Laurence Scott Visual Ballistics | advantageplayer.com
Laurence Scott offers two main methods to beat roulette: visual ballistics and wheel bias analysis. Visual ballistics is where you visually determine where the ball is most likely to land. Bias analysis is exploiting physical flaws of wheels. Both techniques are indeed a valid method to beat roulette. In fact everything Laurence teaches is already part of my course. Laurence's package overall is about exploiting physical flaws of roulette wheels. His material is well presented and reasonably easy to follow, although the video footage used for practice is very poor. His techniques are indeed valid, although the problem is they are very old, and can only realistically be applied on older wheels with strong flaws. That is not to say such wheels don't exist today, they are just very hard to come by. Laurence is probably best known for his "crossover" visual ballistics method, while is extremely impractical and very difficult to master. For it to be both effective and practical, the wheel needs to be physically flawed, the ball needs to have very little bounce, and the wheel rotor must spin very quickly. In particularly because relies on a fast rotor, which inevitably causes more erratic ball bounce, I consider it quite poor. However, his latest material releases use an acoustic technique to replace the crossover method, which is more plausible - it relies on hearing the ball's sound to determine remaining drop time, and make predictions. However this acoustic method is only possible on very few wheels that exhibit particular properties, not to mention it is almost impossible to clearly hear the ball in the real casino environment. The "biased wheel report" component of Laurence's material is quite good, but again it relies entirely on physical flaws of roulette wheels. While in fact there's no such thing as a perfectly random wheel, and every wheel is biased to a degree, very rarely is a bias alone strong enough to enable long-term winnings. Perhaps 1 in 500 wheels in modern casinos may be biased enough. And even if a biased wheel is found and exploited, casinos quickly replace them, limiting profits. There is still the opportunity to bet big on a biased wheel before the casino replaces the wheel, but finding the wheel itself takes more time that it's worth. VERDICT: Laurence Scott's techniques do work, and they would have been great 15 years ago, but not in today's casino. His techniques rely on conditions and roulette wheel flaws that are far too hard to come by. To be successful with his techniques, you must be prepared to spend a lot of time and resources to find the right wheels. Because the required wheels are so rare, and exploited wheels are quickly replaced, these techniques are not realistically financially viable in today's casinos.

Suzannes Power Roulette | powerroulette.com
If you like to play online casinos, forget power roulette because it's designed for the real wheel. But if you like the real casino environment as I do, power roulette has something to offer. It is definitely not fraudulent. However to be successful with power roulette requires a lot of practice and is not for the beginner. Most players will find power roulette difficult to master and not many people have that kind of time to dedicate. Ultimately does power roulette work? Yes, it does (or rather it CAN) but there is a lot of guesswork involved. It was tested over a three day period in a real casino and I produced a small profit of $325. This result may seem insignificant but consider the house edge on the American wheel and you'll understand this is a pretty good result. Over longer tests with lists of real spins from Speilbank Harmburg, a clear loss was made. If you want power roulette to work for you, you will need Suzanne's close guidance, lots of practice, the right conditions which are unfortunately very hard to find. Probably it's greatest problem is it requires too much guesswork at the wheel so whether or not it truly works cannot be established. As power roulette is presented, when you lose you can lose big because progression betting is used (increasing bets to cover losses). If you play with flat bets you can still win, but it's the rare conditions that you need that makes winning difficult. VERDICT: Utilizes dealer signature which is a valid principle when applied correctly. By default you are supposed to use progression betting which can lead to big losses. Power Roulette with flat bets does beat the house edge under the right conditions, but the right conditions are unrealistic, and very difficult to come by. On most wheels you will have no advantage at all. However if rare conditions are found, it can produce good winnings. Overall a good system but quite expensive for what it is.
