Johno,
I am a Las Vegas dealer who is also interested in gambling
systems and I
frequently "lurk" on the gambling groups and once in a rare while I
will post.I couldn't
resist responding to your "Roulette - not what it appears" post.In my
honest opinion,I don't know who is more delusional,the dealer who
believes he can control
the roulette wheel or the player who believes the dealer can control
the wheel.
I will not lie and tell you that I want to see players win;usually I
want to see them
lose just because if there's nobody on the game it's less work for
me.If they are
tipping or they are pleasant people,I don't mind them winning.Having
said that,let
me say that I don't think ANYONE can control the roulette wheel with
any degree of
regularity if certain factors are maintained,i.e. it is an honest
wheel,spinning at a
medium speed with at least 10 rotations of the ball per
spin,etc...What makes the
ball difficult to control,IMHO,are several factors.The wheel is
spinning in one
direction,the ball in the other.You have deflectors scattered around
the wheel to
further randomize the game.Also,the ball will rarely land in the
number where it
first makes contact with the wheel,but will usually tend to bounce
around the wheel,
sometimes a fair amount.All these variables make it extremely doubtful
that dealers
can control the ball,as you maintain.
If I heard a dealer say he can control the ball,I would
challenge him to prove
his assertion.I would ask him what number(s) he claims he's going to
hit on the next
spin and then let's see him do it,spin after spin on a consistent
basis,where he is
deviating from the percentages significantly.I don't consider
subjective anectdotal
tales from players as proof.I welcome any comments and feedback from
you on
this or any other aspect of gambling.Also,don't think I'm trying to
stick up for the
casinos just because I work for one of them.I think they are greedy
scumsuckers
who would cheat their own mothers if they could get away with it and
it is a known
fact that at one time they did cheat the players.Nowadays they can
play it on the
level and let the house advantage grind out the players.I concur with
Paulsy that
I would not trust an online casino.
That's it for now.Good luck and drop a line if you
have anything to say or discuss.
