Editorial Review: Product Description: So, you thought that roulette could not be beaten? Well, you are not on your own because millions of people around the world share this view. However, roulette can be beaten and Warriors of the Wheel will show you how. This book relates the tales of daring and imaginative roulette players who have taken the casino industry for vast sums of money down the years. Of course, if you are playing on a perfect roulette table and the dealers are conducting the game faultlessly then you cannot win. However, in the real world this is rarely the case. The game has numerous weaknesses and these have been mercilessly exposed and then exploited not only by people on the inside but by everyday punters. In Warriors of the Wheel you will read about the man who took the casinos for an estimated $50 million and many others just like him. The systems used by people to beat roulette are techniques that the gaming industry would rather you didnt know about. Much of the material in Warriors of the Wheel has been kept under wraps over the years but there is also material here which will come as a shock even to hardened casino operatives. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Does not live up to its titleProduct description is misleading. It infers the book will tell how the game can be beaten. Its tales of daring and imaginative roulette players fail to deliver. Borrowing from Killer Roulette's back-cover teaser and paraphrasing, the book "has numerous weaknesses." In the introduction, the author states the reader "will learn how biased wheels are formed and how to detect them as well as how professionals cheat on roulette." (p. 13) No, it does not live up to its claim. It is, however, a rambling he-said, I-replied- let's fill up the pages with some words like calculated, biased wheel, cheating move, prediction, low profile wheel, computer program, and other terms that don't deliver. The author talks about how one could hide in the toilet above the ceiling panel waiting until the casino closes so to rig the wheel, or smearing some chemical on the black numbers of the wheel to create a bias, and other equally absurd acts that would be sure to earn the perpetrator jail time. There are better books that actually do relate the history of roulette, how to play, systems some players have used, and how to spot a biased wheel or a dealer's signature. Search inside the book, and have a few-pages-random read. Click surprise me a few times, and you will see how shallow the writing is. Rating:  - Croupiers Can Indeed Control Which Roulette Numbers HitImportant material here for the serious roulette player...Dealer control of where the ball lands is an idea that is kept secret by Vegas. Giving it publicity would badly hurt the game and the amount gambled. The best system I know is to figure out what numbers the dealer is trying to hit and then bet them after he has released the ball. Set the dealer up by betting small amounts away from where he is intent upon hitting. And if he shows he is still trying for HIS OWN numbers, swoop in with all your chips after he has released the ball and bet the new numbers. The looks you will get from the dealer and the pit boss, you will remember for years. Of course, this is a guerilla strategy. Do it, make your money and leave. I came by this approach after long conversations with a 20 year veteran croupier who could hit sections just as the author suggests he could. ANother tip is to tip the dealers and try to get them on your side. I wrote a book about this a few years ago. I still sell it. William TigerSoftCom Watch the speed of the wheel. If the dealer speeds up the wheel, he is not trying to hit a same numbers he has been hitting. If he lets the speed of the wheel continue as is, you have a good clue he is trying to repeat his numbers or control the new mumbers by making small adjustments. Rating: - Very Good Read!"Killer Roulette" is a very enjoyable, interesting, and well written book, with many fascinating stories which will no doubt become a important part of Roulette lore. This book answers many commonly asked questions about the game of Roulette, although it is not necessarily a method book, but rather, an insider's look into the people involved with Roulette, and the intrinsic nature of the game itself. I found it to be a very worthwhile addition to my gambling library. Browse for similar items by category: Click to Display |
