The craziest casino story is that of Chris Boyd. In 1994 he decided to fulfill his dream in the casino of Las Vegas on the Roulette wheel. Chris had saved 0,000 over a three year period, and wanted to put it all on one spin of the wheel. It wasn’t very easy to find a casino that would let him make such a huge bet. With refusals from most of the major casinos, Chris was referred to Binion’s Horseshoe Club. 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 decided to place his bet 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.

Roulette computers are electronic devices designed to predict the outcome of spins and win at roulette. They are far more effective than any roulette strategy. They measure the speed and deceleration of the wheel and ball predict where the ball is most likely to land. If the computer has been designed correctly, predictions are accurate enough to overcome the house edge and win at roulette. 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. A biased wheel is one of only two true opportunities to overcome the casino's advantage. You must buy in chips before playing roulette and exchange the colored chips for regular casino chips when leaving the Roulette table. Try to avoid 5 number bets, as it has the least profitable payback of all the bets. 7,89 is the house edge of 5 number bets. Never play American Roulette as 00 decreases your chances of winning. European Roulette is more in your favor. Don’t forget about the Surrender option, which is available in European Roulette. And always try to manage your money.
