Why the sudden interest in blackjack as a punt of choice?
A wise choice, but in order to develop your game and move forward you are going to have to abandon those bonkers theories and questionable maths that regularly attracted applause from the regulars of that other place; please give up on all of the nonsense around using past streaks in the results as a means of informing future betting decisions and attempting to calculate when the "reversion to the mean" will happen for past variance. It is indeed possible to play blackjack with an advantage, but it's essential you take time to understand why and how that advantage manifests itself. There are a lot of very numbers-savvy people here and any attempts at promoting, or justifying, voodoo based solutions (which made up the vast majority of the discourse at the Roulette30 forum IMHO) are likely to be met with a hail of digital machine-gun fire.
I will say that Roulette is fun and I still play it occasionally. Despite the higher house edge when playing against the wheel of doom, it is possible for the variance in your bank balance to be less than at the BJ tables - due to the speed of the two games, the minimum one can get away with betting and the probability of not losing each time; for BJ it's around 50%, with Roulette you can cover 30/37 numbers with the same five unit (£/$) bet. However, for one it's possible to play with an advantage continuously but the other only in the most exceptional of circumstances, and even then that can be open to a lot of debate.
Where are you looking to apply your newly found skills?
