1. Introduction
Roulette is a straightforward game that can be learned without
too much difficulty. Playing it in its basic form is quite simple -
you are betting that a number(s) or a combination of numbers
will come up on the next spin of the wheel. Because some
wagers are more difficult to win than others, the various wagers
have different payoffs.
One of roulette's biggest attractions is its high payoff for winning
a bet on a single number - 35 to 1. If you wager 17 and it shows
on the next spin, your wager will be paid off at 35 to 1 odds.
With a dollar bet, you win $35, and with $100 wagered, you win
$3,500.
Although these high odds are attractive, we will find that there
are even more attractive wagers to be made at roulette. Rather
than trying for a single win on a long-shot wager, I have found
that there are some "bread and butter" types of wagers at roulette
that will pay you time after time, session after session.
Roulette is played at a much more leisurely pace than other
casino games, especially craps. I enjoy playing craps and

blackjack as well as roulette, but when it comes time to relax, as
well as build up steady winnings, roulette is my game.
Often roulette players make wagers based on their favorite
numbers, such as anniversaries and birth dates. You'll soon see
why these kinds of bets are not advisable.
My approach to roulette entails using a "hit and run" strategy that
piles up consistent wins. I am convinced that my "Maximum
Advantage Roulette" strategy can overcome the house odds of
either American (double-zero) roulette wheels or European
wheels (single-zero) which offer better odds.
And, I have lots of data to back up my statement that roulette can
be beaten.
If you are looking for a way to beat the game, there are many
books written about roulette. These books generally fall into two
broad categories. Most of the books you will find in bookstores
are in category one in which the mechanics of the game are
described with a simplistic betting strategy or two and many
stories about the author's adventures playing the game are
recounted. These books are very useful if you want to learn how
to play the game, learn about roulette etiquette or just be
entertained.
However, you are not likely to learn how to beat the game from
these books. The systems used by the authors tend to be very
similar and are typically the same old shopworn systems used by
roulette players for decades.

The second category of books is usually offered at higher prices
on a limited basis, as through direct mail. These books or
pamphlets usually offer one system that is guaranteed to beat the
game. If you ever try to return one of these "sure-fire" winners
you will usually find that the system seller can't be found.
Because roulette is a game of chance, where all wagers offer some
mathematical advantage to the house, mathematicians say the
game can't be beaten.
Yet, I know the game can be beaten. This book will offer you a
new, exciting and proven approach to beating the roulette game,
that has been proven time after time in real casino sessions.
The paucity of reliable published information on effective betting
strategies for roulette probably is the result of the blind acceptance
of most gambling experts that in the long run no system can ever
overcome a game where the casino has an advantage. The crux of
this issue is how we define "long term." Any system will fail at
some point if it is followed blindly to the bitter end regardless of
the cost. However, if we break the "long run" into a series of many
short runs, over which we have substantial control, then I believe
the premise is false.
In a contest between the casino and a player using a really good
system, I am convinced that the player can gain a definite edge,
especially if the house edge is less than 5 percent.

Characteristic of all would be reputable books on casino gambling
are discussions of the so-called gambler's ruin. These discussions
are used as a basis for the assertion that in the long run it is
impossible to overcome a negative expectancy, meaning a game
where the odds favor the house.
A puzzling aspect of all of the analyses I have seen is that any
system player is assumed to continue to blindly pursue his system
until he loses all of his bankroll. It is on this premise that most
systems are generally dismissed as being useless.
However, the proof that any system is bound to fail is usually
based on a computerized betting simulation of possible outcomes.
These simulations are unrealistic in that they can't test what
skillful handing of a gaming contest will entail
Individuals have a number of options that simulations do not
consider. A player may quit at the "right time." He may adjust or
change his bet selection methods to respond to changing
conditions in the game he is playing. He may raise or lower his
bets as circumstances indicate. He has the option of pulling off
losing tables, with only modest losses. Conversely, he may go for
blood during winning sessions. He may lock up profits and limit
losses.
The Maximum Advantage Roulette Strategy combines many of
these "player strengths" to reduce the house edge to close to zero.
Then, using specific betting strategies, the player can actually gain
an advantage over the house. The result is that the player can win
far higher amounts much more consistently than conventional
analysis of roulette would predict.

After you learn how to use correct strategy to play the game, you
will learn to apply a set of betting rules. These rules may seem a
little complicated when you first read them, but they are easy to
use and highly effective.
Once you have absorbed how to play and what to do under
different circumstances, and practiced your skills to make sure that
you can play under casino conditions, you will be ready to take on
the casinos.
Once you learn how to play and beat the game, there will be no
holding you back. You will know how to make wagers that offer
a minimum edge or "vig" to the casinos and how to set specific
win targets, prevent losses and walk away from nearly all roulette
sessions a net winner.
You can literally use the Maximum Advantage Roulette Strategy
to get rich playing roulette. If you want to make $1,000 a day
gambling, this is the strategy for you.
Once you start winning at roulette, it is like coining your own
money. The casino chips will pile up in front of you, and you will
find that the casino personnel will even offer many comps to you.
"Comps" are casino jargon for complmentaries, and if you follow
my advice and use the Maximum Advantage Roulette Strategy
correctly, you will not only beat the casinos, but you will have the
casino bosses fawning on you offering you free meals, free rooms,
show tickets and even offering to pay your airfare.

If you want to learn to play roulette professionally, you have come
to the right place. Once you learn to apply this powerful strategy,
you will have a way to consistently beat the casinos. Best of all,
there is nothing they can do to stop you!
Skillful blackjack players always run the risk of being barred from
playing. In Nevada, card counters have been treated like card
cheats or criminals in the past simply because they were applying
their skill to beat a casino game.
With roulette play, you will never have to worry about being
barred because of your skillful play. When you start to pull down
huge wins, all the bosses can do is sweat and pay you off. If you
are a high roller, you can take the casino for thousands of dollars
in just a few minutes using the Maximum Advantage Roulette
Strategy and there's nothing the house can do about it. If you are a
low roller, I will show you how you can use your casino winnings
to vault into the high roller category in a short time period.

This book will show you exactly how to become and stay a
consistent winner at roulette. The process of becoming a winning
roulette player was aptly described in a jewel of a book I
discovered on one of my trips to Las Vegas. The Sealed Book of
Roulette was published by "Billiken" in London in 1924. While
some of his systems are too cumbersome to use at roulette as it is
played now, his approach to beating the game has merit -
There is a popular saying that figures can be made to
'"prove anything." Critics usually say that mathematicians
have proved over and over again that it is impossible to win
at Roulette. This sweeping assertion is incorrect. The
skilled mathematician invariably deals with theory, not
practice, but when he develops the -nth sense, and
differentiates between probability and possibility, he will
discover that the player can defeat the operation of zero
[the house edge] and secure a small but safe percentage of
profit. . . .
The steady player, like a good Bridge hand, controls
himself and invariably wins.
In writing this book, I realize that the readers will be a diverse
group. Some of you will never have played the game. Others will
have played the game but may not understand all of the wagers
and payoffs. Regardless of your level of play, this book will teach
you how to win.
