London.-There is one infallible way
OF winning money at Monte Carlo,
writes a correspondent of the London
! Times, and that is this: When fat
man is spinning the wheel bet on the
high numbers when it Is thin man
| bet on the low. 1t stands to reason
does it not?-that a small man can
not throw big numbers. Another good
plan is to put your stake in front or
you, shut your eyes and push 1t out on
the table with a 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 voislnS-
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 ana in
fallible systems, which makes no men,
ton of fat men or thin men, at fifty
shops in Monte Carlo. For fsFty
francs you can buy a system which
tells you how, on a capital of EGO, you
can e-"infaIlibly''-E10 a day.
There is another, much sold, which
offers you 1000 chances to win against
one chance to dose.
Casino Always Wins
Others guarantee-well, nearly g@ar-
antee-a winning of from 500 to 1000
francs a day. and there are any guam
tity OF systems under which losses"
are impossible" Yet, in spite of it
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 man won. at
one of the tables. $1,000 francs at a
single coup. The rules, 1t should be
explained, forbid q larger stake than
will produce more than 5000 francs
at a 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 we'll as on the color"
the high or low, odd or even, the
Observation-Disclosures the first, second or
third of thirty-six numbers-and so
forth.
l am told, but 1 have not calculated
ii, that it is thus possible TO win over
$4,000 francs on a single turn of the
wheel. But 81 900 is good enough and
the friend who had seen it and told me
added: "And that loss of $1,000 will
be worth 10000 to the house" He
probably underestimated it.
AS it was three days ago, the man
who won the money has probably lost
il again by now and in any case the
fame of il has gone far abroad and
brought any number of new gamblers
to the table 1t is by such advertise
ments that the Casino thrives.
