Roulette is a game of science. With a spinning wheel, spinning ball, gravity, and ball bounce, the individual components can be analyzed through the science study known as physics. By using physics, a player can determine with an increased level of probability where the ball is likely to land. You won’t will every spin, but to win big money at roulette, you don’t need to win every spin, you just have to learn how to increase your roulette wheel odds.
Understanding How Roulette Wheel Odds Are Calculated
Roulette wheel odds are based on the probability of the roulette ball landing on a specific number or color. The odds are found by dividing the number of positive outcomes by the number of total outcomes. For example. There are 38 slots on the roulette wheel. Eighteen of those slots are colored red, 18 are colored black, and 2 are colored green (one in European roulette where there is only one green slot labeled zero, and there are only 37 total slots). If you bet on black, there would be 18 positive outcomes (any one of the 18 black slots) and 20 negative outcomes. Your odds of success are 18 divided by 38 (the total possible outcomes) and you get .4737 or 47.37 percent. This would be the same when betting either color (red/black), a range bet of 1-18 or 19-36, or an even/odd bet.
The more specific the bet, the lower the odds of success. For a single number, there is just a 2.63 chance of success (1 divided by 38).
Note that the house always keeps a 5.26 percent advantage over the players when these odds are at play. Remember the even/odd, red/black, or range bets? Your odds are 47.37 percent. The house’s odds are 52.63 percent (100 percent minus 47.37 percent). The difference between your odds of success and the house’s is .0526 or 5.26 percent. To understand how this remains true other bets, you need to understand the relationship between the odds and the payout.
How Roulette Wheel Odds Are Related to Payout
In simplest terms, the greater the odds of a player winning, the lower the payout; the lower the odds of success, the higher the payout. Bets like even/odd, red/black, or range bets are known as even money bets become whatever you bet, that is the same amount you get back if you win. For example. If you bet $50 on an even money bet and won, then you would get $100 from the dealer (your initial bet, plus $50 in winnings). If you won a 2 to 1 bet, then you would get $2 for every $1 bet. This means that if you bet that same $50 on a 2 to 1 bet and won, then you would receive $150 from the dealer (your initial bet plus $100). In roulette, the odds go all the way to a single number bet that is calculated at 35 to 1. This means that if you put your $50 on a single number and won, then you would receive $1800 (your initial bet plus 35 x 50).
If a player put $50 on a single number and it hit once every 36 spins, they would break even. Remember that the wheel has 2 green slots labeled zero and double zero, however, so the odds are not calculated off of 36 numbers but 38. Statistically, the player should hit their number once every 38 spins, which would amount to $1800 earned for $1900 bet: a slow bleed on the bankroll. With that in mind, the odds of hitting a single number are 2.63 percent, but you get a payout of 35 times your bet, which increases your odds to 92.05 percent (35 times 2.63). This leaves the house with 7.95 percent and the difference between your odds and the house: 5.26 percent.
How to Bring Roulette Wheel Odds Into Your Favor
It should be apparent that you are not going to win money over the long-term if the house maintains its advantage. Unless a player can shift the roulette wheel odds, the house will always end up with your bankroll. Many people have tried mathematical formulas and money management systems, but they all have the same problem: they cannot change the house advantage.
Remember, now, that roulette is a game of science. If you can increase the probability of your number hitting even once ever 34 spins instead of once every 38 spins then you will have taken away the house edge and will be making money. When your number hit every 38 spins your odds were 2.63 percent. Hitting ever 34 spins, your odds would be 2.94 percent. Notice that you only need to increase your odds by less than 1 percent to have a significant advantage over the house. If you increased your odds a mere 1.5 percent your number would only have to hit 4 times out of 120 spins for you to make a huge amount of money. By learning how to conceal your bets, you will be able to do this without the casino being any the wiser.
How do you use physics to bring the roulette wheel odds into your favor? About 30 percent of the wheels in casinos have a slight bias toward hitting certain areas of the wheel. It is not a significant bias that is detectable by most – if it was the casino would shut it down, but remember, you only need your number to hit 1 to 1.5 extra times over 100 spins. Calculating ball bounce based on wheel spin rates is another way to increase the probability of having your number hit. While these techniques can be done with just your eye and mind, it is much easier to use software. A computer can take spin data and calculate probabilities for you almost instantly. Of course, you need to learn how to use them without getting caught, but this, as with the physics itself, is a teachable skill.
In the end, roulette is a game of physics, and by using physics to bring the roulette wheel odds into your favor, this iconic casino game can be more than just a game: it can become your career and change your life.
Roulette has been around since the middle of the 17th century. People creating faulty mathematical formulas, bogus systems, and losing their sanity and bankroll has been around just as long. With such a long history of casino victories, many people have wondered if it is possible to beat the game. The good news: you can learn to win at roulette. Even better, since increasing your money is based on winning, when you learn to win, you learn how to make money on roulette by default.
Understanding the Basics of the Game
Before you can learn how to make money on roulette, you need to understand how the game is played. Roulette is a casino game with a spinning wheel and ball. The wheel is divided into 38 slots. Thirty-six of the slots alternate red and black and are randomly numbered 1 to 36. The final two slots are colored green and labeled zero and double zero. The wheel is spun in one direction and a small ball is spun on the inside of the wheel in the opposite direction. As the wheel slows, gravity causes the ball to drop and hit the numbered slots. After a few bounces, the ball comes to rest in on one of the numbers. The point of the game is to deduce what number or color the ball will land on.
Bets are placed on a table with three columns of numbers corresponding to the colors and numbers on the wheel. There are 12 numbers in each column with the zero and double zero at the top. Bets can be placed on individual numbers or on the intersection of the numbers. Bets can also be placed outside of the number grid on red, black, odd, even, individual columns, or number ranges.
There is not limit to the number of bets that can be placed, but unless your winning number pays out at a high enough rate to make up for the losses on all of the bets you didn’t win, you end up losing money.
Knowing How the Odds Relate to Payout
If you are going to learn how to make money on roulette, you need to understand how the odds relate to payout. In simplest terms, the greater the chance of your bet winning, the lower the payout. The smaller the chance of success, the greater the payout. For example, if you make a straight bet on odd, even, red, or black you have a 47.37 chance of winning (remember, there is also a green zero and double zero on the wheel). The house has a 52.63 chance of winning. By subtracting the two, you notice that the house has a 5.26 percent advantage. Because you have just under a 50 percent chance of winning a simple bet like this, the payout is simple as well: even money. This means that if you bet $100, you get $200 if you win (your initial hundred and an equal amount in winnings). A bet on a two to 1 column would pay you $300 (your initial bet, plus $200 winnings). Hitting a single number has the highest payout at 35 to 1. Surprisingly, even though the odds and payouts are varied, the house advantage remains constant at 5.26 percent.
Learning to Beat the Odds
If you want to learn how to make money on roulette, you need to learn how to tip the odds in your favor. It helps to learn professional roulette tips. Many people have come up with fancy betting strategies and mathematical progressions. The simple truth behind each and every one of them is that they all fail eventually because they cannot reduce the house’s edge. Money management strategies may allow you to play longer, but in the end, as the adage goes, the house always wins.
But people have beaten the casino, right? It is true that a few people through history have made enormous scores playing roulette. It is this chance that keeps people coming back. Except for a handful of people, the big winners in history have either cheated or gotten lucky. We want to look at the handful of people that didn’t.
In the 1800’s Joseph Jagger broke the bank at Monte Carlo by calculating and exploiting wheel bias. In the early 2000s, a group of eastern Europeans used smart phones to calculate the wheel’s spin rate and ball drop to predict numbers and took the Ritz casino in the U.K. for over a million pounds. What do these two examples have in common? Both used science to beat the game.
Roulette is a game of science. From the spinning wheel and ball, gravity, and ball bounce to the croupiers spin signature, the game is based entirely on physics. Since each element of the game is based on a scientific principle, each element of the game can be analyzed. Granted, the casino is not going to let you break out your measuring tape, scale, stopwatch, and computer to run a series of tests on their wheels. Lucky for you, in the 21st century you no longer need this because a simple phone, some software, and a little training can give you all the edge you are going to need.
In short, while learning how to make money on roulette takes a basic understanding of the game, it does not take memorization of a lot of fancy bets or application of difficult betting strategies. All it takes is a little time and effort to determine which wheels can be beat, which wheels provide enough difference on the odds to make playing them worthwhile, and then applying physics to increase your odds and beat the casino. Of course, another part of the necessary training is doing all of this without drawing attention to yourself and getting caught. While they might not throw you out of the casino, at very least they will change out the wheel and take away your advantage.
The game of roulette is an iconic casino game. It is not difficult to learn to play, and you can learn how to bet on a roulette table in a matter of minutes. The trick, however, is not learning how to bet, but how to win those bets.
Understanding the Basics of Roulette
There are two primary variations of roulette: American and European. Both variations start with a wheel divided into 36 numbered slots with alternating red and black coloration. The numbers are not in numerical order. In the European variant, a green zero slot is also added, making 37 total slots on the wheel. In American roulette, an additional green slot labeled double zero is placed next to the green zero slot. Thus, in American roulette, there are 38 total slots on the wheel.
Bets are placed on a table with 3 columns 12 numbers with the same red and black colors that are on the wheel. The green zero and double zero are set above the columns. Outside of the columns are the words even and odd along with a black and red diamond. The 3 columns are labeled 2 to 1 at the bottom and are divided into 1st, 2nd, and 3nd 12’s on the side. There is also a space labeled 1-18 and another 19-36.
When the dealer, or croupier, spins the wheel in one direction, spin a small ball in the opposite direction on the inside of the wheel. As the spin slows, gravity pulls the ball down until it hits a divider between the numbered slots. Because of the conflicting spins of the ball and wheel, the ball will bounce several times until it comes to rest in one of the colored and numbered slots. The object of the game is to predict where the ball will land and place your best accordingly.
The Most Common Roulette Bets are Easy to Learn
There are dozens of variations to roulette betting, but there is only a handful of common bets. In the end, the house odds are the same for all of them, so it really does not give you any advantage to knowing all sorts of complex betting strategies, despite what many “systems” may try to tell you. We’ll explain this shortly.
The easiest bets to understand are even/odd and red/black. These are even money bets, which means that if you bet $10 and win you get $20; your initial ten and a matching ten. To place one of these bets, you simply put your chips on the words even, odd, or one of the colored diamonds.
Other easy “outside” bets (because the are on the outside of the number grid) are made by placing your chips on the 1-18 or 19-36, the 2 to 1 boxes at the bottom of the column, or in one of the “third” boxes to the side of the grid. You can also bet on the green zero or double zero.
On the inside of the grid, you can put your chips on a single number or on any intersection of the numbers. For example, on the bottom left of the board the numbers 31 and 32 sit horizontally to each other and they are directly above the 34 and 34 so that 31 is directly above the 34. You could place a chip on any single number, on the intersection of two numbers such as 28/29, 28/31, 31/32, or 29/32. You can also place a chip on the place where all four numbers meet.
Note that you do not have to limit your selections and can place as many bets as you want. For example, you could bet on reds and evens, or on the 2nd third and black. Obviously, the more bets you place the greater the chances that your number will be a winner. Unfortunately, unless the payout on this winning number is high enough to cover all of the bets that you lost, you end up losing money. Some books and systems will tell you that by mixing your bets in a particular way you can increase your odds of winning. The truth is that no combination of bets is going to reduce the house’s built-in advantage.
Learning How to Bet on a Roulette Table is Really About Understanding the Odds
You may have noticed that some of the bets are easier to win than others. This is known as the “odds” of winning. For example, you would have a 50 percent chance of winning by betting on black, red, odd, or even if there were only the 36 numbers, but because of the green zero and double zero, the chances of spinning one of these is not 18 out of 36, but 18 out of 38 or 47.37 percent. This means that the house has a 52.63 percent chance of winning. When you hear that the house has a 5.26 percent advantage, this is the difference between the house’s change of winning and yours.
The more difficult the bet, the lower the odds of winning. For example, betting on a single number gives you a 1 in 37 or 1 in 38 chance of winning depending on whether the wheel has a single zero, or a zero and double zero. Divide one by 37 or 38 and you get a 2.70 percent or 2.63 percent, respectively.
The payouts on each bet are based on the odds. The higher the odds, the less the payout; the less the odds, the greater the payout. A simple red, black, odd, or even bet will pay out even money. A single number will pay out at 35 to 1. Regardless of the odds and payout, however, the house always keeps its edge.
It’s Not Knowing How to Bet on a Roulette Table, It’s Knowing How to Win
The reality of roulette is that in its purest form it cannot be beaten without luck. Despite what the different “systems” try to convince you, the odds are the odds. Most systems are based on the “junk math” concept that one spin will influence the next. Yet, as any mathematician will tell you, the probability of spinning a number or color is the same every time regardless of what happened before. For example, if the dealer spun 28 reds in a row, you may think that it is now more likely that a black will be spun because it is “due”. After all, a black has to be spun eventually. However, mathematically, the chance of a red being spun next is the same as it was for each of the others, exactly 47.37 percent. While logic says that a black must be spun eventually, math says that the odds of it happening on the next spin are the same as for each other spin. You do not gain any advantage by spotting or tracking streaks or number patterns.
If the odds are the odds, how can you win? The secret is found in science. Roulette is a game of physical properties: a spinning wheel, a spinning ball, gravity, a human dealer. Physics is the science of studying the physical world. Through physics, predictions can be made that will increase your odds of selecting the correct number. You will still lose more times than you win, but because of the relationship between the odds and payout, if you can increase the chance of a single number selection hitting even one percent more often, you will be making huge profits.
In the end, it is not knowing dozens of fancy bets that is going to allow you to win at roulette, it is using science to accurately predict what numbers are more likely to hit so you can increase your odds of winning.
Roulette was developed by a monk in the 1600s. The odds in favor of the house on most bests was determined to be 2.7 percent. When roulette came to America, a second green slot (the double zero) was added and the house edge grew to 5.26 percent in the United States. What this means is that while it is possible to have a hot streak, unless you find out how to increase roulette odds in your favor, you are ultimately going to lose your bankroll. The good news is that by using the physics of roulette, learning how to increase roulette odds is not only possible but relatively easy to do.
Start By Understanding How Roulette Odds are Calculated
Roulette is played on a wheel with 36 numbered red and black slots. On a European roulette wheel, a green “zero” slot is added, and on and American roulette wheel two green slots are added and labeled “zero” and “double zero”. On a straight bet of even/odd or red/black the chances of success would be 50/50, but with the green slots on the wheel the probability that you will win is 47.37 percent in America and 48.65 percent in Europe: 18 (the number of red/black or odd/even slots) divided by 37 or 38 (the total number of slots on the wheel). This means that over time you will statistically win about 47 to 48 spins out of 100 and the house will win 52 to 53. The house edge is calculated by subtracting the house’s winning percentage minus yours: 52.63 – 47.37 or 5.26 percent. Since the payout on these bets it even money, the odds are simple.
The same principal is applied to more complex bets. A single number bet pays out at 35 to 1. You win if your number is spun. The chances of that happening are 1 in 37 or 38 depending on the wheel. Dividing that out, in America you have a 2.63 percent chance of winning (2.7 percent in Europe) each time the wheel spins. Since you win 35 times your bet when your number hits, you multiply it out to get 35 x .0263 or .9205 minus the house win percent of .9737 (100 – 2.63) and you get .0526 or 5.26 percent: the standard house edge.
You Cannot Increase Roulette Odds Through Mathematics
Ever since the game was invented, people have tried, unsuccessfully, to beat the game through math. In fact, legend says that the monk who invented the game literally went crazy trying. Of course, just because you can’t do it does not mean that snake oil salesmen won’t try to sell you a “system”. The basic fallacy of all math systems come down to one key statistical point: every spin in roulette is independent of all others. This means that, mathematically, what happened before has absolutely no bearing on what will happen in the future.
If the wheel only had red and black slots you would have a 50/50 chance of spinning red. If red came up and the wheel was spun again, you would still have a 50/50 chance of hitting red. Even if red came up 5, 25, 300, 3,000 times in a row the very next spin would still come down to this: 18 red and 18 black equates to a 50/50 chance of spinning red. While logic tells us that eventually a black will be spun, that is different than saying there are increased odds that a black will be spun because of what happened on prior spins. Mathematically, each spin gives the house the same 5.26 percent advantage regardless of what happened on the spins before.
While science and math often go hand in hand, their basic premises are quite different, especially when approaching the roulette wheel. You will use math in your calculations, but your odds will not increase because of the math. What will increase your odds are the physical properties of the wheel, ball, and croupier. These physical traits can be measured through the science known as physics.
Using physics, there are several ways that you can predict where the ball will land and increase your odds of winning. Remember, when betting a single number, you have a 2.63 chance of winning. If you could increase that percentage by even 1 percent, you would have eliminated the house edge, and if your number were to be spun 4 to 5 percent of the time (which means the house could still win 95 to 96 percent of the spins) you would have an enormous advantage of 5 to 8 percent over the house (remember, single number bets pay out at 35 to 1). This would equate to thousands of dollars each day on even smaller bets.
Wheel bias, dealer signatures, and calculated ball bounce are all very real. Identifying them can be learned and mastered with a little work and practice, but nothing can beat the use of electronic assistance. After all, we can’t think and calculate as fast as a computer can, and calculating spin rates and ball bounce does involve some math. It is also important to note that not every wheel is biased and not every dealer has a signature that can be exploited. Learning to identify which wheels are beatable and which one provide enough of an edge to make play worthwhile is part of the process.
One thing is certain, however, through the physics of roulette, you can learn how to increase roulette odds in your favor and beat the house frequently enough to make an excellent living.
For further reading, I suggest how to win at roulette and how to play roulette as good starting points.
You’ve probably heard that the house has the advantage in roulette. Even so, there have been many people who have beaten the game and won large sums of money. Some of those who have done so include:
Charlie Wells who won 2 million francs at Monte Carlo in 1891 by making random bets.
Ashley Revell who won $135,000 in 2004 by betting his life savings on red.
Mike Ashley who won 820,000 pounds in 2008 by making a complex “complete 17” bet.
Note that these people made their money in a single night by way of luck. Even still, none of them hold the record for the biggest win in roulette.
In 1873, a man name Joseph Jagger took several days to analyze the wheels in Monte Carlo. He found that there was a slight wheel bias that he could exploit. Over the next several days, he took the casino for an amount that is said to be between $4.5 million and $7 million in today’s money. Jagger is still known as “The man who broke Monte Carlo.”
In 2004, a group of eastern Europeans used computer analytics to record the wheel spin and determine the probability of a number hitting based on the physics of the wheels. They took the Ritz casino in the U.K. for over a million pounds.
Plan to Win At Roulette Over Time
The winnings of the last group above were made over a short period of time and were based on science, not luck. Yet, even they do not constitute the biggest win in roulette. The truth is that the biggest win in roulette is not known and is kept quiet on purpose. The above examples give a sampling of biggest wins in a single night, biggest wins based on luck, biggest wins over a few days, biggest wins until the player(s) got thrown out of the casino, etc. But what is the biggest win over a period of time? Over two or three weeks, two or three months, or even two or three years?
In order to have the kind of run it takes to accomplish the biggest win in roulette, several factors must all be in play:
The player must be able to win consistently over a period of time. This means that there must be more than just a lucky streak, but a successful method of play that generates results.
The player must be winning enough to keep up the streak.
The player must be able to stay under the radar so that the long-term winnings do not raise casino alarms and get them banned.
Does this player exist? Yes, in fact, there is not just one player that fits this profile, but many. Ever since Jagger discovered that roulette could be beaten by determining wheel bias others have tried to replicate his success. With the advent of computers, this has become easier. The trick is knowing how to gather and use the information to determine what wheels are biased, calculate the degree of bias, and do all of this without being caught. If you are caught, you could find yourself in the same quandary as Balvinder Sambhi who won 28,000 pounds over two months a couple years ago. He is now banned from every Grosvenor Casino in England.
Winning is Easy When You Know How
Winning at roulette is going to happen in one of two ways: luck or science. The list of people above shows that it is possible to win large sums of money by sheer luck. However, if you can’t afford to lose your house, car, retirement, etc., then this is probably not the route you want to take. The other option is science. Roulette is a game about physics. A wheel is spun in one direction and the ball is spun another. Through a simple formula (if you’re not a mathematician you can use a computer) you can determine if the wheel has a bias toward a certain set of numbers. Approximately 30 percent of the wheels do, and with a little practice you can determine which of those have enough bias to make it worth your time to play.
By understanding the physics of roulette, it is possible to beat the house by slightly shifting the house odds to your favor. Not only is it possible, but people are doing it every day. Granted, this is not a get rich quick scheme or magic trick. You will not be betting large sums of money on a single spin and be finished in one night. You have to put in the time, perhaps 20 hours or so a week playing the game. But, if you can follow the simple instructions, enjoy spending time in the casino and are willing to play roulette several times each week, then not only can you earn a lot of money, but the next time somebody Googles “biggest win in roulette”, it may be your name that shows up on the short list.
There is a big difference between playing roulette and winning. Roulette is a deceptive game and most people will end up losing more money than they win. It seems so simple, and with bets like red or black and odd or even people assume they have at least a 50/50 chance of winning. Add this misinformation to the many misleading mathematical systems that are sold to the gullible and it’s no wonder that casinos love to see their tables full. The good news is that you can learn how to master roulette. Even better news, it’s science, but not rocket science.
It’s Easy to Understand the Basics of the Game
When you first sit down at the roulette table you will notice a wheel divided into 38 numbered and colored slots and a table with the same numbers and colors. Players place their bets on the table and hope that a ball spun on the inside of the wheel lands in the corresponding slot on the wheel.
In America, the wheel has 38 numbers: 1-36, zero, and double zero. The numbers are colored red or black except for the zero and double zero which are on green slots. The numbers are arranged in a random pattern, but he colors alternate red and black. In Europe, the wheel is the same, except there are 37 slots and no double zero.
The table has the 36 numbers arranged in 3 columns in the same order they appear on the wheel. There are 12 numbers in each column. To the outside of the columns are boxes to bet on the ranges 1-18 and 19-38, 2 to 1 column bets, odd and even bets, and a red and black diamond to bet simple colors. At the top of the columns are the spaces for the green zeros.
The dealer, or croupier, spins the wheel in one direction and then spins the ball on the inside of the wheel in the opposite direction. As the wheel slows, gravity pulls the ball down where it hits the numbered and colored slots. The ball typically bounces 3 to 5 times before it comes to rest in one of the slots. If your number or color hits, you are a winner.
Understanding What Does Not Work
While you may be tempted to bet on red or black, odd or even, or one of the large ranges thinking that you have a 50/50 chance of winning, don’t. These would be your odds if the wheel did not have the green spaces. Since it does, every one of these bets has 18 possible positive outcomes and 18 opposite negative outcomes plus the negative zero and double zero. In short, there are 18 positive and 18 negatives or a 52.63 percent chance that you are not going to win even this simple bet. Basic math tells us that the house maintains a 5.26 percent advantage on every bet, every time.
There are systems being sold online and even in the casino gift shops “teaching” people to beat roulette by using bogus math tricks. Some of these techniques are almost as old as the game itself. Each of the systems has the same flaw: they try to tell you that past spins have some sort of cosmic relationship to what is going to happen in the future. In reality, it doesn’t matter what has happened in the past, each time the croupier spins the wheel the odds of any given number or color coming up is exactly the same as it was the time before, and the time before that, and the time before that, and so on. It does not matter if red was spun 100 times in a row, on the next spin there is still a 48.6% percent chance that red will be spun again, a 48.6% chance that black will be spun, and a 2.7% chance the ball will land on green. These percents do not change based on past wheel spins.
Other systems are based on money management and actually make mathematical sense. The only issue with them is that the casinos know about them and have put their own systems in place to ensure they cannot work. The most common, and oldest, of the money management systems are known as progressive betting strategies such as the Martingale or Grand Martingale. The basic thought is that if you double your bet every time you lose, then eventually you will win. This makes sense, except that the house puts betting limits on the tables so you can’t do this past the 7th or 8th consecutive loss. For example, if you bet just $10 on red and lost, you would bet $20 the next time. If you won, you would get $40, enough to cover both bets ($30) and still make $10. However, if you lose, then you need to bet $40 (you have now bet $70 total for a possible win of only $10). The next bet would be 80, then 160, 320, 640, and 1280. Note that by the 8th bet you have put down $2550 all for the chance to win $10. Worse, if you lose, the standard house limit if not $1000 is $2000 on outside bets. Some even have $500 limits. This means you can no longer double your bet and your bankroll is in serious trouble.
The reality is that mathematical strategies and money management systems are encouraged by the casinos because they do not work. They even make it easy for you to use them by posting the last spins on a large neon board. They know that players are easily fooled into believing in junk math that says certain colors or numbers are “due” despite the odds.
What Does Work
If you want to know how to master roulette, then you need to look past math and into science. While the two are related, they take very different approaches. The science behind roulette is simple: there is a spinning wheel, a spinning ball, gravity, and ball bounce. These are all elements of the science known as physics. When you understand the physics of the game, you can predict the outcomes, increase your odds, and win.
You may be wondering why nobody has done this before if it is so easy. In fact, they have. All the way back in 1891 a man named Joseph Jagger figured out that a percentage of the wheels would have a slight bias and hit certain numbers with a slightly greater frequency than normal. He understood that there only needed to be 1 percent of bias for him to beat the house odds and make money. Any more than that and he would really be rolling in the green. Jagger took his theory to Monte Carlo and over a week, despite the casinos best efforts to thwart him, became known as “The man who broke Monte Carlo” taking them for between $4.5 and 7 million pounds in today’s valuation.
As recently as a few years ago a group of eastern Europeans pulled off the same thing in the Ritz casino in England, only they were using mobile phones to predict the numbers based on wheel spin speed, ball bounce, etc. The point is that people have used science to beat the casinos for huge sums of money for almost 150 years. Most casinos are wise enough not to be taken for huge sums anymore, so the secret is to take smaller amounts over a long stretch of time and remain undetected doing so.
Many free physics tools and lesson are available that will teach you to spot the dominant diamonds or predictable ball bounce and increase your odds of winning. However, the best way to use physics to win is by using computerized assistance or an actual roulette computer. The advantage of the computer is that it is more accurate and can beat more wheels. The disadvantage is that at least half the casinos don’t allow them and you stand a greater chance of being caught. The best thing out there today is a cross-reference system that maximizes the benefits of all the systems.
By learning how to spot the bias in wheels, knowing which wheels are worth playing, and staying undetected using your new knowledge, you can not only now how to master roulette, but you will know how to make money playing.
The average person thinks casinos can’t be beaten. But the average person has no real experience with winning at the casino. This article discusses the real truth explaining how to win at the casino. I’m talking about the techniques that win millions, have made headlines, and continue to be a real threat to modern casinos.
Which games can you win at the casino?
At some point, every casino game has been beaten one way or another. Some of the strategies involve illegal cheating that can put you in jail. And other techniques are perfectly legal even today. Every casino spends a fortune to protect revenue. Not just from professional players, but also collusion involving their own staff. The security cameras monitor their own staff even more than the players.
Each game has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. The information below will give you an idea of what suited to you.
The Illegal Methods to Win at The Casino
Knowing how to win at the casino is not as difficult as it may first seem. The more you research, the more common you’ll see it is. But I wouldn’t suggest illegal cheating, because there are plenty of legal strategies to win in casinos. There are a few examples:
Card games
Many card games enable the player to physically touch the cards. At the very least, you can get close enough to splash invisible ink on particular cards. For example, you may want to mark aces. You can use special equipment such as glasses to see the marked cards. Nobody else can see the invisible ink but you, so you will know which card is an ace, just by looking at its back. This is highly illegal, but still a common cheating method. It is more common in casinos that don’t have sophisticated technology. Modern casinos do have the capability to detect marked cards, so they see everything the cheaters see.
Applying this technology is very easy if you are able to physically touch the cards. But most modern casinos do not allow you to touch cards in games such as blackjack and poker. Still there are many inventive ways to get the ink on the cards. You could even use ink in a drink, put it in your mouth and sneeze it out.
Roulette cheating
Previously some players have colluded with dealers to replace the ball. The new ball has a magnet, and can be controlled with electronic equipment. The equipment may not make the ball and on a particular number. However, it can make the ball jump out of a pocket or area that does not favour the player. If done skilfully, the ball behaviour looks natural. It only needs to be done a few times using high stake bets, and the team can walk out with a fortune. I have been very few cases with this technology has been used.
A more common form of roulette cheating involve the use of electronic prediction devices. These are called roulette computers, and they predict the winning number based on the speed of the rotor and ball. However, whether or not they are illegal cheating depends on the jurisdiction they are used in. In some jurisdictions, they are highly illegal. But in other jurisdictions, they are perfectly legal although still prohibited by the casinos rules. Using a roulette computer can get you banned from a casino, but you won’t necessarily be charged by the police.
Another method for cheating at roulette is wheel gaffing. This is tampering with roulette wheel is to create physical imperfections. The result is a biased roulette wheel, where specific numbers or sectors spin more often than others. An example is to loosen the pocket separator of a particular pocket. At the time of tampering, only the individual who is responsible will know about it, and can exploit it before the casino detects the imperfection. The effect of the loose pocket separator is that the ball will hit it, and the momentum will be mostly absorbed. The ball then lands in a sector nearby. Such a strategy usually requires collusion with casino staff.
Dice Games
Any dice for a game like craps is very carefully manufactured. This is to prevent any bias in the outcome of roles. For example, any indents of the dots on a dice are uneven on particular sites. This would cause particular sides to roll out more than others. There is no significant bias in any dice used by casinos. But many players have discreetly swapped dice in games such as craps. A common technology is the use of magnets to make particular sides role on demand. Usually the technology is not perfect, meaning it will not work on every roll. However, the player only needs a slight advantage to profit in the long-term. This kind of scam is usually done in collusion with casino staff, but is not always the case.
There are countless other illegal cheating methods to win at the casino. The methods explained above, with the exception of the roulette computers, are illegal in all casinos throughout the world. The sole exception being casinos run on through ships, because they operate in international waters where there is no gaming law.
The Legal methods for beating casinos
Casino staff are well aware that their games are being beaten by professionals. Professional casino players are called an advantage players because they don’t specifically cheat, but they still get a legitimate advantage over the casino. In fact most casinos hire consultants to advise them about advantage players, and how to detect them. The measures taken by casinos to protect their revenue is called “casino game protection”. The best advantage play strategies for winning in the casino are explained below:
Card Counting: You’ve probably heard about this before. Basically in games like blackjack, you can track how often particular cards have appeared. This tells you which cards are remaining in the deck. You can therefore base decisions on this information to increase your chances of winning. The problem is modern casinos use sophisticated card shuffle machines. After each hand is played, the cards are returned to the shuffle machine. This makes any edge from card counting very small.
Card shuffle machine analysis: The card shuffle machines mentioned above do not produce entirely random shuffles. It is virtually impossible to produce any event that is entirely random. Careful analysis of the cards being dealt can reveal patterns from the shuffle machine. The most effective legal way to win at card games is with the combination of counting cards and shuffle analysis. The technology I’ve developed for this is explained at blackjackcomputers.com
Roulette physics systems: Roulette is often considered the most random casino game. But in fact it is by far the most predictable game, and easiest to beat. This is basically because designing a completely random roulette wheel is nearly impossible. In contrast, it is relatively easy for a player to predict where the ball will land, at least with enough accuracy to overcome the house edge. The house edge with European roulette is only -2.7%. So to overcome this, the player only needs slight accuracy in predicting the winning number.
Poker: This is a fun game to play with friends, and many people take it very seriously as an income source. Poker involves more playing other players than the casino. A professional poker player can do very well, without breaking any laws. But you are in competition with other skilled players, so the key is playing inexperienced players with money to lose.
So what’s the best way to consistently win?
It depends on what casino games are available at your casino, and which have the strongest weaknesses. If your casino uses old blackjack procedures, and poor shuffle machines, blackjack is a simple game to win at with card counting. But it takes a long time and you only get a very small edge. If your casino uses modern technology and procedures, then beating blackjack is a lot more complicated. You would need to utilise card counting in combination with shuffle analysis.
Poker is a good option, and widely accessible. But you are in competition with other professional poker players trying to take your money. The reality is if 10 professional poker players were playing against each other, their styles of play and techniques would be much the same. So who wins? The player with the best luck on the day. So while poker is certainly a game of skill, a lot still comes down to luck with the cards you’re dealt.
I have always found the overall best way to win at the casino is roulette. If you use a professional system or roulette computer. If you use a roulette system such as my cross-reference system, then no skill or luck is involved. Instead you use knowledge and a analysis to exploit patterns. If you use techniques such as visual ballistics or roulette computers, both skill and knowledge is involved. I’m not much of a fan of visual ballistics because a well-designed roulette computer can do a far better job. Roulette computers do require skill to use, but it is predominantly the design that leads to accurate predictions.
Roulette isn’t necessarily going to be the best system to win in your casino. But in most cases, it will be. Once you understand the pros and cons of each method to win in the casinos, you can select the best strategy for your casino.
This article discusses everything you need to know about buying your own professional Roulette wheel. If you don’t carefully consider the advice, you can end up buying a wheel that’s nothing like real wheels in today’s casinos, except that it “looks” much the same. Different wheels can produce very different spins.
The full size roulette wheel
The full size of a roulette wheel you would find in casinos is 80cm straight across the middle. This measures from the very outer parts. It is 32 inches.
The roulette wheel brands you can buy
The most common wheel designs are John Huxley, Cammegh and Abbiati. There are many other brands, but these are the most common. Unless you are using the wheel just for fun, don’t buy the cheap ABS plastic wheels you’ll find on Ebay. Buy one of the real designs and brands used in casinos.
Should you buy an older design?
You can still find wheels that are over a century old, but they are very different to modern wheels. I’m assuming you are looking for a wheel to practice your roulette system, or perhaps test a roulette computer. And you aren’t going to benefit by testing on a wheel that’s very different to what you’ll play against. I suggest purchasing a design that’s no more than 5 years old. Modern casinos still have wheels that are even 30 years old, but they are rare. They only exist today because most casinos regularly maintain their wheels. In fact many casinos have their own in-house wheel refurbishing service.
Should you buy any wheel design?
To any inexperienced player, all roulette wheels would look much the same. But on closer inspection, you will notice different metal deflectors (diamonds), types of pockets, different angles of particular components and so on. Seemingly subtle differences can make a roulette wheel easy to predict, or near impossible to predict. Things to look for include:
1. Size and shape of diamonds: these are the metal deflectors the ball usually hits. From a distance, the diamonds may appear to be the same on different wheels. But have a closer look. Smaller diamonds with irregular shapes tend to produce the most random spins. But it is actually the combination of other wheel features, and the diamonds, that determine the predictability of spins.
2. Height and shape of pocket separators: these are the pieces of metal between pockets. Some have straight edges, while some kind of the “V” shape, which is designed to deflect the ball in one of two directions. Also the shapes of the pockets themselves make a big difference to how the ball will bounce.
Every small part of modern roulette wheels is purposefully designed. Again have a very close look and try to understand what the ball will do at each point. You may begin to appreciate the effort taken to carefully design the wheels for maximum unpredictability. But you may also begin to understand what would inevitably make spins more predictable. Almost always, a particular feature is a double-edged sword, meaning it may make the spin less predictable in some cases, but more predictable in others.
Should you buy a used or ex-casino wheel?
Generally Roulette wheel manufacturers are not permitted to sell wheels to the public. There are exceptions if you know someone in the company, although it is sometimes even illegal to own a roulette wheel. But in most parts of the world, it is perfectly legal provided you don’t use it to run an illegal casino.
For most people, the only option to own a real casino wheel is to buy an ex- casino wheel.
There are a number of reasons why a casino will replace a particular wheel. Sometimes it becomes obsolete and replaced with a new model. Or perhaps it fails a roulette wheel bias test, and needs to be replaced because players are exploiting it. At least these are the two main reasons.
Your reason for purchasing the wheel will determine whether or not a particular wheel will be suitable. For example, if you want a wheel just to play with friends for fun, just about any wheel will do. If you want a wheel to test bias analysis, you will probably find that most used wheels do have a bias. But if you want to test the roulette computer, then it is okay for a wheel to have a bias because most roulette computers do not bother with assessment for bias. Wheel bias is a condition where particular winning numbers occur more frequently than others. Usually the edge you can get from a biased wheel is only a few percent, whereas the edge from a roulette computer can be well over 100%.
The main problem with buying a used roulette wheel
It is not a problem if a wheel has various bumps and dense around the edges. These are purely cosmetic and do not affect the operation of the wheel. The main problem with used roulette wheels is the ball track becomes worn and cracked. The ball track is made from a kind of epoxy resin. On all wheels, eventually it cracks and is very difficult to repair. The effect of this is the ball tends to fall off the ball track at particular points more than others. This leads to dominant diamonds, which is the condition where the ball hits particular diamonds more than others. And ultimately it makes the roulette spins much more predictable.
Just about every roulette wheel has dominant diamonds. However, on a very well maintained wheel in good condition, it occurs because the wheel is not placed on level surface. Even a 1 mm difference in height between sides of the roulette wheel will cause the dominant diamond effect.
This can be corrected by more accurately levelling the wheel, although it is very difficult even with precision equipment. This is why almost every roulette wheel has significant dominant diamonds. The difference is with a used wheel with a badly worn ball track cannot be corrected by more carefully levelling the wheel.
There is not much difference between a dominant diamond on a used wheel, and a dominant diamond on a brand-new wheel in perfect condition. But the significant difference is the ball will not roll smoothly on the used wheel’s ball track.
You will notice that on a new wheel, the ball rolls very smoothly and gradually decelerates. But on an older wheel, even in casinos today, the ball may be released very quickly only to suddenly decelerate. This is a sign of a worn ball track. Another way of knowing if the ball track is worn is the ball may not roll more than 12 revolutions before falling, if the ball track is worn.
Where can you buy real roulette wheels?
First I suggest contacting the wheel manufacturers and asking if they will sell you a new wheel. If they don’t, ask about used stock. Another option is eBay. Don’t be fooled by imitation wheels that look like the originals. There are many cheaper wheels that are manufactured in China, although they are considerably easier to beat than the wheels used in modern casinos.
Conclusion
Again consider what you intend to use the wheel for. If you are a professional player and testing a system, consider the system you are using. If you are using a roulette computer, then it is important that the ball track is in good condition. In fact a worn ball track can make roulette computer predictions less accurate. The ball may hit particular diamonds more than others, but the ball deceleration rate will be erratic and unpredictable. If you intend to test a roulette computer, then I advise a relatively new wheel with a ball track that is in good condition.
If you intend to test a system that involves predicting the winning number before ball release, then just about any real roulette wheel would usually be acceptable. The exception is if you’re method a prediction utilities physical defects, such as roulette wheel bias techniques do.
Learning how to increase your chances of winning roulette is not something you learn from the first website you find. Because of the popularity of online gambling, there are countless websites providing junk information and advice that exists only to promote casinos. The advice to help you win roulette here actually does increase your chances of winning. Bare with me though, because some of it may bore you. But unfortunately there’s parts you need to understand that will help you win.
The Basics of Playing roulette: The rules, odds and payouts
What are the chances of winning roulette? If you aren’t already familiar with the basics, start with the page about how to play roulette. Also see the types of roulette bets and related pages. But you are probably already familiar with this information.
But if you are still new to the game, you are probably unaware of why the casino consistently wins. Perhaps you think the casino wins because of the green pocket. And if you do, you probably only have a vague understanding. I don’t want to bore you, but the truth is not always popular. And to help you improve your chances of winning roulette, I must explain important facts.
Why the casino usually wins
The casino wins basically because they offer only fair payouts. The classic example is on the European wheel, there are 37 pockets. So if you bet on a single number, you have a one in 37 chance of winning. But the payout is 35 to 1. If you do the maths, you can see in the payout is unfair. Even when you win, you are still disadvantaged.
This unfair payout is known as the house edge. You can see the related pages about the maths. The house edge applies to any type of bets. There is not one specific type of bet better than another. Inexperienced players may tell you that outside bets such as red or black are safer than individual number bets. The fact is they are both subject to exactly the same house edge. The only difference is you can expect a win or frequently on a colour. See the article explaining the best bets on a roulette table for more detail.
What’s the Roulette Strategy With The Best Chance Of Winning?
If you understood the above information, you’d know there is a difference between winning on an individual spin, and profiting in the long-term. To summarise, any spin can win. But most roulette strategies eventually lose over the long-term. This is simply because they do not increase the accuracy of predictions. In fact most roulette strategies don’t even consider where the ball will land. They don’t even attempt to predict the winning number.
First let’s start with the roulette strategies that simply don’t work:
The martingale roulette system: The Martingale roulette system is basically doubling up bets after losses. So if you bet one unit on black and lose, your next bed will be two minutes on black. It’s one of the first roulette strategies applied by almost every new player, and it is well known to fail. There are countless variations that use similar it in progressions, but they don’t work. The only way to win in the long-term with the Martingale is to have a lot of luck.
The Fibonacci roulette system: this is another losing betting progression. It is not a system for bets selection or predicting the winning number. It does not consider the dealer, the wheel or the ball. Or any real physical variables of the wheel. The Fibonacci system is based on the Fibonacci sequence, where the next number in the sequence is the sum of the two previous numbers.
That the to popular systems above don’t even consider the winning number? They are staking plans, that control the size of bets. In a nutshell, the only way to increase your chances of winning roulette is by increasing the accuracy of predictions. This is the foundation of any winning gambling system.
More Tips to Win at Roulette
So far this article has only discussed why most roulette systems lose. Much more detail is at the page that explains how to win at roulette. The home page of this website lists the five best roulette systems. None of them use outside bets. The only winning systems use inside bets, such as individual numbers or neighbours. There are also combinations of split bets, which can also represent particular sectors of the wheel.
Perhaps you think the spins are random, but the fact is nothing is ever random. Everything happens because of real physical variables. This should be obvious, so the key to predicting the winning number is correlating the physical variables to the spin outcomes. The best and only way to do this is with the application of roulette physics.
If this is all new to you, you are going to need to do some research to understand the actual systems that work. You may be accustomed to simple Martingale system is where you increase bets either after losses. Systems involving roulette physics are much more complicated. Nevertheless, many professional players that win roulette exist in modern casinos. Like most things, learning how to beat roulette may initially appear to be difficult. But eventually it becomes second nature, and you find that consistently winning is not at all difficult. It’s more about finding suitable conditions where you can win, and applying the correct strategy.
Unfortunately not every wheel can be beaten. More specifically, I personally found that any wheel can be beaten in a home environment. But it may not be practical to beat in the real casino environment. This is because in a real casino, you cannot control the frequency of spins. A strategy that increases the chances of winning needs to be practical over a relatively few amount of spins.
Again the best roulette systems that work are explained at the home page of this website.
The James Bond Roulette Strategy starts with the bet shown below. There are a few variations of it, and one example is
$140 on even chance bet (colors, odds/evens, highs/lows)
$50 on 6 numbers (six line)
$10 on green zero
If you lose, you apply the Martingale roulette system where you double bets after losses.
Does This Roulette Strategy Work?
No, the James Bond roulette strategy does NOT work. And here’s why: The bet on 19-36 is covering half of the wheel. The addition of the numbers 13 to 18 makes it so 3/4 of the wheel is covered. The bet on 0 is supposed to be “insurance”.
The reality is James has made three completely independent bets. They have no correlation to each other, and they do not represent any specific wheel sector. There is nothing that makes this particular bet selection special.
If you need convincing that James had no idea about winning roulette, try making the bet over a statistically significant amount of spins. Try random number generator roulette, or a real physical wheel in a casino. Try our roulette simulator which simulates real wheel physics. To begin, use flat bets, which are bets of the same size. Then compare the win rate with what you expect from random accuracy. See the roulette bets page which explains the various expectations and odds of roulette.
You’ll find your win rate is no different to random.
Does the Martingale Betting Progression Help?
Any betting progression is simply different size bets on different spins. Nothing more. It’s the same case with the James Bond system. It is an illusion that increasing bet size can increase your chances of winning. It’s easy to believe because a big win can win back losses. The Martingale is no different. It’s the same case with the Fibonacci roulette system which uses the Fibonacci sequence or any betting progression.
For example, with the Martingale, say you bet 1 unit on red and lost. Your next bet would be 2 units. If you lost again, your next bet would be doubled to 4 units. Then 8 units, and 16 units and so on. The accuracy of red or black spinning next doesn’t change at all no matter what you bet, so why would you expect to win?
Maybe you think a win is due, or that it would eventually happen. but the fact is nothing in gambling is ever “due”. A simple test of this principle is check spin results where there may be 5 or so reds in a row. Then see how many times red or black spins next. You’ll find the odds are exactly the same as any other sequence of red and blacks. The odds do not change.
What Does Win at Roulette?
In the simplest terms, you can only win at roulette if you accurately predict the winning number. You need to predict where the ball will land. I know, duh, right? But systems like the James Bond roulette system don’t even attempt to predict the winning number. The bets have no logic with relation to the wheel wheel. The bets follow a logic on the betting table, which is a scattered representation of the real wheel. And what does the betting table have to do with the wheel? Nothing. Its’ just a place to make bets.
The majority of roulette systems do not consider the winning number. They are more betting systems that use progression bets such as the Martingale roulette system. Typical losing systems are merely varieties of the same principles known to fail. The James Bond system is no exception.
Speaking of James Bond, you may like the various gadgets uses. If technologies your kind of thing, and I suggest reading up about roulette computers. They are hidden electronic devices that predict where the ball will land. This is achieved by measuring the speed of the wheel and the ball.
This is another online casino offering the typical games. So what’s the best way to win at 32red casino? If you’ve read my other articles related to winning underline, you’d properly guess roulette. And generally this is the case, although specifically live roulette. But there have been cases where my players have exploited the bonuses provided by 32Red. Actually it was a combination of the affiliate program and bonuses, which reduced the casino’s edge to almost nothing. Then a strong progression bet was applied. There’s a bit more to it but it’s not something I can fully disclose. Eventually the casino caught up with them and closed the main loophole.
The Games Offered By 32Red Casino
Is there a best way to win at 32red casino? The name of 32 red is immediately familiar to roulette players. But they do offer many different casino games, most of which are basically slot machines. Even the majority of their roulette games are slot machines. If you think computer animations can be real roulette, you have lots learn about winning in casinos. A good start is how to win at roulette and although it’s about roulette, most of the principles still apply to other casino games at 32Red.
32Red predominantly uses the microgaming software platform. You can test it for free without signing up for an account. However, like with most software providers, you tend to win a lot more without real money. And when you deposit funds and start betting for real, your winning streak seems to disappear.
Unfortunately this kind of deception is so common that it’s almost at the point where you can expect any casino will try and mislead you this way. The licensing jurisdiction is in Gibraltar, which is fortunately not as bad as some. There appears to be a distinction that allows the casinos to make you win more in practice sessions, than you do when betting for real. Simply put, it is much easier to win $10,000 in a practice session than it is for real. The exception is if you are playing against live and real physical roulette wheel. But you cannot see the live wheels without signing up. After sign up, you can see the live wheels without making a deposit, but you can’t bet.
Can you win at 32Red Casino?
Yes, it is a common casino used by my roulette players. It has been around since approximately 2002, and has a reasonably good reputation of payouts. It has refused payouts in some instances, where the player has been clumsy in the application of a winning system. As a basic rule, just don’t give an obvious excuse for them to payout and you shouldn’t have problems. The system used to win at 32red was completely acceptable to the casinos rules, but many casinos tend to refuse payouts once it becomes blatantly obvious the player is a professional. It is not a hard rule because some players have won tens of thousands of dollars, and exhibited behavior that is very clearly clumsy. Perhaps it depends on which casino staff are reviewing the information, or maybe some days their job isn’t done as well. I won’t give away what I mean by clumsy, because there are still consistent winners at 32Red casino, and it’s important for them to avoid detection.
Other than a few payout refusals, the only problem with 32red casino is slower payment processing. There is the typical red tape involved with withdrawal of especially larger wins.
Can you Win at Their Other Games?
They have various sports games you can bet on. Sports betting is a popular way to win at 32Red casino, but it’s not the same as it was years ago. Winning at sports betting requires a lot of work for relatively little payout. Ultimately this is because the market is saturated. Explained in plain English, there are so many professional sports bettors that the potential income becomes diluted.
If you like gambling on your mobile phone, you will like their mobile phone app. But the games they provide on mobile phones are impossible to win out in the long-term. So you won’t find live roulette, where a real wheel is used. The mobile app is more designed for the classic gambler, whose idea of winning is doubling up bets after losses. This kind of approach is called the Martingale, and is well known to eventually lose. See the martingale roulette system – it is a betting system that applies to any gambling game. Not only roulette.
Besides live roulette, to win at 32Red casino, consider their poker. Real poker is about playing other players, not the casino itself. This is a bit like the tax man and the stock market. Stocks can go up and down in value, and is always a winner and loser. In the middle is the tax man that wins either way. The casino is much the same. In an online environment, it’s not so easy to play other players, because you cannot see their facial expressions or physical ticks that give them away. But you can get to know particular users, and understand their general strategies for playing the game. An experienced poker player can tell an experience player from a rookie. A simple example is a rookie tends to bluff too often.
Ultimately the best way to win at 32Red casino is the same as any other casino. That is live roulette, using a real physical roulette wheel. Roulette may not be suitable for everyone, because it requires a lot of patience and dedication, although the payouts are well worth it.
The best way to win at Redbet casino starts with understanding which games can and can’t be beaten. If you don’t use common sense, you may believe the first website you find. It may say you cannot beat online casinos like Redbet. Or it may tell you a very simple system will win. The truth is somewhere in the middle.
In a nutshell, yes you certainly can win at Redbet casino, but only with specific games. This article explains the details.
Can You Win at Redbet Slot Machines?
Absolutely not the best way to win at Redbet casino. Slot machines are basically computer games. The odds are fixed, and the game outcomes are completely random. By random, I mean there is no way to increase the accuracy of predictions. For example, the slot machine reels may look like they have a real physical presence. After all they turn and appear to roll. But they are no more relevant to winning than a random assortment of computer pixels. The only difference is our brains make sense of the computer animations used by casinos like Redbet.
You may have read websites where people claim to have a magical slot machine system. Historically, the only way any player has one with slots is by exploiting a flaw in the random number generators, or by using a cheating device. This was very old technology, and modern random generators do the job properly. I’m not aware of any way to beat modern day slot machines, with the only exceptions being cheating that can end you up in jail.
One example of slot machine cheating is the light wand. This is basically a miniature torch that is placed in the slot machines payout slot. The light blinds the counting mechanism that counts the coins as they come out. As the mechanism cannot accurately count the coins, they continue to flow out without end. People have gone to jail for such cheating. Modern day slot machines do not have this weakness, so light wands no longer work.
Of course at an online casino like Redbet, winning with a light wand wouldn’t be possible anyway, because you don’t physically have access to the machine. Even if you could, the best way to win at Redbet casino still wouldn’t be slot machines.
What’s the Best Table Game to Win at On RedBet Casino?
First what do you really consider to be a table game? You probably think games like roulette or blackjack. But if you click the table game link on redbet’s website, you will eventually get to a game like roulette. But it isn’t on a real roulette wheel – it is a software computer game. Don’t mistake this for roulette because it is nothing like the real game. It is exactly the same thing as any slot machine.
If you test your roulette system on the free game provided, you may find yourself winning an uncanny amount. This may give you a false sense of security that your roulette system works at redbet casino. The actual software isn’t provided by Redbet – it’s provided by companies such as Netent.
Now if you start betting at their free roulette game, your bankroll will continue to grow. Is it just luck, or that you have a winning system? Unfortunately the free gambling games provided by online casinos are often designed to let the player win. The idea is to convince you that betting for real money will be no different. But when you start playing with real money, the real odds take effect and the chances are you will lose.
Redbet generally has a pretty good reputation as an online casino. But I have seen enough to reasonably believe that their software cheats. I’m specifically talking about the free games they provide, which are designed for players that haven’t yet signed up. They tend to allow players to win more than they would with real money.
How can this be legal? Well the jurisdiction of the casino has a lot to do with it. Casinos that are run from small island countries tend to have very loose and unfair gaming laws. This allows them to use common the deceptive practices.
So What’s the Best Way To Win at Redbet Casino?
Basically their live roulette, which uses real-time roulette video feed from other companies. Whether or not they use deceptive practices is another matter. It is not specifically the casinos that are being unfair, it is their software providers like Netent.
If you can see the live wheel footage, then generally it can be trusted to produce fair game outcomes. But whether or not a casino will actually award payouts is another matter. There have been casinos where the software inexplicably crashes on big wins, which results in the player not being paid for wins.
There have been instances where Redbet have refused payouts of my players, although it occurs far less frequently than with other casinos. For example, William Hill (see how to win at william hill casino) is one of the worst offenders for payout refusal. For now at least, Redbet has a reasonable trust level to play roulette professionally, although you still need multiple accounts to avoid detection. This is because if an online casino suspects you professional play, they may simply ban your account for any reason they find possible. But an online casino that is honest, won’t refuse your payout. Instead they will just discreetly make whatever changes they need to prevent you winning. This can make an inexperienced player lose, but not the more experienced players. In some cases, the only option a casino like Redbet has to limit your winnings, is to close your account. If it is specifically with roulette, they can instruct the software providers to make changes such as replacing the wheel.
In my experience with online roulette casinos, they tend to be aware of professional players, and they apply countermeasures to make winning more difficult. They are still aware that professional players still slip through undetected and win. But the damage to the casinos is minimal and most players continue to lose. After all, what’s a few thousand dollars to casinos when they make hundreds of thousands?
This article discusses the best way to win at 888.com casino. Spoiler alert: it’s the cross reference system at http://www.roulettephysics.com/cross-referencing/. Contrary to what most players think, casinos can be beaten at their own games. In fact casinos spend millions to prevent consistent winners. You might think if a casino is could be beaten, why do they exist at all. The simple answer is most players lose, and only a few consistently win. But they’re only specific games that can be beaten, and 888 casino is no exception.
Which 888 Casino Games Can Be Beaten
It would be great if all casinos games could be beaten. When I first got into gambling, I attempted to beat all kinds of games including the slot machines. Unfortunately slot machine simply cannot be beaten. The simple reason comes down to you cannot predict the outcomes of spins. In particularly with slot machines, the outcomes of the reels are fixed, and there is no way to predict them. Therefore, you cannot increase the accuracy of predictions. And ultimately this means there is no way to increase your chances of winning.
There is an exception when it comes to slot machines. If the slot machine either has a real physical reels, or at least a digital representation of real physical reels, the slots can be beaten. This is because the appearance of particular icons on the reel can be tracked. It is similar to card counting, where you might notice particular cards haven’t appeared for some time. If you monitor the expected time of appearance, and bet when they are expected, you can increase your chances of winning at slots.
But modern day slot machines are very different, and they are no different to a computer game. They do not simulate real slot machine reels, and waiting for particular icons to appear simply doesn’t work. The slot machines are 888 casino like this. The best way to win a 888 casino is not with the slot machines.
The Best Games To Win at 888 Casino
Essentially the live games are the best way to win at 888 casino. The two best being blackjack and roulette. Starting with blackjack, you may have heard of card counting techniques. These involve tracking the cards that have been dealt in previous hands. And by knowing the previously dealt cards, you can know which cards are remaining in the deck. At least this is how professional players won at 888 casino. Unfortunately you technology now better randomises the shuffling of cards. Almost every modern casino now uses this technology. However, the card shuffling machines themselves do not produce truly random shuffles. So a combination of card counting and shuffle analysis can increase your chances of winning.
The very best game to win at 888 casino is live roulette. If you believe the majority of information throughout the Internet, you would think that roulette is unbeatable. Unfortunately most roulette articles are written by people with no experience. The fact is roulette is by far the most predictable casino game in modern casinos. This is because the roulette wheel is a mechanical device with fixed physical properties. And fixed physical properties make the game predictable to a degree. You cannot win on every spin, but you can win enough spins to overcome the house edge.
The Best Winning Strategies for 888 Roulette
Not always is a simple roulette system going to beat 888 casino. What I mean by simple, is a betting strategy like the Martingale where you simply doubling your bet after losses. This doesn’t work, and neither does of the roulette systems like the Fibonacci system.
The only method that beat roulette attempt to predict where the ball will land. In a nutshell, this means the application of roulette physics. It may sound difficult, but the principles and physics of roulette wheels is actually quite simple. You can learn many techniques for beating live online roulette, including at 888 casino, at this website.
Avoiding Detection To Keep Winnings
The principles for winning at this casino are different to other casinos, with one exception. At online casinos, it is very easy for the casino staff to track your winnings and losses. They can also see every bet you make. This means the application of professional roulette systems is easier for them to detect. But the casino staff need to have enough data to analyse. It is easy to avoid detection by spreading winnings across multiple accounts. For this reason, online casinos for bid the use of multiple accounts. It is quite easy to bypass is restriction, although this is beyond the scope of this article.
Further Advice About Winning at Roulette
First learn how to play roulette including the types of roulette bets – it’s an easy game to learn. Many roulette tips websites will advise you about various methods to increase your chance of winning. If the website advises you to make outside bets, unfortunately such strategies simply don’t work. There are only a few methods that really beat roulette, including 888 casino, and they involve only inside bets.
So avoid any outside bets including the columns, colours, odds or evens, and so on. The only true winning bets are based on neighbours, which are sectors of numbers that are physically to each other on the roulette wheel. This is basically because the only method that do work involve predicting sectors of where the ball will land.
For more details about advanced methods to win, see the page explaining how to win at roulette.
So you want to know how to win at William Hill casino? Ok, if you haven’t already deposited your money, don’t do it. I get more complaints about William Hill than any other casino. The complaints are mostly for plain payout refusal. Many players have won with the cross reference system (best winning roulette system) only to be told by William Hill they wont be paid winnings.
Is there a way to win at William Hill Casino?
Yes, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Pun intended. I’m not saying William Hill are the worst, because there are many other casinos that do far worse to players, and more frequently. But if you think a large and publicly traded company is going to be honest, think again. William Hill, you can try suing me for saying this but it is a fact I receive more complaints about you than about any online casinos. And for reasons that clearly aren’t justified.
Some of the reasons for payout refusal include:
The player has a test account they created some time ago and forgot about. They never even deposited a dime. The terms of service forbid multiple accounts. If you are using a second account, that’s an excuse to not pay your legitimate wins.
Suspected collusion with other players: That’s right. Apparently they claim you can “collude” with other roulette players to somehow cheat them. Actually you can’t, but that’s just another of their excuses.
Suspicious behavior that appears to be a breach of the terms. They only need to suspect you of doing something against their terms, and they’ll lock your accounts. they’ll take your winnings and your entire deposit.
Is it just me, or does this seem like it’s impossible to win at William Hill casino? Really I’m not exaggerating, and it reminds me of a particular phrase: never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal. In layman’s terms, legal doesn’t mean moral.
Another trick is when they see you are winning consistently with roulette, they’ll ban you from playing live roulette. You are free to play all the other games, like RNG software roulette, which are guaranteed to lose. So you are forced to play only games you cannot win. If you try and take out your funds, you’ll get the big “access denied”. They wont let you do it because when you joined, you probably didn’t notice the wagering requirement. This is that you must bet a certain amount before you can process any withdrawal.
The Best Way To Profit at William Hill
Play elsewhere. If you are thinking they are reputable because they’re a big name, forget it. They know you don’t have the resources to take them on in court, and they’ll probably win anyway because you agreed to their terms of service, right? The fact is there are various trading standards, but things are very different when it comes to gambling services. A judge probably wouldn’t understand it, and the default and easier option would probably be for the judge to let the big guys win.
If you wanted to win at William Hill, probably the best way is not to bother with live roulette. That’s the complete opposite of what I’d normally say. Because they know live roulette can be beaten, and they’ll look for any excuse to avoid paying you winnings. But if you play a typical game they know you can’t beat in the long term, your winnings will be considered luck. And they’ll want you to stick around and continue playing, so you can lose, and they can recover their money.
The problem with this William Hill strategy are in the long term, you are guaranteed to lose. But if you already have money in a account with them, they aren’t going to let you take winnings if you won it with advantage play techniques. Another problem is they will still refuse payout if they find a valid excuse.
I assume that before they award any payout, they run a series of checks to see if you have tripped any of their red flags. It doesn’t matter how minor the problem is, but give them an excuse, and they won’t payout. I’m not saying they can’t have their various rules. For example, if the law legitimately state that they have the right to refuse payouts if there is solid proof of lawbreaking, then this is okay. But the problem is they seem to refuse payouts based on suspicion alone. Do you really want to risk money in the casino with this kind of track record?
What to do if you already have money in William Hill?
First try to withdraw it. If they refuse because of some kind of term, then try to fulfill the requirements. Do not even bother to beat any of their casino games with legitimate techniques. All your hard work and time may be for nothing. Before playing in any casino, make sure the casino has a good reputation. And I assure you, if you do proper research on William Hill, you’ll find I’m giving accurate advice.
On a final note, about once a month, a representative from William Hill contacts me asking to join their affiliate program – it’s a different person each time. Who knows how many representatives they have. They offer generous commissions on players that lose, if I promote their casino. Effectively this is like me owning part of the casino. I will never, never promote a dishonest casino.
Although there are many suitable casinos for professional play, off-line and online, I usually only recommend a few because of their good reputation. And by good reputation I mean never refusing payouts to hard-working professional players. We professional players beat the casino fair and square.
Genting is mostly know as a Malaysian casino, although they have an online casino that allows players from all over the world. I’ve never personally been to Genting but have many players there, so am familiar with the conditions. This article explains the best way for how to win at Genting casino, either in the real casino or online. Ultimately it comes down to the system explained at http://www.roulettephysics.com/cross-referencing/ which is legal everywhere.
The Genting group runs the casino, and they are actually based in the UK. They began as a land based casino, otherwise known as a brick and mortar casino. It wasn’t until recently they turned their attention to internet gambling. After all, there is no limit to the amount of players you can fit at a virtual roulette table because there’s no limit on space.
How To Win at Genting Casino
Genting in Malaysia is like a resort. It’s an entire entertainment complex and has everything from accommodation to dining, and of course the casino. Like any big entertainment complex, they neglect to state gambling often destroys lives. It creates many problem gamblers, and in my view should be universally illegal. It may sound strange coming from me, who would appear to advocate gambling. But I never considered playing roulette or any casino game to be “gambling”. I always saw it as a potential source of income.
Specifically it started for me at Crown casino in Australia, and like most people I wanted to earn easy money. While studying applied physics at RMIT university, I would more often ditch classes to attend the casino. But still it was some time later that I actually knew how to beat casinos. Perhaps I’ll explain more about that another time.
To win at Genting casino in Malaysia, I suggest focus on their automated roulette wheels. Why roulette at all? Because you can achieve a much higher edge in roulette than any other came. If you need proof, try the public demonstration video at roulette-computers.com where a 120% edge is archived.
You can play at the normal roulette tables in Genting, but then you wont have the comfort of your own touch bet screen.
However, usually the normal roulette wheels with live dealers are easier to win at. It’s not always the case though because over the years, there have been many very easy auto roulette wheels to win on at Genting. The biggest problem with the live dealer wheels is the tables can get very busy, and the time between spins gets to ridiculous levels.
Summary: Best Way To Win in Genting
The best way to win is without a doubt the roulette computers. But we are unsure of the legalities there. Some players claim it’s legal, while others say it is not. You need to do your own legal research to find out for yourself. Last I checked, it did appear legal although there are potential laws a casino may use to prosecute players. Generally if there are questionable legalities, don’t play.
Instead I suggest the cross reference roulette system which is legal everywhere. But remember it’s not a system that will win in Genting 100% of the time. Every wheel is different and sometimes you get very easily beaten wheels, and sometimes they are very difficult. As I tend to repeat, the biggest factor with winning any casino game is time. If you have the time and patience, it’s actually quite easy to win. The next factor is avoiding detection by casino staff, because they wont allow you to continue winning if they notice your consistent wins.
How to Win Online
The online Genting casino has wheels from various roulette wheel footage suppliers, that really have nothing to do with Genting casino itself. Many online casinos use outsourced roulette live feeds with the betting software. An example is Immersive roulette, and many casinos use the exact same video feed and betting software. So if we consider just winning Immersive roulette, it’s more a matter of regularly analyzing the wheels to find out which is best at the time. Again sometimes the wheels are easily beaten, and sometimes you’ll struggle to profit. The idea is to play only when conditions are good.
Things are generally easier in real casinos because you have a much wider selection of wheels. Even my local casino has around 30 wheels so there are always bound to be profitable wheels to play on. But if you restrict your play to only one casino online, then it’s not something you can rely on for a steady income. That is unless you only play a few times a year, and with very high stakes. In which case you can do very well i very little time. The only downside is with bigger wins, you are bound to end up on a casino database. This is so casinos like Genting can identify professional players before they win too much. But generally avoiding detection is still very easy for professional players. Some casinos use automated facial recognition equipment, but it is a long way of being accurate and produces too many false positives.
How to win at Celtic casino can be summarized at http://www.roulettephysics.com/cross-referencing/ which is for the JAA roulette system. Celtic casino is one of the few online casinos dedicated to live casino games. Just about any live game can be beaten one way or another, at least in my experience. I find it is more a matter of time. For example, you can increase the odds of winning at Celtic casino with blackjack. But because of modern technology, namely shuffle machines, it takes a lot of effort to get only a small increase in edge. A far better option explaining how to win at Celtic casino is explained here.
But before I continue with the best way to win, I’ll explain a blackjack cheating device I developed. Almost everyone knows about card counting, and that it does legitimately work. But again modern technology dramatically reduces the edge. The shuffle machines for the cards make card counting sometimes near impossible. At best you can only slightly improve the odds for you, but not enough to overcome the house edge.
Luckily the shuffle machines don’t fully randomise the order of the cards. So if you had a deck of cards with the sequential number, and put them into the shuffle machine, the initial shuffle may appear random. But if you repeat the process, you can see that there are patterns. If the same kind of principle that happens with methods that minute roulette. And that is that when the physical properties of any object are the same, it is inevitable that patterns will occur. In this case, it is the algorithms used by the software, and the moving parts that come into contact with the cards. More about my blackjack device is at blackjackcomputers.com, although I since abandoned development because there are much better ways to beat the casino. Besides I since developed technology to see through cards, but I’ll explain it another time. Briefly I’ll say it works very well, but has limitations so I prefer using the roulette computers. I could develop it further but the computers already work well enough.
What’s the Best Way To Win in Celtic Casino?
In one word, roulette. Most people believe the roulette is the most difficult game to beat, because the ball similarly bounces randomly. The fact is you can achieve an edge higher in roulette than any other casino game.
Back when card counting was very common with professional players, they got excited about a 2% edge. After all the 2% edge is not far off the casinos house edge of 2.7% on roulette. But such a small edge is enough to make the casino millions. In contrast, and edge of 80% or more is routinely achieved by roulette computer players.
Yes, but understand Roulette wheels come and go all the time. Sometimes there will be easily beaten wheels, and sometimes they are near impossible to beat. Even with my own roulette wheel, which is a modern John Huxley wheel, sometimes it can be very easy to beat. Other times can be near impossible. Why? Because each time you set down the wheel, it needs to be levelled. This means to make sure the wheel is a perfectly flat surface. To be technical, is actually the ball track that needs to be flat or levelled.
On a different day if I rotated the wheel is a 45°, this means that specific parts of the ball track may be marginally higher than others. The result is the ball will fall at particular parts of the ball track more often than others. This is commonly referred to as dominant diamonds. More is explained on the homepage of roulettephysics.com. Almost every roulette wheel as dominant diamonds, including the roulette wheels at Celtic casino.
But to get all technical, but the combination of the new dominant balls fall off point, with very subtle differences along the ball track, makes the ball fall a different way. To make this simpler, it means that a wheel can be fantastic and easy to beat on one day, but very difficult on another.
If you understand what I mean, you might ask why doesn’t casino staff do is rotate the wheels each day. They don’t firstly because they would need to then recalibrate the wheel, and it can take some time to do properly. If it is rushed, the wheel can be more easily beaten. So usually a casino will carefully recalibrated wheel perhaps once each month. They used such precision equipment that if the same wheel is moved to another part of the casino, they may think that the moving has changed the wheels patterns. But in fact all they have done is made the same conditions for the same wheel, but in a different part of the casino.
Advice from casino consultants
The average casino consultant would advise casinos to regularly move their wheels. But to a professional player, it makes little difference, other than it being a bit of an inconvenience because they need to run some tests to determine where the wheel has moved to.
Hypothetically the casino could rotate the wheel every day, and this would make a clumsy player lose. I’m referring to a clumsy professional player, instead of an attentive professional player. But realistically this will cause a worse problem for casinos, because sometimes the dominant diamond will be far too strong, and by then an attentive player will have won a fortune.
Conclusion
As with any online casino, the best way to win at Celtic casino is with the application of a professional roulette system. But don’t always expect the wheel is to be beatable. Sometimes they will be very easy to beat, and other times more difficult. It is important to understand quick and easy methods to assess wheels, so you know when is the best time to play and win. Again the same rules apply to any casino, not just Celtic casino.
The best way to win at 10bet casino (10 bet) is the same as any other casino. I suggest heading straight to the live casino link, and specifically live roulette. I’m not promoting this casino in particularly, but it’s one of the common casinos played at by my players. The two best options for winning are either the roulette computers, or the roulette system explained at http://www.roulettephysics.com/how-to-win-at-roulette/ – However, only the Uber and Hybrid versions can beat online casinos.
The only problem is online casinos tend to react very quickly to roulette computer players. There have been numerous online casinos that have suffered huge losses by roulette computer teams. The result is the casino starts calling no more bets much earlier, sometimes even before the ball is released. This means the computers can’t predict the winning number in time for the player to bet. Real casinos are very different and very slow to react, perhaps because they can physically see all players. It is very rare for a casino to even suspect a player of using a roulette computer. This is mostly because the ignorance, and poorly trained staff. Unfortunately the online casinos are a lot more paranoid.
If you intend to win at 10bet casino, I suggest that JAA system explained at http://www.roulettephysics.com/cross-referencing/ because it allows you to get predictions before the ball is released.
About 10bet Casino
10bet casino is the typical online casino offering a variety of games. It has a reasonably good reputation, although for most players I would recommend another casino which is at the link explaining best live roulette casinos.
Despite its good reputation, it does have some unresolved disputes and history of payout refusal. It resolves approximately 80% of disputes, which is above average for most casinos online.
The average response time is approximately two days, and you can contact them by email. The typical complaint lasts approximately six days before it is resolved. And the average dispute amount is approximately US$1500.
A recap: The best way to win at 10Bet casino
In my experience, there is almost always a way to beat real casino games. Looking at specifically the possible edge, nothing beats roulette. Even a very skilled blackjack player may achieve only a 2 to 3% edge, whereas a relatively unskilled roulette player can achieve a 10% edge.
The Martingale is a money management roulette strategy, which can be applied to any gambling game, including roulette. It is not a system, and it doesn’t even consider what really matters in roulette. I’m talking about the winning number itself. If you want to know the roulette systems that really work, visit my page about how to win roulette. But there is one exception where the Martingale can actually increase the amount you win in the casino. I’ll explain this further down this page.
What is the Martingale roulette system?
Simply put, the Martingale is doubling bets after losing. For example, you might start by betting one unit on black. You are giving no consideration to where the ball might land, other than you are hoping for it to land on the black numbers. Now if you lose, your next bet will be two units on black. If you lose again, the next bet will be four units on black. So after losses, the betting pattern will be 1,2,4,8,16,32,64 units.
A great way to quickly blow your bankroll
You can see that after only a few losses, the size of your bets are enormous. So the Martingale system is a great way to blow your bankroll in spectacular fashion. With the rapidly increasing bet size, you are bound to reach the maximum table bet size very quickly. The table betting limit exists to prevent the casino falling victim to a very lucky wealthy player. There are players that allow very large bets, although they are closely monitored and still have their own limits.
Would the Martingale system work if there were no betting limits?
If there were no betting limits, you would likely run out of bankroll because your bets become so large. But let’s say you had an unlimited bankroll, and there were no table limits. The result of this is that eventually yes, you would win. The thing about the Martingale is a bad losing streak wipes out your bankroll. But if you had an unlimited bankroll, you would be wiped out and you could keep increasing your bet size. Of course they will still be the rare event that takes a large chunk of your bankroll, but you would simply counter that with an even larger bet on the next spin.
But back to reality here. You don’t have an unlimited bankroll, and every table has a maximum bet. The minimum and maximum bets often vary considerably between inside and outside bets. For example, in Europe I’ve seen tables that have a maximum bet of €50,000 for the outside such as reds, blacks, odds and evens etc. But the maximum bet for inside numbers was only €500. This is for many reasons, but basically the only bets capable of winning consistently without luck, are inside bets. This is because only they can represent specific sectors of the wheel. The roulette systems that work all involve predicting areas around the wheel, where the ball will fall.
Was the best Martingale betting strategy?
There is only one circumstance where the Martingale roulette system can be useful. This is when you already have a strong edge over the casino, and can accurately predict where the ball will land. An example is a roulette computer, where you can almost guarantee a win every second spin. Sometimes accuracy can be even higher. If you look at my other demonstration of a roulette computer, you can see I win on 93% of spins. I don’t think there was more than one loss in a row.
In such a case, you could very easily apply the Martingale system. It doesn’t actually improve your chances of winning, but in this case it increases the amount you are likely to profit in a specific time. You need to understand there is a difference between edge, and profit per hour. This is something that may only be understood by professional players.
However, the Martingale is a very aggressive roulette strategy. Even in cases where you can win on almost every spin, I wouldn’t apply it. One example is betting on red or black. The chances of winning are approximately one in two. It means an average, if you bet red, you will win approximately half the time. But have you ever seen 10 reds or 10 blacks in a row? It may be rare, but not rare enough so that you never see it. Even five in a row is bad enough to cause a large loss.
The Illusion of Increasing Bet Size to Win Back Losses
One of the most seemingly obvious ways to win back losses is to increase bets sizes. If you are just starting out playing roulette, the chances are this is how you are trying to profit. You may not even know you are applying the Martingale system, or that you’re supposed winning system has a name.
When I didn’t fully understand the facts about winning roulette, I myself was applying the Martingale. It took me some time to get over that illusion of thinking increasing bet sizes helps. After all it does sound logical.
But one way to understand it is to keep in mind that every spin on roulette is independent. Even after 10 or 100 reds in a row, the odds of red and black spin next haven’t changed. They are still approximately 50-50. So what will changing bet size do? All it does is increase the amount you wager and risk on the betting table.
Putting it into context imagine three different players. The first player makes a one unit bet on red, and loses.
The second player makes a two unit bet on red, then loses.
The third player makes a bet of four units, then loses.
This would be no different from a single player making the same bets. The roulette wheel and the casino doesn’t care who was making bets. There is nothing ever due to happen, and proof of this is checking the frequency of red or black spinning. Again an example is after 10 read spinning in a row, the odds of red or black spinning next haven’t changed at all.
Why The Martingale Fails
The martingale fails because it doesn’t change the player’s odds of winning. For example, if it was applied when betting red in roulette, the odds of winning are 18/37 (0.4865), but the payout is only 1 to 1. And if the size of the bet is varied, as it is in the martingale, the odds don’t change. So the payout is always less than the odds. Putting it another way, if the progression was 1,2,4,8, then it wouldn’t matter if one player made all the bets by themselves, or four different players made the bets. Each bet is different and with the same odds of winning.
How to win roulette in Las Vegas is essentially the same for anywhere in the world. The best winning roulette systems are listed on this website. This article discusses information specific to Las Vegas.
More players ask me about winning in Las Vegas than any other region. After all it is the most popular region for all things gambling. This article will discuss the recommended methods and approaches for winning roulette. They apply to both professional and beginner players.
Best Way To Win Roulette In Las Vegas
The best way to win almost any roulette is with the use of a roulette computer. These are electronic cheating devices that predict where the ball will land. But the problem is they are highly illegal in Las Vegas. After all the entire region relies on the profitability of gambling games for the casinos. So they take professional roulette computer teams very seriously, and using roulette computers can put you in jail for a long time. It’s a very different story in other parts of the world where roulette computers are completely legal. No casino will allow them, but it doesn’t mean you are breaking any laws by using them. So the worst the casino can do is ban you, although still it is easy enough to sneak in again. Even in casinos that require identification, you can easily use a different name because casinos do not usually have access to databases that specify name changes.
There are other very good methods to win roulette in Las Vegas, which are completely legal, although I will explain them later in the article.
Where are Roulette Computers Legal?
If you pick a random jurisdiction throughout the world, there’s about a 50% chance that the computers will be legal there. The most common jurisdictions for legal roulette computer use are in Europe. However, there are several surrounding regions which are close to Las Vegas, where the roulette computers are legal. It is relatively easy to determine if they are legal, although this won’t be discussed in this article.
Is Vegas Roulette Different To Other Regions?
The roulette wheel is used in Las Vegas are no different to anywhere else in the world, other than the fact that they use the American 00 wheel format. So instead of just a single green zero, there are two green pockets.
The house edge is also much greater for the American roulette wheel. An example is the payout for an individual number win is 35 to 1. On the European wheel, there are 37 pockets including zero. But on the American 00 wheel, there are 38 pockets which include the single and 00. The house edge of the European wheel is -2.7%, but the edge of the American 00 wheel is 5.26%.
The manufacturers of roulette wheels are the same pretty much wherever you go throughout the world. The most common wheels are made by John Huxley and Cammegh. There are a few other manufacturers, but at least these are the main ones. So wherever you go, including Las Vegas, roulette is going to be much the same.
From my personal experience with roulette in Las Vegas, there are just some minor procedure differences. And they do vary between casinos. For example, most casinos throughout the world predictably alternate the direction of the wheel, known as the rotor. But in Vegas, the rotor may spin for one direction for a few hours, and then the other direction for another few hours. This is done in attempt to make professional roulette systems less effective, but it actually makes winning easier. This is because it takes less time to analyse data.
The Rules of Roulette in Las Vegas
You can learn the basic rules of roulette, which includes a bets, odds, and payouts. It also explains some of the basic rules. But if you are looking for something more advanced, see the page that explains how to win at roulette. It explains single facts about how roulette can and can’t be beaten.
Avoiding roulette systems that lose
It is believed that more systems have been devised for roulette, than any other casino game. And just about every system loses for the same reasons.
Probably the most common roulette betting strategy in Las Vegas is called the Martingale. This is where the player doubles their bet on the next spin after losing. The reason this doesn’t work is simple. The strategy doesn’t even consider where the ball will land. The player is so focused on winning back the losses, they forget to consider what really matters.
A simple example is the player betting on the first dozen. They may lose their first bet, then double their bet on the next spin. If they win, they get back their losses and earn a profit. But if they lose, then they’ve just compounded their losses. The fatal flaw with the Martingale strategy is that it does not at all increase the accuracy of predictions. In this case, the odds of one dozen spinning next is no different to that in previous spins, or future spins. The of simply don’t change, and the variation of bet sizes dozen at all help the player. It is probably the most common gambler’s fallacy.
On a final note, the truth is not always popular. The only systems that really beat roulette are much more difficult to apply than the typical roulette system. Most systems can be learnt and applied in a matter of minutes. The casinos love players that use these systems, because they are guaranteed to lose. Unfortunately most websites that provide roulette betting tips do not even consider the accuracy of information. Such websites exist mostly to sell advertising and promote online casinos.
When I first started playing roulette, I wasn’t interested in anything that sounded complicated, such as physics. I was always looking for the easiest way to win at roulette. I eventually found that I needed to let go of looking for the simple way, and dig a little deeper. Ultimately I came to understand why most systems fail, and that the only way of beating roulette is by increasing the accuracy of predictions. The only method of doing this is with the application of physics. It is the same case in Las Vegas, or anywhere else in the world.
If you aren’t looking to make a fortune playing roulette professionally, and then there are plenty of systems to play. Keep in mind they probably won’t win in the long-term, and rely heavily on luck.
It is very common for a player to have a particular roulette system, and win over even thousands of spins. This player may be convinced that they have a winning system. But there may be dozens of other players using the exact same system, but they have lost. The overall effect of this is that the player that has won money gives hope to other players. There are always going to be winning players, even those who use losing systems. But over the long-term, most systems lose.
A Fibonacci Roulette System is any system that uses the Fibonacci sequence. The sequence is a string of numbers, where the next number in the sequence is the sum of the last two. For example, the first number is 1, and it evolves as: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 etc. But does the Fibonacci system work? First let’s have a closer look at what the Fibonacci sequence actually is.
The Origin of The Fibonacci Roulette System
The sequence comes from patterns found in nature. Gamblers use the Fibonacci sequence in their systems because they assume nature has the answer to beat roulette. They’re right in a sense, but they don’t understand what the Fibonacci sequence really is, so they use it the wrong way. Consequently their system loses.
Shown here is a graphical representation of the sequence. The proportion of the length of each rectangle corresponds to the golden ratio (1.618). This ratio or number is secret in ancient civilizations. Exactly why is beyond the scope of this article, and the relationship to nature is quite complicated, yet at the time elegant simplicity considering our universe is built on the principle.
One thing you can easily see is the red spiral. You see this spiral everywhere in nature; from the shell of the snail, to the spiral in flowers. You can also see the golden ratio everywhere in nature – even in the proportions of every part of our bodies. A simple example if the lengths of bone between knuckles in our fingers.
Ok so now you have at least a vague understanding of the sequence.
How Does the Fibonacci Relate To Gambling?
The truth is everything relates to the golden ratio and fibonacci in some way. Once you better understand it, you see that physical reality can’t exist without it. But that’s like saying 1 plus 1 wouldn’t equal 2 without mathematics. Perhaps let’s not get philosophical here. The important part to understand is Fibonacci roulette systems are nothing more than betting progression systems. They do not at all increase the accuracy of predictions, so they only vary the size of bets on each spin.
Example Of Fibonacci System
The sequence can be used in many different ways, but the most common is a betting progression like below:
The player bets 1 unit on red, but loses.
The next bet is 1 unit again, and the player loses
The next bet is 2 units, and the player loses
The next bet is 3 units, and the player loses
The next bet is 5 units, and the player wins.
From point 5, the player can either go back to step 4, or back to step 1.
Does The Strategy Actually Work?
No. In the example above, the player is simple betting different amounts on completely independent spins. The odds of red and black spinning next are exactly the same at each point. There is not even an effort to consider why red would spin more frequently than black, which is a common fault of roulette strategies.
There is an exception where a Fibonacci betting sequence would actually help the player profit more in less time, as explained below:
The Only System Where a Fibonacci Roulette Strategy Works
Advantage play roulette strategies like roulette computers or roulette wheel bias analysis scientifically predict where the ball will fall. Such approaches are the only ones that work, and they give the edge back to the player. A typical edge can be as high as 90% or more for a roulette computer. In such cases, the player will profit even if their bet size was the same on each spin. But it’s possible to still have losing streaks, where the player may not win for perhaps 5 spins in a row. There is no way to avoid losing streaks because you can never perfectly predict the winning number.
If the Fibonacci betting system was applied in such a cases, the player has a strong edge and is almost guaranteed to win in the next few spins. This means the bet size can safely be increased, and more can be won in less time.
The betting strategy doesn’t necessarily need to be the Fibonacci sequence. It could just as easily be the Martingale where bet size is doubled after each loss. But it is wiser to use a less aggressive progression because if your strategy is too aggressive, you can lose a lot in a short time all because of uncanny bad luck. The Martingale bet sequence is 1,2,4,8,16,32 and you can see the size of bets quickly spiral out of control. A milder progression (bet size after losses) may be 1,2,3,4,5,6 and so on.
Should You Use The Fibonacci Sequence In Roulette?
There is no reason why the Fibonacci sequence is any better then another betting progression. You simply increase bets after losses, but does not change the odds of winning at all. Even the circumstances I explained with advantage play, doesn’t actually change odds of winning. This simply increases the amount you win in a specific time period, but this is only you have an advantage to begin with. Some players who swear by the Fibonacci sequence really have no understanding of how to really win at roulette. There are many systems for sale they use the Fibonacci sequence, and the sales material touts the system uses patterns from nature. Certainly a lot can be learned from nature, and in fact my own systems use principles that are discovered in nature, but it has nothing to do with the betting sequence.
Why You Shouldn’t Play Free Roulette at Online Casinos
Most online casinos that offer roulette play for free use rigged software that is guaranteed to make you win. This is so you fall into thinking that your roulette system works, and you join the casino to play for real. But when you start betting with real money, the real software algorithms begin work, the casino has a long term advantage over you, and you end up losing your money.
Unfortunately, this kind of practice is common with online casinos that offer the roulette game. In most parts of the civilised world, this kind of practice would be considered fraud. However, most online casinos are run from shady jurisdictions where just about anything is legal. Whether you want to play roulette for fun, want to test your roulette strategies, you cannot trust the software provided by online casinos. The majority of online casinos still offer fair random results when you play for real money, but if you are playing without real money to test your system, you will only know your system loses when it’s too late.
The Difference Between Real Roulette and Software Roulette
The only real roulette involves a physical wheel and ball. The majority of roulette games you play online use computer animations of a roulette wheel. This has no relation real casino roulette, because the winning number is decided by a random number generator. A random number generator is basically a slot machine, and it is impossible to beat a slot machine.
Are The Odds of Winning Different?
Assuming the casino is not using rigged software, the chance of winning at a free roulette game is much the same as real roulette, at least if the roulette system does not work. I suggest reading the page about how to win at roulette, which explains the basic facts of what does and doesn’t work. The only way to know if the odds are any different playing the free game, when compared to real casinos, is to test hundreds of thousands of spins. This will take weeks or months, and still the results may be inconclusive. Simply don’t trust software game is provided by online casinos, because you never know the algorithms they use to determine winning numbers.
What’s the Difference Between American and European Roulette Games?
Again assuming that the software algorithms are fair, the only difference between the different types of roulette games are that the house edge is greater with American roulette. This is because the European wheel has 37 pockets, but the American wheel has 38 pockets. But the payouts are the same. For example if you bet on single number, the odds of winning are one in 37, but the actual payout is 35 to 1. On the American wheel, the the odds of winning are one in 38, but the payout is still 35 to 1. So basically wins occur less frequently. It’s the same case for any kind of bet. This includes reds, Blacks, odds, evens, 1 to 18, 19 to 36, the streets and so on. See the page on roulette odds and payouts so you better understand the mathematics.
What is the Best Betting System?
The betting system is usually called a roulette system, or roulette strategy. But specifically the system is a method to predict the winning number, whereas a strategy is more for things like money-management. The majority of roulette systems do not at all consider the winning number. The classic example is the Martingale. The Martingale system is simply doubling your bet after losing, in the hopes that the eventual lucky win will win back all losses.
Martingale system simply does not work because all spins, from even the best free Roulette games, are independent of each other. For example, you may walk up to a betting table and see that red has spun five times in a row. You may assume that Black is due to spin next, so you bet on black. The fact is the odds of red and black spin next exactly the same on every spin. By changing the size of your bet, you do not and all change the outcome all the odds of winning. All you do is increase the size of your bet, and the amount you are risking.
Can You Play Live Roulette With a Real Dealer For Free?
Yes you can, and these are the next best thing to having your own wheel to test your system. You can learn how to play casino roulette in the comfort of home. See the link for recommended live online roulette casinos, where a real dealer (croupier) and wheel are used.
What’s the Best Bet Type To Play With?
If your system doesn’t increase the accuracy of predictions, all the types of bets are much the same. See our page explaining the types of roulette bets and payouts. The exception is inside bets on a real wheel, because they can represent sectors of the wheel. Don’t make the mistake of thinking play outside bets such as the dozens will profit you. If your system involves outside bets and you have won so far, it’s almost certainly because of luck. It’s entirely possible to play for thousands of spins and have profited. It can leave you with a sense of having a winning strategy, when in fact you’ve just been lucky. The casino needs at least some winners to keep everyone thinking roulete can be beaten. Ironically it can be beaten, but just not with outside bets.
The Benefits Of Playing Roulette Online
The obvious one is to get to play from home, that need to go anywhere. Another important benefit is you don’t need to physical healing over anyone at the betting table, so placing your bets is very easy.
The majority of online casinos also spin the wheel a lot more frequently than real casinos. This means you’re not waiting a long time between spins. If you are a professional player, you know the more frequent spins, the more you will learn. And more frequent spins mean you can analyse more spin results, and begin play in less time. From my personal experience playing online, you can very easily prerecord spins from the night before you start playing. This is done with a screen recorder. Once your recording is done, you can play back your spins and obtain the data you need in far less time.
There are hundreds of online casinos offering live online roulette, but many are dishonest and refuse payouts. Below are the recommended honest casinos offering live roulette:
#1 Live Roulette Casino (best live roulette & accepts Bitcoin)
See the wheels before depositing real money (account required)
Excellent honesty & customer service record
This is one of the very few live roulette casinos that haven’t refused payouts to players. They have been around for a long time with a very good record with players.
If you join any of these casinos and are refused a payout, contact me and we’ll publish your story on www.rouletteforum.cc, www.rouletteforum.net, www.vlsroulette.com, this site and many others I own. You can be sure the casino community will know about it.
If real wheels isn’t your thing, by far your best option is Betvoyager’s No-zero roulette. Basically the wheel has no house edge, so during the game the casino has no advantage over you. The only catch is when you win, you pay 10% of winnings to the casino. See the image below and you’ll notice there’s no zero on the table. See a detailed review here.
Warning About Dishonest Casinos
It may seem unbelievable, but most online casinos have refused payouts at some time. Most of the time, it’s because of “strings attached” to deposit bonuses. This isn’t the casino’s fault – it is the player’s for not reading the terms before accepting a bonus. But often the casino just doesn’t want to pay the winnings and will find any excuse. Some real excuses casinos gave are below:
The player had multiple accounts, therefore all accounts are locked and funds forfeited (deposits and all) – Most casinos forbid multiple accounts. It doesn’t matter if you created a test account with no money. The casino doesn’t care and they’ll look for any excuse.
Winnings or behavior were “suspicious” – This is very common. The casino doesn’t even give you details of what they mean. The fine print in the terms usually allows the casino management, at their sole discretion, determine what they consider to be activity that appears to breach their rules.
Betting progression was used – Incredibly some casinos forbid progression systems, where you increase bet size after losses. These don’t work in the long term, but some casinos forbid them to avoid large lucky wins by the player.
A big name casino doesn’t protect you and in fact, I receive more complaints about William Hill than any other casino. And they are probably the biggest online casino company around. You only need to do a bit of research to see the many real cases where they refuse payouts for the most ridiculous and unjustified reasons. There are many other excuses for refusing payouts, but the bottom line is a dishonest casino will refuse payout and use any excuse they want. The best way to be assured you’ll be paid is to rely on real-life experiences from real players, and these are carefully taken into account when recommending casinos.
How Many Live Online Roulette Casinos Are There?
More than you’ll ever play. Somewhere between 100 to 500 or even more. Most of them use the same few wheels and live video footage provided by another company. So you can often play on the same wheel, but through a different online casino. The casino pays the live-video-provider a fee, but the casino itself is responsible for paying winnings. Although there are hundreds of live roulette casinos online, there are only about 30 different wheels.
Why You Should Never Accept Deposit Bonuses
Bonuses may sound great, but they always come with strings that ultimately benefit the casino. If you are a professional player, never accept a deposit bonus because it will limit what you can do. For example, you may have won a fortune on a wheel, then it gets changed by the casino. But you may not be able to withdraw funds until you have wagered a certain amount. And doing so may erode your profits.
Dishonest Casinos To Avoid
Casinos listed below either routinely refuse payouts, or have conducted themselves in a dishonest way. Never deposit money with these casinos. Many of the operators have since created new websites to escape bad reputations, so you need to be careful of where you deposit money.
The software providers below are known to produce cheating software, that make it impossible for you to legitimately beat the casino. Basically the payouts are rigged to ensure the casino never loses.

Is there a particular best bet for roulette, or are all bets much the same? As a reference, see the roulette odds page to consider the mathematics. The most important part is the casino’s edge over the player. If you are looking for the best “roulette system” to win in the casino, see the cross reference roulette system.
What is the House Edge? Is There a Best Bet For Roulette?
The house edge is thoroughly explained on other pages throughout this site, but basically it is an unfair payout. For example, if you bet on a single number and won, the payout is 35 to 1. So you get back 35 chips plus your original bet. But if the payouts were fair, you’d be paid 36 to 1.
Which is the Best Winning Bet?
If your roulette system doesn’t increase the accuracy of predictions, then all the bets on the roulette table are much the same. Some may have a higher chance of winning, but not of producing a higher profit. For example, you can bet red for 100 spins, and statistically you will have lost the same as if you bet on zero for 100 spins. The only real difference is you will win more frequently if you bet on red. That’s because you’re covering 18 numbers on each spin, as opposed to just 1 number. You could simply bet on 18 numbers and then you’ll be doing exactly the same thing.
So there is no best bet for roulette. They’re all the same, but with one exception.
The Only Type of Bet That Wins
The only systems that beat roulette involve the application of physics to predict the winning number. They specifically predict the sector in which the ball will bounce and come to rest. It is not based on luck or betting progression. It is based on understanding the principles that determine ball behavior.
As the winning sector is predicted, the bets must represent particular regions of the wheel, otherwise known as sectors. So therefore any bet or bets that represent wheel sectors can be considered “the best” and in fact only types of roulette bets that can win in the long term.
The platinum roulette system is primarily designed for red and black, but it can still be used on even chance bets like odds and evens.
Basically after you lose, you bet double the previous amount on the same event, whether it be odds of evens, reds, blacks or whatever. If you’re a professional player, already you’ll see a problem but I’ll explain it later.
If you win, you return to your original bet of one unit.
So basically it’s a betting progression where you keep increasing bets until you win, then you go back to the start of the system.
Why This System Doesn’t Work
The first problem is it it simply a bet staking plan. It does not at all consider where the ball will land, as a true winning system does. Why would the ball land on red instead of black? There may be a reason, but certainly the size of your bet is not even remotely related.
All the platinum system does is vary bet size. Each spin is completely independent, and the wheel doesn’t sit and think “hmm I think a win for this guy is due now”. The winning number is what it is because of real physical variables.
What Does Work?
You can only beat roulette by predicting the winning number, which is determined by roulette wheel physics. The best methods that do this are revealed on the home page.
A full size roulette wheel in modern casinos is 80cm, or 32 inches. Because there are only several wheel manufacturers, they are much the same dimensions with any of the full size professional wheels.
There are various parts of the roulette wheel, with the most common being wood. Wood is usually the foundation of the wheel, although it usually has an aluminium bowl inside which is highly resistant to shrinkage or variations.
Some roulette wheels are made of a hardened type of plastic called ABS. These are usually completely black. The wheel is made of wood are coated in a quite tough epoxy. It is quite similar to a product called Areldite that you can purchase from your local hardware store.
The ABS wheels are created from a mold, whereas the wooden wheels are carved out by a machine. The process is quite entertaining to watch. You see a near worthless block of wood being carved out into what will becone a casino roulette wheel worth around $10,000. Add a metal bowl and metal deflectors, and a center spinning rotor, and coat it with fine epoxy. Then you have a mechanical device that many losing players will want to swear at when the ball comes to rest.
This article explains roulette wheel secrets that make spins predictable. If you think roulette spins are unpredictable, think again. There is no such thing as a completely random and unpredictable spin. First, we’ll start with the most important parts:
Roulette Wheel Secrets That Make Spins Predictable
Dominant Diamonds From Wear and Tear
Dominant diamonds: the ball hits some diamonds more than others.
The ball release point is much the same unless the casino rotates the wheel daily. This leads to the ball track being significantly more worn in specific parts of the ball track. And any different in one part has a snowball effect, and the differences become greater over time. Even if the casino rotated the wheel after every spin, it would be impossible to avoid uneven wear.
This is why almost every wheel you’ll find has dominant diamonds, which are diamonds the ball hits more than others. The effect of dominant diamonds is spins become much more predictable. In fact on some wheels, the dominant diamond is so obvious that you almost always know where the ball will fall. And to predict the winning number, you just need to know the numbers under the dominant diamond when the ball falls. Whether the wheel is at an online casino such as LeoVegas, real casino, in another country or in your home makes no difference.
Design
It is much more difficult to design a wheel with random spins, than it is to predict spins with reasonable accuracy. The only way to make a wheel 100% random is by not using a real and physical roulette wheel. Even when the wheel completely randomizes the rotor and ball speeds, there is still at least “some” predictability. And remember the house edge is only -2.7%, so the player only needs slight accuracy to overcome the house edge, and give the player the edge.
Manufacturing Defects
Roulette wheels are made with precision, but they still have small defects that lead to spins not being random. You could have two brand new wheels, and spin the ball and wheel at exactly the same speed, and have very different results.
Poorly Trained or Lazy Staff
Most casino staff have only vague understanding of how roulette is beaten. But the modern and well equipped casinos have the ability to know when their wheels are producing predictable spins, at least with older roulette systems and strategies. But casinos are still behind the modern techniques to beat roulette. One example is most casinos have software that analyzes spins and reveals any significant bias. But it takes the casino weeks of spins before they have enough data to analyze. And a professional wheel bias player can use techniques that find bias before the casino knows about it. These techniques are partially explained on my roulette wheel bias page. But generally I don’t advise wheel bias techniques as there are much better and quicker methods of beating roulette.
The Parts of a Roulette Wheel
The main parts of the roulette wheel are shown with definitions below. You need to be aware of them so you understand explanations:
The Diamonds
These are the metal deflectors in various parts of the wheel. Some of the roulette wheel manufacturers call them disruptors, because they disrupt the trajectory of the ball. They also have many other names including pins, slats, deflectors and stops.
Roulette Wheel Diamond: designed to deflect the ball
One particularly important roulette wheel secret is “dominant diamonds”. This is when the ball hits particular diamonds more often than others. Almost every wheel has dominant diamonds. The most common situation is a wheel with two vertical dominant diamonds.
Roulette wheel manufacturers and casinos make every effort to prevent dominant diamonds from occurring. This is because if the ball is frequently falling at a particular point around the wheel, this is not random behavior, and it assists professional players to know approximately where the ball will fall. Then to get an advantage, the player mostly needs to know the wheel orientation at the time of ball fall. And this is not at all difficult to do.
The Ball Track
This is where the ball rolls. It is typically wood coated with a very tough epoxy plastic. But it is still subject to wear and tear, most notably cracks. Cracks will eventually occur no matter how well-maintained the wheel is. But they occur sooner if the casino does not rotate the wheel. This is because if the ball is always released from the same position, most of the wear occurs at the same point. But even frequent rotation of wheels does not stop dominant diamonds from happening. Even on a flawless ball track, dominant diamonds still occur if the wheel’s table is on a very slight angle. Even just a 1mm height difference is enough to cause a dominant diamond, and it’s very difficult for casino staff to prevent.
A much more durable ball track surface is the Velstone ball track shown below. It has a grainy appearance and is becoming more common in casinos. Instead of cracking like regular epoxy, it tends to gradually wear down but evenly, which greatly enhances the life of the wheel. I have wheels with both the regular and Velstone ball tracks, and in my experience the Velstone ball track lasts twice as long.
Huxley Mk7 wheel with Velstone ball track.
The Rotor
This is the inner part of the wheel that revolves with the pockets. It is around 30 kg, and usually they can be interchanged between other wheels of the same design. This particular capability is used by casinos to make roulette wheel bias analysis more difficult for professional teams. This is because the rotor is largely responsible for roulette wheel bias. It is the only moving part on the wheel, and like any machinery, moving parts tend to develop flaws over time. And anything that is not physically perfect is bound to produce less than perfect results. In the case of roulette spin outcomes, and unbalanced or physically imperfect wheel is likely to cause more predictable spins.
The Pockets
These are the areas where the ball comes to rest, and contain all the winning numbers. The designs of the pockets are one of the most frequently changed parts, from a design perspective. The earliest roulette pockets were quite deep, so the ball didn’t bounce much before coming to rest. One problem with this is the spins are too predictable. Generally the deeper the pocket is, the more predictable spins are. But depth of pockets is not the only cause of predictable spins. The pocket separators, which are the pieces of metal between the pockets, can sometimes become loose. This is not easily noticed with the naked eye, but if a pocket separator becomes loose, it can absorb the impact of the roulette ball to a greater degree than other pockets. The inevitable outcome is that one part of the roulette wheel is significantly different to the others, and a wheel bias occurs.
To help reduce spin predictability, some of the pocket designs include:
Huxley Starburst: Triangular pockets that help deflect the ball either one way or another, in opposing directions. Generally it does reduce the predictability of ball bounce, known as scatter. Although it creates a particular condition that makes spins even more predictable. This condition is rare, but not rare enough to make it impractical. The result is a knowledgeable player can increase their edge with patience.
John Huxley’s Trangular Starburst pockets
Low fret: Basically pockets with very low profile pocket separators. Such separators have less of an effect on the ball, so any bias caused by them is minimal. These pockets were designed by George Melas, who is a consultant for one of the roulette wheel manufacturers.
Low fret pockets on Cammegh wheel.
Scalloped: These are similar to low fret, but are like metallic spoon scoops. They have much the same effect as the low fret pockets.
The majority of today’s wheels use the low fret design. In average conditions, overall I find they actually increase the accuracy of predictions. The ball may travel further when it strikes the rotor, but usually the ball bounce from this point is more predictable than with slightly deeper pockets. But other variables make a difference too. For example, the dominant diamonds and trajectory of the ball when it falls.
Which pocket gives the most random spins? It really depends on the ball, the ball trajectory when it falls, the dominant diamond, and the rotor speed. So different conditions have different results. But on average, I find the Starburst pockets to have the highest degree of randomness.
The Base
This is the outer part of the wheel. It is usually wooden with a metal interior. They are extremely tough and even dropping a roulette wheel won’t damage it too much, at least to the point that roulette wheel integrity is affected. A much more sensitive part of the wheel is the ball track, where the slightest scratch can make the difference between weak or strong patterns on a roulette wheel.
The Shaft
This is the shaft that supports the wheel rotor. It is often called the spindle. If the casino staff do not properly care for the wheel, it is possible to slightly bend the spindle. This means that the rotor will spin on a slight angle, and inevitably the ball will land on the lower part of the wheel more frequently. Sometimes this kind of effect is only present with a particular combination of rotor and spindle, so it is not easily noticed by casino staff.
European Vs American Wheels
You’d already know there are two types of roulette wheels, and that they have black and red numbers between 0 and 36. You may not know the roulette wheel secret that all numbers add to 666. This is why it’s called the “devil’s wheel”. There is the single zero European wheel, and the double zero on the American wheel. Yes the house edge is higher on the American wheel because of the extra pocket. But to a professional roulette player it makes little difference. This is because they’ll predict the winning number with enough accuracy to make the relatively small house edge irrelevant. For example, see the public demo video on roulette-computers.com website, where an edge of over +120% is achieved. This is around 40 times greater than the casino’s edge of -2.7% on a European wheel. And it’s still over 20 times greater than the house edge on the American 00 wheel.
The difference between 20 and 40 may seem significant, but the reality is a player’s winning don’t depend entirely on their edge. The largest factor that limits a player’s winnings is how much they can win without being detected. Because if they are detected, the casino will do whatever is needed to stop the winning – even if it means banning the player.
The Wheel Vs The Betting Table
The sequence of numbers for each wheel are (in clockwise order):
There are 37 numbers on the European wheel, which include 18 black numbers, 18 red numbers, and the green zero. The American wheel has 38 numbers, which include 18 red, 18 black, the green zero, and an additional double zero. Besides the different order of numbers, the only difference is the additional green pocket on the American wheel.
It’s no big roulette wheel secret that the betting table is where you place bets. But many players need to understand it has no influence at all on the winning number. But almost every betting system is based around the table.
Variation of Wheel Number Sequences
In very rare cases, the sequence and order of numbers is different. It generally is only the case with custom made wheels, and not normally wheels created by the most popular manufacturers. An example of this exception is shown in the below image, with the single and double 0 pockets side by side. One of the casinos this has been used is Crown Casino in Melbourne Australia. In this case, besides the added 00 pocket, it is the European wheel number sequence.
The only way to beat roulette is by predicting the winning number with enough accuracy to overcome the house edge. That’s it in a nutshell. Winning at roulette has nothing to do with the betting table. I’m not aware of anyone who earns a living playing roulette with a system based on the table layout alone.
Old Vs Modern Roulette Wheel Bias
Most people think roulette wheel bias does not exist today. The fact is every wheel is biased to some degree, although the casino is carefully monitor the results of spins to determine the strength of bias. If a roulette wheel becomes too biased, then it is removed and replaced with another wheel. But the problem for casinos is that proper bias analysis takes often 10,000 or so spins.
The earliest bias analysis players analysed a similar amount of spins to uncover bias. This was extremely time-consuming, but otherwise easy because the player is simply compared the actual results to what they would normally expect if the outcomes were random. But because casinos monitor their own wheels for bias, conditions are quite different from modern players attempting to use the same techniques.
The different approach used by modern bias players involves visual confirmations. Put simply, the player will visually observe roulette wheels for signs of physical defects. Normally the defects are not possible to see with the naked eye, but there are a few roulette wheel secrets that make it possible. These secrets are explained on my free page that explains roulette wheel bias, or you can subscribe to my free course. But one example is you can observe the reflection on the metallic part of the rotor that intersects with the wheelbase. If a particular part of the rotor is lower than another, every revolution you will see a slight reflection flicker. This is something that casinos don’t check for, because it requires careful observation with eyes. And it can uncover a roulette wheel bias before the casino has the chance to collect their required data.

The most common wheels are made by John Huxley and Cammegh and Abbiati. John Huxley was the first and is the oldest manufacturer. There are now many other manufacturers such as Abbiati. Links to various manufacturer websites are below:
Professional players must become aware of each model and the features because some designs are inevitably easier to beat, while others are much more difficult. Although even two wheels of the same design can have very different characteristics. Every wheel is unique because they have small but significant manufacturing defects. Also with general wear and tear, the differences become even more significant.
The Most Common Wheels In Modern Casinos
In any casino you visit throughout the world,whether it is online at LeoVegas or a physical casino, the two most common designs are (by far) the ones below:
Wheels in your casino may be exactly the same model except being a different color. Sometimes the wheels are wooden with a coat of epoxy, or made almost completely of a hardened type of plastic (ABS). The different materials have slightly different resilience to wear and tear, so some tend to last longer. Whether the wheel is at an online casino, real casino, in another country or in your home makes no difference. But no two wheels are identical because they all have small manufacturing defects, and are maintained to different standards. Is there usually a significant difference between two new wheels that are the same model? Yes, but it depends on what you are analyzing.
For example, say you had two brand new wheels of the same design. The ball will bounce virtually identically between two new wheels of the same design. But you may find even if both wheels are placed on a perfectly level surface, one might have a slightly more dominant diamond. These slight imperfections become more apparent over time.
An inexperienced player might look at a wheel that’s easy to beat, and a wheel that’s easy to beat, and not see any difference. So keep in mind the following signs so you know the difference. If you are ever witnessing a demonstration of roulette prediction technology (like a roulette computer), ensure that:
It is a modern design: One of the above is best.
The ball doesn’t constantly hit the same diamond then fall predictably: Dominant diamonds are extremely common and normal. Just make sure the ball falls in a way that’s consistent with wheels in real casinos. For example, in most casinos, the ball doesn’t almost always hit the same diamond then fall directly down with no bounce. Hitting the same diamond very often is ok, but to be realistic spins, the ball should still often do unpredictable things.
The ball rolls smoothly: This is very important because if the ball track is old and worn, then likely the ball not will fall from the ball track in the same place AND will also fall with the same predictable trajectory (angle). And this makes the ball bounce more predictable.
I’m not saying many casinos don’t have very easily beaten wheels. Just that if you want to test roulette prediction technology, don’t test on an easily beaten wheel. The wheel I usually use in demos is a Mk7 Huxley with a Velstone ball track in very good condition. It is more carefully maintained, so is significantly more difficult to beat that average casino wheels. You will know this by comparing the point above to wheels in your own casino.
Automated Roulette Wheels
The more often players bet, the more casinos earn. Live dealers are often slow paying players and organizing chips, so automated roulette wheels were created. These are real wheels, but the ball and wheel as spun automatically by an automated mechanism. Each player places bets on their own touch bet screen.
The earlier versions of automated wheels were easily beaten. But more recent technology has made spins more random, so auto wheels are harder to beat. For example, the Cammegh Slingshot is the most notorious automated wheel. Players are allowed to make bets for some time after the ball is released. But after no more bets is called, the rotor will randomly change speeds. This is specifically to make it harder for roulette computer and visual ballistic players to win.
Cammegh Slingshot auto wheel.
Is it possible to beat a Slingshot wheel? It depends on how the wheel is configured. Sometimes it makes almost no difference. Sometimes it makes winning almost impossible. But most often, it reduces the player’s edge by about half. So if a player would normally have a 40% edge, the Slingshot’s random rotor speed ability would reduce the edge to 20%. It’s a large reduction, but 20% is still an enormous player edge.
Understanding The Roulette Table
A fundamental fact about roulette is the winning number is determined by a wheel and ball. It has nothing to do with the betting table, although most systems are based on the table layout. A classic example is if the winning marker (the “dolly”) is placed on number 1, and you bet on number 2, you may think it’s a near miss. But in fact the numbers 1 and 2 are virtually opposite each other on the wheel.
The betting table is deliberately a scattered representation of the wheel, and it’s intended to make players forget about what actually matters, which is of course the wheel itself. Learn more about the types of roulette bets on the table.
Most roulette systems are based on the table, which has no influence at all on the winning number.
It still amazes me how often roulette players refer to the wheel as the “roulette table”. I can also see the amount of searches that hit my website with search terms like “how to beat the roulette table”. It has nothing to do with winning roulette, so forget the table. There has never been a system that can beat a table. It has no influence on the winning number. Proper advantage play strategies must attack the predictability of spins on the wheel.
Roulette Wheel Secrets: The Conclusion
If you think roulette wheels have totally random spins, simply check how often the ball hits specific diamonds. The truth is may be impossible to make a roulette wheel with truly unpredictable spins.
At best, a wheel can produce such random spins to make play not worthwhile for professional players. Less than 1% of wheels today produce such random spins. In my experience, almost every wheel design can be beaten one way or another, at least in average casino conditions. But some wheels are in conditions that make play impractical. An example is where it spins very infrequently in a very busy casino, so you cannot get enough data in a reasonable time.
Even with the emergence of new technology and wheel designs, I expect roulette will still be beatable for some time to come. The wheels 10 or so years ago are much the same as they are today. The casinos aren’t panicking about professional roulette players because they primarily rely on casino surveillance to detect professional players before they win too much. That’s why the real key to winning at roulette is not so much the system, but more avoiding detection.
Nevertheless, roulette is getting harder to beat. Nothing lasts forever, and I expect that after around 15 years from now, there may be too few opportunities for professional roulette players to earn a living. It doesn’t mean it wont be possible, but it would just be much more difficult than it is today.
As a professional roulette player, the first and most critical thing to understand is that there is a big difference between the roulette table and the wheel.
The roulette wheel layout and the roulette table layout are a deliberate randomisation. The most obvious is the alternation of red and black pockets because they do not represent any specific sector of the wheel. Although you could argue on the American 00 wheel, at around 00 there is a slightly higher average of red pockets, and at around single zero, there is a slightly higher average of black pockets. But the difference is not significant.
American Wheel Layout
The American wheel has 38 pockets, including numbers one through to 36, the single zero, and the 00. The American wheel house edge is -5.26%. The order of numbers on the roulette wheel is 0, 28, 9, 26, 30, 11, 7, 20, 32, 17, 5, 22, 34, 15, 3, 24, 36, 13, 1, 00, 27, 10, 25, 29, 12, 8, 19, 31, 18, 6, 21, 33, 16, 4, 23, 35, 14, 2
European Wheel layout
The European wheel has 37 pockets, including numbers one through to 36, and just a single green zero. The European wheel house edge is -2.7%. See the roulette odds page for more detail.
The payouts for each of the wheel variations are exactly the same, but the odds are not because the American wheel has the extra pocket. Therefore as a general rule, players should favour the European wheel where possible. The majority of casino throughout the world offer only the European roulette wheel, which was designed with only one green 0 to compete with other casinos using the American layout wheel. The order of pockets for the European wheel is 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25, 17, 34, 6, 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33, 1, 20, 14, 31, 9, 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26
On the note of the difference in house edge between each wheel, professional roulette strategies that beat roulette typically achieve a player edge of anywhere from 5 to 120%. In particularly with roulette computer devices, and edge of 80% or more is common, so the difference in edge between the American and European wheel is is not overly significant for professional players. Simply whichever wheel exhibits the most predictable spins is favored. The house edge of the wheel is more a hindsight, although it is particularly relevant if you wish to play for fun. Simply a greater house edge means you have a lower chance of winning.
Sector Bets on the European Wheel
Jeu 0 (around zero): Bets on 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15
Voisins du Zero: larger area around zero, bets on 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25
Orphelins: Bets on 1, 20, 14, 9, 17, 34, 6
Tiers du Cylindre: Bets on 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33
Neighbor bets: These bets typically cover 5 consecutive numbers.
The Betting Table Layout
The table layout is much the same for both the European and American wheels, with the main difference being the American table has the betting area for the 00 pocket. Another significant difference is that additional types of bets are permitted on the American roulette table.
The Types of Bets and Chip Placement
Refer to the second image and the below for an explanation of the types of bets:
(1) Straight (1 number): 35-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 35 units). The example covers number 25.
(2) Split (2 numbers): 17-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 17 units). The example covers numbers 20 & 23.
(3) Street (3 numbers): 11-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 11 units). The example covers 13, 14 & 15.
(4) Square (4 numbers): 8-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 8 units). The example covers 7, 8, 10 & 11.
(5) Six Line (6 numbers): 5-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 5 units). The example covers numbers 1 to 6.
(6) Colours (18 numbers): 1:1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 1 unit). The example covers all red numbers.
(7) Dozens (12 Numbers): 2-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 2 units). The example covers numbers 25 to 36.
(8) Highs / Lows (1-18 or 19-36): 1-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 1 unit). The example covers numbers 19 to 36.
(9) Odds/Evens (18 numbers): 1-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 1 unit). The example covers all odd numbers.
(10) Columns (12 numbers): 2-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 2 units). The example covers numbers 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33 & 36.
Roulette Table Defects and Manufacturing
Roulette tables are designed to carry the weight of roulette wheels, which typically weigh approximately 80 kg. It is important for casinos to use quality tables and a sturdy floor, otherwise the angle at which the roulette wheel sets is varied. This creates an effect where the roulette ball will fall off the ball track at certain points more frequently than others. Another result of this, is that the ball will hit some metal deflectors more often than others. This is not the result of a bias or defect of the wheel itself, but rather a tilt, which is why professional roulette players often refer to this condition as a tilted wheel. However, dominant diamonds is not necessarily always caused by wheel tilt. Most casinos strive to carefully level their wheels, because tilted are easier to beat by professional players.
Even on a sturdy roulette table, and very carefully level roulette wheel, the simple act of a player leaning against the table is enough to create a significant tilt of the wheel, and therefore dominant diamonds affect. Leaning on tables is often used by teams of professional players in casinos that very carefully level their roulette wheels. But even in casinos that do carefully level wheels, it is almost impossible to avoid the ball favouring particular metal deflectors, known as diamonds.
Placing Bets on The Roulette Table
At particularly busy times in the casino, the roulette table can be crowded with players, and placing bets can be difficult. To a casino, the more players that are able to bet, the more money a casino will earn.Generally if you are not betting on the table, you will be asked to leave.
Modern casinos often use what’s called rapid roulette, which is where a real physical roulette wheel is surrounded by touch bet betting terminals. Each player can sit in their own chair and place bets electronically by the screen in front of them. This can support 20 or more players at the same time. In some casinos there are rows of 40 or more players all watching the same wheel and placing bets.
Is there a particular bet on the roulette table that has better chances of winning than others? That depends on your perspective and the roulette strategy you apply, but in most cases all the roulette bets are essentially the same. Specifically they are all subject to the house edge.
The Odds of Bets on the Roulette Table
The page about how to play roulette explains the various types of bets and their respective odds. Pay particular attention to the house edge for each type of bet and you will notice that the house edge is the same for all bets. As the pace in the link also explains, the house edge is essentially unfair payouts offered by the casino. The principle is very simple although often misunderstood. It has nothing to do with the green zero.
How Different Bets Affects Results
If you bet on 30 individual numbers, the chances are that you will profit on most of your spins. The problem is when you eventually lose, you lose big.
Apply this principle to betting on an individual number such as 32. You statistically will win one every 37 spins on the European single zero wheel. For most players, play will be particularly boring because wins will infrequently occur. Now consider a red or black bet, you expect to win approximately 50% of the time (actually slightly less than 50%). The more frequent wins is generally more appealing for the average player, but the two types of bets are still subject to the house edge of -2.7%. That means if two different players making the different types of bets both wagered $100, the expected return, or loss in this case, is exactly the same.
So for the average roulette strategy, the different types of bets only controls how frequently a win or loss will occur.
But there are exceptions to this rule, and again it depends on the roulette betting system you are applying.
Bets and Odds with Advantage Play
Advantage play is the term given to professional roulette system methods. They refer to any legitimately effective system that gives the player the advantage. These are the kinds of systems that can and have won millions in modern casinos. Typically they use roulette physics to predict the winning number. Advantage play can be applied on either European or American roulette wheels exactly the same way, although the edge is slightly less on American wheels because of the added pocket and resulting less fair payout.
The one thing that all advantage play systems have in common is that they use inside bets. These are table bets on individual numbers, which represent specific sectors or areas of the physical roulette wheel. An example would be 0,32 and 15 which are all neighbouring numbers on the roulette wheel.
If you are using a professional system, and these are definitively the best type of roulette bet, and in fact the only profitable roulette bet. This is because the professional systems attempted to understand the physics of why the roulette ball lands where it does, to predict future spins and ultimately the winning number.
For example, a professional player may use visual ballistics or a roulette computer device. These ultimately determine the speed of the wheel rotor and ball to predict where the ball will fall. While it may not possible to predict the winning number with 100% accuracy, perfect accuracy is not needed to overcome the house edge. In fact only a very small increase in prediction accuracy is all that is needed to predict the winning number and place a winning bet.
Placing Bets on the Table
Again using the example of a roulette computer, this device uses the timings of the roulette wheel and ball to make predictions. This is done while the ball is still spinning, and before the dealer calls no more bets. This is a critical time in which the player has to make some quick bets on the table. The player may only have 4 to 5 seconds, or even less, before the dealer calls no more bets. In most cases, the player only needs to make one bet on an individual number in the predicted region of the wheel.
Bets Before the Ball is Released
In common conditions it is also possible to predict spin outcomes before the ball is even released. It is not possible in all circumstances, but enough for it to be a practical and viable income source for today’s roulette players. Such an approach may be considered a banned roulette system although not illegal, because they do not at all interfere with the outcome of roulette spins.
Types of Roulette Bets
The two main types of roulette bets are the inside bets and outside bets. See the roulette bets page for a detailed explanation of the odds, chip locations and payouts
Whether you are looking for a free Roulette game to download in order to test your roulette system or strategy, it is important to know that not all roulette games are the same. The majority of roulette games you can download or play online are created by online casinos, and they specifically and deliberately payout more than what should be expected if the game was fair. Software designers deliberately tipped the odds in the players favour to give the illusion that the players betting strategy works. The idea is that the player will be more encouraged to sign up at the recommended casino.
This is similar to scams where a free roulette system is given, and said to work on the at the specific recommended casinos. The player then tests the system and loses, with the casino affiliate who provided the free system receiving a commission on the players loss.
The difference with roulette software game scams is no matter what roulette system you test, you are going to win. But if you use the same system for real money, you will lose.
The Best Free Roulette Game
There are a few reasons why we have recommended the free game specified at the top of this article. Firstly, we specifically modified the source code to ensure the spin outcomes are closely replicated to what you can expect on a real physical roulette wheel. That is to say that the parameters that determine the winning number are based on real physical variables. You may also note that at all times the roulette ball is visible, and when a new spin begins, the ball starts from its previous location – the winning number.
Effectively it is more than just a roulette game, it is a roulette simulator.
However, he is still no substitute for a real physical roulette wheel and ball. If you are a professional player looking to test your roulette system or betting strategy, you must do it using real spins. There are particular online roulette casinos are you can view and bet on real physical roulette wheels, but without needing to sign up or deposit real funds. The link for the recommended honest casino is also on the link we provide above.
Best Roulette Game for Iphone
Most iPhone roulette games include advertisements to play for real money and online casinos. Significant testing we have done indicates that many of these apps are also roulette game scams, where they payout more when you are playing for fun, and give you the real odds of winning when you start playing for real.
Android Roulette Game Apps
Unfortunately it is the same case for android phone apps. The software may be free, but is supported by advertisements that promote online gambling.
How To Know If The Software Is Rigged
The only sure way to know is to check the software source code, but this is not realistically possible because you received compiled versions of the software, known as binaries. Parts of the source code can be extracted using software decompilers. Using these may be against the software’s terms of service, but then again, defrauding people is illegal too.
Alternatively, you need to test a statistically significant amount of game outcomes to determine if they are realistically within expected probabilities. See our page that explains how to roulette that you understand the roulette odds and payouts, and know the expectations if the software were fair.
Beware of Downloadable Software
Keeping in mind that there are many rogue casinos that operate without a license, and without any specific address. That means they are not subject to any laws or restrictions. they may as well be a hacker in the darkest regions of the planet. Do you really want to install their sofware on your PC?
There have been many cases where free software is provided solely to install spyware or other malicious software on your pc. This can also be done on iphone and android roulette apps, or really any software or free game. On Android phones, you can see the permissions needed to run an app, which may be something like access to your contacts or private information. No free roulette game should ever need access to private information that can be used to scam you.
Roulette System Testers
There are roulette system testers that contest large amounts of spins once you have programmed the source code for your roulette system. The problem is learning how to program a roulette system for the software is as difficult as writing any other software, and it’s not suitable for the average player. I suggest read my article on how to test your roulette system so you understand how to properly test any roulette method or strategy you may have. Basically rather than testing the whole system, which can be very time-consuming, test the actual working principle that you believe makes your system different to any other losing system. Basically advantage play roulette systems are the only way to legitimately win at roulette, although they are not suitable for everyone mainly because they are comparatively tedious to use. For example, a professional system may require a full day of wheel analysis, although it may be profitable. But a typical losing system can be summarised in a few sentences, and learned within minutes. Unfortunately these simple roulette systems are the most common kinds of systems, and they lose.

Roulette comes from the French word meaning little wheel, but the average roulette betting system revolves around the betting table. It is a particularly popular casino game because it is exciting and easy to play.
There are more gambling systems devised to play roulette than any other casino game, although almost every strategy eventually loses.
The History of Roulette
Roulette was invented in France by a man in search of a free energy device. Back then it was very primitive, but was adapted to have similarities to other gambling games.
Since 1796, roulette has remained much the same besides some advances in roulette wheel but a factoring technology and design, intended to make roulette spins less predictable. An earlier primitive explanation of the roulette wheel was that the green pocket is reserved for the casino, and that when the ball lands in it, the casino wins and all players lose. However, the green zero pocket is essentially no different to any other pocket with respect to odds and probabilities.
The earlier versions of the roulette wheel had only red and black pockets, but later the green zeros were added to avoid confusion.
In the mid 1800s, a German casino introduced the European style roulette wheel, which had only a single green zero pocket. This was intended to compete with the other casinos.
There have been numerous versions of roulette wheels that had both fewer and more numbers that are used today. The current prominent wheel versions are the American 00, and the European single zero wheels.
The game of roulette eventually made its way to America, but back then was initially illegal. This gave rise to cheating by both players and casino operators, it was not until sometime later that gambling on roulette spins became legal in America.
The Rules and Basics of Play
Roulette has many different betting options which are easy to understand and learn. The two main types of bets are the inside and outside bets. The outside bets include larger clusters of numbers, and the inside bets include smaller clusters down to individual number bets.
Each roulette table has minimum and maximum bet. The minimum is to ensure the casino has the space around the betting table occupied by profitable losers, and maximum bet is to prevent the casino losing large amounts of money by wealthy lucky players. Contrary to popular belief, a roulette table with no betting limit does not assure the player of winning if they continue to increase bets after losses. This is because the player cannot have an unlimited bankroll, and eventually they will lose unless their strategy circumvents the house edge.
Before a spin begins, the dealer announces “place your bets”. Players may then place their betting chips on the betting table. The dealer, otherwise known as the croupier, then begins the rotation of the rotor, which is the internal and spinning part of the wheel containing the pockets. The dealer then spins the ball in the opposite direction of the rotor. Usually the players may still place bets after this point in time, until the dealer eventually calls “no more bets”. This usually occurs approximately 4 to 5 ball revolutions before it falls.
After the ball falls, the dealer places a marker, known as the Dolly, on the betting table in position of the winning number. The dealer then removes all losing bets either by hand or with a rake, and then proceeds to payout winnings. The winnings are provided in the form of casino chips, and are placed next to each individual winning bet. The winning number is also displayed on an electronic board called the marquee. The marquee usually displays the last 15 or so winning numbers.
Roulette in California
In California, the USA, gambling on roulette wheel spins is forbidden, so the state uses a different type of roulette. According to the laws, the casino must use cards to determine the winning number. The dealer still spins a wheel although a little pointer indicates the winning number which is then displayed to the players. In some other areas, similar processes involving cards are used. These types of roulette are not real roulette, and are very different to what you would find in other parts of the world.
The European and American Wheel Layouts
The two prominent types of roulette wheel other single zero European wheel, and the American 00 wheel. The two major differences are the sequence of numbers, and that the American 00 wheel has one additional pocket, being the 00 green.
There are no other differences between the two variations of wheels. The wheel manufacturers who create the two different varieties use the same outer parts (bowl) for both the single and 00 wheels.
The Roulette Table and Bet Types
The betting table is usually covered by a green felt material. The table layout is usually identical for both American and European wheel designs, besides the addition of the 00 for American wheels.
Inside Bets
Straight: a bet on an individual or single number.
Split: a bet on two numbers (example: 1 and 2)
Corner (square): a bet on for independent numbers which form a square on the betting table (example 1,2,4,5)
Six line (double street): a single bet covering two streets
Trio: a bet covering green zero and 1, 2 or 3 on the European wheel.
Outside Bets
1 – 18: all numbers between 1 and 18
19 – 36: all numbers between 19 and 36
Red: All red numbers
Black: All black numbers
Evens: All even numbers
Odds: All odd numbers
Dozens: Groups of 12 numbers: 1-12, 13-24 and 25-36
Columns: similar to the dozen bets, but along a perpendicular axis to the dozens
Called and Announced Bets
These types of bets create confusion amongst players, because the definitions of these terms vary between jurisdictions. Often this type of bet involves passing a stack of usually five betting chips to the dealer, and asking them to bet on an individual number and the two adjacent numbers either side of it on the physical wheel. These are called neighbour bets, and some casinos require them to be bet through the dealer, who then places the betting chips on an elliptical part of the betting table called the racetrack. In many European casinos, neighbour bets must be announced to the pit boss for them to be considered valid.
In other regions of the world, called or announced bets are bets where a player tells the dealer specific bet without physically placing a chip. This is intended to be used when a player does not have time to place the bet he or she wants. It is particularly useful on busy tables, but these types of bets are illegal in many jurisdictions. This is because these types of bets are considered credit, and it is too easy for dishonest players to place these bets without actually having the money. Usually these bets are only used by highrollers in VIP rooms, where the players are well known by the casino staff.
Voisins du zero (17 number bet)
This is a bet that covers all numbers between 22 and 25 on the physical wheel, although only nine chips are used. The bet involves a combination of individual bets.
Le tiers du cylindre (wheel thirds)
This bet includes the numbers closest to 0, which are 12,35,3,26,0,32,15 on the European wheel.
Orphelins
A bet of eight numbers including 17,34,6 and 1,20,14,31,9. Each of these groupings have numbers that are next to each other on the European wheel. Although there are multiple numbers, only five chips are needed because a combination of individual bets are used.
Neighbour bets
Typically five numbers that are directly next to each other on the wheel. Some casinos allow players to choose the amount of consecutive numbers that one neighbour bet reflects.
Odds and Payouts
Despite the variety of roulette bets, the house edge is consistent. That is in the long-term, most roulette systems, the different types of bets will produce much the same results. So if one player bet on dozens for 1,000 spins, a another bet on black for 1000 spins, both players can expect to have lost the same amount. Also combinations of bets do not and all increase the players chances of winning or losing if the method of bets selection has not improved the accuracy of predicted winning numbers.

The house edge is one of the most misunderstood elements of roulette. It is the casinos inbuilt advantage intended to ensure the casino always profits over the long-term.
The house edge could be simply explained as unfair payouts. An example is on the European wheel there are 37 pockets including numbers one to 36, and the single zero pocket. This means that any winning number has a one in 37 chance of spinning. If you were to place a bet on an individual number for 37 spins, statistically you can expect to win once.If the payouts for roulette were fair, on this one win, you would be paid 36 units plus the return of your original bet. This payout would be 36 to 1, and it would mean that you have neither won or lost anything.
But the payout offered by the casino (for single numbers) is only 35 to 1. So the casino is paying less than it would if it were being fair.
The house edge is the same for different types of roulette bets. It is a gambler’s fallacy that some bets are better than others, except when a professional roulette betting strategies are involved to predict winning sectors of the wheel.
Calculating the house edge
There are numerous mathematical models to explain the calculations of the house edge. A simplified version is to compare the payouts versus the odds.
For example, consider a single number bet on European wheel. A fair payout would be 36 to 1, but the casino only offers 35 to 1. To calculate the house edge, subtract 35 from 36 which is 1. Then divide the result by 37, which is 1/37 = 0.027, so the house edge is 0.027.
It becomes more complicated to calculate with other types of bets, but the basic principles are the same. If you would like a Microsoft Excel chart to more easily calculate the edge for any roulette bet, contact me and I’ll email it to you for free. It is the same roulette edge calculator I use myself.
Betting Strategies and Systems
More betting systems have been devised for roulette than any other gambling game. Most do not at all increase the accuracy of the winning number predictions, and therefore have no better than random accuracy. This in turn means that the expectations that the players bets will win are subject to normal expectancy, and thus the house edge.
Most roulette strategies are based on gambler’s fallacy, which is basically a pattern or principle that the player believes to exist, but does not actually exist. A common example is that after many read spinning in a row, the player may believe that Black is due to spin next. But the odds of red and black are unchanged and still equal to each other. This fallacy is often referred to as “thinking something is due”, although no event in roulette is ever due without cause-and-effect. The winning number in roulette is determined by the physical variables of the roulette wheel and ball.
Another common example is after multiple reds, the player may believe that red is on a streak, and thus red is more likely to spin next. Like the previous example, it is a false belief, and red is still no more likely to spin than black.
Professional Roulette Prediction Strategies
The only known method to beat roulette and overcome the unfair payouts of the house edge involve the use of physics to predict the winning number.
One of the first cases of a professional player is Joseph Jagger, otherwise known as “the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo”. Joseph determined that physical defects in roulette wheel is cause a phenomena called wheel bias, where certain numbers will spin more frequently than others. Many factors can cause wheel bias, such as manufacturing defects that cause one pocket to be significantly larger than the others. This in turn means the ball is more likely to fall in this pocket. The case of Joseph Jagger occurred in 1873. Eventually the casino modified their roulette wheels and Joseph lost some of his winnings before he noticed the changes. He still walked away with the equivalent of millions in today’s money.
A more recent case involving roulette wheel bias is with a Spanish family (Garcia-Pelayo family). Their approach was much the same as what was used by Joseph Jagger. For some time the casinos do not understand how the Pelayo family were consistently winning. They began with approximately $2000 and profited approximately $1 million in a relatively short space of time. At the time, the casinos were not able to legally deny that the players attend the casinos and win. When the casino was unable to stop the family winning, they forcibly removed the players which then took the matter to court. The family won the case, and was able to continue playing and winning. But the casino was forced to apply more stringent measures to prevent the player is winning, such as very frequently modifying wheels to the point where play became impractical. The team then began playing in other jurisdictions, although the father of the family became ill and they were unable to continue.
Roulette wheel bias is very difficult to prevent, and in fact all casinos suffer from some bias. For this reason, casinos use software to analyse previous spin results of the wheels, to determine if a bias is present. This requires the analysis of several thousand spins. With common software, a wheel can have a green, orange or red rating. A green rating means the wheel exhibits no significant bias. An orange wheel means there is significant bias, but it is not a big problem and the wheel can still be used by the casino. A red wheel is a significantly biased wheel that must be replaced or fixed. The majority of today’s wheels are between the green and orange ratings.
Modern roulette wheel analysis techniques used by professional players are capable to detect bias before the casinos. Significant bias can be detected in a few hundred spins instead of the typical few thousand spins. This website provides these advanced techniques for free, because there are other more powerful methods to beat roulette.
Roulette wheel bias can be used in modern casinos, but it is far more time-consuming and less profitable than other available methods.
The most effective roulette betting strategy to win is the roulette computer. These are electronic devices that measure the roulette ball and rotor speed to predict the winning number. More information is at roulette-computers.com. A well-designed roulette computer is capable of achieving over a +120% edge over the casino, which is approximately 40 times the edge the casino has over normal players. For this reason, beating roulette is extremely easy with the only limitation in what the player can win without being detected by casino staff. Roulette computer devices are legal in approximately half of the jurisdictions worldwide because they only predict game outcomes without interfering.
Losing Betting Systems
The Martingale
This is a simple betting strategy where the actual bet is irrelevant. The player simply doubles their bets after losing, with the intention of winning back losses plus an additional amount. This is well documented to fail because the player reaches the betting limit or deplete their bankroll very quickly.
Labouchère system
This is essentially no different to any other betting progression like the Martingale. It still involves the increasing of bet size after losses.
D’Alembert system
This is a system designed to preserve bankroll. When the player wins, they reduce their bet size. When they lose, they increase their bet size. So it is still a betting progression, but not quite as dramatic as betting strategies such as the Martingale.
Why Most Roulette Systems Lose
Most systems do not even consider the winning number. For example, the Martingale is a betting plan and not a method for predicting the winning number.
The only roulette systems that are globally recognized as effective involve the application of physics to predict the wining number, and therefore change the odds that the bet wins.
Mike Caro is a professional poker player. I wont profess to know everything about him but as far as I can tell, he has no significant experience with winning roulette systems. He states that besides the possibility of measuring the rotor and ball speed in roulette, roulette cannot be beaten (the use of roulette computers or visual ballistics). And he states roulette computers are “better in theory than practice”, insinuating they don’t really work for real. Tell that to the Ritz casino who had three players win £1.3M in 3 days, but that’s just one example. He really doesn’t know what he’s talking about but for now I’ll address his system.
Does Mike’s Roulette System Reduce The House Edge?
If you carefully consider the rules of his roulette system, he leaves you with no numbers left to bet. So his system doesn’t really exist. He is just trying to make a point that you can’t beat roulette. The problem is he really doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Before I continue, below are his system’s rules:
The System Rules and Bets
Stick to inside numbers
Don’t bet on the zero
Don’t bet on odd red numbers
Don’t bet on “even black numbers”
Bet only on even red or odd black numbers
Exclude the number 30, and the group of consecutive numbers from 11 to 14
Again the system is not real. It is just his way of saying roulette can’t be beaten.
If Mike did proper research, he’d know that not only can roulette be beaten, but it is the most profitable casino game. How is this possible? One example is the European roulette house edge is a small -2.7%. It’s double on the double zero American wheel. But a roulette computer device is capable of achieving a player edge of over 100%. This doesn’t mean you will win on 100% of spins. I’m referring to the actual player edge, in the same kind of terms when the house edge is discussed.
Need proof? See one of my last public roulette computer demonstrations where I publicly demonstrated an edge of over +120%.
In all my public demonstrations, I always split the demonstration into two halves. The first half is to build data showing how far the ball lands from the un-tuned prediction. Then in the second half, I show the accuracy of tuned predictions. All data for the analysis is shown to demonstration attendees, and they can see everything with their own eyes. And certainly I don’t use old wheels or easy conditions. You can see the wheel and ball in any of my videos. There are no tricks – just plain physics and well designed roulette computers.
Is 120%+ edge possible with Poker, Blackjack or any other casino game? Not at all, well unless you use technology to see through cards, which I have developed too. It can be implemented in real casinos but it is highly illegal, and there’s no reason to break any laws when already my teams have the roulette computers that beat almost every roulette wheel.
Every day I come across someone who doesn’t believe roulette can be beaten and I point them to the truth, and it’s up to them if they want to research basic facts or not. Roulette is being beaten every day by players who know better. I very rarely come across a wheel that cannot be beaten one way or another. It is more a matter of whether or not a wheel is practical to beat. For example, EVERY wheel I’ve come across exhibits predictable patterns to some degree. That is you can predict where the ball will land, if you can obtain the wheel and ball speeds and predict the spin outcome at 15-20 seconds before the ball falls. That’s ample time to get your bets down. But if the dealer calls no more bets immediately after ball release, then there may not be time for the roulette computer to obtain the timings. The quickest predictions can be obtained by a roulette computer is with the use of the hybrid roulette computer explained at www.hybridroulettecomputer.com, and it can get predictions 1-3 seconds after ball release.
If the player cannot bet after ball release, then a different method of prediction must be used. Our system basically uses the same physical principles as roulette computers, but links the variables to spin outcomes. There is nothing voodoo about it – it’s plain physics. What makes it special is the software which typically makes 4 billion calculations for around every 300 spins it analyzes. These calculations are necessary because roulette is a very dynamic game. Specifically if one variable changes, everything else can be and usually is affected. So the behavior of the roulette wheel in relation to winning numbers and variables must be correctly and dynamically modeled.
At various roulette forums, I’ve seen many people question the validity of my approaches. These are people that do not have my system – they speculate. And because they don’t know much about it, they assume it must be a scam. Then later I see the same people touch on the physics that my system utilizes, albeit their understanding is incomplete and uni-dimensional. The physics of beating roulette with predictions before ball release is only beginning to be understood by casinos too. Some casino consultants know it is being done, and they know it is possible, but they do not yet know or believe that such a wide variety of wheels are vulnerable to attack. The fact is around 30% of modern wheels can be beaten and are practical to beat in today’s casinos. Specifically almost every wheel can be beaten under common conditions. But only around 30% of the wheels are also practical to beat. The thing that most makes a wheel impractical to play on is that it spins too infrequently. And infrequently is only once every 5 minutes or so. Professional play on such a tediously slow wheel will take a long time, and this makes play impractical for my JAA system as it can take about 3 days to collect the required data. Considering what it earns, it’s still a lot better than a 9-5 job. On wheels that spin once every 1-2 minutes, the required data can be collected in 8-10 hours, and once you have the data, you can usually resume play on each day with relatively little extra data collection.
Back to my original point though. Very often I see self-professed experts make various incredibly ignorant and incorrect statements about roulette. The fact that roulette is being widely beaten even today is not widely accepted, yet. But one of my favorite quotes is “All truth passes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Second it is violently opposed. And finally it is accepted as being self-evident.”
Should any “professionals” want to dispute the validity of my roulette prediction methods, or debate the fact that roulette is by far the most profitable casino game, publicly challenge me and attend my next public demonstration. It can be done either in person or live via webcam.
Is there a banned roulette system that wins so much that casinos won’t tolerate the player? Actually yes, there are quite a few. To see the top 5 roulette systems that a casino may ban you for using, visit www.roulettephysics.com. Generally the term used for a roulette system that works is called an advantage play system. The term advantage play is not necessarily reserved for roulette, and is used by casino staff to define a system or strategy that provides the player with a legitimate advantage, hence the name advantage play.
Which are the banned roulette systems?
Before learning how to play roulette professionally, understand there’s a difference between casino cheating and advantage play. Cheating is any approach or method that is against the law. Casino rules and law are different things. For example, a casino may forbid the use of electronic prediction devices such as roulette computers. But the law may not state that electronic devices are illegal. Perhaps a law may only state that no method or technology may be used to force casino game outcomes. In such a case, the roulette computer would be illegal to apply although the casino specifically forbids them. This means that the casino can ban you if they catch you using a computer, but that’s all that can happen. You can’t be charged for a crime when there is no law that forbids your behavior.
Can you be banned just for winning?
Most casinos are private property, and the casino staff can ban you for any reason they like. They don’t need to give you reasons. But if the casino is owned by the government, typically they can’t ban you unless you are breaking the law. There are many cases I could refer to, but one that stands out is a group of roulette wheel bias players that played in Spain.
Essentially they determined physical flaws in roulette wheels to find which numbers are most likely to spin. They were not breaking any rules or laws, and the casino knew they had no legal excuse to ban them. Before attempting to ban the players, first the casino tried applying countermeasures, which are designed to make the players lose. Unfortunately for the casino, the countermeasures not work, and the players continued to win. Eventually the casino was forced to ban the players and forcibly remove them. The players won a court case which forbid the casinos from banning the players. However, the players became so well-known that the casino was able to track their behavior, and apply more effective countermeasures. All the casino needed to do was regularly change their wheels and parts of the wheels, which made analysis for roulette wheel bias impractical. For example, a wheel bias may be attributed to the rotor, which is the spinning part of the wheel. On many wheels, they look identical to that of other wheels. Now if a casino changes the rotor between different wheels, the professional team has no idea if the same rotor was being used as yesterday. Of course they could analyse thousands of spins to see if a physical bias still exists. But before they collect all spins, the casino could easily change the rotor again. So basically in this case, although the casino couldn’t legally ban the players, they didn’t need to. All they needed to do was apply increasingly effective countermeasures that make the players lose, or at least make their system impractical.
Is there a roulette system that wins no matter what casinos do?
The casino has the ability to do just about anything they want. If a player is winning large sums, the casino can easily close any wheel that the player bet at. But this is not without consequence, because a closed table means other players won’t be able to play. This is just one example, but with modern day advantage play techniques for roulette, a casino cannot apply countermeasures without risking lost revenue from normal players.
I’ll give another example. In about half of the world’s casinos, roulette computer devices are legal. They can be considered the most common banned roulette system, although they’re actually a cheating device. These are electronic devices that time the roulette wheel and ball to predict the winning number. A well-designed roulette computer can beat just about any roulette wheel design. But to use them, the player needs to take the timings of the rotor and ball just after the ball has been released. Then the player receives a prediction, and they have a short time in which to make their bets. Most casinos do allow best to be placed after the ball is released, and this makes them vulnerable to roulette computer teams. The reason that casinos allow late betting is because it means more players place bets on the table, and more players lose. So late betting overall increases the casino’s revenue. The only time the average casino will stop late betting is when they suspect a player is using a roulette computer. The change to the normal procedures will only occur until the suspected player either starts to lose or leaves. Then the casino can resume normal procedures to maximise their revenue.
Most people with no real knowledge of winning roulette will assume you cannot beat roulette. But the fact is there are many legitimately effective systems and techniques that beat the casino at their own game. Winning is not the real problem – it is avoiding detection, but I’ll explain that later. The real professionals in the industry that assist casinos to detect professional players understand the new and more effective strategies are being developed by professional teams. It is a constant cat and mouse game where the players find a new way to win, and the casino consultants and their staff find new ways to limit losses for casinos. Is there any way for casinos to completely stop consistent winners? Arguably yes, but again realistically it comes at a cost of reducing the casino’s overall revenue.
Realistically, at least in the foreseeable future, professional roulette players will continue to exist. But also casinos are getting smarter, and roulette wheel designs are improving to reduce the predictability of spins. This means that winning roulette is becoming increasingly difficult. Considering all factors, roulette is still likely to be a viable and practical income source for some time to come. This is because even today’s best technology is quite beatable with the right technology and strategies. In my experience, any roulette wheel can be beaten one way or another. It’s more a question of practicality and the amount of time it takes.
One of the notoriously difficult wheels to beat is the slingshot wheel by Cammegh. Generally this type of wheel is very well designed and to a large degree randomises the winning number. In my experience, approximately 10 to 20% of these wheels can be beaten at least in a practical way. However, the edge may be only very small such as 2 to 5%. By some standards, this may still be large considering blackjack card counting players get excited over a 1% edge. Some of my recent developments involved a careful study of the slingshot wheels, and I found an anomaly that can be exploited to increase the predictability of the spins. This has now been incorporated into new algorithms for my Hybrid roulette computer. It uses a very rare anomaly that is usually only seen with the slingshot wheel, or at least similar designs. Any roulette computer using a standard algorithm will significantly lose accuracy without the updated algorithm. Depending on the individual wheel, the difference in edge can be between no edge at all, and a 50% edge.
What is the future of banned roulette systems?
Not a lot is likely to change anytime soon. Perhaps there will always be ways to beat roulette, because changes that make winning impossible ultimately reduce the overall revenue of the casino. Still the best way for a casino to protect its revenue is to monitor players for consistent winners. Everything players do is recorded with state-of-the-art surveillance video. And the casino staff a rewind and play recorded video to have at least a reasonable understanding of what the play is doing to win. They don’t need to know all the details though. For example, if the player is winning with late roulette bets, and the casino only needs to call no more bets before the ball has been released. At least until the player leaves.
It’s much like a mouse in the pantry. Every now and then, it may sneak in and steal some cheese. Sure you can set lots of traps and do all kinds of thing to completely get rid of mice. But if you had traps everywhere, your cat’s tail or even your finger may eventually get caught in the trap too. So there would be consequences of setting traps everywhere. In the case of casinos, it is losing more revenue from normal players. It is much smarter for casinos to monitor consistent winners, and only then set the traps (countermeasures).
For players, it becomes essential to avoid detection in the first place. Considering the amount of players in typical casinos, and the amount of money floating around, it becomes quite easy for well-organised professional teams doing considerable sums without ever being noticed. It’s the same case for American roulette or European, the matter where you play. All casinos read from the same book, so to speak.
The conclusion? Advantage play for roulette will be alive and well for some time to come. There will always be a banned roulette system as long as casinos don’t like to lose.
So you’re looking for a sure win roulette system? If you never play roulette, you won’t lose. But a risk-free roulette system that never loses simply doesn’t exist. You can try the roulette simulator for free all you like. Not even the best roulette tips will guarantee you win.
Ok so to any reasonable mind, this should be obvious. But every few days someone asks me if my systems are 100% foolproof and loss proof. My answer is always the same: Nothing in life is 100% guaranteed. Professional roulette systems are no different to any investment. When you begin play on a wheel, the risk is calculated. You will lose sometimes, but mostly you will win. Professional roulette systems must be seen the same was as any investment. If your “investment” like in the stock market returned 200%, you’d be pretty happy. That’s the kind of returns professional systems can achieve, but in a mater of hours instead of the typical years with other investments. There are numerous professional roulette systems that win in modern casinos.
The principle is no different for the casinos, except their risks are much lower, although also with a lower percentage return. On the European wheel they have a 2.7% edge over average players, but they make millions. So they have a long term advantage over players. But of course sometimes a player wins big, and the casino loses a bit of money. But it doesn’t take them long to earn it back.
The Fallacies of Winning at Roulette
Firstly, a fallacy is basically a false belief. And most roulette players have blatantly false beliefs, without ever realizing it. This article explains the most common fallacies.
Generally we all like to think we have a reasonable understanding of things. And it’s often difficult to understand that reality may be very different to what we think. If you are not consistently winning at roulette, or are new to roulette, then you may need to read through this article a few times to fully grasp the concepts.
The Consistent No Lose Roulette Bet (aka consistent winning bet)
If you’ve spent time at roulette forums, you may have come accross talk about the Charles Edward Hampshire consistent winning bet. Basically a forum member claimed to have a consistent winning bet. He gave a long trail of clues and tips that were very roundabout, but never gave people solid information. He created a website called win3million and claimed to operate a non-profit foundation. Unfortunately many people were duped, passionately supported him, and wasted countless hours listening to the nonsense he posted. Many people who tested the principles mentioned by “Charles” claimed it failed. Others claimed the opposite, and that they were winning. The majority were losers, but it was still actually never clear what the “consistent winning bet” supposedly was.
The same individual did the same thing under different usernames. Eventually I came into contact with him, without realising who he was until much later. I asked him why he posted all the material that generated such a following of people for nothing, his response was that he liked to make people think. And together with other things he said, it was clear that he knew he was misleading people about who he was and his experience with roulette. But he actually believed there was some no lose consistent winning bet, and that he was somewhat bringing people on a journey with him to discover this winning bet. But clearly he never even had such a bet in the first place. Some people still actually believe him.
Again he is not the only person like this to mislead so many people on forums. There have been many, and much the same thing happens:
1. A new forum member claims to have the holy grail to win at roulette.
2. Some forum members quickly see the member is “full of it”, and other members carefully follow everything the member says.
3. The member posts countless hints and clues, professing that worthy people will eventually figure out the secret to the holy grail of roulette.
4. Eventually people get bored of the endless riddles and clues, and stop following the member. Some people test principles from the hints that look promising at first, but eventually fail.
5. The member claiming to have the no lose roulette system eventually leaves too, but comes back under another fake name to repeat the process.
One of the reasons why someone would cause this kind of deception is because they want other people to test an idea or concept for them. It’s an unethical thing to do, but in their view they are helping people and working with them, and they think misleading others is potentially for their benefit anyway.
Does The Never-Lose Holy Grail Roulette System Exist?
I wont say it doesn’t exist. There’s a lot more to this universe than we’ll ever understand. But I will say if it exists, the holy grail will use principles that are are new, and have not been tried by millions of gamblers every day. Doesn’t it make sense to try something NEW?
On roulette forums I try to explain to people why a system they are testing wont work, but rarely is what I say understood. Although admittedly I wouldn’t have fully understood it either 20 years ago, or even wanted to understand it. I created an article about the best ways to win casino roulette to explain why particular approaches don’t work, and which approaches do work. The rest of this page will explain the most prevailent roulette fallacies applied in losing roulette strategies.
The top roulette strategy fallacies
Betting progression helps you win: Increasing bet after losses is known as the martingale system. Consider the example where you bet 1 unit on red and lose. On the next spin, you bet 2 units and win. Then you are paid back the 2 units you bet, plus another 2 units. So overall, after 2 spins your bankroll is +3 units. You may think you bet higher to cover losses, but all you actually did was bet a different amount on a different spin.
Put another way (ignoring the presence of zero for now):
Spin 1: Bet 1 unit, and there’s a 50% chance you will win 1 unit, and 50% chance you will lose 1 unit.
Spin 2: Bet 2 units, and there’s a 50% chance you will win 2 units, and 50% chance you will lose 2 units.
There is NO CONNECTION between spin 1 and 2. They are completely independent events. Now you could just increase the bet size until you win, and sure you’ll eventually win. But what will you have lost in the process? And when will you reach the table betting limit?
Betting progression does not help you win. The only place betting progression has is when you have a real physical advantage over the casino, in which case progression can help you achieve a target profit in less time. But if you don’t have an edge oevr the casino, then any betting progression, increasing or decreasing bet size, is nothing more than different bet sizes on completely different and independent spins.
Thinking something is “due” to happen: If you had 10 reds in a row, one player may think black is “due” to spin next. Another player will think red is on a streak and that it is more likely to spin next. Who is right? Neither, because the odds of red or black spinning next are still equally the same. It is the same case for any other roulette bet on the table.
A common manifestation of this fallacy is considering the amount of spins between numbers repeating. For example, if you were tracking number 32. You might wait for number 32 to not spin for 30 appear for 30 spins. Then 32 wins twice within a 10 spin period, and you might think 32 is becoming a hot number. But the fact is at this point, number 32 is just as likely to spin as any other number (excluding the use of proper advantage play methods). You don’t have to take my word. Test it for yourself. Consider any sequence of spins, and wait for a “trigger”. Then see the frequency at which your target number spins. But remember to test it over a statistically significant amount of spins, which should be hundreds of thousands of spins. You’ll find that the odds have not changed.
The roulette wheel has a memory: The wheel is an object and not not care what numbers spun previously. There is still a connection between one spin and the next, but not in the way most players assume. One example is like with the previous point, nothing is ever due to happen. The croupier (dealer) spins and ball lands where it does because of real physical factors, otherwise known as cause and effect. The wheel also does not know your bankroll and doesn’t care what bets you have made. The odds never change, unless you are predicting a winning wheel sector that is at least remotely effective, and correlates to tangible physical variables.
An effective roulette system doesn’t need to win over a million spins, because most players will never even play that many spins: It is very easy to design a roulette system that sometimes wins over 10,000 spins. Even random bets on red or black, odds, evens or whatever can achieve this. Remember the house edge is only -2.7% and it’s still possible for a player to profit. But a player getting lucky doesn’t mean the system is genuinely effective.
Another way of explaining it is out of 1000 players, 550 may be losers, and 450 may be winners. The 450 players all think they’re masters of roulette because they have profited so far. They tell everyone on roulette forums how great their system is. And the 550 players have overall lost with roulette, and listen attentively to the 450 players who have won so far. The casino owners look at both groups and think they are blind idiots. The casino owners need those 450 winning players to convince other players that “winning is possible”, although the casino has a long term advantage. In a nutshell, casinos make money because most players lose. And they rely on the ignorance and inexperience of players.
So what DOES work? Well you need to overcome the unfair payouts known as a house edge. This can only be done by predicting the winning number with at least some accuracy. So here it is, the key to winning roulette: predict where the ball will land.
It sounds simple, right? But how many systems do you know that actually try to predict the winning number? Most systems don’t even consider the winning number. One of our most important roulette tips is to focus on the wheel. Most systems use progression, or look for patterns that don’t even exist except in a past group of spins that have no connection to future spins.
Advantage play in roulette specifically relates to professional roulette systems that are widely recognized to produce an advantage. This is why casinos use the term advantage play.
Do not confuse legitimate advantage play with the system for sale called maximum advantage roulette, from Silverthorne publishing, which does not use professional approaches that work.
What are Advantage Play Roulette Strategies?
By definition they are any strategy that provide the player with a statistical or physical advantage over the casino. If you want to know how to play roulette to win, advantage play is where you must begin. These systems are never based around the betting table, but rather the roulette wheel itself. It is a typical gambler fallacy that roulette is all about the table, when in fact the betting table is a scattered representation of the physical wheel. You’ll find all my roulette articles focus on roulette physics.
The techniques can be applied in both real and online casinos. Online roulette advantages include the ability to screen record spins using automated software, then replay the spins at a faster speed to obtain the required data. This makes it far easier for professional advantage players to obtain the data they need for analysis.
With all roulette advantage systems, except for roulette computers, they take time and effort. This is in contrast to the typical roulette systems that take minutes to learn and apply, but unfortunately eventually blow the players bankroll.
Mathematical roulette systems that rely exclusively on mathematics do not win, because they do not use proper variables that determine where the ball will land. Our roulette simulator simulates the variables but can never substitute for real wheels. However, it can at least tech you the basics on how to play roulette.
What is the best roulette advantage system?
The best methods all involve inside bets that are based on roulette wheel sectors. Roulette wheel bias is perhaps the oldest method, but there is still no such thing as a no lose roulette system. There are some methods that rely on a combination of outside and inside bets, although these reduce the player’s edge with the benefit of making the system more covert to apply. The most common combination bets involve the use of splits where one chip can cover two numbers. With streets and other types of bets, a player can cover particular sectors, although not with the same perfection achieved with individual inside bets.
The specific Roulette system that is best ultimately depends on where it is applied. If the average conditions are considered, then roulette computers are the most effective way to be roulette. These are discrete electronic devices that measure the speed of the rotor and ball to predict where the ball is most likely to land. The winning number may not be predicted with pinpoint precision, but roulette computers can quite easily at least predict the wheel sector with the winning number an inordinate amount of times. This is a sufficient edge to achieve reliable and consistent profits. Learn more at www.roulette-computers.com
Professional advantage play systems do not involve betting on, black, odds, evens, or any of the more popular types of roulette bets, except in the circumstances explained above. These more common types of bets are essentially gambling because they are guesses that do not relate to specific sectors of the wheel. Bets that represent particular sectors of the wheel are called neighbour bets.
Where possible, players prefer to play on European wheels that have a single zero, rather than the 00 on the American wheels. This is because the house edge for European wheels is half of that for American wheels.
Is betting progression used?
No staking or betting plan will assist the player to win unless they are first increasing the accuracy of their predictions. Increasing accuracy can only be achieved by application of roulette physics. Mathematics alone cannot beat roulette. In cases where the advantage player has increased the accuracy of predictions, they can afford to gradually increase bet size after losses, because they already have an advantage. The variation of bet size, known as betting roulette betting progression or the martingale, does not specifically change the player’s edge. What it basically does is decrease the amount of time the player spends inside the casino. After all, time is money, and is important for the player to be out of the casino with their target profit as soon as possible.
Is advantage play any different playing online?
Online casinos often use live dealers instead of computer animations. Computer animations are not roulette wheels and have no physics involved. They are no different to a slot machine. In casinos that offer live deal roulette, all the principles for winning roulette with advantage play are exactly the same as in real casinos. As explained above though, the advantage of playing online is you can prerecord spins for data collection, which saves a lot of time.
Why aren’t typical roulette systems called advantage play?
You’d think that casino staff would be at least reasonably aware of what type of roulette systems win and lose. Again they specifically call advantage play systems as such because they do provide the player with a genuine advantage. Casino owners love to see their patrons betting on the outsides of the roulette table because these bets are guaranteed to lose. Consider red and black bets for example. Red and blacks are scattered all over the wheel, alternating red and black. And of course we have the green zero. Is it possible to know the physical variables of the roulette wheel to predict whether the ball will fall in a red pocket, or black pocket? After all consider they are right next to each other. The slightest variance in physical variables can mean the difference between the ball landing in a red or black pocket. Realistically you cannot calculate the variables with sufficient accuracy to make such a precise prediction. Predicting a roulette wheel sector is a very different story, and the variables are predictable enough to achieve sufficiently accurate predictions, at least to overcome the house edge and turn the edge back in the players favour. So to simplify, you cannot be roulette with red and black bets. If the same kind of case with dozens, except where the dozens each represent numbers that are deliberately randomly scattered around the wheel. Consider the numbers one and two, which are both in the first dozen, although on the opposing sides of the wheel (for the European wheel format).
The typical odds of roulette and advantage play
Mathematics is an important part of roulette, but purely mathematical roulette systems don’t work. With the single zero European wheel, there is one green zero and the house edge is -2.7%. So if you constantly bet on a single number, you can expect to win one in 37 spins, although the payout is 35 to 1. If roulette was a fair game, a win on an individual number will pay 36 to 1, which means you get back your original bet, plus another 36 units. So really even when you win, you still actually lose because the payout is unfair. If you vary the bet size, commonly known as the martingale system, all you do is change the amount you wager on an individual spin. You haven’t at all increased or decreased the chances of winning.
With advantage play such as roulette computers, the player edge can be as high as 120%. Putting this into perspective, consider that again the house edge is normally -2.7%. If you are not mathematically inclined, this means that with a roulette computer cheating device, you can achieve an edge around 40 times greater than the casino has over normal players. This is all achieved by calculating the speed of the roulette ball and wheel to predict where the ball will land. The science behind it is actually quite simple, although the modelling of ball behaviour is quite complicated when considering the variations of air pressure and ball deceleration rates.
For less effective advantage play methods, a typical edge for the player may be between 5 to 20%. Again considering the normal house edge against the player, these are enormous edges. This is why I often say the key to roulette is not really beating the wheel, because it is actually quite easy. The real secret is not being detected, because if you are detected, the casino will not allow your winning to continue one way or another.
What casino staff do if advantage players are detected
Rapid roulette is useful for avoiding detection whether you cheat at roulette or use legal advantage play. The actions of casino staff to prevent professional players winning is called countermeasures. The countermeasures that are applied ultimately depend on how the casino suspects the player is winning. For example, with roulette computers, the measurements of the ball and rotor speed must be taken after the ball has been released, and then the player receives a prediction on which to bet from the computer. So all casino staff need to do, to stop computer players winning, is to call no more bets much earlier. The problem is casinos make a lot more money when they allow late bets. In fact many players prefer to bet after the ball has been released, for various reasons such as they think the dealer may deliberately spin the wheel in a way that makes them lose. But whatever the case, casinos that allow players to bet after the ball has been released tend to earn significantly more. This makes it easier for roulette computer players to win. Vigilant casinos that carefully monitor players for suspicious behaviour will only call no more bets earlier if they suspect a particular player is using a roulette computer. When the player starts to lose or leaves, normal procedures can resume.
Is the same case with pretty much any advantage play, where there are ample opportunities for the player to take advantage of the wheel and exploit it for-profit. And usually the most casino is make winning difficult for the player, but it is at a cost to the casino too. Another example is with some advantage play systems, relatively large amounts of data are required. This means many spins need to be analysed. If the casino spun the wheel very infrequently, such methods would be ineffective for the player. But it would also mean there are fewer bets on the table, and the casino earns less. Alternatively, if the casino spun the wheel more frequently, it would be more vulnerable to attack from professional players. The the upside of this for the casino though is that more frequently spinning wheel means average players generally lose money quicker, and the casino profits quicker.
Ultimately with everything considered, advantage play roulette systems are likely to be effective for some time to come. With the advent of new technologies in casinos, they are gradually losing effectiveness, but at a very slow rate. At the current rate, I estimate the majority of roulette advantage play methods to be obsolete in approximately 15 years. This still presents a lucrative opportunity for professional players.
Going to an Australian casino previously meant you needed to travel interstate. But in more recent times, casinos have sprouted up all throughout Australia. Now we also have pokie venues where there used to be pubs. Personally I hate the slot machines (pokies) because the payouts are absolutely terrible and you will have much better results with virtually any real gambling table. I mean table games like roulette and blackjack.
This article will explain the best gambling games in Australian casinos, and why they are best. We also explain the top roulette systems for any casino.
To start, again let me clarify that poker machines in Australia are a waste of time and money. You can’t win in the long term with them. Specifically poker machines are designed to payout a particular percentage. But this doesn’t mean that for every $1000 it takes that it pays out $100. Of course this is what it may work out to be in the long-term, but how do you know when a machine is going to payout. The old fallacy that a machine is due to payout is absolute nonsense, because the game outcomes are purely random. In contrast, some of the online casinos have game outcomes that are based on amounts that have been wagered, win and lost. For example casino online may be programmed only to allow wins when other players have lost a significant amount. This is rigged, and it cannot profit from such casinos. It’s as good as cheating for casinos.
Best Australian casino games
Contrary to popular belief, roulette has always been the most predictable casino game, by far. This is because roulette wheels are manufactured devices that are subject to various imperfections that lead to predictable spin outcomes. Until recently, blackjack was the favored game used by professional players because it was a much more straightforward approach to winning. The prime example is of course card counting. This is basically know which cards have been dealt, and therefore which cards are remaining. It’s very simple in principle, but now Australian casinos all now use sophisticated card shuffling machines, which shuffle the cards after each game. This means you can no longer know which cards are left, at least for any significant advantage.
Still the most effective approach to beat any casino game is the use of roulette computer devices, such as those at roulette-computers.com. But they are strictly illegal in Australian casinos. But luckily they are completely legal in approximately half of the world’s casinos. Gambling law is based on states, and are not usually national. So this means that roulette computer may be legal in one state, but not in another, all within the same country.
There are various illegal methods the can be used to beat roulette in Australia, one of which is visual ballistics. Visual ballistics involves the use of eyesight to basically emulate what a roulette computer does. And this is determining the rotor and ball speed to estimate where the ball is likely to land. But my personal view of visual ballistics is that it is stressful and overly difficult, and not covert to use. I personally feel that if you are going to bet after the ball has been released, then it is much better to use a roulette computer device, although not in Australia because it is not legal here.
The best legal approach to winning Roulette is called a cross-reference Roulette system. Casinos call it advantage play, because it is not specifically illegal, but it does give the player a legitimate advantage. In Australian laws, the existence and legitimacy of advantage play is noted, after all this is why it is called advantage play. It was actually the casinos that called it advantage play.
Best Australian Roulette Strategy
Most people don’t see the distinction between a strategy and a system. The personally when I hear the term roulette strategy, I consider it a strategy for keeping winnings or avoiding detection. Because with any genuinely effective Australian roulette system, particularly for bet selection, can only be effective if the player is not detected by casino staff. Any genuinely effective system is limited by what you can earn without being detected. Different casinos have different identification requirements, and they may have changed since the time of this article. But generally if you attempt to cash in more than $5000 or so worth of chips, photo identification is required. So as a general rule, cash in amounts below this threshold so you will not be repeatedly identified. This can involve the assistance of friends and family, who will cash in chips on your behalf.
It may appear at first logical to look for a mathematical way to beat roulette. After all, everything can be explained with mathematics. From the mathematical roulette strategies throughout the forums, I’ve never known one to work. Perhaps the appeal of mathematical systems is that they are mechanical in the sense that no guess work is required, and the player follows a simple and logical bet selection process, or a betting progression. If you are unaware of what a betting progression is, it is simply changing the size of bets based on wins and losses. One of the common progressions is the Martingale. It is also important to understand why most players lose, and how to properly test your roulette system.
Unfortunately truth is not always popular, and in this is also the case when it comes to roulette systems. I constantly finding myself referring back to what Einstein reportedly said about winning Roulette, which was that you cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money while the croupier isn’t looking. And I need to remind people that he was referring to the betting table, not the wheel. Einstein wasn’t particularly interested in roulette as far as I know, but it would appear logical that if he put time and effort into winning Roulette, that he would have focused on physics. After all he was a physicist. But also there is no physics without mathematics. You might consider the definition that physics is the theory behind the way the universe works, and the mathematics is the proof, at least assuming you consider mathematics is an absolute science without guesswork. In other words, if you consider that one plus one equals two, without exception, then it’s safe to say you believe mathematics is absolute truth.
Maybe I’m getting too technical. What I’m getting at is mathematical roulette strategies are usually based on simple arithmetic. One example is considering the sum of all winning numbers over the last 10 spins, then dividing the result by 3 until you have a number to bet that is between one in 36. However bad my example is, there are many systems that are based on equally bad principles. When I initially developed a roulette systems, I was no different and was just about randomly coming up with different sequences and concepts, looking for some kind of hidden pattern. There was no logic to the pattern, except that I was hoping to get lucky and find some holy grail hidden pattern. I wasted many years before I even considered the actual roulette will itself. This was because of my stubbornness and wanting to find something that it was incredibly simple that could make loads of money with very little effort. I’m not saying to not try to beat roulette with mathematics. I’m saying you need to use mathematics correctly. A mathematically based system for counting apples might be to consider the amount of oranges and pears divided by amount of grapes, with some fantastic magical formula that only exists in your head, but it will have no value in accurately counting the amount of apples I have. Genuinely effective mathematics applied to winning Roulette involves calculations of the actual variables that are involved. Besides the geometry of the wheel and the layout of the numbers, the numbers themselves are meaningless. So if you are developing a mathematically based Roulette system, you need to consider the layout of the wheel. If you arbitrarily count subtracting divide numbers, and look for sequences that have absolutely no relation to wheel layout, expect to lose. Another way of looking at is just imagine if your system had numbers 32 and 8 mixed around. How would this affect your system and the bet selections? Now imagine somehow incorporating the geometry of the wheel, or more specifically the layout of the numbers. Then it wouldn’t matter where the numbers are, because the position of pockets are relative to each other.
Using math to beat roulette
One legitimate example of using maths to beat roulette is to calculate the amount of times that the ball bounces 10 pockets from where it strikes the rotor. Of course there are many variables that will determine how far the ball will bounce, but you are looking for the most common distance the ball will travel. This is very basic mathematics, but it’s just an example help how mathematics is properly used. It is still intimately tied with physics though. Perhaps a more complex example is how the deceleration rate of the ball will change over time, because of variations like air pressure. This is particularly important for roulette computer devices such as those explained on my website at roulette-computers.com. There are a few ways to deal with the variation ball deceleration, although for many reasons I prefer the use of complex polynomials and splines. This is basically a mathematical modelling for a best fit curve, that mathematically defines the ball deceleration rate change.
Using choas and fractals to beat roulette
Scams like roulette bot plus claim to use hidden pattern technology, but basic testing reveals they are a scam. Basically anything, including roulette wheel outcomes, can be expressed in a mathematical equation and visual chart. And over enough spins, fractals become apparent. Fractals are basically self similar patterns, or patterns that repeat. I’ve spent a lot of time studying fractals in roulette, and there is definitely something significant going on although I am yet to find a way to use fractals to predict a spin before an event. It is like having a very close view of a painting. But you are only allowed to zoom out once a picture is fully finished, and then you see how it looks. And you need an unreasonable amount of data to see any pattern.
With respect to fractals, I have concluded that visually charting roulette spin outcomes does reveal that there are patterns. But if there was a way to use fractals to predict roulette spins, you would need such a vast amount of data that it would make it impractical. And I’m talking about potentially billions of spins, which none of us will ever see in our lifetime. This realisation and my understanding of energy interaction let me to understand that everything affects everything to at least some degree. There are countless variables that contribute to events. Nothing happens for no reason. I’m not talking on some metaphysical level like divine influence. I’m talking about plain and simple cause-and-effect. With roulette, it is likely fact that someone scratching their head on the other side of the world has some influence on where the ball will land, but the influence is so small that the effectiveness is insignificant. Perhaps this is why typical fractal analysis has been unsuccessful. But most importantly I found that you don’t need to have so many variables to predict roulette spins. The physics and mathematics behind winning roulette is relatively simple, and there are relatively few variables to consider. Winning Roulette really isn’t rocket science, it is actually quite simple. It all starts with wheel selection and identifying the conditions and wheels that lead to predictable spins, then applying the appropriate approach.
Questions to ask yourself
If you still want to pursue mathematical roulette systems, consider the questions:
Would your system still work if the numbers on the wheel were different?
What is the logic or working principle of my system?
Will my method of bet selection increase the accuracy of predictions?
Not always is a safe roulette system that doesn’t lose too much a good thing. The best professional advice is to focus on real wheels and the physics of roulette. Don’t bother looking for the best red black roulette system because any outside bet system is bound to eventually lose.
Roulette advantage play is essentially any professional roulette system that works. The very term advantage play was coined by casino staff, specifically because it gives the player a legitimate advantage. Casinos don’t call just any Roulette system advantage play because most systems lose. You would think that casinos know when their games can be beaten, because after all they monitor all money won and lost. This is your first clue that advantage play roulette systems do genuinely work. One more note on the term advantage play – it does apply to other games, most notably blackjack. In the case of blackjack, it specifically refers to card counting and shuffle analysis where small but reasonable edges can be achieved. But the release of shuffle machines that constantly reshuffle have just about eliminated any significant edge if you can’t count alone, although it is can be greatly enhanced by analysing the resulting shuffles.
Advantage player roulette systems
Is advantage roulette a scam? If you specifically searched Google for advantage roulette, you may have been referring to an actual roulette system that goes by this name, which is a scam and not to be confused with genuine advantage play.
Genuine advantage roulette play involves the application of physics, which may sound complicated but is actually quite simple. One of the most common at used and easily understood examples is the effect of dominant diamonds. These are the metal deflectors situated around the rim of the wheel, commonly called disruptors by roulette wheel manufacturers. Another name for the diamonds is pins. It is almost physically impossible, at least in the real world, for the ball to hit all diamonds an equal amount of times. Keep in mind that the roulette wheel is a physical and manufactured device, and thus is subject to physical imperfections. It is also almost impossible to perfectly level a roulette wheel. The levelling of a roulette wheel basically means to put the wheel on a perfectly level surface, although to get technical it is the actual ball track itself it needs to be level, not the base of the wheel itself.
The relevance of the dominant diamond effect is that the ball will at least fall at certain points around the wheel more often than would normally be expected if the spin outcomes were random. For example, observe which diamonds are hit by the ball on 10 to 20 spins per direction. Almost every wheel will have at least one diamond where the ball hits or frequently. Simply put, this is not random, and any nonrandom behaviour contributes to the predictability of roulette spins, and thus provides the roulette player with an advantage. It makes no difference if the wheel is online or in a real casino, because the same physics apply.
So from this point on, once you have established that the wheel has dominant diamond, you already know approximately where the ball will fall at least an inordinate number of times. Remember that the roulette player does not need to know exactly which diamond will be hit, only that specific diamonds will be hit more than others. Another component for an advantage is knowing which number on the wheel will be beneath the dominant diamond when the ball hits it. This is not at all difficult to know if you are using an electronic timing device such as the roulette computers at roulette-computers.com. Then the final component, at least from a simplistic perspective, is knowing how far the ball will actually bounce. The actual ball bounce is called scatter, and in most cases the scatter of a wheel is reasonably predictable. There is lot more to it, but these parts are the basics.
So here we have three elements, the dominant diamond, the rotor position, and the scatter. Each of them are very easy to predict and assess of course some wheels are more difficult to predict than others, although you don’t need perfect predictability. In fact, advantage roulette play requires only very slight accuracy to overcome the very slight house edge, which on a European roulette wheel is -2.7%.
Of course there are various other types of advantage roulette play that generally are effective, but none more effective than roulette computer devices. Generally advantage play is not considered cheating, as cheating involves specifically breaking laws. But as laws differ between jurisdictions, devices such as roulette computers may be considered me advantage play which is legal, or it may be considered outright illegal. Generally speaking, at least at the time of writing this article, roulette computers are legal in approximately half of the world’s casinos. There have been jurisdictions where it was previously illegal, but eventually became legal, and therefore the responsibility of casinos to police themselves. Ultimately casinos are usually private property, and casino staff can exclude any players for any reason. I have never personally known of any roulette computer player that has been charged with a crime. This is problem because roulette computer users, if detected, aren’t taken out back and bashed, or charged by police. This is not to say that it will never happen. But what casino staff will do if they suspect the roulette computer player, is they will simply call no more bets earlier until the player loses or leaves.
Maximum advantage roulette
There is no specific maximum advantage possible for roulette, except unless you are winning on every spin. But this is an realistic. With the roulette computer, edges of up to 150% can be achieved. Specifically 120% was achieved in one of my last public demonstrations of my roulette computer. Every time I place the wheel on the ground and level it, the results are different, but the average results for testing on my roulette wheel are around a 50% edge. This is an enormous advantage over the casino, again considering the typical edge against the player is -2.7%. I do not know of any gambling game, in or out of the casino, with such an enormous edge can be achieved. This is why roulette is my game of preference, and the best of roulette advantage system is a well made roulette computer.
Winning on Ladbrokes roulette is essentially no different to beating any other casino. This particular casino offers live online games, and suffer generated games such as slot machines and other computer games. In games where there is no physical device such as a roulette wheel, I’m sorry to say you simply cannot win in the long run. I’m not specifically saying that Ladbrokes does it, but it is very common that online casinos will force game outcomes based on winnings and losses of previous bets. This includes bets from other players that have nothing to do with you. This has been known for some time, and you can see for yourself by reading and understanding the specifications of the software used by casinos. Most of the casinos using this kind of technology are called rogue casinos, with a are set up offshore jurisdictions that have no fair gaming laws at all. They can literally be run by a single individual sitting in front of his computer wearing his underwear. But there can be of the illusion that it is a big company and reputable casino. All it takes to have the appearance of Ladbrokes casino is a good web designer and some fancy words.
Okay so back to the original topic of how to play and win at Ladbrokes roulette. Essentially it is no different to any other casino, meaning that you need to focus on live roulette games only. Not saying you can’t win another games, but when it comes to something like blackjack, card counting is no longer viable because of card shuffle machines that shuffle constantly and make it near impossible to card count. Actually technically it is possible to achieve an edge this way, and with correct shuffle analysis, although it is much more difficult and time-consuming than it’s worth, considering you only get a few percentage edge. This is why if you intend to win at Ladbrokes, that I suggest focusing only on roulette there, specifically their online roulette.
The two main approaches for winning Roulette at Ladbrokes are the cross-referencing Roulette system at Roulettephysics.com, and the roulette computer devices at roulette-computers.com. Ladbrokes casinos previously allowed late no more bets with roulette. This is specifically when they spin the wheel and ball, and allow betting while the ball is still spinning. This allows a roulette computer cheating device to time speed of the ball and rotor, and predict where the ball will land. This is an incredibly easy way to win, and some of my players have taken enormous sums using roulette computer devices that Ladbrokes roulette casinos. So it is no surprise that Ladbrokes now calls no more bets much earlier. But it is not say that winning with roulette computers is still done at this particular casino, just with more sophisticated equipment that I won’t go into.
Casinos typically allow betting while the ball is spinning because it speeds up the game, and more bets are made at the table. And because most Ladbrokes roulette players are losers, this means the casino is likely to earn more. And if someone is found winning a very large amount with late bets, the casino will simply call no more bets much earlier until the player leaves. Even in cases where Ladbrokes were to call no more bets even before the ball is released, still the best way to win and Ladbrokes roulette is explained at Roulettephysics.com, which are specifically the JAA Roulette system.
This particular winning Roulette strategy is not based on any kind of voodoo patterns, but rather physics of real physical roulette wheels. And this physics applies to all wheels. But generally speaking, although any wheel design can be beaten in a home environment, beating a wheel in a casino environment is quite different. When it comes to specifically Ladbrokes roulette, it is not quite a real casino environment, it is simulated so it is really no different to an office. One benefit is the wheel is spun quite frequently, as opposed to the occasional once every 2 to 3 minutes that is achieved in real casinos.
Can you beat ladbrokes roulette? Absolutely, but remember the typical casino rules apply, which means the only real limit to what you can win is what you can get away with. So you really need to avoid detection. If you try winning with the same account repeatedly, eventually you will be banned or restricted in some way.
The bet itself is 1 unit on 0,1,2,3 (corner bet), AND 2 units on 31,32,33,34,35,36 (double street bet), AND 1 unit on the splits 8-11, 13-14, 15-18, 17-20, 27-30.
Claims Kavouras makes about the system
He suggests betting 20 numbers, make playing less volatile.
He says number should be scattered chaotically around the wheel. Specifically he states that we approached they chaotic roulette outcomes with chaotic bet selection.
He says that not all the numbers have the same amount wagered.
He says that every win offers a profit.
He says bets are spread so they deliberately do NOT represent specific areas on the wheel.
You’ve subscribed to the roulettephysics.com free course to beat roulette. You will learn more than what is already on my site and will receive a different part of the course every 3 days. This includes the free trial roulette system which is explained in videos. Every now and then I’ll also send you updates about related information you may be interested in. Let’s get started . . .
About Me
Firstly I’ll explain some of my background. I am widely considered the foremost expert in roulette, having developed technology such as the only automated roulette prediction device (see hybridroulettecomputer.com & roulette-computers.com). I have also developed roulette systems that have won fortunes yet do not require any electronic devices. I manage the largest professional roulette team consisting of nearly 100 partners, although I have taught over 1,000 other players via roulettephysics.com.
Most of my roulette income comes from partners who apply my systems for a profit-split, so I don’t need to “sell” anything to live comfortably. I own the largest roulette forums (rouletteforum.cc, vlsroulette and rouletteforum.net). Casinos have offered to pay me as a consultant, although I refused as I have no interest in helping casinos.
I have been developing technology and non-electronic methods to beat roulette almost every day for the last 20 years. Even when I’m on vacation, I’m still busy managing my teams. While I also manage other businesses, roulette is a primary focus for income because I find it very profitable. I am well known in the industry and over the years have acquired extensive knowledge from decades of roulette play, in addition to consorting with literally tens of thousands of other roulette players, casino staff (many who are now part of my team), and even roulette wheel designers. While it may appear “overconfident”, I believe it is likely fact I know roulette better than anyone.
Understanding What Roulette Really Is
It may appear mundane to first look at what roulette actually is, but it is necessary. Most players subconsciously consider roulette to be the table. i.e. they place bets based on what they see on the table, but the table has nothing to do with the winning number. The winning number is determined by the wheel and ball.
Many players refer to Einstein having said it is impossible to beat roulette. His exact comment was “You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it.”
Note he said the word TABLE, NOT WHEEL. And he was right, because:
1. The table is a deliberately scattered representation of the wheel to make bets represent scattered areas of the wheel.
2. The table and payouts combined mean that even when you win, you are awarded UNFAIR PAYOUTS.
Now let’s look at each of these points closely . . .
If you’re familiar with the layout of the European (single 0) wheel, you’d know numbers 32 and 0 are next to each other on the wheel, but on the table they’re at complete opposite sides. Numbers that are close to 0 on the actual wheel include 32,26,15,3,19. So the relationship between the table and wheel is deliberately randomized. If the wheel had numbers in sequential order such as 0,1,2,3,4 etc. then players would be more inclined to look at roulette for what it really is, and therefore develop strategies that at least have a chance of winning. And casinos don’t want that.
Critical Misconceptions About Software (RNG) Roulette
One of the common misconceptions that drives me nuts is many players think software roulette offered by online casinos is “roulette”. I’m talking about the “computer games” where the wheel is just a computer animation. It may look like roulette, and the odds and payouts may be the same, but that’s where the similarities end.
This is not roulette. It is a slot machine with roulette wheel animations. And you cant beat a slot machine. Why will be explained later, but basically this is because the results are obtained from a random number generator (RNG) and there are no real or measurable physical variables for you to predict the next winning number. The only real roulette involves a physical roulette wheel and ball, and it is the only roulette you can ever beat.
Believe me I have come across tens of thousands of avid roulette players, and not one of them genuinely beats RNG roulette. I myself have wasted many years trying to beat RNG roulette, but now understand WHY it cannot be beaten. You simply cannot beat RNG roulette (slot machines). For many years I have offered a $100,000 cash award to anyone who can prove me wrong: see www.roulettephysics.com/100k-challenge/ and so far, everyone who has attempted the challenge has failed the first step, because it involves proper testing.
What Gives The Casino an Edge (why most players lose)
Understanding what gives the casino their edge is critical. It is called the “house edge” and put simply it means “unfair payouts”. We shouldn’t make this part more complicated than it needs to be. An example is if you bet on red, you would win 50% of the time IF there was no green 0. But there IS a green zero.
An example not involving 0 is as follows: there are 37 numbers on the European wheel including 0. The 0 pocket is really just another pocket. Nothing makes it special besides it being green. Now if you bet on say number 32 for 37 spins, statistically you will win once where you are paid 35 units plus the original unit you wagered. So after 37 spins, you are left with 36 units. Now this is the critical part to understand . . . If the payouts were FAIR, the payout would be 36-1 which means that after the 37 spins, you would be left with 36 units + the 1 unit you wagered, which means you have broken even.
In other words, the unfair payout ensures that even when you win on an individual spin, you still lose in the long term. Forget about betting progression (changing bet size after losses) – it wont help you because each spin is independent, and an increased bet size only means you stand to lose more on that individual spin. And forget about the notion that after 10 blacks in a row, red is more likely to spin because of some kind of “natural balance”. It just doesn’t work that way. It is a well tested fact that previous spins don’t affect future spins (there is one critical and overlooked exception I’ll explain in later issues).
Hopefully this issue has helped clear up misconceptions about what roulette is. You may need to read it a few times if the concepts are new to you. If you choose not to accept them as plain truth, you are trying to say 1+1 doesn’t = 2, but so be it.
In the coming issues, I’ll explain how perceived “random” spins are not random at all, and exactly what makes roulette PREDICTABLE. It will change the way you look at the wheel forever.
You will get a different part of the course each time. The upcoming issues include various instructional videos that provide the free trial roulette system.
By the end of this free roulette system course, you will know beyond a doubt that the methods I’ve provided are legitimately effective. But keep in mind the free methods are only a fraction of my full system used by my players. My full system is much more powerful, and much easier to use than the free methods I provide. Many players literally earn a living with it.
With any legitimately effective roulette system, the only real limit to your winnings is what you can get away with. In other words, if casino staff notice your consistent winnings, one way or another it wont be allowed to continue forever. So it is critical that players remain undetected. In this issue, I’ll explain various tips to avoid detection. However, these tips are not a full list of what you can do because a lot of other methods are only taught to my players.
1. Never subscribe to loyalty or award cards. They allow casinos to track your winnings.
2. Try not to dress in a distinct way that helps casino staff remember you. Dress like the average person.
3. Get the know the regular staff and their shifts. If you are seeing the same staff members all the same time, they are seeing you too. So play at times when different staff members are likely to be working.
4. Usually you shouldn’t get too friendly with the staff because you may stand out too much. But there are exceptions. For example, being friendly and tipping will make staff happier that you’re winning. While you can tip a dealer, you can’t always tip pit bosses or surveillance staff, and they are the ones who can cause you trouble. A dealer you are friendly with can help you blend in. Most dealers WANT you to win. After all, it is not their money at risk and they like to see happy people. Plus a happy dealer is more likely to do what the can to help you, provided it isn’t too obvious. Most other casino staff feel the same. But there is always at least one staff member around whos job is to make sure that you lose. Usually you can’t see them as they’re in the surveillance room watching TV monitors.
5. Remember that everything is recorded on video. So anything you do can be reviewed later.
6. Don’t play exclusively one game. If you deliberately play a range of games and allow only very minimal losses, to the casino staff you look more like a regular “gambler”.
7. If you take notes on paper, use only the paper that casinos provide. It is not at all uncommon for players to take notes.
8. When taking notes, ENCODE what you write. For example, if you draw a little diagram that marks which diamonds the ball hits, this is a dead giveaway that you are looking at valid principles to beat roulette. So make your data look like something else.
9. Play on a busy table. The more players at the table, the better you’ll blend in. But avoid tables that are too busy as then the wheel spins less frequently. The best times to play are usually 5-6pm (varies between casinos).
There are many more guidelines you can follow, but again I only teach everything to my players, who also receive a range of free tools which are listed at roulettephysics.com.
How much can you win without being detected?
For casino staff to identify professional players is not an easy thing to do especially if you are only taking $500-$1000 per session, which is a reasonable amount to live on. Generally if you win $1000-$2000 per week, casino staff wont bother to monitor you, unless of course you are constantly the only person playing roulette in a quiet casino.
Having a series of small wins is the typical approach. However, some players prefer more of a “hit and run” approach where they win $30,000 or so, then don’t return to that casino for a month or so. This approach has proven very successful but the risk is casino staff are more likely to put a photo of you on a list that is shared between casinos. This is over-rated though and for the list to be of any use to casinos because for them to identify who you are, you would need to be suspected of professional play on a different occasion. Then the casino staff would need to manually check your face against databases and use fiddly facial recognition software that requires a perfect head-on view of you, and is rather inaccurate. You are at a greater risk from plain memory of casino staff. Ultimately unless you are traveling between nearby casinos winning vast amounts, the casinos don’t even use the professional player database.
Is it difficult to blend in? . . . Generally no, but it depends on the system you use. If you use visual ballistics where you bet after the ball is released, then you need to skip some spins every now and then instead of betting late on ever spin. For example you make small bets before the ball spins, more to blend in. And perhaps every third or so spin you use the visual ballistics system, but on these spins you bet significantly higher. It is easier with advanced roulette computers because one player can take the wheel timings, and your partner places the bets without needing to suspiciously look at the wheel. If you use the JAA system available to full roulettephysics.com players, then you bet before the ball is released and it is very easy to avoid detection.
Overall there a few major signs that casino staff check for when determining if a player is a professional, and it is very easy to avoid the triggers.
What happens IF you are detected?
Even if you use a roulette computer cheating device, they do not take you out back and beat you up. Most people think you will be asked to leave or banned. But the reality is the casino staff wont say anything to you. All they’ll do is try to change conditions at the wheel until you either lose back your winnings or leave. That’s all. You will only ever be banned as a last resort.
An example of what they’ll do is try to vary ball and rotor speeds more. Or perhaps they’ll change the ball. These types of actions are called “counter-measures”. These can make you lose with traditional professional systems such as visual ballistics. But it doesn’t significantly affect you if you use the JAA system used by roulettephysics.com players – typically it just makes life a little harder for you because you need to do more work. For example, a ball change only means you need to split data into two different sets – one for each ball. While counter-measures don’t usually make you lose, if the casino staff start applying them, generally it is time to leave. This is because once you are detected, the casino staff wont allow it to continue forever. So you simply leave and come back another day.
This is the reality of being “caught” or “detected” in casinos. If you find someone telling you that you’ll be bashed or banned forever, you can be sure they don’t know what they’re talking about.
Despite winning vast amounts, very few of my players have actually been banned. This is because they follow simple guidelines, and it is not in the casino’s best interests to outright ban you. They certainly wouldn’t want to make a scene, and they want you to lose back winnings. This is partly why casinos will give you a free room after big wins . . . they want you to stay longer so you are more likely to lose winnings. Not exactly banning you, is it?
Roulette computers are electronic devices that predict where the ball will land. Learn more about them at roulette-computers.com. The concept is not new. Roulette computers have been around for a long time and have won millions. This email provides details about the legalities of their use to win roulette.
Most people would tell you roulette computers are illegal, but most people have no real knowledge in the matter. The fact is laws between different jurisdictions are different. So what is illegal in one country may be perfectly legal in another. Another consideration is gambling law is STATE-BASED, not national. So even in the same country, roulette computers can be illegal in one state, but legal in another.
The Most Extensive Legal Research on Roulette Computers
As I manage the largest team of professional roulette computer players, I have obtained proper legal advice on the matter from my solicitor. Also many of my players have obtained their own legal advice, that I also have access to. This means I very well know the legalities of roulette computers. Ultimately roulette computers are legal in about half of jurisdictions.
In some jurisdictions like Las Vegas, they are highly illegal. But in the laws of most European countries, there is simply no reference to them or such technology. And when something is not specifically illegal, it is legal. It is impossible to be charged for breaking a law that doesn’t exist. This is not to say eventually European countries wont amend their laws to be more modern, but despite lobbying by many casinos to change laws, most governments don’t consider it to be a priority.
One example is laws in England. You may have heard of the Ritz team that won millions in 3 days using roulette computers. Although they were caught and arrested, they were not even charged because they had not broken any laws. After this incident, English laws were changed. But then gambling in England was deregulated, and roulette computers are now legal again there. In relation to the matter of roulette computers, the government specifically told the casinos that they would just need to “police” themselves by excluding players who used roulette computers. After all, casinos are private property and they can exclude anyone they want.
Remember that every casino has a policy that roulette computers are forbidden. But something being forbidden and something being illegal are very different things. I could forbid you to sneeze, but I can’t have you charged for it.
If you become one of my roulette computer players, you have access to the player-only forum at roulettephysics.com/forum where you can share legal research with other players, so you’ll know where they are legal. Plus I also give you the procedures to ask gaming authorities so you can conduct legal research without needing a lawyer.
What do casinos say about roulette computers?
Many of our players are ex-casino staff. And many of them know other casino staff and so on. So what do casino staff say about computers and how do they feel about them? . . . Simply that they know they exist and are being used, but they are rare enough to not be a serious issue (yet).
In other words, the casino staff know all about them but also understand no matter how a player may win, the casino’s best course of action is to simply be aware of such players, then apply countermeasures as explained in the previous issue. The perfect “countermeasure” to combat roulette computer players is for the casino to call no more bets earlier in the spin. This way the player doesn’t have time to measure the ball and rotor speed and then bet. But players can win a considerable sum before they are even noticed.
While betting after ball release is not at all uncommon, if you do it on every spin and win very often, this is a dead giveaway. So you don’t do it on every spin, and can remain undetected. Basically most casinos allow no more bets well after ball release. They do this because it speeds up the game and ultimately means more bets on the table, and more money for them. So it is standard casino procedure to allow late bets. But if a player is winning significant amounts with late bets, the casino can simply call no more bets earlier until the player loses or leaves. Then normal procedure can resume once the player has left. There is no banning, no bashing – just plain countermeasures. Again this is the reality IF a professional player is detected. So emphasis is on avoiding detection in the first place, and it is very easy even if you are betting late in the spin – you just don’t do it on every spin.
Roulette Computers for Sale
There are numerous roulette computers you can purchase, but most are either a scam or very simplistic. A simplistic roulette computer is no different to the free visual ballistics technique that this course explained. That’s because they do virtually exactly the same thing. So when roulette computer sellers try to tell you their devices are space-age NASA technology, it is just them trying to sell a product.
Despite roulette computers being legal in more than enough jurisdictions, they still take “balls” to use. Usually it is a little scary using them the first few times, but eventually it becomes very comfortable and you come to realize the casino staff are unlikely to do anything more than merely suspect you, and apply countermeasures. It’s a lot better than a 9-5 job for 30 years to pay a mortgage. If you have the “balls”, it is likely the easiest way you’ll ever find to make money.
A very detailed explanation about what roulette computers do is provided at www.roulette-computers.com/how-to-make/ and throughout the roulette-computers.com site. It also explains how to make your own for pennies. I also suggest see the roulette computer comparison page at www.roulette-computers.com/comparison.htm so you know the difference between a simplistic device that cannot beat modern wheels, to devices that have literally made millions. For the most powerful roulette computers to ever have existed, see roulette-computers.com and hybridroulettecomputer.com.
In previous issues you learned basic principles that make roulette predictable, and a basic system to predict spins. This issue explains how you can get free help from experienced players, and learn even more powerful free systems.
As you probably know, I operate numerous roulette roulette forums including www.vlsroulette.com, www.rouletteforum.cc and www.rouletteforum.net. These forums are many years old, and were most active when I never explained to members WHY their approach didn’t work. This is because the members kept trying a new system every day with the same approach, just packaged in a different way. And there are an infinite amount of ways to do the same thing, so the conversations were in perpetual circles.
But then I began explaining to members why their methods eventually failed. I created the page at http://www.roulettephysics.com/why-it-works/ although many people don’t care to read or understand it.
As more of the members understood why their easy but ineffective systems couldn’t win, the activity on the forums decreased although the productiveness of discussions increased. Most people still look for that incredibly easy system that takes seconds to learn but can make them millions. Although looking for such a system may be a waste of time, I do encourage such pursuits to a degree, because progress can’t be made without exploration and an open mind.
I don’t normally spend much time posting on forums, if you post a question at any of my forums, and email me directly to make sure I see it, then I will gladly respond in detail for you and others to see. Some additional information you may want to know includes:
* How to more quickly find suitable wheels: time is indeed money, and there are shortcuts that can save you days of scouting for suitable wheels.
* Quickly evaluating if the casino staff know about you, and taking appropriate action: once casino staff notice your consistent winning, they wont tolerate it and will do what they need to protect themselves. Understanding their behavior is important to sustained profits.
* Knowing when your system has lost effectiveness, and how to quickly fix problems: Mistakes with any professional method can lead to you making bets that avoid the winning number instead of hitting it, so you end up losing faster than with random bets. Not knowing how to adjust for changes is one of the most costly mistakes a professional player can make.
My players and partners sometimes attend the above forums, although they spend much more time at the player-only forum at www.roulettephysics.com/forum. Nevertheless, often my players are the members on other forums who respond with accurate advice, telling you how you can and can’t beat roulette.
The free basic visual ballistics method I provided in this course was “cutting-edge” and effective on most wheels, 20 years ago. Today is different and it is effective on only about 4% of wheels. However, my full system is effective on approximately 30% of modern wheels. You can still profit from the free system, but mostly it is a trial of what I teach.
Although generally I’m not a fan of visual ballistics because if you are going to bet after ball release, you are far better to use a roulette computer. It’s like comparing a bicycle to a car – one may be free to run, but the other is much quicker and easier.
Are more advanced visual ballistics methods better?
There are countless different visual ballistics methods. Sellers of such methods claim their methods are more accurate, but the reality is differences are insignificant, and here’s a few reasons why:
Firstly, the more accurate approaches are more difficult to apply, and this means you make more mistakes. Those mistakes reduce your accuracy. The result is you try harder without an increased edge.
And secondly, most of them require you to either have a consistent rotor speed, or to accurately estimate rotor speed. Without the help of a computer or timing device, it is too difficult to know the difference between a rotor spinning at 3500ms or 3000ms per revolution. Usually you can only comfortably know the difference within about 1000ms accuracy. The errors in your visual calculations and estimates cause errors in accuracy, and this again means that although you try harder with more advanced methods, your overall accuracy is not increased.
So in theory only, other visual ballistics methods are more accurate than the free method I provided. Of course though, if you become a master at more advanced methods, you can increase your accuracy. I can teach you these upon request. But the level of skill you’ll need is unrealistic for the average professional player. In the real world, it is critical that your system be easy and practical enough. While I teach my players a variety of methods that beat roulette, I always tell them to keep it simple and find a balance between the required accuracy and practicality. This is exactly what my JAA auto analysis software allows you to do in the simplest and most automated way possible.
You can get a free visual ballistics course by clicking the free trial link on roulettephysics.com. The free trial includes clear instructional videos that explain a simple visual ballistics method.
The method used in this particular lab test is about the equivalent of the FREE roulette system course (the visual ballistics course).
If you’ve done your research, you’d know that roulette is being beaten every day. And you’d know the casinos know about it, and try to detect professional players before they win too much. But If you just believe the first thing you read, you’ll get your experience from people that don’t know any better, and you’ll just assume roulette can’t be beaten.
The lab test report gives you greater insight into what casinos know about how players are beating them. The only systems that concern casinos are based on roulette wheel physics. This is because they are the only systems that work, although it doesn’t stop gamblers developing countless other systems that use ineffective approaches.
It comes back to the what I constantly tell members at my forums: “The only way to beat roulette is by increasing the accuracy of predictions. The only way to do this is with physics”.
In the last issue you learned what roulette really is. To recap, it is not a table – the betting table has nothing to do with roulette. And the only real roulette consists of a roulette wheel and ball. Nobody has ever made a living by playing RNG (software) roulette because it cannot be beaten. But many players have earned a living by playing on real wheels. No casino will care about your style of play on RNG roulette, but certain styles of play at a real roulette wheel may cause them to watch you closely. This should tell you something.
If you are looking for a system that beats even RNG roulette (a slot machine), I’m sorry but you can only beat real wheels. You can certainly waste time trying though. Most people want to hear otherwise, but the truth isn’t always popular.
Anyway let’s get started on lesson 2 . . .
Is Roulette Really “Random”?
When the ball is released, it does many revolutions before losing momentum, then falls onto the rotor (the part with pockets). It may hit some of the metal deflectors along the way (diamonds). It may bounce all over the place, or barely bounce at all. And of course you never know the ball and wheel speed, right? So who knows where that ball will land. I mean it’s just all random, right? Well, forget what you think you know about roulette. Forget what you saw on TV from some TV presenter that has probably never spent more than a day learning about roulette and is perhaps just reciting what another similar “professional” said. Let’s have a close look at whether or not roulette really is “random” . . .
The basic definition of random is “Having no specific pattern”. So does roulette really have no specific pattern?
The fact of the matter is nothing ever has “no specific pattern”, so nothing is “random”. People call things “random” when they don’t see or understand the “cause and effect”. In other words, events occur because of the variables that cause the event to happen. In the context of roulette, the roulette ball lands where it does because of real physical variables such as ball release speed, ball physical properties, wheel (rotor) speed and so on. This should be obvious, so the question is not whether or not roulette is “random”, but more whether or not we can determine the variables and predict the winning number with sufficient accuracy to overcome the casino’s “unfair payouts”.
Remember, the house edge is only a very small “unfair payout”, so you only need slight accuracy of predictions to overcome it and beat the casino in the long term.
Before I continue, remember my explanation of what the “house edge” is:
If you bet on number 32 for 37 spins, statistically you will win once where you are paid 35 units plus the original unit you wagered. So after 37 spins, you are left with 36 units. Now this is the critical part to understand . . . If the payouts were FAIR, the payout would be 36-1 which means that after the 37 spins, you would be left with 36 units + the 1 unit you wagered, which means you have broken even.
Having no accuracy of predictions (random) is a 1 in 37 prediction accuracy. So to break even, you need to achieve a 1 in 36 prediction accuracy. And to finally turn the odds in your favour, you need to predict where the ball will land with only 1 in 35 spins. This is easy to achieve.
In terms of player edge, it is incredibly easy to get a 3% edge with roulette – even on wheels other so-called professionals say are impossible to beat. If you think 3% is small, consider the casino’s edge against players is 2.7% and they make millions from it. Now take into account my full system will give you an edge between 5% to 30% on about 1/3rd of wheels, then you can understand why I tell players “the only limit to what you earn is what you can win without being noticed”. The free methods I’m teaching you in this course have indeed won millions, but they are still no comparison to my full methods in terms of effectiveness and practicality. Specifically the full system is much more accurate, and much easier to learn, and much easier to use. The automated software does the hard work for you as explained on my site. To become a player of my full methods, see www.roulettephysics.com/purchase/
By the legal definition, cheating at roulette relates to unlawful methods to win. These can land you a prison sentence. But there are several “legal ways to cheat roulette”, and it is impossible to be charged by police with such methods, because you aren’t breaking any laws. By saying “legal”, I mean the methods aren’t specifically illegal, but the casino will ban you if they catch you.
Gambling laws and jurisdiction
Firstly understand that gambling law differs between different jurisdictions, and gamblnig law is state-based. So even in the same country, what’s legal in one state may not be legal in another, and vice versa.
An example of legal and illegal cheating
In some states, cheating is defined as any method that alters or influences the outcome of a game. For example, using magnets to influence the winning number is clearly cheating. But if you use technology to merely predict the winning number, without influencing where the ball will land in roulette, then this isn’t cheating. Of course it depends on what the laws actually specify, or define as “cheating”. With this particular example, around half the jurisditions state you can’t influence the winning number, but not that you can’t merely predict it. This means often devices such as roulette computers are legal.
Does it mean the casino will allow you to use them? Certainly not. Because the casino is private property, and they have their own in-house rules, and they can ask you to leave for any reason they want.
The exception is casinos that are owned and run by the government. I wont go naming specific jurisdictions, but such casinos are forbidden from excluding anyone, unless there is good legal cause. So in such casinos, you can’t be banned for using something like a roulette compter that merely predicts spin outcomes. And you can’t be charged with a criminal offence.
It sounds a little too good to be true, but keep in mind no casino will ever tolerate a consistent winner. Decades ago when a particular professional player was winning hundreds of thousands all legally, the casino tried many things to make him lose. They tried moving wheels, speeding up spins and more, but it made no difference, besides a minor inconvenience. As a last resort, he was physically ejected from the casino. He then took the matter to court, and won. The casino had no choice but to allow him to play. Eventually though, they figured out how he was winning, and made his techniques too difficult to apply. So he had no choice but to play elsewhere. But since his name became widespread, he found it increasingly difficult to win without heat from casino staff.
This is just an example to highlight the fact that legal or not, casinos will do whatever they must to stop you from winning. They can’t profit unless most of the players lose. And they certainly don’t want some loose cannon player winning huge sums.
The illegal methods: How to cheat a roulette wheel
Wheel gaffing: This is basically modifying the wheel to make spins more predictable. It is illegal everywhere, except on casino cruise ships that are in international waters, where there are no gaming laws at all. A good example of this is loosening parts of the wheel so that the ball bounces less in specific areas. This creates a “deadening” of bounce, and it leads to wheel bias, where specific numbers will spin more than others. Normally a casino’s automated software will detect this bias, but only after thousands of spins. If you know where the deadened area is, you will be able to take advantage of it before the casino knows.
Magnetic balls: There have been very rare incidents where a magnetic ball is somehow swapped with the real ball. Then it’s behavior can be influenced with magnetic pulses. When I first heard of this, it seemed a little unlikely but was actually true, and I was contacted by a team that had done it for some time. They didn’t use actual magnets, otherwise the ball would stick to ordinary metallic objects. Instead, the ball contained a special coil with diodes. When the ball fell onto the rotor, the user would observe where they expected it would land. If it was expected not to land in the area they bet in, two parts would be activated. The first part would use magnetic induction to create an electric current in the ball’s coil. And another component would push the ball away from the wrong area to the area the players bet in. All this happened very quickly, so that it did not cause noticable interference with the casino’s electronic systems. Another team using similar equipment were caught, although not the player(s) I came to know.
Legal “cheating” methods
These methods are legal in some jurisdictions, and illegal in others:
Roulette computers: These are predictive devices. They don’t influence the winning number. Seewww.roulette-computers.com.
Wheel clocking: There are a few different meanings to the term “wheel clocking”, but it is not exclusively used for “taking timings” of the wheel and ball. Some such methods do use electronic devices to store data that would otherwise be too difficult to manage without electronic devices. Some gambling law is specific to the point where it will state electronic devices are forbidden, for the use of storing or projecting game outcomes. Around half of the gambling jurisdictions have such specific laws.
How can you cheat at roulette online?
If it is RNG (random number generator) roulette, then this isn’t real roulette. It’s a slot machine with computer animations of a roulette wheel. And you can’t beat slot machines, that is without actually interferring with the mechanical operation of the machine itself.
Can you cheat online roulette?
If you can’t access the wheel, then your options are fewer, but you still do have the option of roulette computers. But because of what we’ve done to online casinos that allow late betting, now most online casinos call no more bets much earlier. Still though, other methods are suitable for online roulette. But I’m referring to online roulette only where real wheels are used.
What is rapid roulette? Its definition varies throughout the world, but in most cases it is essentially a roulette wheel surrounded by numerous betting terminals. There is no physical roulette table, and you place your bets by using a touchscreen terminal in front of you.
The main reason the casinos tend to be favoring rapid roulette is because it is an efficient use of floorspace. Strictly speaking, floorspace in the casino is directly correlated to profit. And it most casinos, nothing is a better use of floorspace than a slot machine. But a casino full of slot machines would be boring for many people, so casinos need to provide a variety of games.
How to play rapid roulette
The procedures vary depending on where to play, although in most cases you simply sit at one of the chairs and insert your funds. Your account balance will be displayed on the betting screen. Then you can select the bet size by tapping on the unit size selector, and place bets by tapping the virtual bet table. In other words it’s just like playing at an online casino, where everything is done electronically, although the wheel is physically real.
Many casinos with rapid roulette have 30 or so chairs all sitting in front of a TV screen, and there is no physical roulette wheel. To a professional player, this is absurd because it is not roulette – it is a gigantic slot machine. The last time I went to a casino and saw this, I would have loved to have gone up to every person sitting in front of the terminal there, shook them around and slapped them telling them you cannot win there. But to be fair, there was a time where even I considered fancy roulette graphics to still be roulette. Looking back though, I have no idea what I was thinking.
Rapid roulette rules
The rules of rapid roulette are exactly the same as any other roulette. Again it is all just an electronic version. But the winning numbers are usually determined by a real physical wheel. At least this is how it begun, although the trend is changing as explained above. I do believe that there is a limit to how far the casinos will go with their implementation of electronic technologies. Put more simply, they will always be using real wheels because many players are smart enough to understand you can’t beat a slot machine, and essentially this is what the big screen rapid roulettes are. If you are looking for a rapid roulette strategy, consider the tips below.
Rapid roulette tips
1. If you can’t physically see the wheel, do not trust it. Sometimes rapid roulette does involve a real wheel, although it is not in your physical presence – you see only a supposedly live video feed of it.
2. If there is no physical roulette wheel, it is a slot machine and you cannot possibly beat it. Focus on real wheels only.
3. Get to know the wheel models and features from the manufacturer websites. This is because some of the later models may be real and physical, although they apply are variety of countermeasures that make application of professional methods more difficult. As per my other articles, it does not always eliminate the effectiveness of a roulette system – it is more of a deterrent. Some of these wheels do make winning virtually impossible, although the majority only slightly decrease profitability. But still where you have a choice, choose a wheel that will give you natural organic roulette spins, rather than being manipulated by hidden electronics. And on this note, gambling law almost always states that nothing can be used to influence the spin results. The technology I’ve discussed here does influence spin results, so it is actually illegal. The only reason the governments allow it is because they consider it an enhancement when it comes to unpredictability. Nevertheless, I feel as players are becoming more aware of this technology, they are losing trust in casinos playing by the rules, and this in turn loses them revenue although it would be difficult for them to gauge the losses.
Firstly you may be thinking that the ability to beat roulette consistently will mean money will fall from the sky without any effort. The truth of the matter is even an effective roulette system is work. But certainly a system that legitimately does beat roulette, if used correctly, can earn more than a standard job.
Can you beat roulette online?
About a third of my players only ever play an online casinos. This is because the obvious appeal of winning at roulette from the comfort of home. Another article I recently wrote addresses the pros and cons of applying professional roulette systems at online casinos. The basics of it are that you can do quite well at online casinos, although you have to understand no casino will tolerate consistent winners. So you need to either use multiple accounts was smaller winnings, or take larger amounts from if you are accounts.
But all this is with the assumption that you are playing on real physical roulette wheels that are viewed by web cam, and not the random number generator roulette. This will be further discussed below.
Can you beat Roulette RNG?
Legitimate techniques beat roulette, but RNG roulette is not roulette. It may look like it with those fancy animations, but essentially it is a slot machine. The only people ever to have won consistently at slot machines are people that use cheating devices such as the light wand. This is a device that blinds the coin counting mechanism in a slot machine, so that the machine doesn’t know when to stop paying out. That the whole other story. My point is that you can’t beat a slot machine with a system, and it is no different with RNG roulette. Suppose you are betting on animations of bouncing bunnies, instead of a roulette wheel – it would be no different.
Using maths to beat roulette
The great majority of roulette systems attempt to use mathematics to beat roulette. And without knowing it, the system designer usually attempts to find a way around the mathematical certainty. For example, on a European roulette wheel, there are 37 pockets, but the payout is unfair 35 to 1. So even if you win, you are still paid an unfair amount. So a win is still a loss. The only way around this is to increase the accuracy of your predictions. No maths is going to resolve this problem, unless pertains directly to increasing the accuracy of predictions.
In professional roulette system methods, of course mathematics is still involved, but in the correct way. For example, a proper statistical analysis.
Correct use of mathematics to analyse a roulette system would of course reveal whether or not a system is a legitimate long-term winner. A simple application of maths would be as follows:
Consider a situation where our player believed that after 10 Reds in a row, that black is most likely to spin next. This is an age old gamblers fallacy. The reality is even after 100 Reds in a row, the odds of red or black spinning next are essentially the same, of course assuming that there is in some physical defect of the wheel. If the player conducted a statistical analysis over enough situations where they believed the odds have changed, they would find they haven’t changed.
Testing thousands of spins in the real casino, if your system doesn’t beat roulette, will mean you will have lost large sums before finding out that your approach was incorrect. A simple roulette system tester is all you need to test hundreds of thousands of spins, whether they be from real for computerised spins.
Can you beat the roulette dealer
Beating the roulette dealer then running off with chips is a sure way to profit, but you’d better run fast before security catches you. But perhaps a method that doesn’t involve the police may be a better option if you want to develop a method to predict spins based on dealer behavior. This is called dealer signature and are basically revolves around the consistency of ball and wheel release speeds from the dealer. It is a viable method, although really in modern casinos unless you carefully incorporate other considerations. These will be discussed in a separate article. But if dealer signature interest you, I suggest subscribing to my free system, and participating in the “get it free” program where you receive my dealer signature system for free.
Can you beat roulette machines?
Roulette machines, otherwise known as automated roulette machines, are still roulette wheels although the ball is spun by a robot using an air compressor or magnet. With such wheels, physics is still involved although there is a greater element of randomness. Can you beat them? This all depends on the method you use to predict the spins. In most cases or rather with traditional advanced play methods, the inbuilt countermeasures from roulette machines do significantly reduce the players edge, and in many cases may completely eliminate edge. But in most cases they act more as a deterrent to professional players, and do not completely eliminate players edge. In this respect they act much like an alarm system on a house (with the flashing light box out front), where it may not keep a burglar out of your house, but will encourage a burglar to try elsewhere where conditions are easier.
If you are asking how can I very roulette, I suggest first understand that the only way to beat roulette is by increasing the accuracy of predictions. This is discussed in detail on many pages of my website.
Secondly, understand that the only way to increase the accuracy of predictions is through the use of roulette physics. Keep in mind that the only roulette systems that have ever been roulette in the long-term use physics. And the only roulette systems concern casinos and there surveillance staff are professional players that exploit roulette wheel physics. In the history of roulette there has been no exception. That is not to say that there will not be and eventually exception, but this is something to keep in mind if you are a practical kind of person.
Learn how to beat roulette
Learning how to beat roulette is not as complicated as it may first seem. Like any new information, it takes a little time to digest, until it becomes second nature to you. I suggest begin by subscribing to my free course at roulettephysics.com. The main part of the course teaches a method called visual ballistics, which is essentially estimating where the ball is most likely to land. And because the casinos house edge is only slight, you only need slight accuracy to overcome it and profit consistently.
This article explains simple truth so you know how to win at roulette, whether it be online or at real casinos. Very rarely is related advice provided by people with real experience. I’ve been playing roulette for over 15 years, and managing professional teams for over 5 years. Here I explain the truth about beating roulette so you can decide whether or not it’s for you. Really the life of a professional player is not for everyone. In fact most people don’t have the right mindset.
Can You Really Win at Roulette, or Are You Wasting Time?
The short answer is yes you can win, but you can’t beat all types of roulette and in all casinos. But before I continue, I’ll explain what should be obvious to anyone.
The Internet is full of self-professed experts who think they know about everything, including winning at roulette. You can find such people on forums, websites like Yahoo answers or just random comment threads. Next to none of these people have any experience with legitimate methods that beat roulette, so it should be no surprise they aren’t going to know what they’re talking about. They get their “expert knowledge” from other “experts” who similarly have no real experience, other than reading what some other “expert” said. You get the picture. It’s the same case with virtually any topic on the Internet; a bunch of people who really know nothing.
Who Can Reliably Answer The Question: Can Roulette Be Beaten?
When I say “beaten”, I mean real winnings over extended periods of time. I don’t mean lucky wins or short-term play.
Probably the most obvious people to ask about winning roulette would be casino staff. After all, they spend a lot of time around roulette wheels. However, their job is not to study the wheel and ways to beat it. When it comes to someone like a dealer, they’ll mostly just spin the wheel. If you have your own wheel at home, the chances are you’ll have spun the wheel more times than a typical dealer. Having experience with a wheel certainly helps to understand the physics involved, but it is more keen observation that can uncover clues relating to the predictability of spins. I’ll explain more about this later.
If roulette was being “consistently” beaten, you’d expect that casino staff would at least have come across consistently winning players. In the past 15 or so years, I’ve come to meet and know many casino employees including dealers, pit bosses and even casino owners. Of course different individuals have different knowledge, but the general attitude towards the concept of beating roulette is as follows:
Dealers: Most dealers believe roulette can be beaten, but only under strict and rare conditions. For example, they may consider “wheel bias”. This is essentially when there is a physical defect of the wheel that makes certain numbers win more than others.
Sometimes, dealers have heard of other methods like electronic devices (roulette computers), but they only have a very vague understanding of the conditions under which such technology is effective. Sometimes a casino consultant has been hired by their casino, and provided a training course to help them spot professional roulette players. But rather than it be a proper course, it is more of a crash course explaining the very basics.
Overall, most dealers only have a very vague understanding of legitimate methods to beat roulette. Generally they know it’s possible, but don’t expect they’ll ever encounter a professional player. What they usually see is a constant stream of losing players at their table.
Pit bosses: these are the serious-looking people that usually oversee a group of 2-4 roulette wheels at a time. They do everything from handle any disputes, communicate with surveillance about whatever, and generally make sure all the dealers are doing their job and that everything runs smoothly.
When it comes to understanding roulette prediction, they rarely have significantly better knowledge than the dealers. Again they know roulette can be beaten under the right circumstances, but they also know for every 1,000 players you see, you’d be lucky for even one of them to have a method that is a threat to the casino’s money.
Casino owners: Many owners have very little knowledge about their own games. They tend to view the casino as a revenue source and investment at a very different level. After all, it’s not their job to be on the gaming floor – their job is more confined to a board room. But for smaller casinos where the boss takes a more “hands-on” approach, the owner again has not much more knowledge than a common dealer. More importantly, they will at least be aware of the risk of professional players. They call them “advantage players”. They know they exist. They know very well even individual professional players have taken casinos for many millions. But their perspective is at a much higher level, and professional players are seen more as an accepted hazard, not without measures to deal with them. Kind of like an annoying bee that can do harm, but aren’t difficult to squish once you know about them.
It’s also much like a retail store that may make $1M in sales each year, but $10,000 is lost each year due to theft. In other words, the retail store knows it’s almost impossible to stop 100% of theft. Technically they could stop 100%, but it would mean taking measures that would make honest customers feel uncomfortable, and this alone may lose more revenue than they save. So all the retail store can do is follow the best procedures to limit the losses from thieves. This is how a casino boss often view “advantage players”.
Evidence That Roulette Can Be Beaten
You’d think that if someone could beat roulette, that it would make headlines and they’d win the Nobel Prize. Actually the truth is winning at roulette isn’t rocket science – it’s more about using the right approach for the right wheel and conditions as I’ll explain later. Anyway I’ll refer to four particular high profile cases of roulette players winning fortunes:
Joseph Jagger: You may have heard the song “The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo”. This was the first record of anyone exploiting roulette wheel bias. In today’s money, he earned millions. The casino staff couldn’t figure out how he was winning. Eventually, they changed the wheels (or rather a part of the wheel relating to the defect) and he didn’t notice. This inevitably changed the patterns he was following, and he lost much of his winnings. He still walked away with a fortune.
Pelayo family: This is a family of Spanish players who also exploited roulette wheel bias. Despite the history and what happened with Joseph Jagger, the casino staff still had no idea how the Pelayo family was winning. They could not lawfully ban them, so they started changing the conditions at the wheel. For example, they tried speeding up the wheel spins. But this actually helps wheel bias players because the parts that cause the bias are more likely to influence ball behaviour, resulting in a statical anomaly (the bias). Eventually the Pelayo family were illegally and physically removed from the casinos they were winning at, so they were forced to play elsewhere. But they had become so well known that it was near impossible for them to continue winning discretely. They began with a bankroll of about $2000, and profited around $1,000,000. See the video below.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=jnueFebjveE
Laszlo Kovacs: This happened a few years ago in Star City casino in Australia. He used an electronic device (roulette computer) to calculate the speed of the wheel and ball and predict where the ball is most likely to land. He won about $200,000 before the casino staff noticed he was winning a little too often. But according to casino staff, what initially gave him away was the tapping of his foot, not his winnings. He was tapping his foot because a hidden button in his shoe was pressed when the ball and green zero completed revolutions (to measure speeds). Laszlo was charged with casino cheating under Australian law, but was deported without being convicted, and was allowed to keep his winnings.
Ritz team: This happened a few years ago too. A team of 3 professional players win over US$2M in 3 days. Nobody but the players themselves know what technology they used, although they were caught with various mobile phones and electronic devices. Based on reports from casino staff who reviewed the footage of them winning, their behaviour and bets were consistent with roulette computer application. These are the devices also used by Laszlo Kovacs. The team was allowed to keep their winnings because they had not broken any law. These devices continue to he LEGAL in the UK and many other parts of the world. But legal or not, casinos will of course do what they must to stop you winning. So you need to use them very discretely. See the TV documentary about the team at the video below:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=zOivlYqAIZk
There have actually been many other cases in the news. And certainly far more cases do not make the headlines. To summarize, basically there is enough evidence to support that even the casinos know roulette can be beaten. But mostly the casino staff don’t understand it. However, they do they “need” to understand it – they only need to monitor for consistently winning players, then take whatever action is appropriate to stop casino losses.
What Does and Doesn’t Work?
It’s important to note that with all the known methods that have worked and even made headlines, the physics of the roulette wheel was involved. As far as I’m aware, there has never been a case where a player has won millions over sustained and long-term periods of play without using physics. Certainly players have won millions with sheer luck. But I’m referring to methods that have repeatable success.
The common factors of the effective methods:
* Real roulette wheels only
* Roulette wheel physics
* Inside bets based on sectors of the wheel
I’m not aware of any legitimately effective method that beats roulette, without all of the above factors.
How Can You Win At Roulette Today?
Roulette is not much different from how it was 6-8 years ago. But it’s quite different to how it was 50+ years ago. Naturally, as casinos learn about how roulette is beaten, they will do what is reasonable to limit losses from professional players. Again they presently can’t do this fully without losing revenue. For example, to prevent roulette computer users from measuring the ball speed and betting late, the dealer can call no more bets earlier. This will stop a roulette computer player from winning. But it will also stop the average losing player from placing late bets that lose. For every 1 roulette computer player, there may be 50,000 normal players. So it is not viable for casinos to fully forbid late bets.
To limit losses to professional roulette players (advantage players), casinos rely on:
* Detecting consistent winners, then applying countermeasures (like forbidding late bets) until the consistent winner either loses or leaves. Then the casino can resume normal procedures.
* Using roulette wheels and technology that makes roulette spins less predictable.
There are far more undetected professional players than those who are detected. So for professional players, avoiding detection is mostly a matter of not being greedy and winning more modest amounts.
As for modern roulette wheel technology: there’s no doubt that wheels are getting harder to beat. But it is actually much harder to design a wheel with completely unpredictable spins than it is to develop a method which at least slightly increases the accuracy of the player’s winning number predictions. And to overcome the casino’s typical small edge of -2.7% is not at all difficult – it only requires the roulette player to only have slightly better than random accuracy when predicting the winning number. In suitable conditions, this is not at all difficult to achieve. This is the key to winning at roulette.
If you do proper research, you’ll understand that it is not only possible to win at roulette, it is being done every day. But keep in mind for every consistent winner, there are likely tens of thousands of players who lose with a system that has no chance of winning in the long term. It makes sense that if you are trying to beat roulette, you should start with what has historically already shown to work. This doesn’t mean your current approach, whatever it may be, will not also be successful if developed further. Also keep in mind many people have even committed suicide because they couldn’t beat this game. But you can be sure such people were looking at the wrong approaches. Blindly trying to do the impossible will drive anyone insane. Trying to do the possible, with proper and logical approaches, makes more sense.
If you spend years using the same approaches used by millions of players, you are going to lose. But if you don’t want to look at the physics of the roulette wheel, then at least try something that nobody has tried before. If you are not trying to be a pioneer and just want a roulette strategy that works, then the application of physics-based roulette systems (advantage play) may be what you’re looking for.
But a word of warning: don’t expect to beat all wheels in all conditions. None of the methods that have worked previous or today have ever been effective on every wheel. In all known cases, the players had to search for suitable wheels and conditions. The prevalence of suitable wheels mostly depends on the method you use – you will find that specific approaches may work on perhaps only 5% of wheels. Whereas other approaches may be successful on far more wheels (30-50%).
Other than using roulette computers, the overall best methods I have developed to beat roulette will beat approximately 35% of modern wheels in real casino conditions. But this doesn’t mean you will obliterate the casino with 35% of their wheels. It means of the 35% of wheels, you will overcome the normal edge against you which is -2.7%. In typical conditions, the edge you will achieve is between +5 to +15%. So on average, around a +10% edge. This may not seem like much, but consider a -2.7% edge is all a casino needs to often make hundreds of thousands from a single wheel in one night. An edge of over 50% is not uncommon with roulette computers. But despite their larger edge, professional players have serious disadvantages such as the casino being able to simply ban players for any reason. So you can’t just win millions overnight. Well you can, but expect to be noticed. If you have a more modest bankroll, you need to win much more discrete amounts. How much is ok to win? It depends on the table. But say if the minimum inside bet is just $5, then the most you should take from the table is $500 or so. Or if the minimum is $50, then generally winning $5,000 in one session is ok (provided you don’t repeat it too often and in the presence of the same casino staff). This is just a rough guide though, and there are many variables that determine what is “covert” to win.
Winning and avoiding detection is one thing. But the biggest roadblock for professional players is time. More specifically, most people don’t have the will or patience to spend in casinos for many hours. It can quickly become very boring and tiring. The boredom can lead to costly mistakes.
I once spoke to the director of one of the largest and best-known roulette wheel manufacturers. He and his colleague spoke candidly about the viability of beating their wheels. They stated something to the effect that “Yes we know wheels can be “clocked” (their word for ‘beaten”). We know all about it”. They spoke rather defensively as if I was attempting to somehow expose them. I was actually just looking to purchase a new roulette wheel, which they refused because they were aware of who I was, and my intentions to study it. On another occasion I spoke to their chief wheel designer, who is also well aware just about any wheel can be beaten in the right conditions. The manufacturer websites neglect to explain to their clients (casinos) how easily beaten many modern roulette wheels are, but the wheel manufacturers at least do have knowledge. Again although wheels are getting more difficult to beat, to create a wheel that produces truly random and unpredictable spins would be extremely difficult and costly, and perhaps not viable considering it is not difficult for casinos to identify a player who is consistently winning hundreds of thousands, which is what it would take to significantly impact the income of most casinos.
How Much Time Do Professional Methods Take To Use?
Roulette computers are by far the quickest, but you still may need to dedicate 4hrs or more just getting enough data for one wheel. Some players may consider this far too time consuming and absurd. A roulette computer user would consider the notion of 8 hours work from 9am-5pm for day after day for around $150/day, then paying 35% tax, to be closer to insanity.
But excluding roulette computers, a good professional method to win roulette consistently (that can earn a living) may take around 20 hrs per week. This again may seem absurd to some people, but consider this is around half the time as a normal job, but it can pay much better if done right.
If you are considering becoming a professional roulette player, understand that while it is not uncommon for players to win hundreds of thousands or even millions, this level of income (with modest bet size) requires time and dedication, just like any other job. But the average player doesn’t play full-time. The average player keeps their normal job, and plays roulette part-time or whenever the need arises for an income boost. In any event, if you expect to consistently win money from roulette, you will need to use an approach much more sophisticated than “doubling bets” after losses.
If you don’t like the idea of using physics to win roulette, perhaps read http://www.roulettephysics.com/why-it-works/ which explains why most methods fail, and why physics may be the only approach that works. Whatever systems you are using, CONSIDER THE WORKING PRINCIPLE you are attempting to apply, and test it thoroughly.
In previous issues you learned the only real roulette consists of a physical roulette and ball. You also learned that the house edge is simply an “unfair payout”, and to overcome it and beat roulette consistently, you need to predict where the ball will land with only slightly better than random accuracy. Now I’ll to explain some of the actual principles that make roulette spins predictable. Remember though, you can never know exactly which number will spin 100% of the time, but you don’t need to. You only need to be right enough of the time to overcome the unfair payouts (house edge), and it is not at all difficult.
The Principles That Make Roulette Spins Predictable
Most people consider roulette spins to be totally random. But the truth is it’s nearly impossible to design a roulette wheel that generates truly unpredictable spins. This is why roulette wheel designers constantly modify their designs. After all, a significant amount of players understand and exploit the vulnerabilities that make spins predictable enough for sustained profit. While wheels have become more difficult to beat, they are still governed by the same laws of physics, and will likely always be “beatable”.
On their websites, wheel designers claim their wheels generate “highly random” spins. After all, they’re selling something. But behind closed doors, they acknowledge that even brand new wheels exhibit long term predictable patters that can be exploited. I’m not talking about defective (biased) wheels that lead to certain numbers spinning more than others. I’m talking about predictable patterns on any new or old wheel.
Below I’ll explain some of the basic principles that make spins predictable. It is nowhere near an exhaustive list. Keep in mind the income of professional players relies on keeping certain secrets from casinos, so I can’t reveal everything. On this note, on my site I explain how my players can use my full system without risk of leaks, but here I’ll stick to the topic:
Dominant Diamonds
Diamonds are the metal deflectors situated around the wheel. For each direction, note which diamonds are hit by the ball. You will notice on almost every wheel, the ball hits some diamonds more than others. These are called “dominant diamonds”, and they are caused by a combination of factors including:
i. Wear and tear on the ball track (where the ball rolls): Unless the casino rotates the wheel on every spin (no chance), it is inevitable that the dealer’s release of the ball will “roughen” the ball track at the point of release. This causes imperfections on the ball track which is coated in a type of hard plastic. In fact even NEW wheels have sufficient ball track imperfections.
ii. Wheel not levelled: the table that holds the wheel only needs to be very slightly uneven, and the wheel will exhibit dominant diamonds. International government laboratories have conducted official studies for the casino communities and found that for there to be significant dominant diamonds, a wheel only needs to have one edge 1-2mm higher than the other.
Given that casino staff level a wheel with imprecise manual equipment, and there are always ball track imperfections even on new wheels, it is very rare for a wheel to not have significant dominant diamonds. Dominant diamonds are not “random”. And anything that is not random on the wheel inevitably contributes to the predictability of roulette spins.
Ball Bounce and Scatter
When the ball falls from the ball track, exactly what it will do on that spin is uncertain. But let’s say over numerous spins you monitor how the ball behaves when it falls from the ball track. Check perhaps 30 or so spins, and you will notice the various type of ball falls such as below:
BALL FALL TYPE A: on 10 spins the ball hits dominant diamond solidly then comes to rest on the number 5-6 pockets from the number that was beneath the diamond when the ball hit the diamond. For future reference, let’s call this particular number “number A”. Carefully read this part again so you understand.
BALL FALL TYPE B: on 5 spins the ball just ‘clips’ dominant diamond, then hits the next diamond before falling and bouncing 8-10 pocketsBALL FALL TYPE C: on 8 spins the ball hits a diamond other than the dominant diamond
BALL FALL TYPE D: on 5 spins the ball misses all diamonds and bounces very erratically
BALL FALL TYPE E: on 2 spins the ball falls from the ball track, then runs several times around the rotor rim before even hitting any pocket.
Let’s just assume Types B,C,D & E result in completely unpredictable ball behavior. This does not matter because we still have 10 occurrences of TYPE A where the ball falls in a reasonably predicable way. This is where we get that slight increase in accuracy we need.
Now let’s say we knew a way to predict which number will be under the dominant diamond when the ball falls. Perhaps you see where this is heading. Let’s recap and put each of the above parts together:
So out of 30 spins, you can’t accurately predict the winning number even if you know where the ball will fall from the ball track. But on 10 of the spins, you can. And with a reasonably high degree of accuracy. We don’t care about the other 20 spins, because with the 10 spins we will still have enough accuracy to overcome the unfair payouts (house edge). This is absolutely critical to understand.
The next issue will teach you actual prediction methods you can begin to use for profit. I am teaching you basic methods for free because because I want you to see for yourself what I teach are legitimately effective techniques. Some professionals charge thousands to teach you much the same methods that I’m teaching for free. But the free methods are nowhere near as powerful as my full system.
In the previous issue, you learned some of the basic principles that make roulette spins predictable. You can easily test the principles explained for yourself to know without a doubt they are legitimate. After all, that’s why I’m teaching you this – so you can test it for yourself and know for yourself, rather than just take my word for it.
Getting Predictions Before “No More Bets” is Called
To explain this part, I’ll use video demonstrations. You may have already seen the first video but the other videos are only available to subscribers of this free course.
Video 1: Principles that Make Roulette Predictable, and Introduction to “visual ballistics techniques
Video 2: Getting predictions early enough to place bets
These videos explain all you need to know for this issue. It covers a basic “visual ballistic” method.
You may or may not have been aware of such “visual ballistics” techniques. There are in fact an enormous variety of visual ballistics methods, but they all do much the same thing. Generally the more accurate they are, the more difficult they are to apply.
While I do teach a variety of visual ballistic methods, I generally consider visual ballistics comparatively a waste of time. I have developed much better methods to beat roulette, without the need for electronic devices, and without the need to bet after the ball is released. I believe if you want to bet after ball release, you are far better off using a roulette computer device in jurisdictions where it is legal (see www.roulette-computers.com). My full roulette system is primarily applied with bets BEFORE the ball release, so it is much easier to use, overall more profitable, and importantly much more covert so you can win more without drawing attention from casino staff. Learn how to use my full system and join the largest team of professional roulette players at www.roulettephysics.com/purchase/
In the previous issue, you learned a basic visual ballistics method to predict where the ball will land. Similar techniques have won millions, which is why casinos consider them a serious threat. In this issue I’ll introduce you to electronic devices called “roulette computers”, and they make the application of “ballistic” methods much easier. The below explains the basics of roulette computers.
Roulette Computers Vs Visual Ballistics
To recap, visual ballistics involves simply determining when the ball is at a specific target speed. Then you take the reference number (number A). The technique I taught is extremely simple and can determine how many ball revolutions remain in the spin, within an accuracy of about 1 revolution. There are even better methods, but the one I’ve explained is easy to learn. To refresh your memory, see below:
Video 1: Principles that Make Roulette Predictable, and Introduction to “visual ballistics techniques
Typical roulette computers do exactly the same thing as visual ballistics, but they do it with slightly more accuracy. So for example, in the videos above you will have noticed sometimes my prediction was inaccurate by 2 ball revolutions. Most were accurate to the exact revolution.
If we tested the same 10 spins with both a basic roulette computer and visual ballistics, a chart showing the difference in accuracy would look like below. Basically 0 is “perfect”, +1 is one revolution off-target, and +2 is 2 revolutions off-target. Put in simpler terms, the lower the number, the better:
0 = Correct revolution
+1 = Inaccurate by 1 revolution
+2 = Inaccurate by 2 revolution

We can see the roulette computer is only marginally more accurate than clumsily estimating when the ball is at the same speed between spins. Even with a roulette computer, we still have errors because of factors such as:
1. The ball and ball track has imperfections, so the distance the ball will roll often varies, even from the point the ball is at the same speed.
2. Basic roulette computers rely on the user to “click” a button each time the ball passes the diamond. This takes timings of the ball, and determines the ball speed. This is subject to about 50ms error for each timing. Visual ballistics players are accurate to within around 150ms which is only a fraction of a second worse.
To learn more about how roulette computers work, the mathematics and algorithms behind them, and how to make one yourself, see http://www.roulette-computers.com/how-to-make/ and information below.
Basic Roulette Computers and What They Do
Level 1 Roulette Computer (simplest possible computer): The most basic roulette computer possible is called a “thumper”. It is just a small device that vibrates every second or so. It is simply a “beat keeper”. It can be used many ways, one of which is just feeling the “thumps” every second and waiting for the ball’s speed to match the timing of the thumps. I give such devices to my players for free. One particular roulette computer seller sells a similar kind of device for an incredible $2000. He calls it the “radical computer” and claims it has countless features such as being able to adjust for ball deceleration rate changes, but is nothing more than a dressed up “thumper”. This particular seller is as manipulative as they get. Anyone can make a similar device for pennies, call it the best roulette computer ever, then sell it for thousands.
Level 2 (still very basic, but slightly better than level 1): This is a roulette computer where the player clicks a button to take timings of the ball as it passes the diamond until the interval between the clicks reaches the “target ball speed”. Then it vibrates to let you know you need to look for the reference number (Number A). I give this kind of roulette computer for free to players who use the full roulettephysics.com system..
Level 3: This type of computer does the same thing as a level 2 computer, but also allows the player to take timings of the wheel (rotor). This makes the computer slightly more accurate when the rotor is at different speeds between spins. This is the most common type of roulette computer that vendors sell on the Internet, and despite claims from sellers, they are only marginally more accurate than visual ballistics because they only do marginally more than basic visual ballistics. Put simply, they only determine when the ball has reached the target speed, and the rotor position when the ball is expected to complete its last revolution. Again it is only marginally better than visual ballistics. Level 3 roulette computers typically cost between $1500 – $5000. Considering that visual ballistics gives you must the same accuracy, and visual ballistics is legal everywhere, you are usually better off learning visual ballistics.
Level 4 Roulette Computer: These computers do more than just the basics explained above. Where other computers achieve no accuracy on modern wheels, these computers achieve a high and stable edge. Examples of such computers are at www.roulette-computers.com and www.hybridroulettecomputer.com – these are computers I develop. They account for ball deceleration rate changes that occur due to variables such as air pressure and weather changes. They also adjust not only different wheel rotor speeds, but also the different types of bounce on different rotor speeds. They are also capable of targeting specific diamond hits, and utilize optional features to give predictions only when the ball is likely to bounce in the most predictable way.
My most advanced roulette computers a hidden camera and image recognition technology to automatically measure ball and wheel rotor speeds, which is a very different thing from manually clicking a button to take timings. See part of this device tracking the wheel and ball location in the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdFHGuV1vFc – this technology is very different to the average computers.
My roulette computers are by far the quickest and most effective method to beat roulette. They are legal to use in roughly half of casinos, but even where they are legal, casinos reserve the right to ban players using them. They are the ultimate portable business that have changed the lives of many players. But as their price tag is prohibitive for many people, the full roulettephysics.com roulette system with JAA software is a more popular option for players looking to earn a living from roulette. It is just as profitable as the roulette computers with the only downside being it takes longer to apply than the computers.
Unscrupulous sellers of other roulette computers will tell you anything they must to convince you that their device is best. I suggest never take anything they say at face-value. Because their manipulation is so widespread, you need to carefully consider information if you are interested in purchasing a roulette computer that is capable of beating modern wheels in real casino conditions. Ask sellers the right questions, including myself, and approach every answer with skepticism. You will find eventually the one who is lying will either contradict themselves, find an excuse to avoid the question, or give a vague answer that doesn’t make sense.
To help clear up myths about my roulette computers, occasionally I conduct public demonstrations where anyone can attend and witness my technology, and technology from other roulette computer sellers. See the video recording from one of the previous public demonstrations at http://www.roulette-computers.com/videos/ where I demonstrated a 93% win rate covering 15 numbers. This is a win on almost every spin, on a modern roulette wheel with very early predictictions.
Most people think the primary factors that determines where the ball will land is the speed of the (wheel) rotor and ball release. And that because release speeds can’t be predicted with any reasonable accuracy before the spin begins . . . or can they?
Most roulette players will say “no”, and most players would be wrong. The more experienced players would state roulette spins can be predicted before ball release if the wheel is defective, leading to certain numbers spinning more than others. This is known as wheel bias, and it’d more common than you think. But bias analysis is a comparatively slow and impractical method to beat roulette. There are much quicker, more effective and much more practical methods to beat roulette . . . and they don’t rely on wheel defects. Also you don’t need thousands of spins to analyze. Before I explain more about them, I need to get something off my chest . . .
You only stop learning when you think there is nothing left to learn
This part may seem out of context, but you’ll have to bare with me. Understanding the science behind my full system may change your perception of reality. This is because it involves principles that occur in the wheelwork of nature.
Beating roulette for me began as a method to “make money”, but in combination with my energy research, it led me into areas of “awareness” that I never expected. And it all means much more than mere money. Sure I can just teach you “how to make money with roulette”. I can teach you to push a button on software and profit without even understanding why it works. But if you would rather understand the HOW’s and the WHY’s, this and the next issue is for you . . .
Much of the gambling community are ignorant to the fact that every day my roulette players achieve devastatingly accurate predictions on modern wheels in new condition. Most casino staff would tell you its simply impossible. And did you know the Earth was once flat too, and mathematics was witchcraft?
And now you’re probably thinking “oh but predicting roulette is different, because it is all based on wheel and ball speed”. And besides, lots of “experts” say roulette cant be beaten with predictions before the wheel spins, right?
Let me ask you this . . . do you think the people that burnt mathematicians at the stake were utterly convinced they knew best? . . . are you open to the possibility that right now, you could be just as wrong about something as those people were? . . .
Let me introduce you to some of my favorite quotes:
“Condemnation without investigation is the highest form of ignorance.“
– Albert Einstein
“Of all the frictional resistance, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance, what Buddha called ‘the greatest evil in the world.'”
– Nikola Tesla
“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.“
-Arthur Schopenhauer
“True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.”
Socrates
If you think you always know best and that there is nothing for you to learn, this is where you stop learning. You only continue to learn if you understand there is much more to to learn.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying don’t be skeptical. It is healthy to have skepticism. I’m just saying approach this with an open mind, think for yourself, then ask the right questions. This will lead you to the truth. But if you prefer to base your opinions from somewhere or someone else, then you are wasting both of our time. I fully expect and encourage all the questions you have, and will gladly answer them in detail but first please thoroughly read my sites as the answers you want are probably already there.
I’m telling you this because I have the luxury of not needing to sell anything to live comfortably, and can afford to choose who I want to work with. I have no time for ignorant people, but have ample time for people with open minds, without the delusion that their perception is always accurate. And if you are ignorant and unwilling to challenge your comfortable perception of reality, this is not for you because you wont be open to learning new things.
In this issue I’ll explain in plain English some of the principles that make it possible to accurately predict where the ball will land, even before the wheel is spun. Of course I need to keep the major parts of my system secret. And besides to succeed with my system you don’t need to know “everything” – you only need to use the automated software that does all analysis for you. Additionally, even if I did release all secrets, most people wouldn’t understand them anyway, and the people who would understand them may either be casinos who that use it against players, or people that claim they made the discoveries themselves.
So I will give examples everyone can relate to. The purpose of this is so you can understand what many people perceive as random is actually predictable. Still you may find some of the information difficult to fully digest as it involves some primordial physics of the universe, so you need a deeper understanding for some of it to make sense. Keep in mind I’ve been studying this for 20 years so I don’t expect everyone to grasp it.
The Rubber Ball Experiment
Google “ball unpredictable bounce”, then check the Images. You’ll many oddly shaped balls like the one left. This particular ball is for dogs. It bounces erratically and is fun for dogs to chase.
Now let’s say you had no idea what the ball looked like, and your aim was to predict where it will bounce. All you knew was the successive trajectories and distances of bounces. To simplify, you knew nothing about the ball except “how it bounced”.
To an ignorant observer, the bounce would be perceived as plain unpredictable and “random”, so it wouldn’t be possible to know with any degrees of certainly where the ball will bounce.
But someone who properly studied the ball’s bounce (let’s call them the “keen observer”) would notice there are particular patterns of bouncing that occur. For example, they will notice sometimes the ball bounces on a “reflective trajectory” as if the ball were perfectly “round”. But sometimes the ball does a kind of “double bounce” right at the ground before bouncing up higher again. Sometimes there’s just a single bounce, but the rebound is not “mirrored” which indicates the ball is not perfectly round.
After a few bounces, the ignorant observer will have given up and assumed that predicting the bounce was simply impossible. But the keen observer will notice that although they can’t yet predict exactly how the ball will bounce, there are still consistencies in how the ball behaves, and this helps us prediction where the ball will bounce next. Specifically based on previous bounces, we may be able to predict where the ball is LEAST likely to bounce, and where the ball is MOST likely to bounce.
For example, we may notice when the ball hits the ground with great force, there is never more than “two close successive bounces”. But if the ball does a bit of a roll, it kind of “tumbles” along in reasonably predictable way . . . and there are certain predictable trajectories the ball will or will not take, so there is actually ample predictable behavior we didn’t initially see. Read the last sentence again and think about it.
So now the keen observer is getting an idea of the general shape of the ball, and this offers clues for predicting the bounce. Below are some diagrams to help you visualize what the “keen observer” notices. To keep things simple, we’ll draw the ball as a 2 dimensional cross-section:
The Double Bounce
Ball does a short double-bounce (almost like a “tumble”) before bouncing higher again. This type of bounce happens very frequently, so there are likely multiple protrusions on the ball.
The Single Bounce
Ball does a variety of single bounces. Even when the initial trajectory is the same, the rebound trajectory is different. But very importantly, the difference between the entry and exit trajectories are always, always within certain ranges. Read the last sentence again, which is also very important.
These “ranges” and our knowledge of gravity and the trajectory of falling objects gives us a very good idea of various ANGLES on the ball and its appearance. We may only have a vague idea, but do we need to know its precise appearance to predict it’s possible trajectories? . . .
The Tumble
This type of a bounce is more of a “tumble”. The initial ball trajectory is very shallow. We will consider the ball bounce trajectories from a side and top view as in the below images. I’ve colour-coded each segment so it’s easier to follow. From the side perspective, it is similar to what we’d expect if the ball was perfectly round, except that rather than a uniform decay of bounce height, some of the later bounces are higher than previous ones.
From the top view we can see the behaves very differently to a perfectly round ball.
Now if you saw a video of the ball tumbling like this, but with the actual ball blacked out so you couldn’t properly see its shape, you would instinctively have an image in your mind of the general shape of the ball. But humans are remarkable subconscious calculators, and modelling similar estimations in a computer program is very different.
The examples I’ve provided above are part of how my full system models the interaction between the roulette ball and wheel. Except the modelling process for roulette wheels is far more complex and has taken over a decade to develop. Keep in mind it does not matter that wheel and ball speeds vary. The relationship can still be modelled with sufficient accuracy to overcome the casino’s unfair payouts (house edge).
Modelling the Relationships
The point of the above example is so you understand what may first seem random is not random at all. In the case of the rubber ball, clearly the more bounces we observe, the more data we have to create a “model” of the ball.
Now imagine a computer program that took into account the trajectory of a falling object due to gravity (this is known to science), and the angles between each ball trajectory after bouncing. Every bounce we observed gave us a better idea of the ball’s shape and features . . . and once we have modelled the ball, we can better predict its behavior.
In the rubber ball example, we assumed the ground was perfectly flat and made from a uniformed and hard material. Nevertheless, essentially we just modelled a simple relationship between the ball and ground.
My roulette system applies the same principles to the roulette ball and wheel. Certainly the relationship between a roulette wheel and ball is much more complex than in the rubber ball example, but the principles are exactly the same (there are many more “variables” than just the wheel and ball but I’ll explain that later). Understand that when I say “relationship”, I’m talking about correlation. I’m talking about how one thing affects and interacts with the other. And once such relationships are modelled, you can use one thing to predict the other. It is an illusion that variation of ball and wheel speeds is critical, because the wheel and ball will almost always be released at speeds within the same speed ranges. I cannot over-emphasise how paramount this is to understand.
Energy interactions
Firstly, as is now evident from modern research of our universe, we are beginning to discover the universe is not just slightly different to how we “perceive” it to be . . . it is vastly different to how we perceive it. A simplistic way to explain it is “everything is energy”. Yes most of us know Einstein’s equation of E=MC^2 that indicates matter and energy are the same thing. Yet we don’t hold an everyday object and think of it for what it actually is. To us, a rock is just a rock. But in reality it is a sea of vibrating and living energy in constant motion.
Now for something you may find hard to swallow . . . your perception that ball and rotor speeds are mainly what contributes to where the ball lands is somewhat of an illusion. Yes these variables are part of it, but there is so much more to it. So WHY does the ball really land where it does? . . .
The ball lands where it does because of the relationship between the wheel, the ball, and other variables. And regardless of how you perceive it, the wheel speed, wheel itself, the ball, the dealer, the air around it all . . . it is still ultimately just an interaction between energy that occurs within known variables including what you perceive to be “random” ball and wheel speed ranges.
Simple and elegant, just like our universe at its core. Perhaps even mundane if not fully understood. And yes, it is “cause and effect” as I mentioned in earlier issues. But now perhaps you have a deeper understanding of what I mean by it.
Applying the knowledge to beat roulette
Again regardless of your perception, the winning number is the result of nothing more than an energy interaction. Where mostl people see it as ball and wheel speeds, I see it as an energy interaction. And I have found a way to model energy interactions that contribute to the winning number in roulette.
In plain English, I have developed software that models the relationship between variables, and other variables that contribute to where the ball will land. This modelling is capable of predicting where the ball will land . . . of course not with perfect accuracy, but with more than enough accuracy to overcome the casinos “unfair payouts” (house edge). There is no “fantasy” science about it. It uses real and pure physics, just like any other legitimate method like visual ballistics, but my system is far more advanced.
Over the years, people with no understanding of my methods have said my methods sound like “voodoo”. Such comments come from ignorant people that really have no idea what they’re saying. These kind of people may understand basic methods like visual ballistics, but do not understand the underlying variables that determine the winning number. When people have their beliefs challenged, they tend to act defensively. It is absolutely true that “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
This is relevant because currently, most casinos only take steps to protect themselves against old and now accepted methods for beating roulette. Of course the older methods still have some merit, but not like they did 30 years ago. Now remember that casinos previously believed roulette was unbeatable, but now they know better. But they don’t bother to protect themselves against methods such as my full system, because most don’t YET fully understand how or why roulette is still being beaten.
So if you want to make your money before the casinos are fully aware of my methods, you need to take advantage of them before the change the game. While real wheels exist, my system will likely always be effective. But now an increasing number of casinos are replacing their wheel wheels with RNG roulette terminals where players bet against a fake roulette wheel animation. This means there is no real wheel. It is a slot machine that cannot be beaten. To take advantage of my full system while real wheels are still common, visit www.roulettephysics.com/purchase/
Before you knew about “dominant diamonds”, you may never have noticed them and thought roulette as totally random. Now you know better. But you may still be stuck on the concept of the winning number being determined purely by factors like the ball and wheel rotor speed. In this issue, I’ll explain why roulette spins are predictable even when the release speeds are deliberately randomized.
Ball revolution counts of the 1hr demo video
The number of times the ball completes a revolution before the ball falls is called the “ball revolution count”. In other words, how many times the ball goes around before falling.
In the 1hr video demo on my site, I deliberately vary the ball and wheel release speeds to simulate multiple different dealers. if you check the ball revolution counts in the video, you will have a chart the same as left (click to enlarge). In this video, I deliberately varied the spin speeds to simulate multiple dealers. You can see for yourself there is an even spread between 6-19 ball revolution counts which is even a greater range than the multiple dealers in real casinos. On this note, envious sellers of scam systems have claimed I must be using a principle called “dealer signature” to influence where the ball will land. However, if you check the video and the ball revolution counts for yourself, you can see their claims were nonsense.
The 1hr video on my site is just a comparatively simplistic example of what my system can do. And while 150 spins is only short term, realistically the video is not much proof of anything, but videos are what most people want to see, so I filmed it. But to be accurate, short term results are not solid proof of much.
Now I’ll explain how my system still wins when the ball and wheel speeds are deliberately randomized . . .
Does a slightly different ball release speed dramatically change the winning number?
It is easy to think that the slightest variation in ball release speed will result in a completely different spin outcome. It may seem natural to assume this. After all, a slightly faster ball may be the difference between the ball hitting one diamond and the other, right? There is much more to it. The fact is a slightly different ball speed doesn’t significantly change where the ball will fall. Here’s why . . .
Shown left is a “diamond hit chart” that shows which diamonds the ball is hitting. We can see which diamond is “dominant”. Let’s assume that when the ball hits the dominant diamond, it bounces in a reasonably predictable way. Regardless of how predictable the ball behaves when it hits the other diamonds doesn’t matter. Remember we only need a slight increase in accuracy to beat roulette in the long term. So ignore other diamonds, and consider only what happens when the ball hits the dominant diamond.
Now consider from the point the ball is released, it will spin around and around, completing however many revolutions it does. Below are real ball revolution timings from a real wheel (accurate to within 50ms / 0.0050 seconds):
The chart shows the timing (in milliseconds) for each of the last 15 ball revolutions. The ball gradually slows, so the time intervals become larger.
The important thing to note is the total ball travel time, and each spin’s deviation from spin 1’s ball travel time. Take note that regardless of the ball release speed, the total ball travel time for those 15 ball revolutions is much the same (barely 1s deviation). In 1 second, the average wheel travels about 10 pockets, so the deviation is significant but NOT critical. If the ball always completed 15 revolutions, things would be easier. But the ball revolution counts will vary.
Now consider the following facts:
1. The dealer does not change the physical properties of the wheel or ball, so the dominant diamonds will always be the same regardless of the dealer. Additionally, regardless of how fast they release the ball, they do not change the ball deceleration rate. So if one dealer spins the ball for 10 revolutions, the time it takes for the ball to complete the spin is much the same.
2. For an individual spin, we do not know the exact number of ball revolutions the ball will complete before it falls. But we do know the range of ball revolutions that will be completed. For example, we may know the ball almost always completes 10-20 revolutions before falling. Consider that the ball revolutions are just an expression of energy, even though our perception is “a ball going around and around”. Also keep in mind that any energy interaction is not random and can be modelled, and therefore predicted.
This adds up to what I said in the previous issue:
It is an illusion that variation of ball and wheel speeds is critical, because the wheel and ball will almost always be released at speeds within the same speed ranges.
The ball lands where it does because of the relationship between the wheel, the ball, and other variables. And regardless of how you perceive it, the wheel speed, wheel itself, ball, dealer, the air around it and all other variables . . . it is still ultimately just an interaction between energy that occurs within known parameters, including what you perceive to be “random” ball and wheel speed ranges.
Because the properties of the wheel and the variables that determine the winning number are fixed and unchanging within an acceptable degree, the winning number can be predicted with slight but sufficient accuracy to overcome the house edge. Yes, even when you don’t know the exact ball and wheel speed of each spin.
Now this issue may be a bit difficult to follow and you may need to carefully read it a few times. But to simply it, there is ample information from previous spins that can be used to determine where the ball is most or least likely to land. We basically model the variables and spin outcomes, and model the relationships and see how they relate to the actual winning numbers. Doing this is a complicated process which is why my players use the JAA automated software.
Keeping secrets is not just for my benefit because if secrets leaked, casinos would use them against players as they’d be better able to identify when a wheel is vulnerable. I could never fully trust some players to keep secrets to themselves, but at the same time, my players were paying me for a winning system so I needed a way to be fair to both sides. Therefore I split the system into two parts. The first part was simply an ebook that explained basic methods that worked as promised, but had limitations not shared by the advanced methods. This is called the “primordials”, because it is more the basic methods.
The second part of the system required players to send me spins for analysis, then I would send them back “custom variant betting charts” that were basically the result of my more sophisticated methods. This arrangement worked well until I had more players than I had time for, which led to the next problem. So I was forced to either stop taking new players or find a better solution.
Lack of Time
Each wheel analysis for players took me anywhere from 10-30 minutes, which took far too much of my time. So for a while I stopped taking new players. This didn’t change the fact that I was very busy doing wheel analysis for existing players, so I began to have parts of my software created into one convenient program that players can access online. This software was particularly helpful for players that I disclosed some of the advanced methods to, but many players had no access to additional parts. I didn’t know most players well enough to trust with sensitive elements, so I only taught most players basic but still effective methods. This was still not the ideal situation though because I wanted all players to benefit equally. I have always felt very strongly about ensuring the success of my players, but I had to deal with a lack of time to help players.
Different Learning Rates Between Players
I found players who barely spoke English often struggled to succeed. This was primarily because of a communication barrier between us. I could have taught them everything I know, but it wouldn’t have been understood. Likewise, different players learned at different rates. Some players learned new information virtually instantly, while other struggled for months to learn even basic concepts.
The Solution to All Problems: The JAA Software
I managed to solve almost all of the above problems by releasing the JAA software which is the automated software my players now use to analyze their data from wheels.
Features and Benefits of the JAA Software
* Very easy to use: it automatically analyzes data for players and provides the custom variant betting charts. The player simply enters the required data about the wheel, and clicks “Auto Analysis”. If there is something missing from the data, the player is notified. This has made it so anyone can equally benefit from my system, even new players.
* Players are able to use the more advanced methods without needing to develop trust with me. Previously players claimed I kept secrets too close to my chest for them to receive the full benefits. And they were right. But now players can fully benefit from my system AND keep the secrets safe. The software allows me to monitor all access to it and control who has access.
* Players don’t need to wait for betting charts from me. They can create them without my help.
Requirements for My JAA System
The exact requirements for the software are only known to players, but the basic requirements are outlined below:
STEP 1 – Collecting winning numbers
Collect data about each spin such as winning numbers. Use the pencil and paper casinos provide. You need to record approximately 100 spins for each wheel direction, and this is done ONCE for each wheel. While doing this you use my simplistic system that allows you break even while blending into the crowd. This part takes a few hours but it’s only done ONCE for each wheel. You can collect data over multiple days if required.
STEP 2 – Use the Automated Software to Analyze The Spins
Now you enter the data into the software we provide. You can do this at home, or on a mobile phone or portable computer just outside the casino. The software AUTOMATICALLY analyzes your data, then gives you convenient betting charts that tell you exactly when and where to bet. Write the chart data on the paper the casino provides, then start playing at the wheel. When you play on a different day, you just conduct a few quick checks to ensure the wheel hasn’t changed, then resume play without delay. The betting charts are very simple and make knowing where to bet very quick and easy. They can be memorized if needed. An example is it may tell you when the winning number is 32, and specific “conditions” are present, then your next bets are 21,3,14,16,1,33.
In addition to the JAA software, my players receive an incredible array of bonus tools to help them beat roulette, ranging from free roulette computers to covert technology to collect data from wheels. The development of new tools and technology is ongoing and at my expense to ensure success of players. My players quickly learn that the only real limit to winnings is how much they can win without being detected.
If you ask a random person from the street “which casino game is most profitable?”, they’ll probably respond “casinos cant be beaten, otherwise they wouldn’t exist”. If you ask someone with a bit more knowledge, they’d probably say “blackjack card counters have been known to beat casinos, but you can’t beat other games”. If you ask someone with lots of experience and knowledge, they’ll tell you that roulette is by far the most profitable casino game for professional players. This issue will explain why.
My initial gambling systems (horse racing)
I developed horse racing systems before roulette systems. But I eventually switched to roulette once I saw greater potential in roulette. Don’t get me wrong, because horse racing can be very profitable although profiting today is a lot more work than it used to be, because you are basically competing with other punters. If horse racing interests you, my advice is focus on VALUE bets. This is what my systems did. Any bet you make must be based on risk vs reward. For example, generally you don’t back a horse with a payout like 2:1, because this particular horse may be “saturated” with bets, and the payout may not worthwhile for the risk. For example, perhaps a TV presenter said the horse is likely to win, and people watching all rushed to bet on the horse. The payout may have started at 10:1, but after all the bets, the payout became 2:1. But in reality, perhaps the horse was just as likely to win as 5 other horses in the race. And perhaps each of these other 5 horses have payouts of 10:1. So why would you risk betting on the horse with a 2:1 payout? Although I have done well with horse racing, it became more work than it was worth. As it is now, the horse racing industry is saturated with “value bettors” who apply the same principle. So now it’s at the point where you need a lot of extra information and research to determine which horse is the best value bet.
My casino systems
While still developing horse racing systems, I developed casino gambling systems. Although I was most interested in roulette, I was not limited to any particular game. After a lot of losses, I concluded the following:
Slot machines
No known way to beat them, except for cheating devices. One of which is called the “light wand”. It is basically a small torch you stick into the payout slot to blind the mechanism that counts coins. So when a machine is paying out, it literally doesn’t know when to stop. But this is highly illegal and now old technology anyway (no longer effective). There has been other technology that is supposed to blast slot machines with radiation, and somehow force a payout. My experience with these is they have no real foundation, and do not work at all.
Blackjack
Edge could be obtained from card counting. Almost everyone knows this. But shuffle machines and changed procedures made counting cards increasingly difficult. It was not until many years later that I developed anything specific to beat blackjack. The latest technology is explained at www.blackjackcomputers.com, which is the CCSA (card counting & shuffle analysis computer). It does as the name suggests – it detected patterns from poorly designed shuffle machines, and counted cards at the same time. Even more recently is technology I’ve developed to see through cards. There are actually a few ways of doing this, and the technology I have works quite well. But the problems at this stage are the equipment needs to be made smaller, and that it can take 30 seconds to get a clear enough image of a card. This is not quick enough. I haven’t yet developed this technology further because my private teams focus on the hybrid roulette computer (www.hybridroulettecomputer.com) which can already achieve an enormous edge. Besides the “x-ray” technology (no it doesn’t actually use x-rays, it uses ambient radiation), the CCSA computer can achieve an edge of up to 10% in rare conditions. But in most modern casinos, the edge is around 2%. This may not seem like much, but keep in mind the typical edge against roulette players is just -2.7%, and it earns casinos a fortune.
The big wheel
Almost every casino has these, but they are called different things in different casinos. It’s just a big wheel like the “wheel of fortune”. There are ways to beat it, but there are too FEW variables that actually CAUSE predictable patterns, but they are time consuming to determine. Still though, it is a fact that any player can spend a lot more time studying a game than casinos or gaming equipment developers, so they are likely to learn more about it, and discover ways that game outcomes can be predicted. In my case I’ve been developing ways to beat casinos for around 20 years.
Roulette
Roulette has countless variables, and more variables means there is greater potential to uncover patterns that casinos will not know about. But my first systems were the typical “double up” after losses, looking for streaks and the alike. Just when I thought I had discovered a working system, I’d learn a hard lesson with a big loss. It took me many years to stop looking at the table, and start focusing on what happens at the wheel. While I don’t know precisely, it took me roughly 8 to 10 years to develop anything that actually worked. So indeed I wasted a lot of time. This was mostly because I wanted something simple and “mechanical” with no guesswork. I wanted to place my bets after a few spins of preparation, and walk out with thousands.
Eventually I “got over” my stubbornness and focused more on what I knew worked, which was applying physics to predict where the ball will land. 10 years ago, I thought I knew it all. Now I know that back then, I knew relatively nothing. And today, I know better than to say I “know it all”. I am still learning new things about predicting spins. Perhaps the learning will never stop.
Although I’m always open to more learning, my conclusion, which has been the same for around a decade, is that:
a. An edge of 30% to 120% can be regularly achieved with roulette, with the use of roulette computers, where it measures ball and wheel speed, then you bet just after ball release. But the computer needs to work properly and account for important variables. Very basic computers only work on very easily beaten wheels. Almost every wheel can be beaten this way provided that “no more bets” is called at least a few seconds after ball release.
b. An edge of 5% to 15% is possible when predicting spins and betting BEFORE the ball is released. It involves accurately modelling the relationship between the physical variables, the spin outcomes, and other spin outcomes. So there are three main groups of variables, and they must be correlated to each other. There is nothing “voodoo” about it. One analogy is it’s like using a 3D chart to see how everything matches up, but no, we don’t actually use a 3d chart in this case. We use “permutations” which are basically testing countless combinations, with the variables and data we have, to determine a “best fit” model. Approximately 1/3rd of modern wheels can be beaten this way. These days I focus on roulette computer use instead of this system’s use, so I don’t need it anymore. This is one of the reasons I offer it to other players. But one of the main problems with other players using it is they would need to learn how to use it. So I created what I call the JAA software, which essentially makes a complicated system easy to use.
So it is not just “possible” to beat roulette. It is a fact that it can and is being beaten.
However, I have never achieved my goal of a magical system where you can walk straight up to a wheel and start winning, without the casino doing anything about it. The closest I’ve ever gotten to this is the hybrid roulette computer. It will usually start producing an edge after 1 spin (that gradually increases), with the maximum edge being achieved after around 60 spins on a “difficult” wheel. Although, you can resume play virtually instantly on following days. Realistically, there doesn’t appear to be anything close to the hybrid computer. Besides, most players aren’t comfortable using hidden electronics. This is the main reason why the most popular method used by my players is the JAA system, which uses the “permutations” and cross referencing explained above.

Although these are legitimately effective methods to beat roulette, understand they are not magic and still have limitations. There are many variables that determine if you can win roulette. Winning is not just about predicting spins. It is easy to beat almost any wheel at home. But winning in a casino requires many other elements including patience, remaining undetected, and dealing with ever-changing casino procedures that are designed to make professional play more difficult. And while casinos are gradulally making it harder to win, there is likely still many years to come in which roulette will still be reasonably easy and practical to beat, with the right approaches.

This article discusses the potential to earn a living as a professional casino player in today’s casinos, with a winning roulette system. You don’t need to cheat at roulette to profit. If terms such as “house edge” and “advantage” are unfamiliar to you, the chances are you’ve never been exposed to the real techniques that earn players fortunes. This article is written more for people who already have a reasonable understanding of professional methods.
To begin, what is the most profitable casino game? Specifically, in which game can you achieve the highest edge? I’m not talking about the house edge. I’m referring to a game where the player can turn the odds in their favour.
Most players will either say blackjack or poker, and would be wrong. Of course skill and varying conditions makes it almost impossible to give an exact edge a player may achieve. But I’m making a generalisation as to what the most profitable casino game is. The truth is roulette is by far the most beatable casino game, with edges over 80% being frequently achieved by professional players. When you consider the typical house edge is -2.7%, you can appreciate that an 80% edge is enormous. While 80% sounds like an outrageous exaggeration, its absolutely real.
Even some of the most experienced casino players would scoff at the idea that roulette is most profitable. After all, that little ball can bounce anywhere. And you never know how fast the dealer will spin the wheel and ball, right? The reality is the house edge in roulette is relatively small. Therefore for a player to overcome the house edge, and achieve a strong advantage, they only need to predict the winning number with slight accuracy.
Putting it into context, the payout for an individual number on the roulette table is 35 to 1. So if you bet on one number and win, you are paid 35 ships plus your original bet. But on a European wheel, the chances of winning are 1 in 37. Essentially to profit our roulette, you need to predict the winning number with accuracy better than 1 in 35. This is easily achievable and I’ll explain some of the principles involved.
But first, understand the most common mistake made by roulette players they don’t actually play roulette at all. Specifically they play software roulette where the winning number is determined by a computer, rather than the physics of a real roulette wheel. Essentially software roulette, otherwise known as RNG roulette, is no different to a slot machine. It just has cool looking computer animations. There is no way to accurately predict the outcome of software roulette, so you cannot increase the accuracy of your predictions, and ultimately cannot increase your edge. Software roulette maybe great when sitting at home in front of your computer, but don’t expect a long-term edge with any system.
Principles that make roulette predictable
Roulette is far from a random game. Below I’ll discuss how you can know this for yourself. The average casino player may know that roulette can be beaten if the wheel is very old with flaws. This is called “bias” where wheel defects lead to specific numbers spinning more often than they should. But even modern wheels straight from the factory floor can be just as predictable. Here are some principles that make roulette predictable:
Dominant diamonds
If you observed just the one spin, it is easy to think that the ball bounces unpredictably with no real pattern. But if you observed several key aspects, you will notice predictable behaviour even over just a few spins. One of the most obvious is dominant diamonds. Diamonds are the little metal deflectors situated around the rim of the wheel, and they are supposed to make spins less predictable. But the fact of the matter is they make roulette spins more predictable. If you took note of which diamonds were hit by the ball on each spin, you will find that on almost every wheel, certain diamonds will be hit by the ball more frequently than others. This effect is called diamond dominance.
On many wheels, you may find that one or two particular diamonds are hit on around 80% of spins. This is not specifically a bias, and it happens on any wheel whether it is new or old. One cause is wheel tilt. This is basically where one side of the wheel is very slightly higher than the other. After all it is almost impossible to have are perfectly level surface. Even a difference of 1mm between sides is enough to create a significant dominant diamond. The other primary cause of dominant diamonds is ball track deformations. It may seem like the surface where the ball rolls is perfectly smooth, but there are always manufacturing defects that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Of course as a wheel becomes more worn, dominant diamonds become more apparent. But rather than take my word for it, go to your local casino and you will see almost every wheel has significant dominant diamonds. If the spins were truly “random” (unpredictable), then there would be no diamonds at all, and where the ball falls from the ball track would have no “dominance” at all.
The critical effect of dominant diamond is is that you have a reasonable idea of where the ball will fall from the ball track. You don’t need any experiencing with roulette to see this.
Predictable ball bounce
You can know approximately where the ball will fall from the ball track. This means you can see where the ball hit the rotor for the first time, and where it bounces. Of course you don’t know exactly where it will bounce, but try observing ten or so spins. You will find that the ball usually bounces 15 also pockets before coming to rest. This isn’t the case with all wheels, but clearly most of them. This predictability of bounce is called “scatter”.
It won’t take long to see that the ball bounce (scatter) can be predicted, at least with reasonable accuracy. Keep in mind that achieving an edge in roulette only requires us to slightly increase the accuracy of our predictions.
Now combine the fact that you can guess approximately where the ball will fall from the ball track, and where the ball will bounce. This combination means you can predict approximately where the ball will come to rest. Of course not with perfect accuracy, but do you really need perfect accuracy to achieve an edge?
Predictable ball and wheel deceleration
The ball and wheel decelerate at the same rate regardless of how fast the dealer releases them. This means that once the dealer has released them, if you measured the speed of each, you could determine which numbers will be under the dominant diamonds when the ball falls. And since you know approximately how far the ball will bounce from there, you could easily and accurately predict the winning numbers. At least this is in theory. Can it be done in reality? Absolutely, and casinos already know about it. Devices that measure the speed of the ball and wheel to predict the winning number are called roulette computers. One such device was used to win over £1.3 million at the Ritz casino at London. Three players were arrested, but later released without charge because there was no law that prohibited the players from using technology to predict spin outcomes. The laws only prohibited devices that actually changed or influenced spin outcomes. Eventually British laws changed to prohibit such predictive devices, although after de-regulation of gambling, they changed once again and are now they are legal in the UK and much of the world. Generally speaking, every casino prohibits the use of such devices. But them being prohibited and illegal are two very different things. In approximately half of the jurisdictions throughout the world, use of roulette computer devices is not forbidden by law. But certainly you will be banned if you are caught using them.
Since the breaking of the story involving the Ritz casino players, roulette computers have been a hotly debated topic throughout the Internet. Many roulette computer devices have been developed and marketed, although the majority of these devices are extremely simplistic and incapable of beating modern roulette wheels. Credible devices which have been publicly demonstrated are available at www.roulette-computers.com where the suppliers also reveal free information on how to develop your own roulette computers.
Perhaps the highest profile roulette computer technology is the hybrid roulette computer, available from the same individuals. This is a device that uses image recognition technology and hidden cameras to automatically predict where the ball will land. It is believed to be the only technology of its kind. The developers of the technology manage what is believed to be the largest team of professional roulette teams. Although they do market some of their technology, their best technology is kept private.
Other predictive methods
Although roulette computer devices may be the most effective way to beat roulette, there are other methods that use the same physics. Specifically visual ballistics basically does what a roulette computer does, although use your eyesight instead of sophisticated timing equipment. This is not as difficult as it first sounds, although the eyesight methods are only capable of beating fewer wheels. Keep in mind that almost every wheel has dominant diamonds. Usually a wheel has two specific diamonds that are hit most often by the ball. Even if there are three specific diamonds, this is still far from random, and thus the behavior can be used to the player’s advantage.
Now consider that the ball is released at some unknown speed. Just from observing the ball speed, you can easily determine at what point in time the ball has approximately four revolutions to go before it falls. If you find is difficult, try to guess when the ball has one revolution remaining. With practice, you will find you can quite easily be accurate to within one revolution, and usually this is sufficient to achieve a significant edge in roulette.
You may already understand where this is leading. But with a simple visual ballistics method of estimating the number of remaining revolutions for the ball, you can estimate when there are approximately four revolutions to go before the ball hits one of the dominant diamonds. This means you have a reasonable idea of where and when the ball will fall, because the time taken for the final four ball revolutions is much the same even on different spins. And you will have already determined that the ball bounces in at least a reasonably predictable way. So all that’s left is to determine which numbers will be under the dominant diamonds when the ball falls. It may sound impossible, but this is the approach that has won fortunes. But if you take the time to practice, you will find it is easily achievable with many related methods. Some are even free at roulettephysics.com.
The real problem with beating roulette
Instead of roulette being the most unbeatable game, it is in fact the most predictable casino game but you need to work with the right type of roulette bets, and not rely on roulette betting progression. The roulette payouts are not important when you have an edge. You can very easily beat almost any wheel design in a controlled environment at home. Roulette wheels are subject to real world physics, and in fact it is almost impossible to manufacture a wheel with completely unpredictable spins.
The real problem with beating roulette is winning discreetly. Casinos know that roulette is being beaten, and they also have a reasonable understanding of how it is being done. Casinos also know they do not even need to understand the very latest techniques or technology being used to beat them. All casino staff need to do is monitor for consistent winning players. For example, if casino staff noticed a player winning an inordinate number of times betting just before the ball lands, they don’t need to search the player or ban them. All the casino staff need to do is call no more bets earlier and earlier until the player either loses or leaves. By allowing the late bets while the ball is still spinning, the casino is able to maximise their revenue through lucky last bets of normal players who have no real advantage. So it is not as profitable for casinos to call no more bets before the ball is released. Instead, the smarter casinos only call no more bets very early when they detect a player is regularly winning with late bets.
So the problem for any professional casino player, whether they use roulette computers or not, is to remain undetected. Of course there are many other things the casino can do to protect themselves from professional players, although the majority of approaches have a side effect of reducing their income.
Professional players, such as roulette computer users, are generally an accepted hazard by casino staff. Casino staff know about them, but they are easily detected by attentive casino staff who can then take appropriate action. As it is today, it’s a bit of a cat and mouse game with professional teams trying to remain undetected, while casino staff vigilantly monitor their tables for professional players. So can you earn a reasonable living playing as a professional roulette player, without being detected? Absolutely, and many players do because a roulette computer player only needs to win a few times before making a substantial profit. And these few spins appear to be nothing more than a few late bets with luck.
But keep in mind that casinos make the rules and their technology to detect professional players is getting better. But the good news for players is there’s still ample opportunity for professional players to earn a fortune if they can successfully avoid detection.
This page explains how to become a partner for roulette computer application. At this stage we are only looking for roulette computer partners, not JAA system partners. This does include for an online roulette strategy although you need a reliable internet connection such as cable.
Selection for partners is extremely competitive. Previously I sent partners all equipment for free, and they simply paid me part of winnings. I don’t accept new partnerships like this because I found many players weren’t paying my full entitlements. I also found many players who promised to be productive simply didn’t dedicate enough time. Some were so inconsiderate that they never bothered to return the equipment, even though it becomes locked after some time. So only the below partnership options are available:
Operators: These are players with the computers. They are the players who basically use the computer and organize attacks on casinos. Usually these are players who I already know well. If you already have experience as a professional player, you can apply to become an operator although selection for this position is extremely competitive.
Bettors: This is the most common types of partnership. Basically “bettors” are wheel scouts. They find the most suitable wheels, and become one of the people who later place bets. We can use multiple bettors on the same table. The idea is we rotate bettors to avoid detection, and each of us receive part of the winnings. More specifically their role is to:
Research casinos to determine suitability of wheels and conditions: You should do this in local casinos. I don’t want you spending thousands to travel, because there’s no guarantee I will have players who can travel to your casinos. But if there is no serious chance that players can travel to your casinos, then I wont ask you to do the research.
Place bets: Assuming suitable wheels and casinos are found, you may be asked to place bets. You will wear a hidden wireless earpiece that tells you where to place bets.
General Requirements For Bettors
Solid understanding of the wheel assessment procedures: you need to understand the information we need, and how to obtain it
Available time: you must have a predictable schedule and a reasonable amount of time.
Honest and trustworthy: There are lots of “not so nice” people in this industry and I only deal with honourable people. If you do something wrong by another player or myself, expect that you wont be invited when other casinos are attacked. I shouldn’t need to tell you what is right or not.
Calm under pressure: You need to be comfortable in the casino environment. You can’t be skittish if casino staff look at you. You need to understand we never apply the computers illegally, so you are not breaking laws. However, you are playing against the casino’s rules. Although the most they can do is ban you.
Patient: If you are over-eager and impatient, it will lead to mistakes that can affect the whole team.
Motivated for the right reasons: We don’t want players who have a passing interest. We need people who have thought about this carefully, are dedicated, and motivated to increase the quality of theirs and their family’s life. We don’t want greedy people.
Self-funded: I give preference to players who have their own money. Generally people are more careful with their own money. But in cases where you are otherwise a suitable candidate, you can play with a bankroll grant I provide.
WARNING: If you become a partner or player of mine, you are going to see me say this many times: NEVER give your real name or any personal information to any other player. The only person that has this kind of information is myself and it is kept strictly private unless I am required to release it (ie by law). Often there are arguments between players and it can lead to threats and various nasty behaviour. The best policy is never give other players any private information about yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What can a bettor earn?
It depends on the casino and wheel, and what amount of winnings is reasonable to avoid detection. It also depends on how you contribute. If our teams won $50,000 on a wheel you found and evaluated, and you actually participating by betting, then you can expect to receive approximately $10,000-$20,000.
Q. If I use my bankroll, is there a risk of losing it?
There’s always a risk of losing, but before any bets are made, the wheels are properly evaluated. When done correctly, the evaluation gives us about a 99.5% accurate idea of the results to expect. You will clearly understand the evaluation procedure and why it is so accurate, so you will have a good idea of the risk of losing. Usually if a loss is made, it has nothing to do with the accuracy of the computers – it would be for a reason like the team had too much attention on them, they couldn’t risk continued play, and just happened to leave after short-term unlucky losses. But in such a case, another team or bettor may continue the attack, in which case you would likely be compensated for any time you invested.
Q. Wont the casino notice players constantly winning, even if the bettors constantly change?
Yes, eventually they may notice because most casinos monitor the winnings/losses of each wheel. This is the only real limit to the winnings. But it is quite easy to remain undetected, even over long periods, if the winnings are not greater than losses from ordinary players.
Q. Is there any written contract?
Yes but only once we decide to attack a wheel based on your research.
Q. What if I spend lots of time and find suitable wheels, but you don’t actually attack them? Am I paid anything for my time?
In such a case you receive nothing. The risk of lost time is yours. An important consideration is you will need at least 60 spins (30+ per direction) to fully evaluate a wheel. Usually you need to collect this data at the table, and you will need to be a betting player to be allowed there. In such a case, you could make random $5 bets on single numbers and statistically you will lose only about $10. But a $10 or so investment to have the data you need is worth it. Sometimes you can sit at a poker machine and collect the data from a distance.
Q. Exactly what is the wheel assessment procedure, and is it difficult?
It is very simple but you need reasonable eyesight to be able to do it. If you have average vision, you wont have problems. If you have quite poor eyesight, it is still fine in most cases, but you will find it more difficult. I only reveal the exact procedure if you are a suitable applicant.
Most roulette tips websites are written with the sole purpose of promoting online casinos, and they are written by people with no real experience in playing roulette. This page lists simple but genuinely valuable tips for beginners, intermediate and advanced players. The beginner tips are assuming you are just looking to have fun and aren’t using a professional roulette system. The intermediate roulette tips are for those who have played roulette many times, but are looking to expand their horizons. And the professional tips are for people already with experience with professional roulette strategies.
Most players look for an online roulette strategy, but generally you can win more win more in real casinos. Learning how to win at roulette can be relatively simple if you take your time, and don’t have unrealistic expectations of learning everything within minutes.
Roulette Tips for Beginners
Making your bankroll last: If you want to just have fun and stay at the table as long as possible, decrease your bet size as your bankroll decreases.
Quit while you’re up: the longer you play, the greater the chance you’ll lose money. Set a profit goal. For most people, it would be something like $100 profit or even just enough to pay for dinner and a movie.
Set a loss limit, and stick to it: it is very easy to take more money from the ATM and lose more. Never play with more than you’re prepared to lose. And if you lose your set bankroll, accept the loss and walk away a prepared loser. It may be great to win back losses, but chasing old losses leads to gambling addiction. Also remember that money will come and go all your life.
Understand the bets, odds and payouts: roulette is a very easy game to learn. See the roulette bets, odds and payout chart so you know what to expect. Especially if you bet just one number, you may be without a win for many spins. This can get frustrating, so it may be best to make outside bets like red, black, odds, evens etc. This way you get wins more frequently. Learn about the types of roulette bets.
Choose tables that aren’t too busy: it is very frustrating when you are waiting for other players to be paid. Busy tables tend to spin too infrequently, and aren’t fun to play on. Generally the time of day determines how busy tables are.
Give preference to European (single 0) wheels instead of American 00 wheels: The single 0 version wheels give you a significantly better chance of winning.
Only play against real wheels, not software roulette: Online casinos often use software roulette where there is no physical roulette. This is called RNG roulette, and isn’t roulette at all – it’s a slot machine, and they are impossible to beat. Some online casinos even used rigged RNG where the winnings of other players will determine whether or not you win. This is far from fair. If you play online roulette, stick to the webcam roulette wheels where you can see spins from a real wheel.
Learn how to properly test your roulette system: Without proper testing, you’ll waste lots of time on systems that have no chance of winning in the long term. See how to properly test roulette systems.
Try something NEW: If you are looking for something other than typical professional systems, try something that nobody else has tried before.
Advanced Roulette Tips
Find partners: some techniques require a lot of time, and sharing the workload with others makes it more practical to beat the more difficult wheels.
Learn to assess wheels first: understand where your edge comes from, and assess wheels to determine if they exhibit suitable attributes, without needing a lot of data. This will save you a lot of time.
Assess conditions and casino procedures: some casino conditions will make play impractical. For example, a wheel may spin too infrequently for play to be practical.
Think in terms of weeks and months, instead of hours and days: Beating roulette is a long-term job. Casinos themselves look at the bigger picture instead of what happens only on an individual day.
Consider the conditions to determine what is required to remain covert: staying undetected is critical. No casino will tolerate a consistent winner. It is not difficult to remain undetected if you use common sense.
Become familiar with wheel designs from the manufacturer websites: This way you will have reasonable knowledge of which wheels are easiest to beat.
The best roulette betting system is the JAA roulette system (click link), but this page is focused more on betting strategies. Recently I conducted a survey to determine the average success of my players. As I expressed in the report on findings, there was a very large difference in what players had achieved. Some literally earned millions over the course of many years, and some earned nothing. This ultimately is due to two main factors: where they play (the suitability of wheels), and their experience. An experienced player will find and exploit an edge on a wheel that an inexperienced player will not even notice. More detail about what players achieved is on an article at my site. This article is more to do with how many of the more successful players had achieved large winnings.
The Best Roulette Betting System Without Progression
Any roulette systems that doesn’t use betting progression (roulette progressions) are called flat betting systems. The advantage of them is basically that it’s much harder to blow your bankroll, as opposed to progression systems that rely more on luck with large bets, and can easily blow your bankroll. With betting progression, you usually increase your bet size after losses, and hope that a lucky big win will win back your losses. But as I’ve highlighted in previous articles, all progression really does is change the amount you risk on an individual spin. For this reason, progression is usually useless. You cannot beat roulette unless you are first increasing the accuracy of predictions.
Positive progression free roulette systems
If you want a very simple and free progression-based roulette system, try betting red/black and increase your bet +1 unit if you lose. If you win, decrease your bet by -1 unit. It’s very simple and if you play in the short term, you will almost always win and pay for dinner and a movie. It sounds simple enough, but the problem is when you eventually hit the losing streak, you’ll wipe out your bankroll while losing the winnings you had before. So if you adopt such a free roulette progression system, keep in mind you are using it with the hopes that the losing streak wont happen eventually. And anyone can win in the short term. I’ve seen many systems survive over tens of thousands of spins, even though the system is clearly ineffective. Systems that do this usually rely on lucky wins with large bets. Alternatively, the system may survive by making infrequent bets. Again keep in mind that any system can win in the short term. But what if 10,000 players all used the same short term progression system? The overall result of the combined group of players will be a loss. That’s what the house edge does.
Roulette negative progression strategy
When you start to lose, you can reduce the size of your bets. This will keep you at the table longer. But essentially all you are doing is changing the size of your bets. It isn’t going to help you win. It will at best keep you playing longer.
The best roulette progression strategy
Usually I don’t advise any roulette betting progression because of reasons explained above. All my roulette articles explain the principles, and it is worth a look at my videos that demonstrate how to predict roulette numbers visually. Also if you have a strong edge, you may be winning constantly. But if conditions change, you may start to lose. Then if at this point you use positive progression (increasing bet size), you will start to lose. But if your predictions are in the wrong area, then you will be betting larger amounts when the ball is potentially falling on the opposite side of your predictions.
When is progression acceptable? Only when you are absolutely certain you have an edge, and are maintaining it.
Getting back to mentioning results from my players. From the recent survey conducted, I found many of the more successful players were using betting progression in combination with either my system or roulette computers. These are experienced players that understand how to monitor their edge, and when it is safe to increase their bets.
I’ll give an example: if your strategy indicated you would statistically win about 90% of the time when betting 15 numbers, then you will very rarely be without a win for more than a few spins in a row. I use this example because this was the kind of accuracy achieved in the public roulette computer demo at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUqjvSvEnX8
In such a case, you can afford to have an aggressive betting progression. For example, you can start by betting 1 unit for 3 spins. If you lose, then bet 2 units for another 3 spins. If you lose, then bet 3 units for another 3 spins, and so on. You reset the progression to 1 unit bets when you have profited since the start of the progression. Of course if you still didn’t win once after 9 spins in this case, then something may be wrong, so you would need to know how to evaluate and monitor your edge. And you need to cap bet size so you don’t risk too much if you get a particularly bad losing streak – all systems have losing streaks in the short term.
The upside of such progression is not that it increases your edge. It is that you can leave sooner with your target winnings. Because with a genuine winning system, the problem is more about being undetected. Plus of course the casino will more likely perceive your profits as being derived from “lucky large bets”. Based on the survey I conducted, this is the progression strategy used by my most successful players. But again be very careful because it comes with the risk of blowing your bankroll if your edge is not carefully monitored, or if your progression is too aggressive for the size of your edge.
You can test your theories and systems for how to beat roulette consistently, but I suggest test properly: test your roulette system.
What’s the recommended betting strategy?
First we’ll assume you are using a system that actually works. Specifically that it increases the accuracy of predictions. The best roulette betting strategy depends on your edge. The higher your edge, the more aggressive your progression can be.
For example, in my roulette computer public demo, the edge was 120%. This is an enormous edge considering the house edge is -2.7% on the European wheel. So my edge was over 40 times greater than the normal edge casinos have over players. I won on around 93% of spins. In such a case, I could have easily applied the Martingale system, which is doubling bet size after losses. I would have won many times more if I applied this betting approach. But instead I applied a flat betting system where all bets were the same size.
If my edge was far lower, say about 10%, then a smarter strategy would be smaller progressive bets. For example, after a loss, I could increase my bet size by one unit. After a win, I could decrease bet size by one unit.
Ultimately the best roulette betting system depends on your edge. If you have no edge, then no progression is going to help you. And the aggression of your progression bets depends on your edge. Put another way, the greater your normal losing streak, the greater the risk of using progression roulette betting systems.
The majority of free software to win roulette is unfortunately ineffective. But at the very least, often they can help you more easily test to see if a particular roulette strategy is effective or not.
I’m building a list of software that I provide for free, and other free software to win roulette that’s provided by others. The majority of free software is intended to be geared more towards professional systems, known as advantage play.
If you have genuinely helpful software, even if it isn’t aimed at professional players who use roulette physics, please let me know and I’ll add your download to the list. Of course there’s no charge for it. My intention is to list all the most useful roulette software downloads on the same page. Also if you have any suggestions or resources you would like to see, let me know.
Most popular free software to win roulette
Without a doubt the most popular free software used on my site by professional players is at http://roulettephysics.com/jaa/index.php/jump – it has a few tools on it, with more being added soon. The main one is a jump chart analyzer. If you are familiar with professional systems like visual ballistics, then you’ll immediately understand the value of the software.
The second most popular free roulette software is the roulette simulator at https://www.roulettephysics.com/free-roulette-simulator/ – as explained at the page, it is not like the typical RNG roulette game. It actually simulates ball behavior. For example, the ball will roll a random distance, and at all times you can see the ball. So it is a true simulator for the roulette wheel. However, it is still no substitute for real wheels. It is kind of a hybrid between typical casino RNG and real wheel play. On this note, if you want to develop systems for RNG (random number generators), then first understand the basics of roulette prediction at this website – specifically read the parts that explain why most systems fail, and why you must increase the accuracy of predictions to beat roulette. The point is you can’t increase the accuracy of predictions for RNG roulette, so you can’t beat it. Also pay particurly close attention to the part about betting progression being useless in beating roulette, unless you first are increasing the accuracy of predictions.
Free roulette software to avoid
You may recall I previously mentioned a particular roulette bot program. Even more of them have surfaced since I last wrote that article. Basically a website is created to promote free software. You see loads of testimonials and people claiming they win lots. You download the free system software, and win in practise sessions. Then you sign up at the recommended casinos to play with real money, and lose. This is a typical online casino promotion scam. Usually if something seems too good to be true, it probably is a scam. It should seem like common sense. Although very often I still hear from people that bought into the scam. The main two reasons these scams are able to exist is because they are usually run from jurisdictions where the enforcement agencies don’t care, and even if they did care, it would be too expensive to prosecute.
Can you predict roulette spins? Yes, but there are only a handful of techniques that work, and even they wont work for all wheels and in all conditions. This article will explain how to predict winners with a pocket computer. Specifically it is using free software called metronome, in combination with visual ballistics.
Metronome is a discrete timing device which can be used to predict roulette spins. It may initially sound like a complicated task, but is actually quite easy if you follow the simple formula. You can download it free from http://www.roulettephysics.com/files/metronome.zip
Step 1: Assess suitable wheels to predict
You cannot beat all wheels, and will need to search for suitable wheels. There are a variety of factors that determine of a wheel is suitable, with the major one being “scatter”. Scatter is basically “how predictably the ball bounces”.
If you have a rating of 70% or above, the wheel is likely acceptable, at least when it comes to predictable ball bounce.
Step 2: Set the software to vibrate once per second
Start the metronome software and set it to pulse a vibration at once every second. The settings are self-explanatory, and you can set the intensity of the vibration. You will need to place the phone somewhere that the pulses are easily felt. This is a matter of personal preference. You will need to feel the vibrations clearly enough.
Step 3: Apply the visual ballistics system, but with the metronome
Learn the visual ballistics system in the videos below. How to visually predict roulette:
The difference is instead of estimating the ball speed, you will be using the timings of the phone’s vibrations.
To do this, note the position of the ball each time you feel the vibration. Call each point the “intersection point”. You will find the distance between each sucessive intersection point will become shorter and shorter as the ball speed approaches 1 revolution per second. Before this, the points will gradually move in one direction (for example, clockwise). Then when the sucessive intersection points begin moving in the other direction, this is called the “crossover point”.
At this point, you note the number under any particular reference diamond. You can use any diamond, provided it’s the same one on each spin. Call this number A. Then when the ball lands, the winning number is number B.
Repeat this for about 30 spins for each direction. Do not combine data for seperate directions. This will give you a list of numbers like:
32,4 19,2 .. and so on.
Then enter the numbers in http://roulettephysics.com/jaa/index.php/jump and if you get a rating of 65% or above, the wheel should be easy enough to beat provided you don’t make significant mistakes.
Step 4: Betting
Become familiar with the types of roulette bets. Assuming everything to this point is ok, now you repeat the process described in step 3 to find number A. This is called the raw prediction. Now you need to bet a specific number of pockets from this number. This will be something like +5,+6 or so numbers from the number A. The chart you created at the end of step 3 will have green areas highlighted, to indicate the “jump” values to use.
The whole process is also explained in the youtube videos, although instead of estimating ball speed, you will be using metronome. Literally millions have been won with such simple approaches. But remember it has limitations and isn’t magic. You need to scout for optimal conditions.
Ultimately metronome is the most basic roulette computer possible. A slightly more powerful computer is the basic computer, which you also have free as one of my lpayers although it will need to be run on a different phone. Most cheap phones are usually ok though.
The benefit of metronome is that you don’t need any cables. And if you are ever caught, all you need to do is exit the software and there’s virtually no chance any police would charge you for cheating, because there wouldn’t be enough evidence to charge you with. Although this is why some players prefer metronome, it doesn’t mean we advise it. Please also be aware our terms of service forbids illegal use of the device.
More advanced roulette computers
The device explained in this article is as simple as roulette computers get. Some sellers charge over $1,000 for the sale thing. There are many more advanced ways to use metronone too. For a comparison of all my roulette computers, see www.roulette-computers.com/comparison2.htm – the metronome computer is simpler than the basic computer I’ve listed. Again although it does work, it will work on far fewer wheels than the more advanced versions.
I have developed many different types of software to analyze roulette wheel bias, but these achieve only a small edge. The roulette computers and jaa roulette system achieve far greater edges and in much less time.
Most roulette tips websites are designed to promote online casinos, not to help you win roulette. They give inaccurate and harmful information, which spreads to other websites. So it’s hard to find accurate advice.
I’ve been been a professional roulette player for over 20 years. I manage the world’s largest team of professional roulette players. Here I explain the truth about beating roulette.
Can You Consistently Win Roulette?
Absolutely. But most players go about it all wrong. You can learn all the typical mistakes players make on our roulette strategy page. The main mistake they make is they don’t even consider what happens on the wheel. Yet the roulette wheel is what determines the winning number.
So start by looking at the wheel, and why the ball lands where it does. It’s actually quite easy to predict the winning number, at least with sufficient accuracy to profit. Remember the house edge is only slight. So you only need slightly accurate predictions for consistent profits.
So if it’s so easy, why aren’t casinos broke?
The real problem is casinos don’t tolerate consistent winners. Once they notice you consistently winning, they’ll take steps to stop you – one way or another.
The Only Strategies That Concern Casinos
Casinos know which strategies work, and watch for tell-tale signs of professional players.
Casinos aren’t stupid. If you win a large amount, the casino will review surveillance video to determine how you likely won. They know which strategies don’t work, and which are serious threats.
If your winnings were probably from luck, they may offer you free drinks or accommodation. This is so you’re likely to continue playing and lose your winnings. They’ll know your wins were from luck if you made bets like red or black, because long-term winning is almost impossible with outside bets.
However, matters are quite different if they suspect you used a professional roulette system. One of the tell-tale signs of a professional player is they make bets based on sectors of the physical wheel. Unless you broke the law, they’ll still pay your winnings, but you won’t be welcome back. You’ll probably be added to their database of suspected professional players. And if you return, they’ll take steps to make winning harder for you. These steps are called “counter-measures”.
The “counter-measures” casinos apply give clues to what makes casinos nervous, and strategies that really work.
Typical Counter-measures
Spinning the wheel rotor faster, or at deliberately inconsistent speeds.
Frequently changing dealers.
Closing bets before the wheel spins, and forbidding late bets.
Frequently changing balls.
There’s more, but you may notice it’s all about what happens at the wheel. This is because the wheel is what determines the winning number. And if spins are predictable, players can get an advantage.
The Right Strategy Can Turn $2,000 Into $1,000,000+
The house edge in European roulette is just 2.7%. So the casino’s advantage over players is relatively small. Still it earns them millions.
But if you have even a slight edge over the casino, you’d be the one earning millions. The only question is whether or not the casino staff will notice you, and then take steps like ban you.
Profiting over $1M from just $1,000 may sound outrageous. However, it’s real and has been done before. Some examples are below:
Spanish Players Turn $2,000 into $1,000,000 in 12 months
These players achieved an edge of around only +2% to +4%. Again you only need a small edge. This is why blackjack card counters get excited about a +1% edge.
They beat the wheel using roulette wheel bias, which is exploiting physical flaws of wheels. This approach was used by “the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo. Contrary to popular belief, biased wheels still exist in modern casinos. They are just rare, and more advanced methods must be used to detect any bias before casinos notice.
Nevertheless, there are much better ways to beat roulette. I know it sounds outrageous, but it’s even possible to achieve a +150% edge on modern roulette wheels – even if the wheel is new and unbiased.
So getting an edge and beating wheels is not a problem. Again the real problem is avoiding detection, because no casino tolerates a consistent winner.
The Systems That Work In Modern Casinos
Most people think roulette is the most unpredictable game, and it’s impossible to beat. The truth is the complete opposite. Roulette is by far the most vulnerable game for casinos. It is nearly impossible to design a roulette wheel with completely unpredictable spins.
Roulette is still a profitable game for casinos because the vast majority if players lose. Casinos know some players win consistently. But their winnings are limited with careful casino surveillance and countermeasures.
Roulette computers are incorporated into every-day objects, and used in plain-sight.
These are hidden devices that measure the speed or the wheel and ball, then predict where the ball will land. They are by far the most effective way to win at roulette.
They are legal in approximately half the world’s jurisdictions. This is because they only predict spins, without influencing them. But legal or not, no casino will allow you to use them. You might not break laws, but the casino will ban players caught using them. This is why they are used discretely.
Examples of players winning fortunes
You don’t hear about 99% of roulette computer players because they avoid detection. Here are only some known cases:
Laszlo Kovacs: Won about $200,000 in a few months in Australian casino.
Yujin Wu: Australian man won about $1m across the world, but was finally detected after winning $50,000 in Canada.
Ritz Casino Team: Team of 3 players won £1.3M in 3 days. They were not charged with any crime, because police determined no laws were broken.
Winning numbers are determined by roulette wheel physics.
This system performs an analysis of spin results to determine statistical anomalies, that reveal predictable results. It uses roulette wheel physics, which itself isn’t new.
What makes this system unique is how it cross-references data to improve the reliability of short-term data. It’s somewhat like cross-checking facts. Without this process, the data about spins would be insufficient.
Basically it uses proven principles of roulette wheel physics, and performs a very efficient analysis to make it practical in real casino conditions.
Visual ballistics is a popular strategy for professional players.
The technique which uses your eyesight to determine approximately where the ball will fall. It’s not as difficult as it first sounds, but it does require practice. You can get a free basic visual ballistics course by submitting your email in the subscription form on this page.
There are various visual ballistics courses you can purchase on the Internet. From the ones I’ve seen, they all work to some degree. Some are too basic and don’t do everything needed for modern wheels. And some are too complicated and difficult for real casino conditions.
My techniques achieve the required accuracy, while still being practical for use in real casino conditions.
Dealer Signature
Many dealers exhibit predictable behavior that makes spins less random.
Roulette dealers are frequently swapped to help randomize spin results. The longer a dealer’s shift, the easier it is from players to study and exploit predictable spins. This phenomena is called “dealer signature”.
It’s not a myth. It really does work, but most dealer signature systems have limitations that make it impractical in most casinos. More advanced methods are capable of winning in a wider range of conditions.
Wheel Bias Analysis
Roulette wheels all have imperfections, and are subject to wear and tear.
Almost every casino uses automated software that analyzes spins to detect biased wheels. If a wheel appears to be biased, it is repaired or replaced. But the casino’s software only does half of what it should.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking biased wheels don’t exist today. The reality is every wheel has at least some bias. They keys are:
Often bias only occurs when specific conditions are met. So a bias can be present one day, but not others.
The casino’s software is incapable of observations that enable earlier detection of bias.
With the right knowledge, professional roulette wheel bias players can detect and exploit roulette wheel bias before casinos notice.
Best Free Course To Beat Roulette
Enter your email address in the subscription box on this page. You will be subscribed to our free course to beat roulette.
Every internet-based casino offers an online casino bonus for deposits. For example, if you deposit $500, you may get an additional $500 to play with. But it isn’t exactly free money, because it comes with strings attached.
Comparison of Online Casino Bonuses
Hypothetically let’s compare two casinos and their bonuses. These are just fictional examples to make a point:
Casino 1
Bonus cash: $1,000
Conditions: You need to wager 100 times this amount to make a withdrawal.
Casino 2
Bonus cash: $100
Conditions: You need to wager 5 times this amount to make a withdrawal.
A $1,000 bonus may seem great, but if you have to wager 100 times this amount just to be able to withdrawal your funds, that means you’ll need to have wagered 100 x $1,000 = $100,000. By that time, you will have lost all your bankroll, and $1,000 would be comparatively nothing.
But with casino 2, the modest bonus of $100 is a much more reasonable offer because you only need to wager $100 x 5 = $500 to make a withdrawal.
Of course the bonuses have limits. So you can’t just deposit $100,000 and expect a $100,000 bonus.
The best casino comparison site is www.latestcasinobonuses.com which conveniently lists the bonus, the maximum bonus, and the conditions for withdrawals. Also visit www.onlinecasinos.co.uk/ for up-to-date information about online casino bonuses available at regulated casinos in the UK.
Bonuses are optional. Casinos will ask you whether or not you want to accept them, but keep in mind they have strings attached.
I’ve received many complaints from players who are refused payouts because they agreed to the fine print when accepting a bonus. But this is expected behavior from the casino. It is not cases where you win loads of money and the casino says something like they suspect you of using a bot, and they outright refuse to pay you.
Certainly there are lots of dishonest casinos around, so it is important to research which are reputable. Websites like the one mentioned above have large forums where the credibility and behavior of casinos are discussed. And you can be sure that a player has been treated unfairly, that the word will spread, and the casino will lose far more in potential revenue because of the bad publicity.
When shouldn’t you accept a bonus?
Generally for professional play, I wouldn’t advise accepting casino bonuses. This is because what you win is not limited by what is possible. It is more limited by what the casino will allow you to win, before they take action. And action is only rarely outright banning you. It is usually applying countermeasures which may not make you lose, although can. It is more that they make life more difficult for you. It depends on the system you are using, but for my system explained at roulettephysics.com, countermeasures mostly increase the time you need to dedicate.
Professional online casino players frequently change accounts, so that no single account wins a suspicious amount. And while you may have a long term advantage, you may find you have an extra good run of luck very early on. So it would be wiser to just take those winnings, and move to the next account. But if you have accepted a bonus, then you wouldn’t be permitted to do this. So in this case a bonus will limit your options.
When should you accept a bonus?
For the vast majority of players, there is no reason why you shouldn’t accept a bonus. Let’s say you deposited $100 and got a $100 bonus, but needed to wager $500 to receive it. For the average roulette system, which unfortunately has no long term edge, all you ultimately do with the bonus is decrease the edge against you, at least from the perspective that if you are going to wager a certain amount of money, then you would be better off with the bonus instead of without it.
There are many free online roulette European games online, where you can test your roulette system or just play for fun. There is no real money involved and you can play all you like for free. Here you can get a roulette game download link for free, and unlike the free software used by online casinos, the winning numbers are determined fairly. Some online casinos give away free roulette game downloads but the software is rigged to make you win more than what you would if you played with the real money. The intention is to encourage you to play for real money and lose.
Almost all use a random number generator to determine the winning number. Is you are interested in playing slot machines, such free games are all you need. But it isn’t real roulette. The only real roulette consists of a physical roulette wheel and ball. Learn why most players lose and how to test your roulette system so you don’t waste time on a losing strategy.
As far as I know, nobody has ever devised a system to beat a slot machine. And that’s exactly what RNG roulette is – a slot machine with deceptive computer animations of a roulette wheel.
The Most Realistic Free Online Roulette Flash Game
The winning number is not determined by a random number generator. It has the following key differences:
The wheel and ball speeds are randomized, just as what happens with a real roulette wheel.
The wheel direction is alternated each time, which is common in real casinos.
The ball bounce distance is simulated. While you don’t see the ball bounce, the internal calculations are simulated and based on real physics.
Basically the the source code of the roulette game was specially modified to simulate the main elements of a real physical roulette wheel.
How to Play The Roulette Game
The game is written in flash, so you need a compatible browser. You won’t be able to play it on an Ipad and some Apple devices. You will need a PC or other compatible computer. You may need to adjust your computer’s security settings to download the game. When the page loads at the above link, the game will load automatically. You will notice that the ball is always in view. When you begin each spin, the ball will begin to move starting with the previous location. This is an essential part in simulating roulette spins. It is not like a random number generator game where the number is entirely decided by random computer numbers.
The basic rules of roulette still apply, so there are maximum and minimum bets. You have a sufficient starting bankroll for any roulette system or betting strategy. If you ever run out of chips, simply reload the page for new betting credits.
The game is completely free without the need to download anything, and it will always be free. We do have links to recommended casinos on the game page, but they have nothing to do with the free game we provide. The statistical odds of winning are no different between the software game (aka roulette simulator) assuming your betting strategy is not advantage play, which applies an understanding of roulette physics to predict the spins outcomes.
The Game Interface & Wheel
The wheel layout used is the single European roulette wheel, because it is the most common type of wheel. The only difference with the double zero American wheel is it has an extra pocket and the wheel layout is different. If you want to test with an American wheel, understand if a system fails with the European roulette game, it will also fail with American roulette anyway.
WARNING: Most free online roulette games do NOT give realistic spins. So if you’re testing a roulette system, you wont get accurate results. You’ll probably win fake money. Then when you start betting for real, you’ll lose money. This page explains the best roulette simulator game for fun and testing your system.

If you play only for fun, and aren’t trying to develop a serious system, use the free flash game below. You need Flash Player to play this game:
About This Roulette Game Simulator
This is not real roulette because the only “real” roulette involves a physical roulette wheel and ball. Software games are simply “slot machines” with roulette wheel animations, and the winning number is selected by a random number generator. However, the above simulator has the following key differences:
1. The winning number is determined by the speed of the ball and wheel.
2. The speed of the ball and wheel are randomized.
3. You can see the ball at all times.
4. Wheel direction is alternated each spin.
So it emulates what happens on real wheels, although it is still not a substitute for testing on real wheels.
Why you shouldn’t test systems with online casino software
Most online casinos allow you to play roulette with test accounts for free. You don’t bet with real money. Where real wheels are not involved, the winning numbers are not “fair random”. Specifically they are rigged so you win more often than you would if the results were truly random. This is to convince you that your system works, and you should bet with real money. But when you start playing with real money, the odds are back in the casino’s favour because they apply the proper random number generator. Unfortunately this deceptive practice is very common, so you should never test any roulette system on the software provided by online casinos.
The first thing to understand that roulette is a physical wheel and ball. It has absolutely no relation to software roulette, which use RNG (random number generators) to determine the winning number. RNG roulette is no different to a slot machine. As explained above, the roulette game simulator on this page determines the winning number by simulating the physics. You don’t see the ball bounce around like it does on a real wheel, but the game outcomes are based on typical physical variables of real wheels.
Can you apply a physics-based roulette system to win consistently on the game simulator? That depends on the method you use. Some methods will be effective, but others wont but we wont disclose which because it would make winning easier. We’ll leave it to you to find out.
The real roulette game has too many differences to mention. If you are a serious player looking to improve your prediction skills, then there is no substitute for a real wheel. You can visit the recommended live online casino which shows a video feed from a real wheel in a real casino, and with no deposit or real money required. One downside is the frequency of spins is lower than on the roulette game simulator above. And there are other live online webcam roulette casinos that have more frequent spins, although the honesty of these casinos are debated by many players. This is partly because of the largely unregulated locations these casinos operate from, but also because of strange behavior where the online betting software used to place bets sometimes inexplicably rejects winning bets. This doesn’t happen at reputable online casinos.
What’s the best long term roulette strategy? Many players believe they wont ever play over 10,000 spins, so they don’t need a long-term winning system. You should start by familiarizing yourself with the basics of playing roulette.
It’s very easy to design a roulette strategy that will usually profit “most of the time”. For example, just bet 30 numbers for 1 spin, and you’ll win most of the time. So you could say this is a “short term winning system”. A player that uses such a system may brag to friends that they win most of the time. But if they repeated the process numerous times, eventually one of the wrong numbers will hit, and they will lose a lot. This example is just to make a point that winning “most of the time” does not mean you will profit.
Most systems use the same losing approach, but in a roundabout way
The average roulette system uses complex forms of the same thing. For example, the system may require a bet on 32 red, but only when:
a. There have been no reds for 5 spins in a row, and
b. A column hasn’t spun in the past 5 spins, and
c. An even number hasn’t spun in the past 5 spins.
This is just an example but in this case, this system wont work because none of these independent events increase the accuracy of predictions at all, so no combination will either. But the example illustrates that a system can be highly complex, but in the end almost all systems have the same kind of approach in roundabout ways. Yet the player may be convinced they’ve stumbled onto a secret combination and set of rules (the system) that works.
A profit and loss comparison
Some understanding of roulette odds will help here.
Let’s say you had a short-term winning system. That’s a system where you will win your target amount, then leave. Now say if 1,000 other players all line up behind you, and applied the same short-term system after you left. The chances are most players will win, and a few will lose. Let’s say 900 players won, and 100 lost. So the totals may be:
The 900 Winning players: $10,000 profit
The 100 Losing Players: $11,000 loss
From this you can see the 100 players each lost a lot more than what each winning player won. Yet “most” players won.
Is your system any different?
If your system is something like “bet red, and increase bet size after a loss”, then you probably just started playing roulette. Learn about the best red black roulette system and understand what can and cannot be done. For people who have been playing roulette for years, their system is much more complex and involves a more intricate set of procedures, without an understanding that they do not at all increase the accuracy of predictions, or profit. Certainly there are systems that can profit after even 100,000 spins, but with the following reservations (one or more of the below):
a. Usually a negative progression is required, where you bet less as your bankroll depletes: such systems can enable you to stay at tables for a long time.
b. Progression is used, where good luck can give enormous wins. But bad luck can completely wipe out your bankroll. This is a very common losing roulette strategy.
c. The bankroll is sustained by relatively few but large wins. Even over 100,000 spins, there may have been just 50 lucky wins when you were making very large bets. 50 spins is short-term, and anything can happen in the short term. For example, if your progression (bet size after losses) was 1,2,4,8,16,32, then back to 1 unit after a loss . . . and you won while betting 32 units, this is very lucky and will help sustain your bankroll. but if you consider how often that big lucky win occurred, you’ll better understand it really was just luck. You can tell this is the case if your bankroll trend has relatively few but very large “ups”.
Putting things into perspective
Again it’s very common for a player to have a “short term winning system”. In fact it’s very easy to have this and most players initially assume they have a no lose roulette system, until they test it (learn how to test your roulette system). When I started playing roulette, I was happy doubling my money with a simple dozens progression system. I too thought I would keep profiting if I only played short term. Eventually reality hit me and I lost big, and understood I really knew nothing. All I was doing was making separate different sized bets. There was no connection from one spin to another. So I was simply varying bet size, nothing more.
Literally I have been developing roulette systems and technology for around 20 years. There was even a period of about 5 years where I would work on systems almost every day. It was not so much an obsession – it was more a hobby and passion.
If you think you have a winning system, although it only requires you to win in the short term, consider the following:
1. What if 1,000 people all applied the system in the short term? Would the overall amount won exceed the overall losses?
2. How would 1,000 separate players playing 1 session each be different to you playing 1,000 sessions?
3. If your system has won over 10,000 or so spins in tests, were the wins the result of “lucky wins” when your bets were large? And can you repeat the success over multiple groups of 10,000 spins?
4. If you run profit/loss simulations by just betting red over 10,000 spins, how often will you have profited? And does a profit indicate this system works, or merely profited in the test?
Approaches used by professional roulette players
Casinos know how players are beating roulette. They know what roulette strategies do and don’t work. I personally know many casino staff, and none are aware of any case where a consistent winning player used anything other than a method based on roulette wheel physics. I’m not saying such a method doesn’t exist, but I don’t believe it has been done, at least yet. The roulette strategies that actually work, and are known by casinos to work, involve roulette wheel physics.
While I try to inform players why a method will likely fail, and how to test their systems properly, most players don’t appear to understand. Because if they did understand, they wouldn’t produce systems that are essentially the same, just repackaged in a different way.
My method of approach is physics, because I know it works. It literally pays my bills. But I’m not saying this is the “best” way. Although it is the “best way I’ve found” so far.
If you are developing roulette systems . . .
Understanding why most players lose is important to learning how to win at roulette. If you are working on your own roulette system to beat roulette, I suggest first understand the basics. Literally it took me years to understand why my initial roulette strategies were all the same nonsense that failed. And when I came to understand that I needed to actually increase the accuracy of predictions, I still didn’t accept it for some time because it didn’t “suit” me. I wanted something “my way”. I wanted a purely mechanical system. After all it needed to be clean and simple. It was not until some years later that I developed my JAA wheel analysis software which makes complex physics-based methods simple and practical to use.
But if you are looking beyond physics, technically it isn’t really possible because everything is explained with physics. But at least focus on developing new and innovative ways to beat roulette, which are centered around predicting the winning number. Some of what I’ve tested includes precognition methods (involving many participants and the “majority vote” method), and although initial trials were promising, I haven’t had time to pursue the research.
In short, learn to identify when your system is the same thing repackaged. And try something NEW!
Ultimately what is best long term roulette strategy? It depends on where you play, because there isn’t a particular system that suits all wheels. Once you understand the capabilities of each approach, you can identify the best long term winning system to use.
What is rapid roulette? Its definition varies throughout the world, but in most cases it is essentially a roulette wheel surrounded by numerous betting terminals. There is no physical roulette table, and you place your bets by using a touchscreen terminal in front of you. You cannot usually bet after the wheel is spun, and the best roulette system for rapid roulette is the cross reference roulette system. It is the closest thing to a no lose roulette system you will find. In the long-term, you are more likely to profit than the casino is to profit from normal players with losing systems.
The main reason the casinos tend to be favoring rapid roulette is because it is an efficient use of floorspace. Strictly speaking, floorspace in the casino is directly correlated to profit. And it most casinos, nothing is a better use of floorspace than a slot machine. But a casino full of slot machines would be boring for many people, so casinos need to provide a variety of games.
How to play rapid roulette
The procedures and roulette strategies vary depending on where to play, although in most cases you simply sit at one of the chairs and insert your funds. Your account balance will be displayed on the betting screen. Then you can select the bet size by tapping on the unit size selector, and place bets by tapping the virtual bet table. In other words it’s just like playing at an online casino, where everything is done electronically, although the wheel is physically real.
Many casinos with rapid roulette have 30 or so chairs all sitting in front of a TV screen, and there is no physical roulette wheel. To a professional player, this is absurd because it is not roulette – it is a gigantic slot machine. The last time I went to a casino and saw this, I would have loved to have gone up to every person sitting in front of the terminal there, shook them around and slapped them telling them you cannot win there. But to be fair, there was a time where even I considered fancy roulette graphics to still be roulette. Looking back though, I have no idea what I was thinking.
Rapid roulette rules – how to win at rapid roulette
The rules of rapid roulette are exactly the same as any other roulette. Again it is all just an electronic version. But the winning numbers are usually determined by a real physical wheel. At least this is how it begun, although the trend is changing as explained above. I do believe that there is a limit to how far the casinos will go with their implementation of electronic technologies. Put more simply, they will always be using real wheels because many players are smart enough to understand you can’t beat a slot machine, and essentially this is what the big screen rapid roulettes are. If you are looking for a rapid roulette strategy, consider the tips below.
Rapid roulette tips – how to beat rapid roulette
Of course start by learning how to play roulette, and learn the basic roulette bets.
1. If you can’t physically see the wheel, do not trust it. Sometimes rapid roulette does involve a real wheel, although it is not in your physical presence – you see only a supposedly live video feed of it.
2. If there is no physical roulette wheel, it is a slot machine and you cannot possibly beat it. Focus on real wheels only.
3. Get to know the wheel models and features from the manufacturer websites. This is because some of the later models may be real and physical, although they apply are variety of countermeasures that make application of professional methods more difficult. As per my other articles, it does not always eliminate the effectiveness of a roulette system – it is more of a deterrent. Some of these wheels do make winning virtually impossible, although the majority only slightly decrease profitability. But still where you have a choice, choose a wheel that will give you natural organic roulette spins, rather than being manipulated by hidden electronics. And on this note, gambling law almost always states that nothing can be used to influence the spin results. The technology I’ve discussed here does influence spin results, so it is actually illegal. The only reason the governments allow it is because they consider it an enhancement when it comes to unpredictability. Nevertheless, I feel as players are becoming more aware of this technology, they are losing trust in casinos playing by the rules, and this in turn loses them revenue although it would be difficult for them to gauge the losses.
There is no 100% safe roulette strategy, but you can get close enough for a system to be a viable income source. For example, the normal edge against players is -2.7% but devices like roulette computers can achieve an edge of over 120%, which is over 40 times greater. So you have a 40 times greater chance of winning than losing in a typical session.
Everyone would love a guaranteed winning roulette system to make money whenever they need. But is there a guaranteed way to win roulette? The answer is quite technical, but in layman’s terms, yes there is. This website explains how to beat roulette consistently. And sure many of you may have heard differently, of course from others they get their experience from other people that have no experience. So let me make this clear, I have plenty of personal experience.
But perhaps to be more technical, consider is anything in life is guaranteed? Not even a bank term deposit is guaranteed profit, because what happens if the bank and government goes bankrupt? Is any investment you have ever made been 100% guaranteed to profit you? My point that everyone wants something to be completely assured, but the reality is nothing is ever a certainty. But you do not need complete certainty to profit at roulette.
The guaranteed winning roulette system
We will start off with the most simplistic example. Let’s say you found a real roulette wheel that had very clear physical defects, such as the black pockets being significantly larger than the red pockets. This would mean that the ball is most likely to land in the black pockets. This kind of defect is called a roulette wheel bias, and while my example may seem a little bit ridiculous, it is only to illustrate a point. Of course you wont find this effect with online casinos or any roulette simulator.
In this example, you will have a very clear long-term statistical advantage over the casino. That is to say that on most spins, you will win. But let’s say you only bet on one spin, and perhaps for arguments sake let’s say you had about 60% chance of winning. Keep in mind we are assuming that zero doesn’t exist. So in this case, you also have a 40% chance of losing. This single spin is a short term as it gets, and anything can happen in the short-term. So while you may have the odds in your favour, it is no guarantee that you will profit.
Now consider betting on black for 100 spins. The chances of red spinning more often than black over this many spins would be very remote. But still in the infinite possibilities of this universe, it is still not a guaranteed roulette system.
Without taking the time to calculate the odds of you losing, let’s just assume that one in 10,000 players that played on this wheel (on different spins) will lose. Does this mean that their system loses? No, it only means that they have lost over the specific spins they played on.
Likewise, if another player won over 100 spins on a completely different roulette wheel, although there were using random bet selection, that this mean that their roulette strategy works? No, it only means they got lucky.
The purpose of me explaining these concepts is so you understand if you are serious about winning at roulette, first understand that nothing is guaranteed, and it is still possible to make a loss even if you have a winning roulette strategy.
But as I said at the start of the article, a guaranteed winning roulette strategy to make money is a reality, although with the following conditions:
1. You need to play over a sufficiently large sample of spins. This is because anything can happen in the short-term.
2. Once in a while, you are still going to lose. This happens with any investment, but with an effective strategy, you are going to profit more in the long-term then you lose.
3. Theoretically it may be possible to lose on every spin, but the chances of this are so remote that you don’t need to think about it.
Summarizing it, if your system is a long term winner, the more spins you play, the greater the chances of you profiting.
Guaranteed roulette strategy for sale
The roulette strategy I provide does come with a 100% money back guarantee. But I make very clear that this is not a guarantee that you will profit. It is only a guarantee that if you don’t profit within the first 30 days, that I will provide a full refund. There is a distinct difference, and perhaps this is what you are searching for when you entered the search term guaranteed winning roulette system.
You may be think a roulette strategy that beats roulette consistently means money will fall from the sky. The truth of the matter is even an effective roulette system is work. But certainly any strategy that legitimately does beat roulette, if used correctly, can earn more than a standard job. To go straight to the two best methods that work, see the cross-reference roulette system and roulette computer devices website.
Can you beat roulette online?
I have written many roulette articles that give you many secrets and strategies explaining how to win at roulette. Much of it explains professional advice on winning online. About a third of my players only ever play an online casinos. This is because the obvious appeal of winning at roulette from the comfort of home. Another article I recently wrote addresses the pros and cons of applying professional roulette systems at online casinos. The basics of it are that you can do quite well at online casinos, although you have to understand no casino will tolerate consistent winners. So you need to either use multiple accounts was smaller winnings, or take larger amounts from if you are accounts.
But all this is with the assumption that you are playing on real physical roulette wheels that are viewed by web cam, and not the random number generator roulette. This will be further discussed below.
How to Beat The Roulette Table
The betting table has nothing to do with winning roulette, although almost every betting system or roulette strategy is based around the table. The winning number is determined by the whee and ball alone. The betting table is nothing more than a place to make bets. It shouldn’t even be considered unless your primary focus is predicting where the ball will land on the physical wheel. Einstein once said you cannot beat the roulette table unless you steal money from it, and he was referring to the table, not the wheel. You can be sure if Einstein dedicated time to beating roulette that he would have studied roulette wheel physics, and disregarded the irrelevant roulette table.
Can you beat Roulette RNG?
Legitimate techniques beat roulette, but RNG roulette is not roulette. It may look like it with those fancy animations, but essentially it is a slot machine. The only people ever to have won consistently at slot machines are people that use cheating devices such as the light wand. This is a device that blinds the coin counting mechanism in a slot machine, so that the machine doesn’t know when to stop paying out. That the whole other story. My point is that you can’t beat a slot machine with a system, and it is no different with RNG roulette. Suppose you are betting on animations of bouncing bunnies, instead of a roulette wheel – it would be no different.
Using maths to beat roulette
The great majority of roulette systems attempt to use mathematics to beat roulette. And without knowing it, the system designer usually attempts to find a way around the mathematical certainty. Almost every roulette strategy makes the same mistakes. For example, on a European roulette wheel, there are 37 pockets, but the payout is unfair 35 to 1. So even if you win, you are still paid an unfair amount. So a win is still a loss. The only way around this is to increase the accuracy of your predictions. No maths is going to resolve this problem, unless pertains directly to increasing the accuracy of predictions.
In professional roulette system methods, of course mathematics is still involved, but in the correct way. For example, a proper statistical analysis.
Correct use of mathematics to analyse a roulette system would of course reveal whether or not a system is a legitimate long-term winner. A simple application of maths would be as follows:
Consider a situation where our player believed that after 10 Reds in a row, that black is most likely to spin next. This is an age old gamblers fallacy. The reality is even after 100 Reds in a row, the odds of red or black spinning next are essentially the same, of course assuming that there is in some physical defect of the wheel. If the player conducted a statistical analysis over enough situations where they believed the odds have changed, they would find they haven’t changed.
Testing thousands of spins in the real casino, if your system doesn’t beat roulette, will mean you will have lost large sums before finding out that your approach was incorrect. A simple roulette system tester is all you need to test hundreds of thousands of spins, whether they be from real for computerised spins.
Can you beat the roulette dealer
Beating the roulette dealer then running off with chips is a sure way to profit, but you’d better run fast before security catches you. But perhaps a roulette strategy is develop a method to predict spins based on dealer behavior. This is called dealer signature and are basically revolves around the consistency of ball and wheel release speeds from the dealer. It is a viable method, although really in modern casinos unless you carefully incorporate other considerations. These will be discussed in a separate article. But if dealer signature interest you, I suggest subscribing to my free system, and participating in the “get it free” program where you receive my dealer signature system for free.
On a related note, dealers do not at all affect the physics of the wheel, so they do not affect roulette wheel bias or methods that predict roulette numbers visually. The exception is they can vary rotor spin speeds, which changes the ball bounce. But ball behavior can be analyzed for specific rotor speed ranges.
Can you beat roulette machines?
Rapid roulette usually involves a real wheel and dealer, although sometimes there are automatic wheels that don’t require a dealer.
Roulette machines, otherwise known as automated roulette machines, are still roulette wheels although the ball is spun by a robot using an air compressor or magnet. With such wheels, physics is still involved although there is a greater element of randomness. Can a roulette strategy beat them? This all depends on the method you use to predict the spins. In most cases or rather with traditional advanced play methods, the inbuilt countermeasures from roulette machines do significantly reduce the players edge, and in many cases may completely eliminate edge. But in most cases they act more as a deterrent to professional players, and do not completely eliminate players edge. In this respect they act much like an alarm system on a house (with the flashing light box out front), where it may not keep a burglar out of your house, but will encourage a burglar to try elsewhere where conditions are easier.
If you are asking how can I very roulette, I suggest first understand that the only way to beat roulette is by increasing the accuracy of predictions. This is discussed in detail on many pages of my website.
Secondly, understand that the only way to increase the accuracy of predictions is through the use of roulette physics. Keep in mind that the only roulette systems that have ever been roulette in the long-term use physics. And the only roulette systems concern casinos and there surveillance staff are professional players that exploit roulette wheel physics. In the history of roulette there has been no exception. That is not to say that there will not be and eventually exception, but this is something to keep in mind if you are a practical kind of person.
Learn how to beat roulette
Learning how to win at roulette is not as complicated as it may first seem. Like any new information, it takes a little time to digest, until it becomes second nature to you. I suggest begin by subscribing to my free course at roulettephysics.com. The main part of the course teaches a method called visual ballistics, which is essentially estimating where the ball is most likely to land. And because the casinos house edge is only slight, you only need slight accuracy to overcome it and profit consistently.
Is this an American wheel, European wheel, or neither?
Most American roulette tips and roulette strategy websites are designed to promote online casinos such as Bet365, not to accurately inform you on American roulette tips and tricks. This page will explain the best tips if you intend to profit, whether it be in Vegas or online roulette casinos. The most popular professional roulette system for American roulette is the JAA cross reference system available here. It is widely used across the USA and although it works on double zero wheels, it is always better to seek single zero wheels.
Why American Roulette Makes You Lose More
Read about advantage play and why it’s the only approach that works. American roulette wheels have a double 0 pocket, and a single 0 pocket. But the payouts are the same as the European single zero wheels, which only have a single 0 pocket. Most people do not have a choice of which type of roulette wheel they play on, although in cases where you have a choice, it makes sense to choose the single zero European wheel layout. To put things into perspective, the European roulette wheel has half the edge of the American roulette wheel. An amateur gambler may actually believe that the extra zero give them an extra chance to win, but to a professional player this notion is absurd.
Bet365 American Roulette Tips UK
Start with the best and worst advice for playing roulette. Bet365 is an online casino that gives you a choice between each of the wheel layout types. If you are from the United States of America, it may be tempting to choose the American wheel format because you are more familiar with it. But keep in mind you will have a reduced edge. Of course Bet365 realizes this, and rely on the ignorance of players.
Why do some people call it American roulette when the wheel is single 0?
In many European nations, casino staff may refer to all roulette as American roulette, regardless of the wheel layout. This is technically wrong to the rest of the world, but it is worth taking note of if you are ordering a roulette wheel from Europe, because you may not get the wheel layout you are expecting.
How is American roulette usually different?
My experience with American roulette is that the rotor, which is the spinning part, tend to spin significantly faster than in other parts of the world. Other than this, and the wheel layout, there are essentially is no difference between a roulette wheel on one side of the world all the other. This is because there are few particular will roulette wheel manufacturers that are favoured by casino establishments. Some casinos may strictly use only the latest models, while other casinos may continue to use particular wheel designs for 20 or so years, which is a viable option especially when they have their own in-house wheel refurbishment service.
Roulette wheels are not cheap, if the average wheel costing around $10,000. This may be at an insignificant amount for a casino, but not so much when you have 20 or so wheels and really encounter a professional player, so there is not so much of a need to keep wheels in perfect condition. Even if the casino has strict rules about the condition of their wheels, keep in mind that all operations are overseen by staff who do not necessarily do their job properly.
Best tips to win at American roulette
The best tips I provide are essentially identical to any other roulette tips, which are:
1. Focus your bets on what happens at the actual physical wheel. Roulette has nothing to do with the betting table. Even Einstein himself said a roulette table cannot be beaten, but he said nothing about the actual wheel. He was referring to the mathematical edges and the scattered representation of the wheel. If Einstein dedicated time to beat roulette, you can be sure that he would have relied on physics.
2. If you are using professional methods, understand scatter and how to properly assess it. Scatter is a kind of measure to determine how predictable the ball bounce is. If the ball bounce is too unpredictable, then you will find it very difficult to beat this wheel, and you only option may be a roulette computer that has features to minimize scatter. My computers are the only devices I know of have such capabilities.
3. If you are playing specifically at an online roulette casino such as Bet365, always choose the single zero European wheel layout, as your edge is significantly greater. Or rather the casinos edge is lower.
4. Carefully manage your bankroll: if you are unaware of how much you have won or lost, you can easily blow your entire bankroll.
5. Be aware of the odds for your bets: Knowing what you expect to win helps you determine expected profit and loss.
6. Avoid outside bets such as odds, evens, 1-18, 19-36, the columns and dozens. You cannot consistent beat roulette with outside bets.
7. Avoid using the coloured chips as they help casinos track your winnings.
8. Be friendly to the croupier (dealer) as their behavior can sometimes influence the predictability of spins.
9. Monitor your edge. The house edge is always present, but you can overcome it with a winning roulette strategy.
10. Study the mathematics of the game, so you know what to expect. This is also relevant to the roulette odds and payouts.
11. Know the roulette systems that are well known to lose, and avoid them. These inclue the Labouchere, the Martingale and more.
12. If you play online, focus on real wheels only, not random number generators.
13. Learn the rules so you can focus on correct application of your system.
By the legal definition, cheating at roulette relates to unlawful methods to win. These can land you a prison sentence. But there are several “legal ways to cheat roulette”, and it is impossible to be charged by police with such methods, because you aren’t breaking any laws. By saying “legal”, I mean the methods aren’t specifically illegal, but the casino will ban you if they catch you. To go straight to the very best cheating methods, see www.hybridroulettecomputer.com and www.roulette-computers.com – these are hidden devices that predict the winning number.
Gambling laws and jurisdiction
Firstly understand that gambling law differs between different jurisdictions, and gambling law is state-based. So even in the same country, what’s legal in one state may not be legal in another, and vice versa.
An example of legal and illegal cheating
In some states, cheating is defined as any method that alters or influences the outcome of a game. For example, using magnets to influence the winning number is clearly cheating. But if you use technology to merely predict the winning number, without influencing where the ball will land in roulette, then this isn’t cheating. Of course it depends on what the laws actually specify, or define as “cheating”. With this particular example, around half the jurisdictions state you can’t influence the winning number, but not that you can’t merely predict it. This means often devices such as roulette computers are legal.
Does it mean the casino will allow you to use them? Certainly not. Because the casino is private property, and they have their own in-house rules, and they can ask you to leave for any reason they want.
The exception is casinos that are owned and run by the government. I wont go naming specific jurisdictions, but such casinos are forbidden from excluding anyone, unless there is good legal cause. So in such casinos, you can’t be banned for using something like a roulette compeer that merely predicts spin outcomes. And you can’t be charged with a criminal offence.
It sounds a little too good to be true, but keep in mind no casino will ever tolerate a consistent winner. Decades ago when a particular professional player was winning hundreds of thousands all legally, the casino tried many things to make him lose. They tried moving wheels, speeding up spins and more, but it made no difference, besides a minor inconvenience. As a last resort, he was physically ejected from the casino. He then took the matter to court, and won. The casino had no choice but to allow him to play. Eventually though, they figured out how he was winning, and made his techniques too difficult to apply. So he had no choice but to play elsewhere. But since his name became widespread, he found it increasingly difficult to win without heat from casino staff.
This is just an example to highlight the fact that legal or not, casinos will do whatever they must to stop you from winning. They can’t profit unless most of the players lose. And they certainly don’t want some loose cannon player winning huge sums.
The illegal methods: How to cheat a roulette wheel
Wheel gaffing
This is basically modifying the wheel to make spins more predictable. It is illegal everywhere, except on casino cruise ships that are in international waters, where there are no gaming laws at all. A good example of this is loosening parts of the wheel so that the ball bounces less in specific areas. This creates a “deadening” of bounce, and it leads to wheel bias, where specific numbers will spin more than others. Normally a casino’s automated software will detect this bias, but only after thousands of spins. If you know where the deadened area is, you will be able to take advantage of it before the casino knows.
Magnetic balls
There have been very rare incidents where a magnetic ball is somehow swapped with the real ball. Then it’s behavior can be influenced with magnetic pulses. When I first heard of this, it seemed a little unlikely but was actually true, and I was contacted by a team that had done it for some time. They didn’t use actual magnets, otherwise the ball would stick to ordinary metallic objects. Instead, the ball contained a special coil with diodes. When the ball fell onto the rotor, the user would observe where they expected it would land. If it was expected not to land in the area they bet in, two parts would be activated. The first part would use magnetic induction to create an electric current in the ball’s coil. And another component would push the ball away from the wrong area to the area the players bet in. All this happened very quickly, so that it did not cause noticeable interference with the casino’s electronic systems. Another team using similar equipment were caught, although not the player(s) I came to know.
There are many other methods which involve placement of the betting chips, such as discretely placing bets after the ball has actually landed. Generally, cheating methods are not specifically advantage play, and advantage play strategies are recognized as legal by casinos. It doesn’t mean the casino will allow you win continue using advantage play strategies if you are detected.
Legal “cheating” methods
These methods are legal in some jurisdictions, and illegal in others:
Roulette computers
These are predictive devices. They don’t influence the winning number. See www.roulette-computers.com. The best of these devices is shown below: https://www.youtube.com/embed/jPMq3s3aZNk
Wheel clocking
There are a few different meanings to the term “wheel clocking”, but it is not exclusively used for “taking timings” of the wheel and ball. Some such methods do use electronic devices to store data that would otherwise be too difficult to manage without electronic devices. Some gambling law is specific to the point where it will state electronic devices are forbidden, for the use of storing or projecting game outcomes. Around half of the gambling jurisdictions have such specific laws.
How can you cheat at roulette online?
If it is RNG (random number generator) roulette, then this isn’t real roulette. It’s a slot machine with computer animations of a roulette wheel. And you can’t beat slot machines, that is without actually interfering with the mechanical operation of the machine itself.
If you can’t access the wheel, then your options are fewer, but you still do have the option of roulette computers. But because of what we’ve done to online casinos that allow late betting, now most online casinos call no more bets much earlier. Still though, other methods are suitable for online roulette. But I’m referring to online roulette only where real wheels are used.
You can test cheating methods at free online virtual roulette, provided a real wheel is used, unlike the roulette simulator. And it is important professional advice to avoid any online casino bonus as they are designed to restrict your behavior and winnings.
Here we’ll discuss how to win roulette online. If you only want to know which roulette strategy works best for online casinos, see the cross reference roulette system. It’s the most effective roulette strategy that’s legal everywhere. The roulette computer devices at www.roulette-computers.com are even better but more designed for real casinos.
Just about every player asks for the best online roulette strategy that works (a winning roulette strategy or bet selection). Although playing roulette online at home is appealing, my first advice is that you will find real casinos more profitable. This is because you are able to win more without being detected, and you won’t have the hassle of needing multiple online casino accounts.
With a reasonable roulette strategy for online casinos, you can learn how to win roulette online from the comfort of home, at suitable online casinos without needing an online casino bonus. And many of my players do this. I often say that the main issue faced by professional roulette strategy players is avoiding detection, because no casino will tolerate a consistent winner.
Some of my players have won close to $100,000 online in a very short space of time. In each case, it was done using large bets at a reputable casino, that is never reported to have refused payouts. Can you do this with $5 units, with the same account? Not likely, because your account will be restricted well before you win this amount.
The below video explains the recommended roulette strategy for bet selection: https://www.youtube.com/embed/XYDVXAhA8HA
Betting Red, Black, Odds, Evens and Outside Bet Combinations
Basically outside bets don’t work, specifically because they are a deliberate randomization of the bets. So if you bet red or black, you cannot increase the accuracy of your predictions within one pocket accuracy, so you cannot beat roulette this way. There is one very rare exception but it involves covering zero too, although it is beyond the scope of this article. Betting 1-18 or 19-36 is really no different, same as highs or lows, the dozens (1-12, 13-24, 25-36). You can also include street bets, corners and so on. There are some exceptions where a combination of various bets can represent sectors of the wheel, and these are the only types of bets that can win. Any successful roulette strategy must cover specific areas of the wheel.
European (single zero) Vs American (double 0)
An inexperienced gambler may think they have twice the chance of winning if there were two green pockets. It sounds unbelievable, but some players have said to me that they believe it to be true. The fact is the casino has twice the advantage over the player on an american wheel which has both single and double zero pockets. Where possible, you should always play on single 0 European roulette wheels, which have only one green pocket.
The betting tables are identical, with the exception of the additional double zero betting area. The payouts are also identical.
The Difference Between a Roulette Strategy and Roulette System
Many players consider them much the same thing. But I consider a roulette system to be a method of bet selection. An effective roulette strategy is more your plan for everything else, including:
How you will cash in winnings without being detected
Your plan of attack: will you win fast and large, or slow and small for discretion.
There is much more to it, and the strategy that works best depends on the conditions you encounter. This article will discuss the best strategies specifically for online roulette.
The Two Best Online Casino Roulette Strategies
There are over 20 online roulette casinos that are suitable for professional roulette systems such as mine. But this is no comparison to the countless real bricks & mortar casinos spread throughout the world. You will infrequently share a roulette wheel with one of my players in a normal casino. But you will very frequently be sharing the same wheels with my players at online casinos. And the more winners that are on a particular wheel, the more likely the casino will notice that something isn’t right.
If you win too much, the casino will not allow you to continue one way or another. A dishonest casino will refuse payouts and recite obscure fine print in their terms of service that makes their behavior “legal”. An honest casino will make your life more difficult by applying a countermeasure, although unknown to them, it may not even be effective anyway. One way or another, you cannot openly win lots from the same account and expect the casino to do nothing to stop you.
Below are the two online roulette strategies that work best, ultimately so you can win the most:
METHOD 1 – Slow discrete winnings, with multiple accounts: This is usually the preferred method, but it involves having multiple accounts. This way you can close an account after achieving significant winnings. But the problem is online casinos allow only one account per person. However, there are relatively easy ways around this, including:
Using another person’s account: many players are happy to loan you their account, for a split of the winnings. You can also find individuals in various countries who will setup an account for you, for as little as $50. You can find such people at freelance websites where people offer their services for everything and everything. But you need to be sure the target casino allows players from the correct jurisdiction.
Fake identification: This is quite common, although consider the legal ramifications of doing this. Generally though, it is a victimless crime, and it is perhaps rather unlikely a prosecutor’s office will waste $50,000 or so of tax-payer’s money when there was no victim. The reality is written law and applied law are different things. While written law can be applied, very often if it isn’t because government resources must be prioritized. I’m not advocating this using fake ID – I’m just explaining common practise by players. If you take this option, it is entirely your responsibility.
The advantages of method 1 are that many online players can win from the same wheel. For example, there may be 5 of my players winning with my system on a particular wheel over a week period, and there may be 100 other players who use a losing system. This way the winning players blend in with the typical losing players. The casino will still overall profit, although not as much as they could without professional players exploiting the wheel.
The disadvantage of method 1 is winning takes longer for each individual. But at least the players don’t blatantly alert the casino staff to what’s going on.
METHOD 2 – Large winnings in short spaces of time
This is a somewhat selfish strategy. It may be profitable for the individual, but it is not beneficial to multiple players who all attack the same wheel online. Basically you may play only once per month or so. First you identify when the wheel is most predictable, then play with large bets and a large bankroll. By the time the casino has evaluated your play, you will have made your winnings, and any countermeasures they apply wont matter, except to other players.
Some players have earned hundreds of thousands online this way, but at a cost to other players, because casinos became more vigilant with applying countermeasures that make winning more difficult. However, keep in mind the application of countermeasures is not a viable long-term strategy for casinos, because they usually slow down play, and this causes fewer bets to be made by the losing players. This in turn means the casino doesn’t earn as much.
So Which is the Most Effective Roulette Strategy?
This depends on the conditions you encounter. For example, the ultimate roulette strategy for William Hill would be to play in the short-term, because they are notorious for restricting accounts. If you play over the longer-term, they’ll ban your account before you can win a significant amount. But better still, don’t bother with William Hill because they’ve probably banned more players than any other online casino. Reputable casinos won’t ban you like this. Instead, they’ll apply countermeasures. And if you haven’t properly evaluated the wheel each day, you won’t know about it until you’ve lost. Wheel evaluation is something I only reveal to my players though. And to further explain which strategy is best for individual conditions, I’ll write separate articles.
Rapid roulette is also a very useful option for avoiding detection, and also allows you to place roulette bets quickly without interference.
Managing Your Bankroll
No money management is going to profit you unless your system for bet selection is effective in the first place. And by effective, I mean that it increases the accuracy of predictions. But bankroll management can help you sustain play longer. For example, while the chips are down, bet lower and you can stay at the table longer. If you are clearly profiting, then you can afford to play with the casino’s money. Be very careful of betting progressions where you vary bet size after wins or losses because you can end up blowing your bankroll very quickly if you hit a losing streak.
The Worst Systems
Let’s be honest. Most websites preaching tips to win roulette are written by people wanting to promote online casinos. And they’ll give you the worst advice that will lose you money. The only way you’ll win in the long term is with sheer luck.
Some of the worst but most popular systems include:
The Martingale: This is basically doubling up on losses.
The Fibonacci: This is where your bet size is the sum of the previous two bets, assuming you lost on the previous spin.
Among other losing systems include the Labouchere. There are too many to name, and they often have one thing in common – they don’t even attempt to predict the winning number on the wheel. They are also usually high risk betting strategies that don’t even consider basic rules of roulette such as the payouts. They don’t take into account croupier behavior, ball bounce, scatter or anything that is actually important.
Gambling vs professional betting strategies
Gambling is when you bet without any defined strategy. Whether you profit or lose depends on luck. And when you gamble, your money if gradually lost due to the house edge. An ineffective betting strategy is no different to random bets on the table. And although the betting logic may make sense in your mind, the patterns may be an illusion. So I always advise properly testing the working principles of your betting strategy.
The best types of bets
The two main types are inside bets and outside bets. Inside bets include single-number bets and splits. Outside bets include colors, dozens, streets, highs and lows, odds and evens, and columns.
You simply cannot win roulette with outside bets. So if you base a system on say a dozen, losing in the long term is a mathematical and scientific certainty.
Neighbor bets are a much better option because the numbers you bet on are physically next to each other on the wheel, hence the word neighbors.
If you check our page explaining the mathematics of roulette, you’ll understand the house edge for any of the bets are the same. There are some bets with better odds of winning, but they all have the same house edge. It’s the same case for American roulette or European roulette.
Should you use progression bets?
Progression bets are when you increase or decrease the amount you wager, based on whether you’ve had wins or losses. This doesn’t increase your chances of winning because roulette spins are independent events. One spin is not related to the next, at least in the way most players think. So a bet staking plan based on progression wont at all change the odds of winning. The progression sequence of betting only changes the amount you risk on an individual spin.
You can confirm the concept by analyzing past spin results from real wheels. Never test your strategy by first betting real money.
Best casinos to win roulette online
There are more online casinos than you’ll ever play at, but presently around 20 wheels. This is because many casinos use the same video footage of wheels, provided by companies such as Netent. See the articles about the best live roulette casinos, which use real wheels to bet on. I don’t list all of the live roulette casinos, but they aren’t hard to find. I’ve only listed the most reputable ones that have never refused payouts, at least that I’m aware of. Before you invest time and risk real money playing, take some times to ensure the casino doesn’t have a reputation of payout refusal. There are many dishonest casinos – even some of the big names, including William Hill.
Roulette betting progression is when you vary the bet size after either win or loss. These types of roulette bets are only useful if you begin with a legitimately effective roulette system. There is a place for roulette betting progression, but not in the way most players use it.
Negative Progression
This is when you decrease bet size after losses. You can use negative progression so you stay at the table longer. But it wont increase your chances of losing because it only decreases the rate at which you lose.
Positive Progression
Positive progression is the most popular form, because it involves increasing the bet size, and most players believe that wins will cover their losses. This is partially true because if you get lucky with a larger bet, you can recover losses. But essentially all increasing bet size does is increase the amount you wager. So you can either be lucky and win big, or unlucky to lose big.
My website has free software to win roulette, and none of them require betting progression. All use flat betting methods where you bet the same amount each spin. It is the same case for roulette computers.
Each Spin is an Independent Event
Assuming the roulette game is fair, each roulette spin is a completely independent event. Putting this into context, you could have many red spins in a row and naturally assume that red is on a streak. But if you test carefully, you’ll understand that the odds of red or black winning next still haven’t changed. You can easily test this for yourself, although I suggest using automated software so you can test a statistically significant amount of spins. It does no good to test over just a few spins.
The first time I learned this was after a big win at the casino. I won a few thousand dollars, and was on the way to the cashier. Then I noticed the winning number display on another roulette table had many reds in a row. My gut instinct was that red had been on a run for some time, and that black was due to spin. So I placed a large stack of chips on black and waited for the spin. To my disappointment, red won again. The streak of red had continued. So on the next spin, I bet black once more with all my remaining chips. And yet again, red won. I had lost all my winnings, but learned a valuable lesson.
Later I created an Excel spreadsheet to test whether or not red or black is more likely after a long run of red. I specifically checked for multiple instances in my spins where there was a long run of red. Then I checked how many times each red and black won next. I found the odds hadn’t changed. Therefore you could say I was a little deluded by betting on black.
Cold Numbers Vs Hot Numbers
Cold numbers are numbers that haven’t won in some time. Hot numbers are numbers that have won frequently in the recent past. Many players build systems around hot or cold numbers. So which system is the best approach? The truth is they are exactly the same. Even if you had perhaps number twenty-eight spin three times consecutively, it may be your gut instinct to bet number twenty-eight for the next spin. But the odds of winning on a European wheel are still one in thirty-seven, because there are thirty-seven pockets. Using the same simulations in my Excel spreadsheet, I tested hundreds of thousands of spins where particular numbers won consecutively. Then I would determine the amount of times the same number appeared on the next spin. And the result is one in thirty-seven times. Of course this is going back around twenty years ago when I didn’t know better.
I lost many thousands of dollars chasing patterns, including hot or cold numbers, when the patterns only exist in my head. Retrospectively, I would have saved myself a lot of time and money if I only listen to what the experts had to say. Now I’m one of the experts trying to explain it to you. I suggest you take the advice and understand what I’m saying.
As it is now, many inexperienced players on roulette forums tend to ignore what more experienced players have to say. I was no different when I was an inexperienced player. I didn’t want to be told what the facts were. I wanted to find out for myself. Perhaps it was ignorance and stubbornness, which is not a good approach for any business venture. The moral of the story is you don’t have to listen to more experienced players, but you will certainly benefit from it.
When Should Progression Be Used?
Positive progression can are often used to recover losses if you first have an edge. But you need to be sure about your edge, which means you should have a strong mechanism or analysis method for determining whether or not you have an edge.
Say for example you are using a roulette computer and your peak has high clear bars where you are betting, and you are having a lot of near-misses where the ball lands very close to the numbers you bet on.
This is a common situation, so I don’t advise betting too few numbers. The roulette computer should give you an analysis to tell you exactly how many numbers you should bet on for optimal profits.
One solution may be to widen your betting arc. This will greatly reduce the chance of having many near misses.
Another strategy is to increase your bet size, which is generally safe from a betting perspective because you already clearly have an edge.
But the best solution would be to ensure your betting at is apt the optimal level, while increasing bet size. This gives you the best of both worlds.
Another important factor is you need to be out of the casino with your profits as soon as possible. In particularly when it comes to using a roulette computer or visual ballistics, the last thing you want is to be betting on hundreds of spins with small bets. It is not so much the size of your bets or winnings that gives you away, it is mostly your style of play. And if you are constantly winning over hundreds of spins, this gives the casino ample data to analyse to determine if your behaviour is consistent with roulette computer or visual ballistics play.
For this reason, it is not uncommon for a roulette computer user to play only five spins before leaving. Chances are that at least one of these spins will win, and it may only be about $300 or so profit, but at least the player can do it many times without arousing any suspicion.
Putting this into the context of progression, a roulette computer player may first calibrate the device over 30 to 60 spins, so that full accuracy is achieved. After confirming the accuracy is optimal, they can now safely bet high over the next few spins. They may have determined that if they bet on 15 numbers, they will win on around 90% of spins. I’m using this example because these are the results achieved in the recorded public demonstration video on my website. So in this case, the first bet covering 15 numbers is likely going to be a win. If it isn’t, then the player could double their bet. If they lose again, they could triple debit. The chances of losing in all three spins is a very low. This is the only way the progression can be used to increase the chances of winning, while keeping a low profile in the casino environment.
Also to clarify an issue, you would not necessarily “need” to bet 15 numbers. You may need to bet only 1 number. I’m using the example of 15 numbers because in the recorded public demo, 15 numbers was the “optimal” amount of numbers to cover.
The best way to bet on roulette, and the truth about what really works.
Most people think there’s no real roulette system that works. These people have no real experience in roulette and in fact, there are many systems that do work and cost casinos a fortune.
Firstly, perhaps we’ll draw the distinction between a roulette strategy and roulette system. Most players will consider them much the same thing, however I consider a strategy to be more with matters such as withdrawing funds, avoiding detection, how you structure your team and so on. I consider the roulette system to be the actual mechanism of bet selection.
Nevertheless, this article is more written for people who are new to roulette, and are looking for the safest roulette bet, strategy or system, whatever you’d like to call it.
Keep in mind this article is more for players who just want to have fun, without any serious intent to earn a living from roulette. If you want to earn a living from roulette, see www.roulettephysics.com which explains a more appropriate approach.
Inside vs Outside Bets
Inside bets are roulette bets such as individual numbers, and generally I wouldn’t advise them for the casual player. However it may be important for you to know that these are in fact the only types of bets you can beat roulette in the long-term. But for the casual player who is perhaps on a vacation to Vegas, they wouldn’t be suitable because it is not uncommon for a particular number to not win in 200 or so spins. Likewise, random bet selection of individual numbers can give you a similar losing streak.
So I recommend that casual players stick to outside bets such as colours, dozens, odds and evens and so on.
Alternatively, if you like the concept of inside bets, then try sprinkling across a greater array of individual numbers. This is not as convenient though because spreading this many chips can be difficult, especially when some old lady is in your way. Believe me this same old lady tends to be in the same casino everywhere.
Any method that works involves inside roulette bets, including methods to predict roulette numbers visually, roulette wheel bias, and the best winning roulette system explained on my home page.
Bankroll Management
When a winning roulette strategy is used correctly, bankroll management becomes less important because the approach becomes a relatively safe roulette strategy. Especially when you become impatient, or perhaps are driven by adrenaline, it is easy to dramatically increase the size of your bets to chase that big win. This is one of the first steps to gambling addiction, but let’s assume you are just having some fun once in a blue moon. It still pays to have strict rules that you don’t break. Bankroll management plan allows you to do this.
A simple and safe strategy involves setting the bet size based on your remaining bankroll. You can adopt the same strategy in sports betting, horseracing etc. In the case of roulette, perhaps start with $25 units, and once you reach your profit target, leave and cash in your chips. If your bankroll depletes, then reduce the size of your bets to perhaps $5 units. Generally if you are playing online or with touch bet roulette, you have a greater flexibility to vary the bet size, because placing your bets is quicker and easier.
Such a roulette strategy is particularly useful if you wish to sustain long periods of play, without going bust.
The Up and Down Red/Black Strategy: a Good Safe Roulette System
If you are just playing for fun, the following roulette strategy can do quite well in the short-term, and at least be lower risk than many other strategies that involve a lot of bets.
Start by betting one chip on red. If you lose, on the next spin, make the same bet plus one chip. If you win, then reduce your bet by one chip. Of course this approach is still based on luck, but you will often find this simple approach will quickly pay for a meal while visiting for the casino.
One adaptation of this system is to run the process on all even chance bets, all at the same time. It works very well in the short term, but in the long term it is no different to any other bet. This doesn’t mean you can repeat it with lots of players in the short term and profit, because lots of short term players is no different to a single player in the long term.
Whats The Safest Roulette Bet?
They are all much the same in the long term. But if you are looking for something “safe”, then you are probably referring to a safe bet that wont blow your bankroll. You could bet 35 numbers on the roulette wheel, and perhaps you’ll see that as “safe”, but then you risk losing a larger sum, although the odds are against it. But again it’s not as if you can repeat the process many times in the casino and expect that you wont eventually lose. See more of my roulette articles for further detail.
Many people might suggest a red or black bet is the safest. This is untrue because they are still affected by the house edge. A bet like red may mean you’ll win more often, but it’s really no different to betting on 18 numbers. Except with betting 18 numbers, at least your bets can represent a specific wheel sector.
The Winning Systems Used By Professionals
Maybe you’re not necessary looking for a safe system to keep your winnings longer. Perhaps you want to play professionally and earn a living from roulette. If that’s that case, then you need a roulette system that applies physics. Roulette strategies that apply physics are the only methods that legitimately beat roulette in the long term, and from this perspective, they are the safest roulette systems. But they’re very different to a system like the Martingale, where you use betting progression.
They are very safe to apply because:
You use flat bets only – your bets are the same size on each spin. You can use betting progression, but you don’t need to. You rely on a long term edge to win, not luck.
You have a higher edge than the casino’s typical -2.7% edge against you.
The only real danger of a professional roulette system is that if conditions on the wheel change, you can go from predicting the correct sector to avoiding it. And this makes you win lose than you would with random bet selection. That’s why professional systems are often called a double-edged sword. But used correctly, a professional system is far safer than most systems, and more assured to make a profit.
See the home page www.roulettephysics.com for the best and safest roulette systems that work.
There are a lot of roulette bots for online casinos, which make the application of systems and roulette strategies easier. One of the commercial ones is roulette bot pro, but there is one with a similar name called “roulette bot plus”. I intially confused the two because of similar names. I have limited experience with roulette bot pro, but my understanding is it is is a cross between a betting bot and roulette xtreme, which is a system tester. From what I have seen though, the systems that it is capable of applying do not beat roulette in the long term. Nevertheless, it is not a system itself, it is just a tool to help you apply systems. If you want to learn about professional roulette systems that really work, go to www.roulettephysics.com which includes lots of free professional advice to teach you how to win at roulette.
Roulette bot plus, a common scam
Roulette bot plus is something entirely different. I first heard of it from the owner who wanted to promote it on my forums. He offered various commissions pertaining to actual online casino player signups. The idea behind the software is it leads people to believe the bot wins in practise sessions, so you can win a fortune with real casinos – not any casino though. Only the ones that the promoter specifies. So basically roulette bot plus is a scam to get you to join and lose at online casinos. There are many like it, with an older one being Andruchi, who has attacked me widely even with dedicated websites becasue he didn’t like people knowing what he was doing. He did much the sme thing as roulette bot plus, which is giving a great free system that supposedly only works at specific casinos. It will work great in practise sessions, but not with real money.
You have to wonder how such a blatant scam can be allowed to exist. I’ve been scammed many times in the past, and I mean for rather large sums that qualify as “serious fraud” under the government definitions. For one particular case, I went through the whole process of reporting it to the police, interviews, recordings etc. And the end result was there was nothign the police could do unless the individual would admit to defrauding me. This is because to a jury, all the scammer would need to is say he believed his claims at the time. But if it was a federal case where the government is prosecuting someone, the prosecutor will jump on every tony bit of evidence to support their claim.
How can so many roulette scams exist?
If you expect the government to deal with a scam that doesn’t directly affect them, expect nothing will be done, unless it affects many thousands of people. And this is even if it’s all happening within your country. Now add the complexities of international borders, and scams like roulette bot plus will exist for a long time.
It still surprises me that people could think someone would give away a free bot and system, that is making people tonnes of money, but only if you join specific casinos. We have all been victims to scams before, but use common sense and you can avoid the obvious ones.
Do any roulette bots work?
A bot isn’t a system – many bots can place bets for you automatically. But before you use your roulette system, it makes sense to properly test it first. I’ll explain more about system testing in a seperate article. The roulette bots my players use must be used in conjunction with my roulette wheel analysis software (JAA). It can also be used for visual ballistics players online. Essentially you enter the data you get from the JAA software, and each spin you click relevant reference numbers, and it covers neighbor bets almost instantly. This is perfect for players who want to use roulette computers or visual ballistics online, although because of what we’ve done to online casinos, most are now calling no more bets much earlier. While this doesn’t affect the JAA software users, it makes winning with roulette computers online much more difficult, or impossible. The situation for real casinos is different though because they aren’t going to regularly face multiple roulette computer or visual ballistics players day after day, so they’ll usually only call no more bets earlier IF they suspect someone is using a computer.
Many of you would already know most of the above, but it is written more for people who are new to the endless list of online casino scams. A good telltale sign of a system that works is one that relies on any kind of roulette betting progression, or claims to be the best red black roulette system.

Types Of Roulette Bets and Bet Placement
Different types of bets have different odds, but the house edge is on the same on every bet. Although some bets have better odds, one bet is not more profitable than another.
(1) Straight (1 number): 35-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 35 units). The example covers number 2.
(2) Split (2 numbers): 17-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 17 units). The example covers numbers 2 & 6.
(3) Street (3 numbers): 11-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 11 units). The example covers 7, 8 & 9.
(4) Square (4 numbers): 8-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 8 units). The example covers 8, 9, 11 & 12.
(5) Six Line (6 numbers): 5-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 5 units). The example covers numbers 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 & 18.
(6) Colours (18 numbers): 1:1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 1 unit). The example covers all black numbers.
(7) Dozens (12 Numbers): 2-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 2 units). The example covers numbers 13 to 24 (the second dozen).
(8) Highs / Lows (1-18 or 19-36): 1-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 1 unit). The example covers numbers 19 to 36.
(9) Odds/Evens (18 numbers): 1-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 1 unit). The example covers all odd numbers.
(10) Columns (12 numbers): 2-1 payout (pays your original bet PLUS 2 units). The example covers numbers 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35.
Inside and Outside Bets
The two main types of bets are “inside” and “outside”. There are different betting limits for each type of bet. The betting limits are significantly higher for outside bets.

Roulette Wheel Diagram: The Types Of Roulette Wheels
The two types of roulette wheels are the American 00 wheel, and the European Single 0 wheel. All that’s different about them is the order of the numbers on the wheel, and the American version has an extra pocket (00). The casinos advantage is higher with the American roulette wheel, so it is preferable to play on European wheels, which have a single green zero.
The American wheel has both single and double 0 pockets, whereas the European wheel only has a single green 0. The layout of each wheel type is below:
Many casinos offer betting terminals where you sit at a computer screen, and the winning number is determined by a computer, instead of a real roulette wheel. This is called RNG roulette, and RNG stands for “random number generator”.
It is important to understand that this is not roulette at all – it is a slot machine with computer animations of a roulette wheel. It is exactly the same thing as playing a slot machine. While the convenience of RNG may be appealing, you cannot beat it long-term. The only roulette you can beat is real roulette, and that involves a real physical roulette wheel.
The Betting Table
The betting table is where you place all bets. It is fairly self-explanatory. There are many different types of bets, with the simplest being a flat number. Also see the section that explains types of bets. But a summary is there are two types of bets:
Inside bets: These are bets on individual numbers, two numbers, four numbers etc. One chip can be positioned to bet on multiple numbers.
Outside bets: These are actually the worst type of bets from a professional player’s view. If you’ve read a site advising these as safe bets, they are wrong, and probably referring to there being less time before winning bets, at least on average. Types of roulette bets include red and black (most popular), the 1-18 and 19-36 (betting that one number between each of these values will spin), odds and evens (odd or even number), the dozens (1-12, 13-24, 25-36). If you bet on any of the outside areas, you will lose if the winning number is green zero.
Is there a best roulette bet? Well besides betting based on sectors of the wheel, not really. If you are playing just for fun, one bet is just as good as another. But if you are playing professionally, then you need to apply roulette physics to predict where the ball is most likely land. And you can achieve a reasonable player edge by predicting wheel sectors, or areas around the wheel. For this purpose, it is convenient to use what’s called “neighbor bets”.
The Betting Racetrack
Not all roulette tables have a betting racetrack as shown above. It allows players to more easily bet on specific areas of the wheel.
Voisins Du Zero: Covers all numbers around zero, from 22 to 25 (22, 18, 29. 7, 28, 12, 35, 3,26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25
Orphelins: Covers numbers on the left and right sides of the wheel (1, 20, 14, 31, 9, 6, 34, 17
Often if you bet on a racetrack on a real table, the dealer will announce your bet to the pit boss. This is for a few reasons, and it draws attention to the possibility you may be a professional player. This is because professional players usually bet on wheel sectors. But if you bet on a touch bet screen, no such announcement is needed.
How to Join a Table
Before you play roulette, first you must convert cash to casino chips. To do this, usually you place your money flat on the table after the dealer calls “place your bets”. They’ll then ask you what value chips you wish to buy. For example, $1, $5, $25 etc.
You can usually choose either coloured chips, all the common the casino chips. The common chips have a dollar amount specified on them, and you can use them at any game in the casino. The colour chips can be assigned virtually any value you want. They are specially coloured to help you track which chips are yours on the betting table. If you become a professional roulette player, you will later learn it is best to avoid the colour chips because they also help casinos track your winnings.
If you are playing with the view to play professionally, everything must start with correct wheel selection because you cannot beat all wheels. This is for a variety of reasons, with the most common being practicality. For example, a wheel that spins once every 5 to 10 minutes is far too infrequent, and this kind of frequency does happen on busy Friday and Saturday nights. But at the same time, you don’t want to choose a table that is too quiet, because then your winnings are more noticeable for casino staff. When selecting the actual wheel, there are a variety of procedures to determine which wheel is most likely to produce the most predictable spins.
Procedure For Betting
Basically when the dealer announces “place your bets”, you place your chips on whatever numbers you want. Every betting table has minimum and maximum bets, and they are different for each type of bet. The betting limits are displayed at every table. If you bet outside the limits, the dealer will physically move your bets and tell you the bet was rejected.
Next, the dealer picks up the ball and spins the wheel. In most casinos, the dealer waits for the ball to slow down towards the end of the spin before calling “no more bets”. At this point, the dealer ways their hands over the table to signify no more bets are permitted for that particular spin.
When the ball lands, the dealer places a marker to identify the winning number on the betting table. The dealer then pays out winning players. When they are complete, the dealer calls “place your bets” at which point you can collect your winnings, and the process repeats.
The ‘En Prison’ Rule
This type of bet applies only even even number bets. Not all casinos offer En Prison rules, and you can see the difference on the betting table. Basically if the winning number is green zero, you can either collect half your bet or leave it in place for the next spin. Now if you lose on the next spin, you lose the entire amount you wagered.
The ‘La Partage’ rule
The la partage rule is when you lose half your wagered amount, but you aren’t able to leave your bet for the next spin. Again it applies only to the even money bets such as reds and blacks, highs and lows, odds and evens. The rule takes effect when the winning number is green zero. Both the La Partage and En Prison rules reduce the house edge. But generally professional players don’t apply these rules, and focus more on predicting the winning numbers.
How To Manage Your Bankroll
Always be aware of how much you have won or lost. Avoid betting strategies such as the Martingale, where you rapidly increase bet size after losses. They may quickly win back losses, or you may quickly lose your entire bankroll. Systems such as the Martingale and Labouchere are gambling in every sense of the word, and are a good way to ensure losing everything. They will only be profitable with simple luck.
Dealers and Pit Bosses
The dealers are also known as croupiers, and they spin the wheel. But it is not uncommon for the wheel to spun automatically by a robot. The pit boss is the supervisor that overseas operations of usually 2 to 4 wheels. It is their responsibility to ensure procedures are followed. They also have a direct link to the casino surveillance staff, who may instruct the pit boss to take particular action, or keep an eye on specific players.
Contrary to what you may think, most dealers and pit bosses want players to win. It is not their money at risk, they hate to see people lose a lot of money. If you are winning discretely, most casino staff are happy to let you continue to do so, provided you don’t make them look incompetent. We know this because many of our team members are ex-casino staff. However, of course every individual is different, and there are always staff members that do their job properly.
Cashing out winnings
If you have chosen coloured chips, you will need to have them converted to the standard denomination casino chips, which are assigned a dollar value. Once this is done, you may leave the table and approached the cash out register. If your winnings are above a particular threshold, photo identification must be shown, and in some cases payouts must be via written check only, and not cash. If you are playing professionally, it is absolutely critical to avoid detection, and you will need to carefully cash in amounts that avoid the threshold. There are many tips and tricks to avoiding detection from casino staff, but this is one of the obvious ones.
The procedures and rules for playing roulette are the same wherever you go in the world. The exceptions are if you play rapid roulette, or on automated roulette wheels. These usually have automated systems that collect your money. They also offer print out receipts for you to cash out at the cashier.
Avoiding Common Misconceptions
One of the most common mistakes a roulette player will make is to increase bets after losses, without any consideration to predicting the winning number. It should be obvious that roulette is all about the winning number. And the idea is to bet on the winning number. But almost every roulette system does not even consider why the ball lands where it does. It sounds ridiculous but it’s true.
For example, a simple system may be to bet on red but increase your bet size after a loss. The theory is that increasing the bet size will allow you to win back any losses. But the reality is you are simply increasing the amount you wager on the next spin. Each spin has no correlation to the following spin, at least not in the way that such a betting system assumes.
Another example is consider 10 reds spinning in a row. One roulette player says “red is on a streak, I must bet red”. Another player says “black is due to spin next, so I’ll bet black”. So who is right? Neither of them. This is because the odds of red or black spinning are still 50/50 (neglecting the existence of zero for now). It’s amazing how every player at the table things either one way or the other when there is a long streak of a particular colour. Meanwhile the casino owner is sitting back rubbing their hands, grateful that the players have no idea that the illusion of streaks or due events is all in the player’s head.
What is the best roulette bet?
The best bet is wherever the ball lands. Duh, right? But let me explain more. Firstly, you can’t know exactly what number will win on every spin. But on most wheels, it is at least possible to predict which area the ball will bounce to, and you can have at least better than random accuracy. You need to understand the house edge with roulette is only small, and you only need to have slight accuracy of predictions to put the edge in your favor. You’d think it would be impossible to predict where the ball bounces, and you’d think the dealer’s spin speeds would control it all. But take your time to read this website and understand the principles that make roulette a much more predictable game than you may think.
How Important are the Odds?
The odds only tell you how often you can expect to win if the accuracy of your bet selection is no better than random. If you apply advantage play methods that use physics to predict the winning number, then the odds change, although generally the player edge becomes the focus. The odds of winning do not tell you how profitable bets are, because the house edge is the same for all bets.
The House Edge
Any roulette strategy must consider the house edge. The house edge is the normal edge the casino has over players. On the European wheel, it is -2.7% and on the American wheel, it is -5.26%. So the advantage the casino has over players is much greater with the American wheel. However, in either case it’s still only a minor advantage the casino has. But unless the accuracy of the player’s predictions is better than random, this small edge is enough for the casino to reliably profit over the long term. It is inevitable that some players will win in the short-term, but the casino thinks in terms of tens of thousands of spins and thousands of players, not individual players. The only time casinos consider individual players is if they appear to be using a professional roulette system.
Simply put, the house edge means “unfair payouts”. An example is if started with a bankroll 37 units, and bet on 0 for 37 spins. Statistically you will win 1 in 37 spins because there are 37 pockets (on the European wheel). But the payout is only 35 to 1. So if you win, you are paid 35 chips PLUS your original bet. So after around 37 spins, you are left with 36 units (loss of 1 unit). If the house edge didn’t exist, payouts would be fair and you would be left with 37 units (no profit and no loss).
The only way to overcome the “unfair payouts” (house edge) is to increase the accuracy of your predictions. This is done with advantage play techniques that use roulette wheel physics.
Call Bets
Called or announced bets are bets that are made by speaking them, without actually placing the bets. These type of bets are not permitted in all jurisdictions, mostly because it creates opportunities for cheating players to place bets without having any money.
Neighbour Bets
These are typically used by professional roulette strategy players to bet on particular physical sectors of the roulette wheel. For example, a neighbour bet on zero for the European roulette wheel will typically cover numbers 3,26,0,32,15. This is because sector based bets are used in advantage play methods. In particularly the European casinos, a neighbour bet must be given to the dealer, who then announces the bet to the pit boss. From a professional player’s perspective, it is not wise to do this too often as it attracts attention. Neighbour bets are placed on a circular representation of the wheel situated on the betting table, called the race track.
It would be great if all casinos games could be beaten. When I first got into gambling, I attempted to beat all kinds of games including the slot machines. Unfortunately slot machine simply cannot be beaten. The simple reason comes down to you cannot predict the outcomes of spins. In particularly with slot machines, the outcomes of the reels are fixed, and there is no way to predict them. Therefore, you cannot increase the accuracy of predictions. And ultimately this means there is no way to increase your chances of winning.
Most online casinos that offer roulette play for free use rigged software that is guaranteed to make you win. This is so you fall into thinking that your roulette system works, and you join the casino to play for real. But when you start betting with real money, the real software algorithms begin work, the casino has a long term advantage over you, and you end up losing your money.
The European wheel has 37 pockets, including numbers one through to 36, and just a single green zero. The European wheel house edge is -2.7%. See the roulette odds page for more detail.
Whether you are looking for a free Roulette game to download in order to test your roulette system or strategy, it is important to know that not all roulette games are the same. The majority of roulette games you can download or play online are created by online casinos, and they specifically and deliberately payout more than what should be expected if the game was fair. Software designers deliberately tipped the odds in the players favour to give the illusion that the players betting strategy works. The idea is that the player will be more encouraged to sign up at the recommended casino.
Most roulette tips websites are written with the sole purpose of promoting online casinos, and they are written by people with no real experience in playing roulette. This page lists simple but genuinely valuable tips for beginners, intermediate and advanced players. The beginner tips are assuming you are just looking to have fun and aren’t using a professional roulette system. The intermediate roulette tips are for those who have played roulette many times, but are looking to expand their horizons. And the professional tips are for people already with experience with professional roulette strategies.
The best roulette betting system is the JAA roulette system (click link), but this page is focused more on betting strategies. Recently I conducted a survey to determine the average success of my players. As I expressed in the report on findings, there was a very large difference in what players had achieved. Some literally earned millions over the course of many years, and some earned nothing. This ultimately is due to two main factors: where they play (the suitability of wheels), and their experience. An experienced player will find and exploit an edge on a wheel that an inexperienced player will not even notice. More detail about what players achieved is on an article at my site. This article is more to do with how many of the more successful players had achieved large winnings.
You may be think a roulette strategy that beats roulette consistently means money will fall from the sky. The truth of the matter is even an effective roulette system is work. But certainly any strategy that legitimately does beat roulette, if used correctly, can earn more than a standard job. To go straight to the two best methods that work, see the
