INTERESTING: How to win at roulette
I thought that title would get your ‘attention’. This is my second post to John’s blog, he gave me authorship privileges to write ‘one’ article a couple of weeks ago, and now here I am putting another post on his blog! (I may lose my ‘interim’ author privileges, eh?) Well here goes…my late father wrote some memoirs before he died, and in those he wrote a piece about how he won on the roulette tables. Not always win he said, but more often than not. He looked at the roulette wheel as a circle, with various ‘arcs’ within it. I believe he had memorized the position of the numbers on the wheel, or maybe he carried a picture like the one below with him.
His ‘process’ was to look at the previous numbers that had ‘hit’ on a wheel (all casinos display them as a list…probably about the last 20 spins I believe). He would look for ‘patterns’ in the hits, ie, an abundance of numbers hitting that fell into a particular ‘arc’ of the wheel. In other words, take the picture below and assume the roulette wheel is a clock. Divide the clock into four sections, e.g., 12 – 3 o’clock, 3 - 6 o’clock, 6 - 9, and 9 -12. He would look at the list of the previous displayed hits on the wheel, and on some roulette tables he noticed that the most frequent numbers that hit fell into one of these four arcs, at least more times than the other arcs of the wheel. So on that roulette table, he would then place his bets on the nine or ten numbers (1/4 of the possible 38 numbers) that are located in that arc. For example, let’s say most of the numbers that had been hitting were numbers in the ‘6 - 9 o’clock’ section of the wheel. Looking in the sample wheel below, those numbers would be: 6, 10, 31, 19, 8, 12, 29, 25, 10, and 27.
Now if you follow his logic, it would imply that certain roulette tables have wheels that are slightly off-level, or for some reason have a tendency for numbers to land in a particular arc of the wheel. They are probably manufactured such that this is supposed to be an impossibility, but who knows….I know it worked for my dad, maybe it was the humidity of the room and its affect on those wheels, or some other phenomena like that…or maybe it was because this was over 15 years ago and they didn’t have the technology to make wheels like they do today. I also must confess I haven’t tried this yet, but I will on my next trip to a casino, and then I will let you know!

Frau believes that the bias comes from the “dealer”. She thinks that they unconsciously when they throw the ball will gravitate towards a section. Maybe they can’t put it in the slot they want, but watch the results when someone plays for them. And, notice how if the players get “hot” at any table game, how fast the pit will change the dealer. At roulette the also will change the ball when players start winning. So, there maybe some biases there somewhere.

Hey Dad I have tried something similiar to this, I thought however that Gramps was saying to play an area that had NOT been coming in (DOH..) That is what I had tried and lost over $200 pretty quickly.
You forgot to mention how he likes to play those numbers 3 times I believe before he doubles up on each of them. I think I broke the wheel into Thirds. Because if the table minimum is say $5 you play like 50 cents on each number (12 spots) for 3 spins = $18, then next 3 spins costs you $36 then the next 3 $72, then next 3 $144… And if one of your 12 doesn’t come in, in 12 spins it stinks..

Correction to my own blog entry: In the example of wheel numbers that I selected from the 6 - 9 o’clock arc, the second number should be ‘18′, not 10. I couldn’t read the image of the wheel….old age setting in I guess!

You guys have no idea what you are talking about.
The only thing which manipulates the roulette wheel is a dealer. There is no crooked wheels or anything like that.
They practice day after day playing against you, and like any profession in the world you can become a master in throwing roulette ball.
Decent dealer can outplay you even if you cover with chips 33-34 numbers. He will hit the empty number.
How? it is a lot to explain,but it is for real.
I am not a gambler,but I have seen many Casinos, and roulette tables in my life.
Starting with European and finally American and Canadian .
I have seen in Europe how roulette dealer is learning to control the wheel.
and when finally he does, than when he say number 35 , seconds latter the ball will land on number 35.
and so on.
There is ways to figure out this guys. First important thing, stay away from dealers with a lot of experience. You have to be patient, blend in, look for a new dealers, they usually at the tables after the big ( Friday ,Saturday) days, One of the best days to be at the casino is Sunday night, when the rush is over and casino lets the young inexperience dealers work. Look at his 2-3 consecutive spins and you can figure out if this is the one to play against or no. also do make sure that you are not only player at the table.
do not play alone , look for tables with people already playing.
For all this information I have given you, normally You will have to pay tons of money.
there is many websites which sell this information’s.
I am giving it to you for free.
If you are interested in learning more , what’s next,,let me know.
Good Night

Chris, Sounds like you are saying you either need to find a dealer that doesn’t know what he is doing, or maybe tip big a dealer that does. I suppose if you tip a dealer 5 or 10 everytime you hit, he will keep the ball landing in your ZONE. Does that make sense?

>You guys have no idea what you are talking about.
Like the old joke, that if some wants to bet you that the King of Hearts will jump out of the deck and spit in your ear, then if you bet be prepared to have a wet ear.
So this “dealer influence” says that the game is not random. I have no feel for that one way or the other. I have a lot of anecdotal evidence that it’s more random than not.
My wife firmly believes that the dealer - thrower - spinner can “sector” the ball. That’s why if you get a streak going they change the ball, the dealer, or — if the streak is big enough — close the table.

you guys just need to put 30 percent of ur money on black, when it hits, chill out for a sec, play some blackjack, then put double the amount on black, when it hitscash out and go home.
