Chris Boyd seemed to be the craziest gambler in history. In 1994 he decided to fulfill his dream in the casino of Las Vegas on the Roulette wheel. Chris managed to save up 0,000 and he decided to put it on one spin of the wheel. It took him much time to find in Las Vegas a casino, in which he could place such a bet. Having got refusals in most of the casinos Chris went to Binion’s Horseshoe Club, which was the last casino he visited. The maximum table bet on red/black bet in Horseshoe Club was 0,000, but they met him halfway and let him make this bet. The casino also agreed to block out the double-zero on the wheel as this didn’t exist in the European version of the game that Chris was used to playing. Chris chose to place his bet on red. The casino and the dealer agreed to a few practice spins to ensure that full fairness for everyone concerned, and then the big spin came. The ball landed in number 7, red. Chris won 0,000 instantly, and asked for the money to be put into the casinos cage, and vowed never to gamble again.

The world 'roulette' means 'a small wheel' in French. Blaise Pascal invented the original version of the game in the 17th century. The single zero Roulette was introduced in 1842 by Frenchmen Francois and Louis Blank. In the 19th century casino gambling was forbidden in France, that's why the game wasn't so well-known in France, but it was very popular in Hamburg and Germany. Later Francois and his son Camille were responsible for bringing the game of Roulette back to southern France for the Prince of Monaco, Charles III. The game of Roulette was brought to the USA at the beginning of the 19th century. Some additional features were deleted and the game got a double zero back. The game became popular in the old west of America. Most gamblers come to the casino without setting their bank roll limit, which is the most common mistake. When you go in the casino take only that sum of money you can afford to spend and leave the rest of your money and all credit or deposit cards at home. When all your entire bank roll is over leave the casino and don’y bother getting emotionally involved with the games you’re playing. Sometimes players choose games they don’t know well enough and as a result they lose instead of winning. It is not a secret that in some casinos you can get different alcohol drinks for free. Drinking impairs your judgement and gets you emotionally involved within the game thus losing feels worse, and most importantly you won't be able to play using scientifically proven strategies that shrink the odds of the casino winning. The third mistake is drinking while playing casino games. Try not to drink if you play or plan to play at the casino. Never stick to one casino. Try to find casinos with the best bonuses, promotions for players. The last mistake is spread among new players. They don’t know well how to play and they believe that they can win if they stick to the strategy of other players. This is the most stupid mistake. Play your own way and never stick to strategies of other gamblers.
