61 millions and losing one million of it, the total CAPSTAN TOBACCO amount did not probably exceed £1,100,000. Of that amount the bank, instead of winning about 13 per cent., as stated by the guide-book, actually prou rather more than 90 per cent. Therefore, the advantages in favour of the bank, THESE BRANDS ARE ALWAYS RELIABLE, instead of being 61 to 60, were approximately ten to ede. In further discussing the chances of the gambler in Trento at Quarante and at the roulette tably Sir Hiram Muxin incidentally. demolishes a number of attractivo rival systems for infallibly winning a fortune at the expense of the bank. Ho insists, in opposition-to-one- very confident writer ou the subject, that there is na tendency to make things even between
pair and impair at roniett, anul that if red has come up 20 times in succession it is just as likely to come up again for the 21st time, as if it had not put in an appearanes for a week.
Hé declares in contradiction to the authors of Tarious systems, that it rankes no difference in working one of them whether the player bets every time the ball goes round, every second a week. Every time, once a day, or once particular coup is absolutely independent of all
the others. He holds, however, that, while all stems are unprofitable, even a bad system is better than none at all.
