I received an e-mail from a reader who wrote:
I have done what I thought was virtually impossible: I have had 18 losing months in a row, playing baccarat, American Roulette, and some blackjack. In this time, I have NEVER put together one decent run of luck. Is it possible that the casino could be rigged? Magnets in the roulette wheels? Card shufflers being controlled by an eye in the sky? I have been telling myself this is not possible. How long can someone keep losing?
I wrote back and told him that I did not think the casino was cheating unless everyone in the casino was losing. If that was the case then the casino would probably be under investigation. As to how long someone could keep losing, the answer is, "as long as they continue to gamble."
I suggested that he either lower the size of his bets or take a break from gambling for awhile. Sometimes taking some time off will change your luck. Although 18 months is a long time for a losing streak, it is not impossible. What was your longest losing streak?
