Interesting question for the AP crew

"In the legal casinos you will nowadays never find a biased wheel. Don`t waste your time for looking " >>> I agree 100%. If it was Bill's Basement Casino in Trenton, NJ, I'm sure you would find one.

Just to clarify something: biased wheels are in fact quite common. But how biased do you mean? To find a bias to the degree it was 20 or even 10 years ago is very rare. No you cant do much with just 5 spins. The best you can do is with a computer, take the initial sample, enter which diamonds are being hit and let the computer automatically calibrate and rely on a few spins for determining offset. From that alone, if the wheel is decent, you'll get an edge but it is nowhere near full calibration. But to do it with bias, 5 spins wont tell you much.

There are a lot of legitimate methods that beat roulette, but there is no single "best" method. It depends on the wheel and conditions.

5 spins is more than enough to locate an anormaly like a rotor wobble.  How it affect the numbers is another case, but if you know where it runs high and where it runs low, you also know where the ball runs "uphill" or downhill.  Exactly how the numbers perform in this sector, only number tracking can show, but normally you would have an expectation around some numbers. Either as donators or receivers.
You just know up front where the anormally is located. If nothing abnormal is happening in that sector, number wise,  the wobble doesn`t affect the ball, maybe because only a minimum of scatter on the rotor/number ring or something else. A rotor wobble is relatively easy to spot if you know where to look. Personally I had been staring in wheel for 6 years before I learned it, because no one had told me how, why  and where to look.  

This bias type can be an optimization option in VB tracking and improve an edge. Fret checking also only takes 15 - 30 minutes. Pocket bias you check out as the number tracking proceeds. All info can gain an edge to normal VB.

Yes you can check for something like rotor wobble in one spin.

You would have heard of custom variants - what I call methods that incorporate different pattern types. If you mix vb and bias, for full effectiveness, it is not as straightforward as something like excluding numbers with negative expectation if the vb prediction is in that sector. I teach this at the start, but the reality is the relationship is much more dynamic. Then when you introduce other types of patterns or variables, things get even more dynamic and to the point where you can either:

1. simplify an approach as much as possible so it is practical, or
2. use software to automate it as much as possible

My players use #1 but I'm having software made that will relay data back to a server for analysis, via mobile phone / gsm networks. That software will do bias analysis for free.

Anyway not to go on about that too much, main point is relationship when using multiple methods is more dynamic.
