You haven't factored in the good ol' 0 in your roulette scenario.

You could bet x, then x2, then x4 and so on and so forth - but the house wins in the long run due to the little green zero.

On a side note - Crown Casino here in Melbourne, Australia has just changed the house rules for Black Jack. They no longer stand on a soft 17 in the main gaming area (VIP/High rollers stays as is).

Now I'm not a BJ player - but many are up in arms (especially card counters and maths freaks). I know it favors the house, but am not sure how?? Can anyone enlighten me on what this will do??
