Creepy Croupier

I had made mention, from when we had been to Reno a few years back, of a method I'd come up with to fairly regularly win at roulette.

A while ago I had a dream where I was telling a couple of my friends from work about it, while we are at work.

I started in telling them, and one of them breaks in with the method he's heard of and used. Bet on the first and third twelve, and either red or black, or odd or even. Covers a good percentage of the slots. As he's telling this method, the scene transitions to a casino scene.

When he finishes, we're back at work, and I start telling my method. Once again the scene changes to the casino. My method is to place seven or eight bets on four corners in a zig-zag pattern down the numbers. Once again, it covers a good portion of the numbers, about 2/3 of it, and pays out 9-1. In the eight bets, there's going to be some double-overlaps so a few down the middle will pay out 18-1!!! If nothing else, this method causes you to lose money very slowly!!!

In my dream, I'm placing my bet, and the Croupier, a black man in a vest and bow tie with a high, tight fade haircut, looks at my wager and goes "Hey!!! Hey!!! What are you doing???" I reply, "It's a legal bet, right???" He replies, resignedly, "Yeah, it is."

Then, for just a split second, his eyes flash red, Terminator style...
