Only way to beat the house

The only sure fire way I have come up with that wins in gambling against the house is when there is a 1 to 2 odds on anything, like red and black in roulette.

Start with a starting bet lets say 'x'.
You bet that amount and if you lose it you bet '2x' then '4x' and so on...
when you win you come back to 'x' and have won a total of 'x'.

If you won at the 4th try, you have put in 'x+2x+4x+8x=15x' and have won 16x which would give a net profit of one bet.

Cant logically find any other way of winning inless playing against players like in poker

Wow... either my brain is not working....or I do not make heads and tails of what you just said or is it X and Y? hahaha. I will try to study what you said later.

I didn't understand either. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Actually there is one way to beat the house. The answer, I refer you to a line from the movie Wargames: "The only winning move is not to play!"
