (your $1 stake, and $1 profit).
4. If you lost, double your last stake ($2)
5. Spin the wheel - if it wins, you get $4 back - that's a profit of $1
6. If you lost, double your last stake ($4)
7. Spin the wheel....

The idea of the Martingale is that it's a slow burn - you'll keep wining although only your original stake. There are no quick wins on Roulette. It also helps promote the thought that it's a 50/50 bet on red/black - although that's not true! The chances of it being red/black are actually around 47%, with the remainder being green. It's also worth noting that you could go an infinate amount of spins without landing on your chosen color! Although a properly balanced roulette table should statistically eventually land on every number/colour combination, that's over an infinate amount of spins!

You'll also need a large bankroll - as the following table shows, using the Martingale system can cause debts to mount really quickly:

Spin....Stake....Bankroll....Win.....Profit
..1............1..........1.............2..........1
..2............2..........3.............4..........1
..3............4..........7.............8..........1
..4............8.........15...........16.........1
..5...........16........31............32.........1
..6...........32........63............64.........1
..7...........64.......127..........128........1
..8.........128.......255..........256.........1
..9.........256.......511..........512........1
.10.........512.....1023........1024........1
.11.......1024.....2047........2048........1
.12.......2048.....4095........4096........1

An alternative system, based on the same principle, is the one-in-three method. Using this method, your bankroll doesn't need to be as large. To use this system, pick one of the 2-1 bets (i.e. Column 1, 2, or 3, or first 12, second 12, or third 12) and stick with it. Again, you place a single bet - if you win, fine, if not, then using the following table, you'd increase your bet the appropriate amount:

Spin....Stake....Bankroll....Win.....Profit
..1............1..........1.............3..........2
..2............1..........2.............3..........1
..3............2..........4.............6..........2
..4............3..........7.............9..........2
..5............4.........11...........12..........1
..6............6.........17...........18..........1
..7............9.........26...........27..........1
..8...........14........40...........42..........2
..9...........21........61...........63..........2
.10..........31........92...........93..........1
.11..........47.......139.........141..........2
.12..........70.......209.........210..........1

As you can see, the amount you need to bet does not increase as rapidly as with the martingale.

As with all betting though, whatever system you use you can always loose. Neither of these two methods are guaranteed wins, but at least you'll be able to see where your money has gone if it all goes wrong!

For more information, check out my site at http://www.roulette-tv-live.com/ for more information including the history of roulette, types of bets, and several interesting roulette facts.

Finally finished site, adwords, and more domains...

...now to publish content!

Well, I've finally finished the Roulette-TV-Live website; you can get to it through http://www.roulette-tv-live.com.

The contents all finished - but I'm a bit rubbish at this publishing malarkey - so while I'm still writing copy, and waiting for stuff to be approved on various sites, I decided to try Google AdWords - let's see how that works out! It's fairly easy to setup, and hopefully, combined with the analytics, I should be able to start seeng hits Real Soon Now.

Bought some more websites to create. http://www.roulettetvlive.com and http://www.roulettetvlive.co.uk will all point to a variation of the roulette-tv-live website; http://www.roulettetvonline.com and http://www.roulettetvonline.co.uk will both be pointing to a different site with a different affiliate. Let's see how they compete!

Totally unrelated, but tonight I shall mostly be eating Chinese food.

Press Release

Well, I attempted a press release today...whether it'll get published or not I have no idea! I've reproduced it below...

The recent explosion of online gambling has led to a new market in interactive games – and a new level of interactivity! Did you know it’s now possible to play roulette on the television? At Roulette TV - LIVE! you’ll find information about the origins and history of Roulette, betting rules, odds, and more importantly how and where to play.

The How To Play Roulette area gives information on the different types of roulette wheels and tables you can expect to find, as well as information on the table odds, and how to place bets. If you want to know how to win at roulette, you’re recommended to read these pages.
Many people have strategies and techniques for playing roulette – so you'll need some Hints And Tips!. Some of these can be found in the Roulette Strategy and Roulette Techniques sections. The Martingale – one of the most popular roulette techniques is explained here, as are techniques for maximising your odds and payout.

Once you’ve read through the site, you’ll be wanting to play casino roulette. The Where To Play section contains a hand-picked selection of online casinos and online roulette tables. Many of these will even allow you to play roulette for free before you’ve signed up, so you can practice the many techniques and strategies you’ve devised.

Poker is a more communal game of skill, and Bingo has gained popularity in recent years – and not just with the blue-rinse brigade!

In all, at Roulette TV - LIVE! you should find all the resources you need for the complete roulette experience.

Finally Live!

Well, the website at http://www.roulette-tv-live.com/ finally went live. It's still incomplete, but at least the banners are now active and available. Shortly, I'll be updating DavesPlaces with another set of affiliates - so come on Roulette players, get online and find my site!

All I need to do now is try and work on some of my keywords so I can get links into my sites. So now I'm ready to start publishing...

Online!

Okay..so this is the situation. I'm in need of cash; have no money, and am starting everything from scratch. So what do I do? I call my webmeister brother, Andrew, and say "I need help!".

I'm not proud. I'll rely on my little brother who made more money than me in the last six months than I did in the last two years! He's a bloody genius!

Webmaster of sites such as http://www.live-casino-tv.com/ and http://www.live-roulette-tv.com/, he's doing damn well for himself. Respect!

Anyway, my feeble and futule experiment is available (in beta form) at http://www.roulette-tv-live.com/.

Right. I've had two bottles of wine and am going to bed.
