Cheating Systems & Gambling

Gambling systems make millions of dollars every year for their owners. People have created a series of gambling systems such as black jack, poker, roulette, baccarat, craps or slot machines. You can increase your odds in a casino game but casino sees this as cheating. The people who get the odds in their favor (i.e. card counters) are usually caught and thrown out. It is impossible to beat a slot machine. You can win on a slot machine in the short run, but making money in the long run is impossible. People who dream that they are going to make easy money as professional gamblers by cheating are wrong. Why would anyone want to spend his life in a stinky casino? More and more casinos are being built in Las Vegas every year. Over 20,000 hotel rooms and seven multi-million dollar hotels were added in 1999.

Cheating on Roulette:

Roulette is a game of chance ruled by the theory of probability, theory of games, and gambling mathematics. Mathematics of roulette is analyzed here. The cornerstone of roulette is the Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG). It is a mathematical fact that every roulette number has a repeat cycle based on Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG). In at least 50% of the wins, a roulette number repeats after approximately 25-26 spins. The probability median calculated by Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG) is 25.  By using this theory, you can either generate thousands of random spins, or analyze thousands of real casino spins (single zero or double zero). This however is considered as cheating by casino executives. Why would casinos care about roulettes or gambling systems if the systems don't win?

Cheat-Busting by Casinos:

Cheat-busting is a vital part of casino-life and it importantly relies upon the greater edge provided by technology. It's not that the casinos don't want to lose because only that keeps the people coming back. It's just that they don't like to lose to cheats because then the finely honed maths of the house edge begins to fall apart.

Any Las Vegas casino has thousands of black glass domes, mounted on the ceiling with thousands of cameras watching every table, every machine and every player. There are also the pit bosses and the floor security all walking the floor observing every player for signs of something wrong. But behind the scenes there are also some of the world's most powerful digital surveillance, intelligence and data analysis technologies that work hard to make sure that house has an edge over the tiny minority of cheats.
