Question by < I >: Assuming the sum of all the inherent bias of a cruise liner’s roulette wheel are constant during an 8-hour ..?

… gambling session, can the detectable and rhythmic sway of the ship in choppier waters [combined with the knowledge of the game + the usual timing and visual clues] be made to work as a powerful bias in favor of the player?

BTW: YES, I’m aware that there is the “Garcia” method and other so-called “powerful” software out there, but my question is: Would the above strategy pay off in a “fresh walking scenario”, with no access to computers, software, and endless hours of pre-gambling observational opportunity?

Interesting thought, but I don’t think the movement of the ship would be a significant factor.

I believe that the behavior of the dealer and the mental influences of the players has a more significant impact. The mechanical factors and balance of the wheel would be the other important variable.

I once found a dealer who noticed that I played a certain group of 4-5 numbers following certain numbers which had just landed. She said, “Oh, I can see what you’re doing – and I can hit those numbers.” And she did – about 50% of the time. She and I were getting rich untill the pit boss yanked her off the wheel.

Another time I found a European wheel at a Vegas casino (only one “0″). I made a killing on that wheel one weekend. When I got home to Phoenix and realized how much money I’d won, I immediately got back into my car and raced back to that casino. That wheel was gone and I never again saw another European wheel in that town. Don’t know why it was so predictable, but the casino didn’t like losing money and promptly chucked the thing.

I also noticed people spending a fortune and losing by playing a certain favorite number. When they finally bust out and leave, their lucky number seems to always hit fairly soon (often on the very next spin). I look for that situation and always profit from the loser leaving.

There is no accounting for “Hot Streaks.” I knew a man who lived in his camper while working long hours and spending every dime he made betting on roulette. After months of poverty and anguish he had his “Hot Streak” and knew what to do with it. He left the table after winnning 0,000 in one night and returned to his native country (Germany). He was done!

Dealing with probability is a delight for some. It cracks my skull, but I can trial and error what I want. Since you are just “rolling dice” you can just use weighted factors.

float littleUns = 0.10f;
float middleUns = 0.30f; // 30% probability
float restUns = 0.60f; // complete the curve of 100% possibles

randomNo = new Random(1); // between 0 and 1

if ( randomNo < littleUns)
// either pick a new number between 1 to 10 or multiply
elseif( randomNo > littleUns && randomNo < middleUns)
// do like above
else
pick in the numbers between 40 and 50;

But don't forget, Roulette is complex rules with 0 and 00 -- House Wins and also Red/Black is low payout.

A Roulette System That Works

I saw a roulette system advertised on television one night. What a joke! It was nothing more than a money management system. It isn’t a bad idea to manage your bets and your bankroll when you gamble, but if that is all you are doing, you just slow your losses or rearrange them. After ten years working in a casino and running a roulette table, I can tell you that money management systems do not make you a profit in the long run.

There is a roulette system that works, however. It takes some careful planning and a fair amount of work. In fact, you may have to spend days or even weeks tediously “charting” roulette wheels, which means writing down the numbers that come up on each spin.

This work is boring, which explains why not many people are willing to use this system. That’s a good thing, by the way. Any system that is is too easy will be over-used, and so stopped by the casinos. For example, while working at a casino, I watched a man make ,000 over a period of months using this simple system, and management didn’t seem to care. Laziness, I guess, or they were making enough money on the other players to lose a few thousand back to this man every month.

On the other hand, after I quit my job and came in to gamble, the wheels were repaired and re-calibrated to eliminate any bias. More than one regular winner apparently would have been too much for them. You can see why systems which are more difficult and therefore less-used can work for a longer time, and why you should keep a low profile and not tell others what you are doing.

A Better Roulette System

Here is the system: Write down the results of 5,000 spins. See if there are any numbers that came up more than 151 times. If so, start betting on that number every spin. If not, try another wheel. That’s pretty much the whole plan.

Here is why it works. Roulette wheels sometimes have biases, meaning a number or numbers come up more often that they should by chance. Sometimes a number is spun frequently enough to make money. If 18 is showing up one in 30 spins, for example, and you bet on it each time, you get paid 35 to one when it hits, plus you keep your bet.

You would win 0 once for every 30 spins, on average, and lose 0 on the other 29 -bets. This would result in a profit of for every 30 spins, or about -per-hour on a “fast” table (40 spins per hour). It is boring betting the same number every time, and a good “average” doesn’t mean you won’t have nights where you lose hundreds of dollars. I saw that gentleman who won ,000 lose 0 some nights, but he stuck with it and made his money.

It is important that the bias is great enough. This particular player would play number only if it was coming up 1-in-33 spins or more often (151 out of 5,000 spins). His best number on one wheel came up once in every 29 spins, making him as much as 0 per hour for his time, depending on the pace of the game each night (with a bet each time).

Why do roulette wheels have biases? Possibly manufacturing imperfections, like a divider between pockets which is higher than others, and so “catches” the ball, causing it to fall on certain numbers more often than it should. A loose divider could absorb the “hit” of the ball causing it to drop right there rather than bounce off of it as it might normally do.

There are other reasons for biased roulette wheels. Fortunately, you don’t have to know why a wheel has a bias for this roulette system to work. You just have to know the bias is statistically significant. That’s why you track the results of at least 5,000 spins, and possibly more. Any less and you may be betting on a false-bias. Without getting into the mathematics, think of it this way: Any ten coin tosses can result in seven heads or tails, but an unbiased coin won’t ever come up heads 7,000 out of 10,000 tosses.

Of course, if you do notice temporary reasons for biases, like a sticky pocket that had a few drops of someone’s drink splashed into it, you may want to watch to see if the wheel is cleaned. The reason most biases remain for a while is that they are unknown or their cause is unknown, and replacing roulette wheels is expensive. Cleaning isn’t.

Switching a couple wheels around is a cheap solution some casinos use to thwart “wheel charters” as well, so memorize the wood-grain pattern of the wheel. That way you’ll know if it was moved or replaced. This roulette system works only on specific wheels (those with specific biases), so you need to know you are playing on the same wheel each time.

Ever wonder why the casino roulette layout is so far from the wheel and why the seats are so low that you have to crane your neck to get a look at the wheel? The answer is obvious.  The casino does not want the players looking at the wheel, they want them focusing on the layout.  Why?  Because nothing is happening on the layout all of the action is at the wheel and the dealer’s interaction with it. In fact they go so far as to design the layout so that the relationship of the numbers on the layout have no relationship to the numbers on the wheel.

Well, I say if the casino goes to such great lengths to keep me from focusing on the wheel then focusing on the wheel is exactly what I should do.

By paying close attention to the roulette wheel and watching literally hundreds of hours of spins we have discovered what the casinos did not want us to know and why most of the casinos and dealer schools have instructed their dealers to NOT look at the wheel when they place the ball in motion.

What we found is that the dealer, especially an experienced dealer can intentionally influence where the ball lands on the wheel.   We are not talking about a biased wheel, it would take weeks of observation of a single wheel to determine if there was a bias and that is not a very practical use of our time. We are talking about a dealer bias, one that can be spotted in minutes and with the use of just a pencil and a note pad can be exploited to win consistently and win big.

“Signature Roulette” is exactly what the name implies, we find a roulette dealer with a signature and we exploit it! There is no one better at identifying dealer signatures than Robin Frost.  I have played beside Robin many times and seen him predict the sector or the exact number of the next spin with amazing consistency.

Last year Robin, John Vance, Jerry Patterson and I were in Las Vegas.  We like to play downtown because there are a number of casinos close by and the atmosphere is a bit more casual.  We went to the Las Vegas Club to play craps, there was only on table open and it was full.  John and Jerry wandered off to check out some Blackjack games and Robin and I started watching the roulette wheel that was adjacent to the craps table.  The dealer was a young Asian lady.  Robin and I were standing no more than three feet from her and we were talking to each other about her remarkably consistent release and the sector the ball was landing in.  She heard every word.  After about five minutes Robin could not stand it any longer, he had to play.  We had determined just from observation, no tools no notes, just watching, that the next number should be Zero.  Robin said to me “give me ” (he really likes playing with other people’s money)

He got into the game and placed a bet on the Zero, a bet on the Double Zero and a bet on the split between the Zero and the Double Zero for the dealer. The dealer got the wheel up to speed and she released the ball right over the number we expected. The ball rattled about a bit and landed squarely in the Zero pocket. The young dealer screamed. She had just won 5. Robin said “well that will bring the suit” and seconds later the pit boss was asking what had happened.  The young dealer said, “I just won 5” the pit boss shrugged her shoulders and walked off.  Robin and I walked off to and with 0 of the casino’s money.

“Signature Roulette” teaches you to uncover the secrets of advantage roulette play.  It teaches you what the casinos do not want you to know.
