ROULETTE AT MONTE CARLO

WHY THE CASING THRIVES.

"The special correspondent of the Times at Monte Carlo writes: There is one infallible way of winning money at Monte Carlo, and that is this: When a fat man is spinning the wheel, bet on the high numbers, when it is a thin man, bet on the low. It stands to reason-does it not?-that

I am told-mitted limit of six plaques of 1,000f. but have not calculated it that it is each But whatever the average unit thus possible to win over 80,000 is, the Casino wins it seven times francs on a single turn of the wheel. over every minute; or 420 times But 37,000 is good enough; and the every hour; or 4,200 times each day. So far as, the individual is concern. Iriend who had seen it and told me added: "And that loss of 37,000 willed, that 37th chance-the pesky zero be worth 370.000 to the House."may not operate to his disadvantage We probably under-estimated it. As in a long sitting: and, if luck is with it was three days ago, the gentleman him, he will win. Or it may operate who won the money has probably lost so actively as to ruin him in half an it again by now and, in any case, the hour. But, regarding the public as fame of it has gone abroad and brought a single better, that belter is roughly any number of new gamblers to the losing regularly to the tables 4,200 It is by such advertisements units (subject to more accurate cal- table

It has to be so. The Casino, with all its adjuncts, is an immensely cost- ly institution to support. Besides its own upkeep it provides the money which makes Monte Carlo the most beautifully ordered and most luxuri- ously-appointed town in the world. The dividends of the Societe, over and above "all this, are no secret. the public has to pay for it all. Against that inexorable 37th chance no system is of any avail, except for the fun of working at it and for the plea- sure of self-deception. Even the fat man and the thin man are powerless. The one cardinal and dominant fact There are those who say there is vir

One presumes that the writers receive no payment from the Casino for their labour, but how handsomely it could afford to pay them! There is surely no money- making institution in the world which gets so much and such admirable free advertisement as the Societe des Bains de Mer (as the proprietary or- ganization is called) of Monte Carlo.

The God of Chance, being blind, naturally likes blind people. Which also atands to reason, 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. Otherwise, how can you tell the voi sins-the neighbouring numbers-to the last throw but one, so that you can know where the ball is coming back to? Also, you can buy elabor- atc and infallible systems, which make no mention of fat men or thin men, tion the game is absolutely fair. Few
