Marven,

Thank you for the reply and the links.  I wonder if you have read any of the above listed books I mentioned specifically?  Do you have any specific opinion about the material you actually read?  Thanks again.

Hi Innovcon,

I haven't particularly read these (though they sound familiar) but I have a ton of similar books (acquired illegally of course, I wouldn't spend a dime on that junk) and I know how useless they are. Anything that has "ultimate system", "online roulette", etc. in its title is useless.

And these books are over $200 each, which is ridiculous for what they are. System sellers are now publishing roulette systems in the form of hard-cover books instead of electronic versions simply because it's "fancier" and more credible that way, plus it's harder to distribute for free.

Make no mistake, these aren't real "books", these are roulette systems for sale.

Marven,

I do understand what you are saying.  While I may agree with your opinion in general about the contents of these types of books I was more interested in a review from anyone who may have read the material.  Maybe not on the effectiveness (or lack of) but ease of use, or even bankroll fluctuation control, or any other particulars of the method. 

Truth is I play roulette for more reasons than just the hope of profit.  These books may be worth the time and money for other reasons than just the effectiveness of the methods contained.  Or maybe not.
