    CHAPTER ONE

    HISTORY OF ROULETTE

    Roulette is the oldest of all the casino games being played today, and the modern roulette wheel has been the cynosure of casino gambling for more than 200 years.

    In many European casinos, roulette accounts for more than half the legal gaming revenue. In the United States, roulette accounts for less than five percent of the total gaming revenues.

After recording over 50,000 spins in live casinos, I’ve discovered that the key to roulette is the precursor to a number. I have discovered that certain numbers follow certain numbers. I will insert a caveat here; certain numbers follow certain numbers at a much better ratio than the 37 to 1 ratio probability would indicate, if one is playing with a good spinner.
