4 of 5

Ordinary people do not approach the green table, they watch and criticize. The timid and foolish play even or odd, black or red. Bravadoes and fools throw money at a number and laugh when they lose. Real players know the odds and know how far to go. The smart ones stay on the other side: they spin the wheel and always win. Finally, there are those like me, who enter casinos with a rifle leveled and a balaclava lowered on their heads.
