London.-There Is one infallible way
Of winning money at Monte Carlo,
writes correspondent of the London
Times, and that is this: When a fat
man is spinning the wheel bet on the
high numbers; when 1t is thin man
bet on the low. 1t stands to reason
does it not?-that small man can
not throw big numbers. Another good
plan is to put your stake in front of
you, shut your eyes and push 1t out on
the table with rake. The god OF
chance. being blind, naturally likes
blind people. Which also stands to rea-
son, does it not? There you have the
whole philosophy Of roulette.
OF course there are people who tell
you that you have no right to begin to
gamble until, at least, you know the
order of the numbers, both on the
wheel and the table, by heart. Other
wise, how can you tell the voisins-
the neighboring numbers-to the last
throw but one, so that you can know
where the ball is coming back to?
Also you can buy elaborate and in
fallible systems, which makes no men
ton of fat men or thin Men, at fifty
shops in Monte Carlo. For forty
francs you can buy system which
tells you how, on capital Of EGO, you
can -"infallibly"-f10 a day.
There Is another, much sold, which
offers you 1000 chances to win against
one chance to lose.
Casino Always Wins.
Others guarantee-well, nearly guar
nntee-a winning Of from 500 to 1000
francs day, and there are any guam
tity of systems under which losses
are impossible" Yet, in spite Of 1t
all the Casino Is one Of the most sue
cessful business Institutions in Europe,
and will doubtless weather even the
difficulties Of the exchange and the
rise in the cost of living.
Three days ago there a man won, at
one Of the tables, $1,000 francs at q
single coup. The rules, 1t should be
explained, forbid larger stake than
will produce more than 5000 francs
at q single bet. But, having staked
the limit on an individual number
you can also lay bets-each to the
linton the various combinations Of
that number as well as on the "colOr,
the high or low, odd or even, the
.'dozen"-whether the first, second OF
third of tfiirty-six numbers--and 81
forth.
am told, but have not calculated
il. that 1t Is thus possible to win Ovel
$4,000 francs on single turn Of thu
wheel. But $1,000 is good enough ant
the friend who had seen it and told IN
added: "And that loss of $1,000 will
be worth $4,000 to the house." H.
probably underestimate 1t.
As 1t was three days ago, the mai
who won the money has probably los
It again by now and in any case tn
fame Of 1t has gone far abroad ant
brought any number Of new gambler
to the table. 1t ID by such advertise
ments that the Casino thrives.
They Keep at Il.
Almost every year new books tellin
you how to win at Monte Carlo ar
published. Every year series Of charm
ins articles are written for one journa
or another analysing various "sys
tems." One presumes that the writer
receive no payment from the Casln
for their labor. But how handsomel
IL could afford to pay them! There
surely no money making institutio
IN the world which gets 20 much an
