re: What's the Most You've Seen Won/Lost on a Roulette Spin?

I saw a dude bet 6,000 on black. He won

Beau Rivage 2008

I was at a table in Vegas and some black kid, probably not even 21 from the looks of it, came up to the table with his buddies and put $3 down on 23 and the dealer said he needed $5 to play inside. I told him here ill bet it for you since I had plenty in and it hits so he wins $105 which I hand to him. He then puts all $105 on 23 and BAM it hits again and he gets paid $3675. Takes the money and walks away without even throwing me anything. Little shite!

I was playing roulette at the Belle of Baton Rouge, trying a new system I was learning, and I noticed a guy walk up to another roulette table across from me. Dude puts down a stack of chips on one number, say 26. Which would pay 35 to 1.




He then proceeds to put down stacks of chips all around 26. First the split bets: that's a bet on the white line between each of the numbers. So in this case, he placed a bet for 26 and 25, 26 and 29, 26 and 27, 26 and 23. Each of these pay 17 to 1.

Next he does the corner bets. Which in this case are bets placed at the corness of 26. So, at 26 and 28, 26 and 30, 26 and 24, 26 and 22. Each of these pay 8 to 1.

So each stack was probably $20. If the chips were blue, imagine a blue tree stump on the roulette table, with the number 26 in the middle of it.

Can you guess what number hit? Yes, 26 black. I know because I could see that Chess piece thingy that they put on the winning number right in the center of all his chips.

So let's do the math:
$20 at 35 to 1: $700
$20 at 17 to 1 times 4: $1,360
$20 at 8 to 1 times 4: $640
Total: $2,700

OK, $2,700 ain't a ton of money.

But here's the thing, the dude placed the same bet again, on the next spin, and it 26 hit again!

Now this is where my memory ain't 100% and where things will either become unbelievable or amazing to you. (I was losing my arse at my table, so I wasn't totally paying attention.)

I think the dude did it a THIRD time!...on three spins!

I know that many would call BS on me. One time, OK. Twice on the next spin, maybe. But three times in three spins? That's BS, right?

I can't specifically recall the third win, but I do recall the Pit Boss', or whatever you call him, reaction to it. It was one of suspicion and disbelief. I thought they were about to call the cops or something. It made me think they were asking the "eye in the sky people" to review the video.

So I'm saying I believe it was three times because hitting a number twice ain't usual, and the Pit Boss wouldn't flinch at it. But three times in three spins, with a bet like that is a bit suspicious.

So the Total winnings was $8,100 if he walked away, but I can't recall if he did. Like I said I lost my arse that night, and my main focus was on me.
