Theories like this always sound good on paper, but in reality each roll/game is 50/50 red/black (ok, not exactly 50/50 with the 2 green squares) ... so the odds of it going red or black 9 or 10 times in a row isn't nearly as hard as the math would suggest.

Just walk around a few roulette tables one night and you'll see it going one way 6,7,8 times in a row pretty frequently.

The ONLY way to do this is to have a HUGE bankroll when you start and begin with a $5 bet .. that way if it goes 10 in a row against you, you have at least $5000+ ready. The logic of the casino is, no one with $5-10K available is going to waste time on $5 bets...
