 Rating:  - 250 pages of roulette psycho-babbleUnless you know nothing about gambling and roulette, 90% of this book is useless drivel and the only thing in it that is original and may be of value-- the author's main betting system-- could have been summarized in just a few pages. But then there wouldn't be much of a book to sell, would there? That being said, the betting system is not too bad, but there are magical rules involved such as hopping around to different wheels after a brief win or loss, as if that were going to make a difference-- especially when the bet selection is based on only five previous spins. According to the author's magical rules you are finished at the wheel you are playing after your first win, and cannot play it again till... when? An hour later? Next week? Ofcourse that will make no difference, and that part is not clear, but you are definitely supposed to leave the table after a win and then play and also leave other wheels. Hmmmm... What if I had walked up to the same wheel I was to abandon after playing the series, but a little later-- then wouldn't I in fact be playing the very spins I was not supposed to play had I started earlier at the wheel? Ofcourse I would, and you have to know that if you're making a bet decision based on only five previous outcomes, it cannot make a difference when the table is approached or left, and the prescribed jumping around to different wheels is ridiculous. Furthermore, the author's discussion of the law of averages and how it "helps guide me to the best wagering choice at the tables" is so flawed, because although it's true that "given time, events will seek their proper place within their assigned probablilities," he fails to recognize that the more trials, the closer the expected probabilities will become percentage-wise, but the greater the difference becomes between the comparative groups; suffice it to say that there is nothing in the law of large numbers that can help you during your relatively brief stay at the roulette tables, especially by betting on relatively tiny fragments of spin sequences as the author recommends. Rating:  - Say goodbye to the 5.26% house advantage!After spending much money on other roulette systems, and countless hours trying to figure out how to win this game, I go to the bookstore and pay $15 for this masterpiece. $15...that is all it takes for me to beat the game of roulette. Isn't that ironic? I have achieved about a 14% player advantage over the house at the game of american roulette. This is by far the best book I have ever read on the subject. It is also the only system that I've ever tried that actually works in the long run. I read through this book 3 times and applied my own betting scheme to the main system discussed in this book. The author says it yields a player advantage of 7.94% (on the back cover). He was not joking. I am averaging $85 per hour with this system. And that's just with $5 chips. If $25 chips are used, it will blow your mind! The hardest part was coming up with my own betting scheme. The author gives some examples in the book and then he lets you decide which one is best for you. The other hard part is patience. He states that most gamblers (including the people who left one-star reviews for this book) will not have enough patience to beat roulette or any other game for that matter. This is because casinos are designed to make you get greedy, and blow your savings account like there's no tomorrow. But, if you are in that tiny percentage of patient people in this world, you might have a chance using this system. You also have to really enjoy the game of roulette. I recommend this book to the serious player and also to the part-time roulette enthusiast. You can even use the system for fun if you are not a serious player. Using a progression, you have the potential to dominate the tables. With no progression at all, the worst you can do is break even in the long run. That's a whole lot better than blowing your load. Rating: - Read it and Learn!I bought this book because it was the first book I have seen that DID NOT promote a SYSTEM to beat the tables. I have used the techniques in the book and was using them even before I bought it. The techniques work - not all the time because NOTHING ever does - but they do work. Read this book and learn about what really happens at a roulette table and what you should be looking for. I think this book has a ton of knowledge to offer. If you are looking for a "system", please, give it up. Find books and teachers that offer knowledge and techniques to win - systems never do. Remember - everybody has a system but noboby is rich - interesting - hmmm. Rating: - R O U L E T T E......B O N A N Z A ,,,,THE .."ALMOST PERFECT".. ROULETTE.. BOOK!NOTICE THAT THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE BOOK ON ROULETTE ON AMAZON.COM AS OF THIS EDITING OF MY REVIEW, (30TH August, 2008). There are thosands of books on roulette, and many, many of these are on Amazon.com. Why is this book Number 1? It's easy to read...and it gives methods that WORK! / / .........ROULETTE...$$$$$.....ROULETTE.....$$$$$.....ROULETTE......... / / Yes....or rather, no. This book will NOT teach you the ultimate system to win at roulette. Perhaps no book or other method will. Howewver, THIS BOOK DID GIVE ME SOME METHODS I HAD NVER HEARD OF BEFORE, (ONE IN PARTICULAR, THE 'SESAME STREET/GROUND COFFEE' METHOD), WHICH HAVE NADE NE MORE MONEY, ON A CONSISTENT BASIS, THAN ANY OTHER ROULETTE METHODS I HAVE FOUND ELSEWHERE. ONE DOES HAVE TO MASTER THE SOMETIMES DIFFICULT IDEA OF 'STOPPING WHILST ONE IS AHEAD'....ALWAYS GOOD ADVICE, ESPECIALLY IN GAMBLING. So, this book WON'T make you a multi-millionaire(ess)....but you can use the ideas presented TO WIN A BIT MORE THAN MOST PLAYERS DO....AND NOT JUST ONE TIME, BUT WITH ABOUT 80% CONSISTANCY.....I F...YOU STOP WHILST YOU ARE AHEAD! (In my own experience, at lest, anyway). i also found Mr. Ellison's book aninteresting read....with some very good advice, and also some delightful humour! (Humour...see the advice he gives if outer-space aliens suddenly invade the casino you are playing at...whether it be an on-land casino, or one that is on-line! (Chuckle : ) I am not that good at following other people's instructions, unless they are very good, natural-born teachers. So, sadly, Mr. Ellison's 4-point method was lost on me, though I tried hard to understande it. However, he does mention three "quad" bets to use together, They are illustrated...so even I could follow this! I did win a bit when I played these three together....so Mr. Elison DOES have something there! There is a method in this book which I will call "The Sesame Street Method", so as not to give it away. (The name of this method contains the name of one of the 'Sesame Street' Muppets!) And you'll recognize it, once you see it in the book. It could also be called "The GROUND Coffee-Drinker's Method"....(the emphasis on the word "GRIND" is another clue as to its real name. (Buy the book! You'll recognize this method's real name almost instantly! THIS METHOD...AND/OR MY OWN VARIATIONS OF IT....HAVE MADE ME MORE MONEY, CONSISANTLY, IN ROULETTE THAN ANY OTHER METHOD, OVER TIME! READ ABOUT IT AND TRY IT!!!!!!! : ) Mr. Ellison did NOT invent this particular method....but it is the first time I have seen it described -- obviously it is not as well known as the Martingale or the D'Lambert methods, (also covered in this book, as are all the other basics)....but it works MUCH better than either of these well-known methods, and I am grateful to Mr. Ellison for putting it in his book. With surprising modesty, (all the more so, because he has his own "quad" method to discuss in this book), Mr. Ellison calls this "Sesame-Street Coffee" method, (by another name, of course) 'the only method that will really work." (!) This is NOT a method that Mr. Ellison has invented....but he does discuss it, though very few other books do, and I'm very, very happy that Mr. Ellison has made mention of it. Because I've now tried it -- and yes, it does work....eventually...MOST of the time. JOHN GOLLEHON, another favourite gambling author of mine, said it best, (to paraphrase): to really gamble well, do it JUST ONCE. Then take your profits, (no matter how small), and DON'T GAMBLE EVER AGAIN! Great advice, but, of course, no one follows it, (myself included). For Human Greed is a great ally of all casino owners! In sum, this book offers explainations of several other systems, besides the author's own original one. The aforesaid, "Sesame-Street, Coffee-Lover's" method is, by any name, a pretty good system, all things considered. Mr. Ellison's own "quad" system certainly bears looking into as well. All in all, a very well-written, informative and witty book. Reading it, one can tell Mr. Elison takes the game of roulette seriously...but does not spend all of his time gambling. He plays, but is not overly greedy. A good example to players of roulette, and all other, casino games! Rating:  - Ultimate Fluff!This book and Ellison's magic "system" is not based on any scientific explanation. Author himself doesn't know how his own system works but he saw it working !! If you buy this book, you start losing money on it even before you start playing the roulette ! Browse for similar items by category:
