Book Description

November 25, 2008

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.

 

Roulette has numerous weaknesses and these have been mercilessly exposed and then exploited – not only by people on the inside but by everyday punters.

 

Much of the material in Killer Roulette 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Read!, January 10, 2009
By 
This review is from: Killer Roulette (Paperback)
"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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Croupiers Can Indeed Control Which Roulette Numbers Hit, September 13, 2009
This review is from: Killer Roulette (Paperback)
Important 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, January 14, 2011
This review is from: Killer Roulette (Paperback)
This book is fiction. The characters and most of the stories should be treated as such. The stories are terrific, and that is about all you can get from the book.

The author claims to be an expert in the field and claims to have trained and advised players, "who went on to earn six-figure sums", but that is questionable. This book fails to deliver what it promises. The author makes claims that he knows certain things about visual wheel tracking but only scratches the surface on the topic. The book falls short on the strategy and mechanics of roulette. The author even mentions that you can contact him for further detail about visual wheel tracking but he fails to delivery on that as well. If you do not believe me, contact him and ask him to train you on visual tracking and how to beat roulette and see what happens.

This book should not be entitled Killer Roulette, instead, it should be called Fantasy Roulette.
