>From an interview with Vassily Ivanchuk, one of the most brilliant but 
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.
