Outside the box thinking

[johnnybagel2019]

Just had thoughts recently on the fact that the numbers in the game really have no significance.
They could be letters, names, colours etc but the randomness would always present itself in the same fashions and perceived patterns.
Our mind craves some order from the chaos. The order of the numbers on the roulette board feed that need for order and patterns.

Has anyone ever thought about taking those numbers and and randomly repositioning them all. In effect creating your own new board to work with. Or many different board layouts. Or a different board every time.

I'd assume similar results from most system play. But just thought I'd throw a random outside the box thought into the mix.

An odd first post but food for thought none the less!

Yes, I did it a long time ago.
You can make a table layout with blank squares and fill them in as the spins roll out.
Eventually - 15 spins or so - you'll have the first dozen filled - (so yes, someone can argue and be correct that the same dozen just hit 15 spins in a row).
From there you can keep filling the table in or use this new 'table' for other ideas.

Did it spark any interesting ideas/strategies from doing that or just present a more complicated board with same chaotic patterns?

Both actually.
You can of course look at as the same because how you arrange the numbers doesn't change the math of the game.
But someone could say to those 12 numbers (in my example) "That dozen won't hit 15 times in a row again so perhaps playing the other numbers would be smart". You can slice the cake in all kinds of ways but it's still a cake.
