5 Gamblers Who Managed To Win Routinely With Roulette
Millions of people tried to win routinely with roulette. A few of them got that good at it that they became world famous.
Joseph Jagger
Joseph Jagger was a British engeneer who believed the roulette wheel couldn’t be in perfect balance and therefor some numbers would appear more often than others.
In 1873 he travelled to Monte Carlo and carefully wrote down the numbers that were drawn of the roulette tables. After looking at the outcomes, he saw that 9 numbers won more often.
In the three days that followed he had won 60,000 pounds, an incredible sum of money in that time. The casino wasn’t happy and started to switch the roulettes with others every single day.
It made it more difficult to win and and Jagger headed back to England. There he quit his job in the factory and invested his money wisely in property.
The Eudaemon Group
Since computers became available gamblers started using it. The Eudaemons were professional gamblers: a group of physics students with the goal of winning money with roulette to fund a scientific society.
After 2 years of carefull they had developed a small computer that could calculate in which part of the roulette the ball would stop.
In 1978 they travelled to a casino in Las Vegas to try it out, but they had to quit suddenly because the roulette player received electrical shocks caused by a failure in the device. A pity: because on each and every dollar they made 44%. The group fell apart and made ‘only’ 10,000 dollars.
Gonzalo Garcia-Pelayo
In the 1990’s more or less the same technique was used in the casino of Madrid. Together with some of his family members Gonzalo betted on the fields a computer predicted. They went unnoticed for various years and won over than 1,000,000 dollars.
They were accused of cheating by the casino… and the Garcia-Pelayo family won.
A man with a simpler strategy was the poker pro Revell. In 2004 he sold everything he possessed (including clothes) and went to Vegas to double the money on a single bet. The entire experience was broadcasted on British television.
The viewers of the show were polled and said he should bet on red… So he did: $135,300 were at stake. When the roulette stopped spinning the number turned out to be red. With the money he won he started his own pokersite.
Still in 2004, a Hungarian woman and two Serbian men won 1.3 million pound in the London Ritz Casino. They made use of a mobile phone with built-in laser to monitor the ball in the roulette. Not much after they got arrested on suspicion of cheating. But were released later and got their entire winnings.
