5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is for Intelligent Players, February 3, 2000

By	John Macy (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

Frank Scoblete writes for the intelligent roulette player who is not looking for a magic bullet but understands that casino games have built in house edges that rarely can be overcome. None can be overcome with silly money-management systems, although money management is important in order to protect you from going on tilt. Scoblete explores two different approaches to the game of roulette in this masterpiece. The first concerns an analysis of the traditional systems used at the gme. He shows quite clearly why these systems don't work. He then goes on to brilliantly explore other methods of play. Not all of them require 30 or 40 hours of wheel watching to be effective as one reviewer mistakenly submitted. In fact, some take only a few minutes. All are brillint techniques to attempt to turn the tables on the casinos. Scoblete is a master when it comes to realistic strategies and solid writing. Get this book if you have the least interest in roulette!

5.0 out of 5 stars If It's Random You Can't Win, But If It Isn't You Can, March 3, 2002

By A Customer

The reviewer from Malaysia didn't understand a fundamental princple of roulette. If the wheel is random there are NO WINNING SYSTEMS. Scoblete explains that in the book and takes a look at all the most popular betting systems that have been developed to beat the game. None work in the long run on random wheels as he shows clearly. However, this book does have winning strategies in it; and it does show how to maximize comps as well. You just have to realize that no reputable author is going to sell pie-in-the-sky winning systems for a random wheel. But Scoblete does the next best thing. He shows you techniques for discovering biases, dealer signatures, big numbers, sector shooters and the like. This is a really well written book and it has thousands of actual-roulette spins recorded so you can play your system without actually risking money. This is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Intelligent Analysis of the Game, December 10, 1999

By	Martin Dennis (New York) - See all my reviews

"Spin Roulette Gold" is wonderfully complete and accurate analysis of all aspects of roulette. It shows you why many of the most famous systems for playing the game such as the Martingales are such losers in the long run. However, the book goesinto methods whioch have proven effective in beating roulette such as biased whell play and signature sighting. This is really worthwhile stuff and you won't find it in many or any other book about the subject.
