How to win at roulettte

Bring some kit to the casino. Specifically a laser scanner inside a mobile phone linked to a computer. The scanner measures the speed of the roulette ball as the croupier releases it, identifies where it falls and measures the declining orbit of the wheel. The data is beamed to the microcomputer, which runs through thousands of possible outcomes to forecast which section numbers the ball will land on. These data are flashed on to the screen of the phone just before the wheel makes its third spin, by which time all bets must be placed. Having thus reduced the odds of winning from 37-1 to 6-1, you then place bets on all six numbers in the section where the ball is predicted to end up. Then pocket your winnings. And it’s all perfectly legal. See the Times story of the trio who won £1.3 million in the Ritz casino on London using the above method.
