A lot of people ask me what kind of losing streaks are possible in roulette, and the simple answer is really up to fate and the ‘gods’ if you like. While not common in roulette, immense losing streaks have been recorded and I’ve even seen some personally, and that’s what I’d like to talk about today.

To start, whenever we’re speaking in roulette terms, we always think of odds. The odds of a certain number coming up or the odds of a certain number not coming up a certain amount of times in a row. But the thing is that odds are just that; odds. They’re not a guarantee of anything and are just a guide to what will most likely happen, and most likely does not mean definitely.

One thing many people don’t utilise often enough when playing roulette that can increase their odds considerably when taking the pesky ‘0′ and ‘00′ slots into account is the surrender rule. This rule is not found on every roulette table, though if you look hard enough you’ll find that you can see it around.

The surrender rule works in your favour by returning some or all of your money back to you if the ball happens to land on either the ‘0′ or ‘00′ slots. This means that the effect of the casino’s house edge is either reduced or even taken away altogether, however this rule only applies if you are betting on ‘even odds’ places on the board, meaning you are betting on either red or black, high or low, or odd or even.

So, in online poker room the psychological moment of the game is rather weak, for somebody it is good and for someone it is not so good. In other respects online poker presents only advantages and it will take a long time to name all of them. Here are the main ones.



Two world leaders Dalai Lama and George W. Bush were born on July 6. The Dalai Lama’s birth chart shows many signs of a spiritual life.

Saturn, the planet symbolizing spiritual authority, is placed in the Ninth House of religion, and is given mystical tendencies by being in philosophical sign Aquarius. Saturn’s position in 9thhouse in trine to Sun translates into the easy assumption of religious authority. The Sun is also trine to Jupiter, the planet associated with religion and Jupiter is trine to Saturn. Together, these three planets create a wonderful trine. It’s in fact a cosmic blessing denoting wisdom, internal peace and spiritual excellence. Jupiter and Saturn are also symbols of social and political issues. Their relationship with the natal Sun strongly associates Dalai Lama’s personal destiny with the cause of his nation Tibet.

Greyhound racing is an increasingly popular sport in Victoria and other areas of Australia, and there are many opportunities for people to become actively involved as well as just turning up to watch the races. Just think about how much more exciting, and hopefully profitable, greyhound racing would be if you owned one of the dogs that was participating in the race you were watching!

Greyhound racing is a community as well as a spectator sport, and it is much more rewarding to be a part of the community than just an interested outsider. Even if you do not think you can afford to own a first-rate racing greyhound, there are other options that you can explore.
