Trying
to
make
more
money
playing
it

So,
what
is
the
deal
here?
Say
you
want
to
divide
your
bet
into
two
sweperate
bets
of
the
exact
same
size…or
continue
re-betting
until
you
have
doubled
your
money
or
lost
it?
Weel
, in
this
case
the
book
says
some
more
interesting
things.
The
book
then
explains
that
your
chances
are
9
squared
- 10
squared,
or
81
to
100.
That's
a
decrease
from
9 to
10 –
it
is a
44.75%
chance
of
doubling
your
money
at
this
point
then.
Online
gambling
enthusiasts
may
not
appreciate
this
fact.
Well
then
say
you
want
to
bet
1/10
of
your
bankroll
each
time
you
wager?
This
seriously
compromises
your
opportunity
to
win.
Here
you
are
looking
at
about
35%
to
win.
What
does
all
this
mean?
It
means
that
for
any
given
share
of
your
bank
roll,
you
raise
the
9
to10
to
the
equivalent
power.
So,
to
figure
out
the
details
of
your
chances
at
winning
or
getting
more
winnings
from
the
wager,
you
need
to
divide
your
bank
roll
into
twenty
even
parts
(if
you
have
twenty
bucks,
each
wager
would
be a
buck),
and
you
raise
the
9
and
the
10
to
powers
of
twenty;
divide
that
into
100
different
parts,
and
raise
the
nine
and
ten
to
powers
of
100.
With
this
in
mind,
it
is
also
explained
that
the
smaller
the
share
of
your
bank
roll
you
bet
each
time,
the
less
opportunity
you
actually
have
to
double
your
cash.
What’s
more…it
is
the
exact
opposite
for
online
casino
games
where
the
online
gambling
player
has
an
edge.
So,
someone
who
counts
cards
when
playing
blackjack
(not
so
much
possible
online
especially)
increases
their
opportunity
of
doubling
their
bank
roll
by
dividing
it
into
smaller
equal
bets…and
due
to
the
mathematical
edge,
they
would
even
more
chances
to
work
against
the
house.
All
being
said,
the
book
points
out
an
interesting
look
at
making
more
money
when
playing
roulette,
but
we
still
have
to
say
that
the
typical
player
will
want
to
remain
within
their
bank
roll
at
all
times
instead
of
wagering
too
much
of
their
bank
roll
at
one
time.
If
you
have
the
cash
to
blow
(honestly),
try
it,
but
if
you
are
looking
to
lengthen
your
visit
at
any
online
gambling
site,
bet
less
each
time
to
enjoy
the
experience
more
at a
slower
pace
and
this
will
possibly
save
your
money
in
the
long
run.
Worth
mentioning
is
that
the
book
we
just
finished
reading
does
point
out
interesting
concepts
about
casino
games
in
general
and
we
found
it
to
be a
refreshing
change
from
all
the
other
blueprinted
casino
game
book
on
the
shelves
of
our
local
book
store.
Keep
this
situation
on
your
mind
the
next
time
you
play
at
online
casinos
or
at
casinos
anywhere
for
that
matter.
Tailor
it
to
fit
your
specific
bank
roll
and
budget
needs.
Be
sure
to
consider
what
type
of
gamer
you
are
too
–
are
you
willing
to
bet
it
all
at
once
or
drag
it
out
for
a
longer
game
play
session?
After
all,
a
big
part
of
online
gambling
is
the
experience
–
you
just
have
to
know
what
experience
you
want.
