also erratic chess players of the last two decades:

One of my favourite pastimes is playing at the casino. I really like
roulette. I must admit it doesn't go so badly for me. Sometimes, before
placing a bet, I listen to my intuition, but more often I try to figure it
out: I observe which numbers have occurred and work out my own probability
theory. True, no one system guarantees success. What is it that brings
success - my calculations or Lady Luck? That's hard to say, but I win
more often than I lose.
