Lisa is gorgeous and sexy, lives alone as I do and is careful about whom she invites up to her pad. So I have taken the decision out of her hands and I entertain her. When she comes over to do a little online gambling, she brings her own laptop, so we have both of them logged in, sometimes even to the same game; we set up drinks, olives and nuts on the coffee table and we spread ourselves out on the old bearskin rug.

Tonight for a change we decide to play in an online bingo parlor. We are both logged in to the same game, we are both playing a few cards at the same time and both computers are set to ‘automatic play’. All we really have to do is to keep one eye on the screen and make sure to buy the bingo cards, and the computers do the rest. At this moment I am winning more than Lisa, but it’s small money and I am enjoying the conversation more than the bingo.

It’s time to change, I say. I feel like playing roulette. I click out to the casino lobby and then back into the roulette table. Lisa quits the bingo and sits watching me. I spread $10 chips across the board in the famous and well-tried serpentine pattern, covering only red and the numbers 1, 5, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 23, 27, 30, 32, and 34. This means that I am spending $120 in an attempt to win $350, not bad odds. 

Lisa suddenly says, “Can I do the same thing on the black numbers?”
“It’s not quite the same but you will also cover 12 numbers and you will be betting the same odds. Try it, that way we will have covered 24 of the 36 numbers between us. And we could have an interesting side bet between us on the winner. Spin the wheel!” I wondered what the people at the other end of the online casino were thinking of our roulette strategy.

I had a good evening. I won that spin of the wheel and I won the side bet as well!
