has anyone ever heard of these so called roulette computers.
i saw a story in the newspaper a couple of years ago were some students were caught using one. it seems fairly genuine as they offer it for nothing as part of a profit share deal.

Some Eastern European gang were caught doing something similar a few years back. I think they eventually faced no charges and were allowed to keep all the money the had made.

I don't know if this particular one works but casinos certainly will not let you use any mobile phones or portable devices anywhere the near the gaming tables. You would still need an earpiece to receive the info and constantly placing bets after the ball has been released looks suspicious.

The house edge on roulette is so thin it doesn't take much to give you a positive edge but you can be sure that casinos are aware of this sort of thing and are looking out for it.

What a con.

Free profit share.

The odds of winning are still the same as they always were, just you're obliged to send them half your profits if you win.

I wonder what percentage of your losses they subsidise :roll: .

Yes I suppose it is probably a re-working of the old racing tips scam but less likely to be sucessful I would have thought.

You would need to provide them with convincing looking boxes that give out random numbers after pressing the appropriate buttons.

They would probably get thrown out before they won/lost much.
