The book covers the game from all aspects and is easy to follow. It covers the game basics, and basic betting systems, and from there goes into some spin offs and playabe variations of those betting systems. It also covers other topics like biased wheels, numerical concepts that are important to playing the game, and technichal information about wheel construction and cheating (It does not teach you how to cheat). I consider the book an excellent referance for all Roulette players, and and a great addition to any library.

Any book holding the word "win" in its title is a waste, especially for roulette. It simply ignores the mathematics underlying this game. Besides, the approach has nothing scientific. In fact, the title has nothing to do with the content, which mostly presents the basics of the game (history, rules, etc.). For understanding how roulette really works and what chances the so-called "winning systems" have, get a book on roulette mathematics (I recommend Barboianu's book). As for increasing your chances to win, it is better to bet more rather than buy this kind of "how-to-win" books.

I give the book 4 stars because even though it was good reading it did'nt exactly reveal any real exciting secrets.Overall it could be used by the novice gambler to learn roulette and the best & safest ways to bet. It also gives some history on the roulette wheel and the different types used in the U.S. & abroad.

What the book's author has overlooked is that every wager on a roulette wheel has negative expectation. And no amount of negative expectations can be formulated to produce a positive result - period.
