This report that dates back to 1991 really struck a serious chord with me. This was the account of how two mysterious Germans went into a casino with nothing more than a wrist watch and won very significant sums of money. That casino was the Valkenburg casino in Holland where they initially won over $50,000.

Back in their native Germany, they encountered serious losses but the arm of the European Gaming police is a very long one. The pattern was quickly becoming very evident, they would initially start off winning large sums of money and would then lose most or in some cases all of it back.

It seems clear to me that the pair of them seriously outstayed their welcome. They committed three glaring errors that led to their losses. Firstly they were far too blatant, secondly they won too much money in the same casino and thirdly, they stayed too long and were victims of the casino counter measures. They quickly became very well known in Germany, Holland and Austria but this was essentially their own fault and no one else’s.

Later casino reports indicted that the implement that these two Germans had been using was not in fact a wrist watch but some kind of calculator attached to the wrist to which they inputted information. This approach intrigued me for a long time and I set out on a quest to reveal the truth about just what these two men from Freiburg had been up to.

I had always thought that beating casino roulette or attempting to beat roulette by the methods of Edward Thorp, Thomas Bass and James Farmer was beyond me. Their expertise lie in astrophysics and mathematics, two subjects in which I had no serious amount of knowledge. Did this mean that beating roulette by ball drop off prediction was impossible for people like me?

At first I ran up against many obstacles caused by my own ignorance and naivety. In 1998, around about the time that I formed my first blackjack team I made a significant breakthrough with my studies that led to me looking at the problem in an entirely different way. I knew that even the Huxley wheels were vulnerable but discovering just how to beat them was something else.

I discovered that armed with certain mathematical data and nothing more than a cheap watch that had a stop watch function, a significant edge could be achieved on roulette. How much of an edge you may ask and I will have to skip the question because the answer would be wrong anyway. Like I said mathematics is not my field but then it does not have to be in order to beat roulette.

The two German guys suffered from what many blackjack card counters suffer from, they knew the technical stuff but under estimated the people that they were gong up against. Knowing how to beat the casinos at whatever game is only half the battle. The real test is getting away with it for substantial amounts of money.

When I was active with my first blackjack team, it got to a stage where so many people knew what the set up was that we were actually very lucky to last as long as we did. This was why I figured that the best way to earn money out of this was to train people up so that they could do it themselves. At least that way you are not dependent on your entire income being in the balance and hoping that certain people can keep their mouths shut.

The German duo suffered counter measure after counter measure of dealers spinning the ball super fast and dealers also not accepting any bets after the ball had spun. A tactic that any casino does not really want to introduce as it slows down the number of spins per hour. But had they been more clandestine then it is perfectly possible that these two would have won a very considerable sum of money. But they proved one very important thing and every casino should take note, that you do not need to be a scientist or qualified in advanced mathematics in order to beat roulette.
