Hi Gambo


Finally located the roulette book. Just to make sure we are talking about the same one, this one has 3 words in the title which the first letters are T R B.

DISCLAIMER. I bought the book but have not followed it other than put its systems through computiresed simulations, all of which lost. I am only reporting because of your request. I have no opinion other than my own experience.

The first 54 pages of the book are an intro to roulette.

page 56 to 99 describe various wagering plans. The wagering plans are discussed below
pages 101-108 describe what casinos do when you start winning the $100,000 a month by following the systems. A very interesting read.

The systems

1. TRB - You watch a table for 180 spins and write down all the numbers. If the table has 3 numbers that occur more than others, these are hot numbers. You go back the next day and record 60 more. If the 3 numbers come up more often again, then you bet using a progression. I never tested this

2. TWB - A system that bets on the (almost) even money bets (ie red/black) using a mathematical progression after a certain sequence. My tests showed lots of small wins and then a couple of monstrous losses that ended in big losses.

3. WAF - A method that shows theoratically that by covering 33 numbers, you will win all the time, especially after a certain sequence of numbers. (Mathamatically flawed in my opinion)

4. TRF - A progressive system based on the dozens/columns. My tests showed lots of small wins and then a couple of monstrous losses that ended in big losses.

5.ECF - another progressive system (ie 10,40,130.400) on dozens/columns. Again - play it long enough and the casino will get you.

The biggest flaw in the book, is that in most of the examples, 0 never or rarely appears. Except for method 1 which may or may not work depending if you believe that roulette wheels are flawed, the rest are maths progressions that you can source from other places.

The book comes with some tapes about positive thinking.

My conclusion is that all casino games have a built in house advantage that will get you in the end. Like others that have contributed to this page I believe that wagering up to $1,160 to win $10 is not a sound strategy. Bad sequences do occur. Much better to stick to sports and racing strategies where research can give you an edge. Casino games have a built in factor where the edge is with the house.

and of course, if this works so well and easily why does the author want to flog it to us. why not just hire people to work the systems and take 10% of the profit. Easy answer - it doesn't work quite like the author says. It would be interesting to meet the testimonial people after a year or so. most of the systems will work 90% to 95% of the time. But the 5% it losses will bring you back to square -1. I suppose if enough people use it, a small % will always be lucky.

Hope this helps.
