I learned a couple of decades ago during the dawn of internet game based gambling to never try this against a machine, it will always fuck you.

It can however work well on live roulette on low odds bets, so long as you set acceptable limits and never go deeper than what you consider an acceptable loss. It takes patience at times and has its risk, I've watched live tables go black 7 times in a row.

That’s how I lost. I had 5 doubles: 5, 10, 20, 40, 80. And I waited for 3 blacks, and started betting on red. It went red 8 times.

On the machines, they have the results posted from the whole prior 24 hour period. The highest they had that day was 5.

And I saw some lady say that when she was a roulette dealer, she saw 23 reds in a row, that was her max.

That's insane, 23 in a row. After losing to an online roulette game that went black 6 times, I started to tell myself that I'd be better off to switch bet after 3 if I don't break even. There's a few ways you can try and recover, but the risk goes up, if you have a demon machine or app intent on ensuring you lose then you'll lose regardless.
