Chris Boyd seemed to be the craziest gambler in history. In January of 1994, Chris followed his dream to the casinos of Las Vegas for the ultimate roulette spin. Chris had 0,000 and he wanted to bet it on one spin of the wheel. It took him much time to find in Las Vegas a casino, in which he could place such a bet. Having got refusals in most of the casinos Chris went to Binion’s Horseshoe Club, which was the last casino he visited. The maximum table bet on red/black bet in Horseshoe Club was 0,000, but they met him halfway and let him make this bet. The casino also agreed to block out the double-zero on the wheel as this didn’t exist in the European version of the game that Chris was used to playing. Chris placed all his money on red. The casino and the dealer agreed to a few practice spins to ensure that full fairness for everyone concerned, and then the big spin came. The ball landed in number 7, red. Chris won 0,000 instantly, and asked for the money to be put into the casinos cage, and vowed never to gamble again.

When an experienced dealer spins the Roulette wheel and releases the ball with approximately the same speed it is called the dealer signature. As long as there is little or no deflection from the metal stops on the roulette wheel it is possible to predict where the ball will drop. If the number repeats within 100 spins you can turn this to your advantage as this is a biased wheel. If you want to overcome the casino’s advantage then the biased wheel is your chance. Before playing the game you have to buy in special colored chips, and after the game exchange them for regular casino chips. When choosing a bet, try to avoid 5 number bets as the payback with these bets is much lower. The house advantage on a 5 number bet is a whopping 7. 89 percent. Never play American Roulette as 00 decreases your chances of winning. European Roulette is more in your favor. If you play the European Roulette and make the even outside bet use the Surrender option. And always try to manage your money.
