Many years ago when I travelled about a bit I managed to get to a casino on the odd occasion.
I would like to share this system that I learnt from an old friend of mine.
I met him in South Africa. I can honestly say that he was as mad as a hatter and used to sit at the roulette table for hours. He would smoke a pipe and the reek and smoke would be enough to have some people leave the table.
He was a professor at the local university and I had to enquire what he was doing writing down all the numbers and filling in a chart. He told me that he had played roulette for about 10 years and spent a lot of time studying the game. His theory was that numbers are linked and he could follow the patterns.
I am going to write down the numbers from the 0's through to the 6's and explain as I go along. He never played the 7,8 or 9 numbers.
A zero number (0,10,20,30) is most likely to go to a 3 number (3,13,23,33) It has a strength rating of 21.
I will now show where the 0's through to the 6's will go to with the strength rating from top to bottom.
0-3 s/r 21.
0-2 s/r 19.
0-1 or 5 s/r 18.
0-4 s/r 17.
0-6 s/r 15.
1-3 s/r 23.
1-2 s/r 21.
1-5 s/r 20.
1-4 s/r 19.
1-0 s/r 18.
1-6 s/r 17.
2-3 s/r 24
2-1 or 5 s/r 21.
2-4 s/r 20.
2-0 s/r 19.
2-6 s/r 18.
3-2 s/r 24.
3-1 or 5 s/r 23.
3-4 s/r 22.
3-0 s/r 21.
3-6 s/r 20.
4-3 s/r 22.
4-2 s/r 20.
4-1 or 5 s/r 19.
4-0 s/r 17.
4-6 s/r 16.
5-3 s/r 23.
5-2 s/r 21.
5-1 s/r 20.
5-4 s/r 19.
5-0 s/r 18.
5-6 s/r 17.
6-3 s/r 20.
6-2 s/r 18.
6-1 or 5 s/r 17.
6-4 s/r 16.
6-0 s/r 15.
He used to have a chart where he put the highest strength ratings at the top and worked his way down.
24. 2-3. 3-2.
23. 1-3. 3-1. 3-5. 5-3.
22. 3-4. 4-3.
21. 0-3. 1-2. 2-1. 2-5. 5-2. 3-0.
20. 1-5. 2-4. 3-6. 4-2. 5-1. 6-3.
19. 0-2. 1-4. 2-0. 4-1. 4-5. 5-4.
18. 0-1. 0-5. 1-0. 2-6. 5-0. 6-2.
17. 0-4. 1-6. 4-0. 5-6. 6-1. 6-5.
16. 4-6. 6-4.
15. 0-6. 6-0.
I took these numbers of the live german website where you can get actuals.
36,1,35,33,22,5,33,12. They were the first 8 numbers at the top of the page.
The first is 36 to 1. So that is a 6 to a 1. In the chart above put a 1 underneath the 6-1.
And put a cross underneath the 6-2. 6-3. 6-4 and 6-5.
The second is 1 to 35. A 1 to a 5. Put a 1 underneath the 1-5.
And put a cross underneath the 1-2. 1-3. 1-4 and 1-6.
The third is 35 to 33. That's a 5 to a 3. In the chart put a 1 underneath the 5-3.
And put a cross underneath the 5-1. 5-2. 5-4 and 5-6.
The fourth is 33 to 22. A 3 to a 2. Put a 1 underneath 3-2.
And put a cross underneath 3-1. 3-4. 3-5 and 3-6.
The fifth is 22 to 5. A 2 to a 5. put a 1 underneath the 2-5.
And put a cross underneath 2-1. 2-3. 2-4 and 2-6.
Now here is the first bet because we have had a 5 twice (35 and 5) and we can refer to our chart.
Looking at the strength ratings, the highest 5 is in s/r 23 and the good news is that it has a 1 underneath 5-3.
That is positive and so we back all the 3's. 3,13,23 and 33.
The sixth is 5 to 33. That is a winner for us. Put another 1 underneath the 5-3.
And put a cross underneath 5-1. 5-2. 5-4 and 5-6.
We can have another bet on the very next spin because the last number was a 3 (33) and we have now had
a 3 twice (33 and 33) So referring to our chart and looking at the strength rating the last 3 went to a 2 and
that was a strength rating of 24. The top of the shop. So that is positive.
So we bet 2,12,22 and 32. All the 2's.
The seventh is 33 to 12. That is great and another winner.
So if you have a recent positive mark with a high strength rating it indicates to get on.
There are times when this method goes crazy and you win big for a very small outlay.
Like anything it really needs patience and discipline to wait for the best opportunities using the marking system looking for positives including the use of the strength ratings. I have never told anyone about this method before and it maybe sounds daft but give it a try.
I only have access to double zeroe wheels, do I bother trying to figure this out or is it only applicable to single zeroe wheels?
Hi johhnyg
A very interesting bet selection technique.
I will certainly give it a try as soon as I can and I will post my results on here.
Again,thank you
TSK
Simon, you can be safe in knowing that I have played this on many 0/00 wheels over the years and it works fine on both.
Good luck spider and I am looking forward to hearing how you get on with it!
Johhnyg thank you for this system...it seems very unusual!!
I will try to test it a bit...
My Best Regards
Johhnyg
When you begin betting and you don't hit for about six spins or so---do you continue to places 1s and Xs under the numbers which come during betting?
By the way, what are the Xs for?
Sam
Thanks Mogwai. A few things I should clear up about the bet.
When I explained the system I mentioned,
"Now here is the first bet because we have had a 5 twice (35 and 5) and we can refer to our chart.
Looking at the strength ratings, the highest 5 is in s/r 23 and the good news is that it has a 1 underneath 5-3.
That is positive and so we back all the 3's. 3,13,23 and 33"
It would not have been a bet if there was not a current 1 underneath the 5-3.
If you had been playing for a while and underneath the 5-3 was 1xx1xxxx then that would have been no bet because there are 6 x's to 2 1's and the last 4 results were all x's. You are looking for the last one been positive or if it reads underneath the 5-3 11x11x then you have had double the 1's compared to the x's and that would be o. k. for a bet because the second last figure underneath the 5-3 was a 1. You are looking for strong positive indicators and the higher up the s/r you get positive readings the more confident you be according to professor Bruce, the inventor of this system.
As the example above Two cat sam.
"I took these numbers of the live german website where you can get actuals.
36,1,35,33,22,5,33,12. They were the first 8 numbers at the top of the page.
The first is 36 to 1. So that is a 6 to a 1. In the chart above put a 1 underneath the 6-1.
And put a cross underneath the 6-2. 6-3. 6-4 and 6-5"
The 1 or a tick represents a hit and you are putting this underneath the 6-1 because the number 36 went to number 1 so that is a 6 to a 1. Now you are putting a x in the 6-2. 6-3. 6-4 and 6-5 because they were not hit. After each spin excluding when 7,8, or 9's appear you are having to do 6 markings. One 1 or tick and 5 x's.
And remember you are not betting every spin, only when they are positive indicators.
I spent many evenings discussing roulette with the professor and he had some interesting things to say about the game. He thought the reason most people lost money was because they had little patience and rushed into a casino hoping to make a quick killing. He thought the way to profit was by staging a game built around discipline and waiting to see what the wheel was doing. At the end of the night and after about 400 spins of action there is normally a bit of a difference between the plein numbers compared to the even chances which balance out fairly close on a lot of occasions. In a short burst of 50 spins this is not really recognisable but over the long term in a days play the deviation of numbers appearing and not appearing start to form shape.
As an example from a table yesterday the highest number appeared 18 times well the lowest number appeared 6 times. This is a big spread compared to the even chances and dozens which were fairly close in proximity to each other.
Johnny
Is there ever a time when you are betting two groups of numbers at the same time?
What does the s/r level do in relation to your bet? Do you decide sometimes not to bet if the s/r is low?
Sam
If you want to learn about randomness then study trying to guess the three hottest numbers over 300 spins. That represents about ten hours live play in a real casino. You can study simulations and write your own programs to demonstrate random flow. When you have that as a foundation then you can see when that nature or characteristic applies to short term changes and the dozens or the ECs. It's a knowledge learned. You can't explain it without it being meaningless to the person hearing the explanation. It's far better to know it by experience.
To answer your question sam.
If number 11 went to number 13 that would be a 1 to a 3.
So you put a tick under the 1 to 3 and an x under the 1-0. 1-2. 1-4. 1-5 and 1-6.
The 1-3 that you put the tick under has the highest strength rating of these 6 sets.
In order they are.
1-3. s/r 23
1-2. s/r 21
1-5. s/r 20
1-4. s/r 19
1-0. s/r 18
1-6. s/r 17
So if there is 1 that comes out again (either 1,11,21 or 31) when you look at your chart you will see that there is a tick under the 1-3 which allows you to bet the 3,13,23 or 33.
Let's say for example the 1-2 which has a strength rating 21 was displaying 1x111x. There the ticks outperform the x's by 100% and the last three ticks were recent so you could back the 2,12,22 and 32 taking your total bet to 8 chips.
I would personally never bet more than two sets and the lower down the strength ratings you go the more you would want a better percentage of ticks against x's.
Johhnyg
Thank your for your explanations. Though I could never prove it, I am one of those who believe numbers run in packs. I believe certain numbers inspire other numbers to hit, so your system is of great interest to me
I will test as time permits and report back.
Sam
johhnyg,
A strange system, but interesting and original, excellent.
I hope the testing goes well.
Regards
Mr Chips
hehehehehehe, good on ya crazy South African geezer.........we are all mad as hatters mate......except for Ronjo. He is just brilliant. Where is Ronjo btw?
ehhh....Johnnyg, what was the chap's name? Eugene Terblanche? Did he ride a horse? Sorry Eugene was not a professor lol!
Seriously though, which casino did you meet this chap mate? Sun City maybe?
Cheers mate and thx for the system.
Cheers

This seems to be a very effective methodology based on testing of my real spins. just for fun I checked a lazy man's way to do this, what I would call "following the cousins," which requires no input or marking. all I did was keep looking back what the last cousin link was (example from real spins: 18-1-30-27-21 (now I would bet all the 0's) and next 30 hits again for a win (ofcourse you don't always get a hit that quick.) and so even if the next betting opportunity is from a link many spins previous, whatever the last cousin to cousin relationship was I bet it to follow again. There are many -4's but a couple of +32's makes up for them and then some. A hit on 4 numbers is a beautiful thing! Testing playing this way on over 300 of my real spins resulted in a startling 300+ units. I suppose though this was an anomaly and it was just the way the stars lined up over the wheels I was recording that day. But I would be curious to know if anyone else wants to try this method if they also see positive results. By the way as with the "strange system" or whatever you want to call it, in my lazy man's way to play it I disregarded all numbers greater than 6 in second digit, and disregarded bets that would call for a number greater than 6 in second digit. I don't want to distract from the original work and will in fact be making a template I can follow better for implementing it (complete with different colored numbers so you can find them quicker when entering the 1's and x's) but you might want to try just "following the cousins" as I call it and see how it goes. I certainly like a system that only involves flat bets, limited losses and good profits on a hit. I see people cover the board with a ton of chips all the time, sometimes they may not even make a net gain if they hit they are so frenzied and disorganized covering so many numbers, and ofcourse they lose alot when they don't hit. Like I said, a straight up hit with just 4 chips out there is a beautiful thing, and this seems to happen well enough for whatever reasons, betting these trends on "the cousins."
There are no bets/sr's called for for 1-1, 2-2, etc. (why?) I was curious to see if I could determine any significance to the s/r's so I did the following: I put all the s/r sets in a spread sheet column so they are vertical one under the other, with a row in between the groups so they are separated by group and numbered 1 through 10 by group, so the 2-3 and 3-2 sets are at the top with the highest rating of 1, and the 0-6 and 6-0 sets are at the bottom with the lowest rating of 10. This is how I would set up my template for play anyway, so that I could have several columns after each set to fill in the 1's and x's called for after each set hits or does not hit. I went through my first set of 75 continuous real spins from real double zero wheels and linked every single number one after the other, disregarding any number that ends higher than 6, and made checks in the columns after every set that came in. I thought that I would just see if I might end up with more checks in the top 5 groups then the bottom 5 groups (or not), but then I realized the numbers are not evenly divided within the top half s/r's and bottom half s/r's so this would not really work and give the quick picture I was looking for (for example, the sets that start 6, there is only one in the top half s/r's and five in the bottom half s/r's.) There are six of each set, and the only sets that are evenly divided between the top half and bottom half s/r's (3 in each) are the sets that start 1 and the sets that start 5. So, looking at my 75 continuous spins, there were nine occurences of numbers that were 1 or ended in 1, six of which ended up in the top half, and 3 of which ended up in the bottom half-- the 1-2 (s/r 4) hit 3 times, the 1-5 (s/r 5) hit 3 times, the 1-4 (s/r 6) hit 1 time, the 1-0 (s/r 7) hit 1 time, and the 1-6 (s/r eight) hit 1 time. But, there were seven occurences of numbers that were 5 or ended in 5, only two of which ended up in the top half s/r, and five ended up in the bottom half-- the 5-2 (s/r 4) hit 2 times, the 5-4 (s/r 6) hit 2 times, and the 5-0 (s/r 7) hit 3 times. I will test the rest of my spins and see if these s/r's show any significance.
The question when playing this system will be, what has more weight-- the s/r's, or the most recent hits? For example, I am wondering, johnnyg, if I have had one hit with a group in a higher weighted s/r (say the 1-3), and 2 or 3 hits in a lower weighted s/r (say the 1-5) , which am I going to bet for, the 1-3 or the 1-5?
Hi Johhnyg,
In the zero group you have
0-3
0-2
0-1
0-4
0-6
should we have 0-5 in that group as well or is there something I have missed,
Regards,
Davemd.
Simon this is not my system and there are probably many questions that I can not really answer or I would be making them up as I go along. You are right to play about with it and see what you come up with. The man who invented it told me that when the numbers with the higher strength rating start hitting, they hit with more frequency than with the ones lower down. This is not always so however because last week when I was playing this the very bottom one with a strength rating of 15 (the 6-0) was hitting like crazy.
Dave, if you go back to top of page 1 you will see that there is a 0 to 1 or 5. This means both have the same strength rating of 18. There are 5 in total where 2 numbers in a set have an equal strength rating.
Thanks Johhnyg,
yes see what you mean,
I didnt look at it properly,
many thank's,
Davemd.
Davemd if you look at the chart you will see the 0-5 in the s/r 18 row.
Disregarding same to same hits (0-0, 1-1, etc.) there are 42 possible sets (6 of each starting number x 7 groups) and they are all in the chart. There are 7 more possible sets if we counted same to same hits. Example, the numbers 3-23-0-10-11-31 come in, that would be 3 sets (or "cousins" as they are sometimes referred to), that hit same to same, which are not in the chart and could cause a loss as we would not be betting on these sets to occur. I might go through all 450 real spins I recorded (75 continuous spins at 6 different wheels) and make checks after all 47 possible sets to see which hit the most and their frequencies, etc, and see if the 2-3's, 1-3's, and 5-3's show any more popularity and frequency than the other groups.
Or, like exercising, I may just sit down and wait for that urge to pass...
well I did tally all possible sets from a pre-recorded 75 spin session which doesn't take long, just to have a look, in case anyone is interested here's what the results looks like. The first column below is the first number of the set and the second column is the second number of the set and the x's are the occurences, so in the first group 0-0 had no hits, 0-1 had one hit, 0-2 had one hit, 0-3 had no hits, 0-4 had one hit, and 0-5 and 0-6 had no hits. ETC. What can you say about the results below? Not a whole lot. By popularity of occurences we have the 1's and 6's (9 each), the 2's (eight each), the 4's and 5's (7 each), the 3's (4), and the 0's (3). Meaning, numbers that were 1 or ended 1, or 6 or ended 6, came in the most in the 75 spin session, at which point a decision would be made as to whether to bet or not on the next spin. Since there are ten groups/ten s/r's, instead of identifying them as s/r 24 (best) to 15 (worst) as the author does, I identify the groups with the ratings of 1 (best) to 10 (worst)-- the theoretical strength rating according to the system. Thus the most hits were the 2-6 (s/r 7) which had 4 hits, and the 1-2 (s/r 4), and the 1-5 (s/r 5) which had 3 hits each. Make of it what you will.....
All I can say is I wish I had brought tons of cash and bet nothing but black chips on the 450 spins I recorded from 7 wheels and had played "followed the cousins" on them as I described previously... yeah I would have lost -$400 every losing bet, but I would have left with +30K by the end of the night. I guess that would have drawn a few on-lookers. ah well, I can dream... Later.....

debunking the strength ratings (sr's)...
here is further analysis of cousin trends and sr's with actuals... for simplicity sr's have been converted from author's numbers to 1 for best and 10 for worst in accordance with his ratings...
another 75 continuous spin session w3 (wheel 3) presented the following results...
seven hits of the 0 sets which went to 0 cousins three times (0-0 sr not designated), went to 5's three times (0-5 sr= 7) and went to 4's one time (0-4 sr= eight). highest sr for a 0 link is 0-3 sr= 4, which did not hit.
3 hits of 1's, all of which went to the 4's (1-4 sr= 6). highest sr for a 1 is 1-3 sr= 2, which did not hit.
7 hits of 2's, which went twice to 0's (2-0 sr= 7), twice to 3's (2-3 sr= 1), once to 5's (2-5 sr= 4), and twice to 6's (2-6 sr= 7). highest sr for 2's is 2-3 sr= 1, which hit once.
8 hits of 3's which went to 0 three times (3-0 sr= 4), went to 2's once (3-2 sr= 1), went to 4's three times (3-4 sr= 3), and went to 6's once (3-6 sr= 5). highest sr for 3 is 3-2 sr= 1, which hit once.
12 hits of 4's which went to 1's once (4-1 sr= 6), went to 2's once (4-2 sr= 5), went to 3's once (4-3 sr= 3), and went to 4's five times (4-4 sr not designated), went to 5's three times (4-5 sr= 6), and went to 6's one time (4-6 sr= 9). highest sr for 4's is 4-3 sr= 3 which hit once.
7 hits of 5's which went to 0's once (5-0 sr= 7), went to 2's twice (5-2 sr= 4), went to 3's three times (5-3 sr= 2), and went to 4's once (5-4 sr= 6). highest sr for 5's is 5-3 sr= 2 which hit 3 times.
and finally 4 hits of 6's which went to the 0's once (6-0 sr= 10), went to the 1's once (6-1 sr= eight), and went to the 4's once (6-4 sr= 9). highest sr for 6's is 6-3 sr= 5 which did not hit.
observations: in this 75 spin session no significance could be seen with the supposed strength ratings (other than 5-3 hitting slightly more than the others in the 5's group, consistent with 5-3 having the highest sr of the 5's group.)
but the most cousins hits of all in this cycle of spins (which represents a good, normal, at least an hour+ session at the table) was 4 to 4 which does not even have a designated sr and would cause losses because we would be betting against a 4-4.
conclusion (for now anyway): forget the sr's and just go with how the cousins are trending.
I still like this system because of the frequent straight up hits with so few chips out and without progressing the bets. it could be a grand illusion which happened to work on my test spins and may not work next time at the casino, but I believe I will give it a go next time I'm there...
Simon, you have a put a lot of hard work into studying this and I hope your reward is a successful trip when you next visit the casino if you decide to give it a go. I like the changes you have made and with patience I think it will work great. That is the real skill to this. Of course the low outlay for a good payout is excellent when the hits come your way but you have to allow them to come to you and not force them. This is not for anybody who likes to be in and out of the casino in an hour or two.
ok johhnyg thanks for the system and thanks for the advice.
