Spam, eggs, chips and spam

Every now and then I check out my spam folder, just to make sure stuff isn't getting filtered when it shouldn't be. Today I did this to discover that I've received a very confusing and clever spam email - clever because it talks about a casino trick that I've often wondered about myself.

Here is the email in full:

yo mate, ok I`ll give you my trick but if you give it someone else I`ll fuckin kill you :)
you know in roulette you can bet on blacks or reds. If you bet $1 on black and it goes black you win $1 but if it goes red you loose your $1.
but I found a way you can win everytime:

bet $1 on black if it goes black you win $1

now again bet $1 on black, if it goes red bet $3 on black, if it goes red again bet $8 on black, if red again bet $20 on black, red again bet $52 on black (always multiple you previous lost bet around 2.5), if now is black you win $52 so you have $104 and you bet:

$1 + $3 + $8 + $20 + $52 = $84 So you just won $20 :)

now when you won you start with $1 on blacks again etc etc. its always bound to go black eventually (it`s 50/50) so that way you eventually always win. But there`s a catch. If you start winning too much (like $1000 a day) casino will finally notice something and can ban
you. I was banned once on royal casino. So don`t be too greedy and don`t win more then $200 a day and you can do it for years. I think bigger casinos know that trick so I play for real money on smaller ones, right now I play on elite vip casino: (www.spamspameggsandspam.spam) for more
then 3 months, I win $50-$200 a day and my account still works. You`ll find roulette there when you log in go to "specialty" section - "american roulette". And don`t you dare talling about it anyone else, if too many people knows about it casinos will finally found a way to block that trick. If you have any questions just drop me a line here or on skype.

c ya

please tell me when you will send me your roulette trick?
You promised you`ll send it few weeks ago :(

cheers

So, mathemagicians, help a gal out - why wouldn't this trick work? If you can explain it in a way that would fit into my tiny mind, I'll update the post with your clever clever words.

I'm only assuming it couldn't possibly work, mind you. Because otherwise everyone would do it and everyone would be rich and casino owners would be crying and would turn their pockets inside out to reveal fluff and flies.

like this.

Evidently, this has not happened.

UPDATE here we go, someone with a clever!

Flitterbee said... You don't *win* $104, you win $52 dollars, plus you get back the $52 dollars you spent on that last bet. So overall you've spent $84 and won $52, therefore you've lost $22 dollars
