Roulette question!

Hi everyone!

 

When getting rated by the pit boss at the roulette tables, does the pit boss look at what you bet or just the size of your bets ie does it make a difference if you bet $50 on red/black vs $25 each on Red AND Black?

Like they say Size Matters.

I think it’s average total bet and buy in.  But not all bets earn you points (pass line in craps does but place bets not so much). You have to play for hours for it to even get you any points.  Not sure it would be much fun making that bet for hours trying to earn points hoping green doesn’t show up lol.  I used to only play table games and never got the great offers wife did playing video poker/slots.  Now I mostly just play slots, earn way better offers and usually net out way better than before.

from my experience and not 100% sure how Carnival does it. your rated on your average bet and time played so $50 is $50, now with that said some casinos will not allow that action, but 90% will... because each section IE red and then Black have its separate set of odds if green hits you lose both...I am a Casino Pit Manager and would not encourage anyone to ever bet that way... its a ass kicking in the makin... were I work we do allow players to bet both sides on roulette and craps but not Baccarat  if the casino did not have a house edge they would not allow it...if you win it is because of luck... pure and simple. 

If your doing it to get a higher rating with less risk your playing with a loaded gun...

Exactly. You're guaranteed to lose in the long run, and I doubt they'd rate you for anything because the house only wins in the 1 in 19 spins (statistically speaking) when green comes up.

This betting approach ie betting both sides is a guaranteed loss 2/38 rolls in the long run but the benefit is lower bankroll volatility/variance than betting red/black/odd/even only.

Not sure about your last comment cos the house edge is actually the same whether you bet red/black all the time or if you bet Red AND Black. But yes, it is a guaranteed loss strategy……
