Not all that bad! June 7, 1999 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Nothing earth shattering as the previous review says but I wouldn't say this is horrible. It is rather innovative and although it is true you cannot overcome the edge via a progression no matter how clever this "system is not 100% garbage. I have used it many mnay times and far more often than not come out ahead in total. One CAUTION though as stated previously... this centers upon the distribution of the numbers and so this does NOT work with computer systems/simulation using pseudo-random number generators. If you want to play on-line I suggest you look at software that exploits the random number generators... there are several avail on-line.
Should you quit your job and stake everything on this system? Hell no.. but if you occaisionally hit the roulette wheel it sure beats playing your "lucky" numbers... I do agree there needs to be more on money management and stop losses. Have fun with this but remeber they call it gambling for a reason... there is always a risk.
Fair book but nothing earth shattering here... September 5, 1998 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The author presents another "strategy" to attempt to beat the wheel. Although I have used it and done fairly well I do not play roulette often enough to have given it an adequate sample. You must have a bankroll large enough to sustain the losing streaks which can be considerable longer than the author leads you to believe. He states you will rarely go more than six spins without winner on a real wheel. - he does not advocate the use of a computer since he feels that although his bet placement covers just under 50% of the wheel the contiguous nature of his numbers make the odds in his favor significantly greater than 50/50 but only on an actual wheel rather than a random number generator found in most computer simulations/games. Also most authorities on gambline have long ago discarded the idea that a martingale negative betting progression can ever make you a winner in the long run (nor can it compensate for a poor system). Using this progression system also increases your "risk of ruin" to an unacceptable level for most. He does present an interesting angle on the arrangements of the numbers and why the bets are placed where they are in his system. There is not enough on money management here though.
Also I suppose this depends on who you side with on the question of the possibility of beating a game with a built in house edge. The novice gambler would certainly be better served by another title that is more comprehensive. This book is mostly pages and pages of roulette sessions. If the text alone were printed it would only be about 25 pages. Still it is one more approach and a new one at that. You won't be able to quit your day job but playing this "system" probably beats playing your lucky numbers over and over again.
A waste of time January 9, 1998 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is garbage. If winning at roulette was this easy, casinos would have closed down long ago. The cover shows a European wheel and then gives details solely for an American wheel. I am amazed that this was published.
