Making A Business Out Of Playing Roulette... it sounds nice and when I look at the cover I can see a single zero-wheel at an American single-zero table so I think; "Good! At least we are dealing with the low-loss wheel", and there is nothing in the back-cover text denying this. I want to learn how to live by playing roulette so I open the book, and find an introduction text where the author tells you why he's using a pseudonym and that he is a ROULETTE DEALER! Fantastic, a dealer who teaches his secrets - because dealers do have secrets, don't they? But there is nothing in this book to help a single-zero wheel player become a professional. Nope, at the very first page of the very first chapter the author states that a wheel has 38 compartments - there are no options. Too bad. But why is there a single-zero wheel at the cover? A bit confusing, I think. I mean, a croupier should know the difference, shouldn't he? The first chapter is called "The Game" and is a quick guide to the various bets and pay-outs that are possible. The second chapter is called - YES! - "Beating The Game" and there we learn that certain numbers, not covering a total 50% of the wheel (and in double-zero order), hit at a better that 50% rate! Yup folks! But this is fantastic! This is actually a dealer telling us what must be one of the best guarded secrets in the world - if it gets commonly known the casinos will go bankrupcy, that is for sure! But then - is it really a true dealer who has written this book? Well, I have to ask myself that question as part of the system is the only incorrect odds bet you can do (that is to the casino's favour) - you can actually do the exact same bet in another way and get the correct odds! As a matter of fact, the author claims that the bet having the worst odds, actually has an advantage! (Yes, admittedly the amount of chips used to do the bet the correct way is greater, I know that) This is not all... Mr Smart also shows you the progression to use and (within parentheses) sum it up for you - but the sum is not correct... or maybe I'm misundestanding something but I cannot get to the figure, no matter how I try. The total bankroll should be some 60 units more than he tells you. I'm sorry but this book confuses me. After the numbers to bet and the progression are introduced, the author proves that the system works by using genuine spin sequences from different Nevada casinos. And it looks really winning; there are only TWO losing sessions out of twenty! And the losses were minimal! Why do the sessions stop? I don't know. There is no explanation to that, as far as I can see and the spin sequences are of different lengths, they end with a different net, different number of hits etc etc. There is actually no way to tell so I guess - but this is a guess only - that the end of a sequence is a dealer change although one of the sequences is 123 spins... Why not let us know? The rest of the book is showing variations of the theme and is not much to say about. As is the book. This book confuses me, as I said before. And then it strikes me: maybe Mr Smart really is a true croupier as he claims to be and that the book is written with the purpose to confuse! Maybe Mr Smart serves his employer good... (As the system cannot be used on single-zero wheels - part due to the fact that there are no numbers on those wheels that hit much more than others, part due to the order of the numbers - I haven't been able to use it in Hamburg. Sorry...) Top of page | ||||||||||||||||||||||
