    heres a good one for you merenovice--how much would you need to have in your bankroll to play the double up system for a fiver a spin and have a million to one chance of losing your stash?  (system is to keep betting on blk till you win--doubling your stake each time if you miss)

    I guess this means betting, £5, £10, £20, £40 etc.
    The answer would be roughly £5 million pounds.

    On a 37 slot roulette wheel, the odds of 19 consecutive blacks is 882,379 to 1 and the odds of 20 consecutive blacks is 1,813,779 to 1.

    If you repeatedly doubled up you would be betting £2,621,440 on the 20th spin and you would have "invested" a total of £5,242,875 trying to win £5.
