A good night for the 32Red faithful

Don’t ask me why, but 32Red is one of the most popular bets in roulette (hence the name choice of well known online casino 32Red).

There’s not a lot of logic behind it.  The 32 red pocket is the identical size and shape to all the others on the roulette wheel, and it’s payout is the same as all other straight-up bets.

Superstition is rarely rooted in logic but it certainly drives many gambling decisions and bets on 32red in roulette is chief among them…so much so that casinos will often take a bit of a hit on a night when this number comes up a lot.

Below is a session that would have had the 32Red faithful jumping for joy.

Unfortunately for me on this particular occasion, I’m not one of the 32Red faithful. I was having a crack at hitting a straight up zero and watched painfully as that little white ball danced all around my pocket before coming to rest right next door…3 times in 9 spins!

In fact to be honest it’s been a pretty ordinary week at the tables for poor old LD. No matter which casino, regardless of the game and irrespective of the dealer I could not take a trick.  I began the above session with a balance of just over $850 and pulled the pin at $401…par for the course this week (hence no dealer of the week).

Yep…about as lucky as a black cat that walked under13 ladders, smashed a mirror then spilled some salt (I was going to say ‘about as lucky as  a New Zealand sheep with two assholes ‘, but didn’t want to offend all the Kiwi farmers that read this blog).
