0 plainglazed 67 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) is it roulette? yes, indeedy DD, that is it. Around and round you go Against the grain you race - roulette wheel (usually wooden) spins in one direction and the ball (the "you" throughout) is thrown in the opposite direction Before you fall off track All are in their place - just before the ball falls off the upper track and into the area of the slots all bets must be placed Yet uncertainty presides - strictly a game of chance Careering to and fro - with the ball bouncing around the slots Alternately albeit en route - colors and numbers alternate black/red and odd/even on the wheel and PoW - alternate letters of "albeit" are, in this case, l e t; then en route gives - rou let te Still in the end you show - when the ball is finally still, the winning number is shown Thanks to all who played along.
