The best ways to beat roulette

There are only two really good ways to beat roulette. One is called a biased wheel, and the other is called a dealers signature. This page will describe each, and the plausibility of using either. When it comes to online roulette, there are other opportunities to beat roulette, depending on the software in question and how bulletproof it is.

A biased wheel is one that has taken on some characteristic that was never intended. This could be wear and tear over the years (in Vegas, they replace the wheels every once in a while to avoid this), or perhaps a poorly manufactured (or programmed, if it's online roulette we want to beat) wheel. Whatever the cause, the result is what we're interested in. If a wheel is slightly tilted or worn, it's possible that the resting place of the ball may happen to land nearer one corner of the wheel, more than any other corner. If this is the case, your odds are good if you have figured out the corner, and are betting all over it! This is a great way to beat roulette, but it's harder and harder to come across.

Online roulette may be beat by a similar method, but the 'biased wheel' would actually work out to be a poorly programmed roulette game. If the random number generator being used by the casino isn't truly random, it may contain a flaw that disproportionately land the ball on one number or some set of numbers more than chance would allow for. There is software available which allows you to record multiple spins on some online roulette software.

The dealer's signature is an interesting phenomenon, and one worth looking more closely at. The basis is that a roulette dealer will develop a pattern in how they spin the wheel and throw the ball into it. If the velocities involved are very similar each spin, there is a chance that the ball will consistently come to rest a set distance around the wheel from where it was released. If you watch the dealer and see where they happen to let go of the ball on a spin, you can see where the ball lands and measure the distance between there and where it was released. If you do this a few times you may find that the distance is fairly consistent. If it is, you've found a dealers signature and you can take advantage of it, and seriously beat roulette.

Just watch the dealer closely as they let go of the ball, then add on from there the distance of the 'signature' you've noticed, then quickly run over to the board and bet on the numbers around where the ball 'should' land. If you're successful in finding a signature, you have to do your best to hide the fact that you're taking advantage of it, or the casino will kick you out the front door faster than you can collect your money.
