Article didn't come up but this quote did which seemed fitting.

"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly."

Nevermind. It did this time. When I clicked on it first some thought of the day came up and when I continued it went to the main page and couldn't find the article. Now when I click on it it goes right to the article.

After getting to that quote, you have to click on the arrow to "Continue to Site."

Ooops. You edited while I was typing.

(sigh) Useless. Their tests are based on a single zero wheel, everything near me is double zero.
May the cards fall in your favor.

are we finally learning Bob's secret method?

No, everything near me is double zero. ;)

Sounded like the same basic premise as every roulette computer I've ever heard of, however.

I meant it works on a any roulette wheel,
the zeros are irrelevant.

It's not secret and it's not my method.
It's called visual ballistics and it's been
around for decades.

Wouldn't having another slot for an additional zero change the set wheel predictions greatly? I.e. If you note the velocity of the ball at point X then it means it's going to land in quadrant 3... however if there's one less slot there then it might push it over one or two, possibly to another quadrant?

So I like how if you want to read the actual article you can "rent" it for a day.. or something, for $4. Now if we all pitch in a quarter to rent it, doesn't that give us all the right to read it, and thus share it? =)

Yes, Forbes is a bit behind the times with that article. People have been playing visual ballistics for more than 100 years.

Last time I was in Vegas I was in the Fremont
watching the crappy old wheel they have. I was
there about 2 min and some old pit crony shooed
me away, saying no wheel watching allowed. He
was frowning at me like I stole his rent money. lol

No wheel watching? lol... wonder if they've been hit up by a roulette team (or just extremely paranoid about articles they've read online ;) ).

I swear I've seen versions of that article more than once in the last decade. Oh right, it's from 2012, so may be it was this very same article I last recall seeing.

Their wheels are old, from the 90's,
they are easily exploited. He told me
to either play or get the numbers off
the tote board by sitting over by the
slots. I did sit there for a few minutes
and he glared at me the whole time.
He had to be in his 70's, he thinks
the casinos money is his.

Ah, but this has !!SCIENCE!!. It's like the joke about how if you tell a bunch of med students if you zap somebody's hand, they'll jerk away and they'll laugh. Tell them that if an electrical stimulus is applied to an appendage of the subject and a muscular response will occur, they'll dutifully write it down.

Cold fusion, anyone?

One or two articles does a scientific conclusion not make.

Yes, it's outrageous, like counting cards, hole carding, edge sorting, and shuffle tracking.

I can see this reaction from a pit boss, as that's his job, to protect the house's money. But if it was the croupier, that would be stupid. Because they would be making bank on tips if you keep winning.
Don't worry about life. No one makes it out alive anyways.
