This is another electronic device used to predict where the ball will land (roulette computer). The seller maintains numerous mirrored roulette system review sites where he gives himself top reviews, but attacks his competition. This would be fine if he actually told the truth, but he unjustly slams his competition while portraying himself as the most honest and competent person alive. One of his review sites includes rouletteplace.com/collection/index.html but he mirrors it elsewhere.
You're probably aware I'm in conflict with Forester. The details aren't relevant, but if you're interested, see www.roulettewars.com/forester.html. What IS relevant is that I do not let our conflict get in the way of truth when it comes to reviewing his devices. That is to say if his device is great, I will say it. Or if his device has shortcomings, I will say this too. Unfortunately Forester doesn't share the same views when it comes to putting truth before pride.
Forester has a hard time accepting his devices are inferior to those I've developed. For example, years before he had developed a computer that actually "spoke" predictions, I had developed computers that generate predictions automatically from image recognition hardware and a hidden camera (see www.hybridroulettecomputer.com) - our technology is worlds apart. It's not that he isn't aware of the truth - he simply chooses to ignore it. I've tried many times to enlighten him, but my every attempt to show him proof is met with excuses and refusal. In other words, he's not interested in the truth because it doesn't suit him. On one occasion he even refused to see a 5 minute test when I had my roulette computer right in front of him. Why? Because the testing would have proved he has been misleading people about my roulette computers, and that his computers are NOT the superior devices he claims them to be. In addition to his ostrich-like behavior, Forester seems to believe if his device can't beat certain wheels, then no other computer can. Nevertheless, I'll focus on the review of his FFA device.
While Forester may claim my opinions are biased, it is important to note what I say about his technology is virtually identical to what other professional testers of his devices have said. When the other testers released their results (several different reports), Forester manipulated the public by highlighting only the positive points, while ignoring the negative points. The negative and most relevant points were that the device can only beat significantly flawed and rare wheels - not the average modern roulette wheel. However, you don't even need a roulette computer to beat flawed wheels. An example of Forester's manipulation is as follows:
The tester claimed the device is "deadly accurate", but ONLY when it comes to predicting where the ball will fall from the ball track - NOT the actual winning number (this is NOT even giving consideration to ball deceleration rate changes that occur in the real casino environment, but I'll explain this later). When it came to predicting the actual winning number which is what counts, the tester found the computer was unable to achieve a significant advantage on the average modern wheel. Forester's "version" of the tester's conclusion is simply that the tester said the device was "deadly accurate", period. Certainly, Forester tends to present words in the context that best suits him. If you confront Forester with this information and the other tester's reports, it is undeniable - although Forester's defense is basically that if his computer can't beat certain wheels, then no computer can. If you read the roulette computer comparison page at my website and the points below, you will understand what forester's computer does wrong, what it doesn't do, and why my computers beat wheels that his doesn't. Since his computer very clearly doesn't do all it could do, why does he say accuracy can't get any better than what his FFA achieves? Ego. To his credit, Forester is still developing FFA but it still has a long way to go.
Nevertheless, it is not to say FFA cannot be successfully used on some wheels. As the other tester found, I certainly agree it can produce a significant advantage on rare wheels that exhibit a strong drop zone - that is where the ball tends to solidly hit the same diamond(s) far more frequently than others. However, such wheels are quite rare and arguably you may spend more money traveling trying to find suitable wheels than its worth.
FFA unlimited is Forester's latest roulette computer. It is at an overall stage of development my "standard" computers were at approximately 2 years ago. It uses almost identical algorithms to his FFZ computer, but FFA is far better than FFZ because it finally speaks predictions rather than giving very impractical electric zaps (see FFZ computer for the "zap" version).
The bottom line is FFA is "acceptable" computer, but can only beat rare wheels. It is still miles ahead of Mark Howe's latest roulette computer. To someone that does not have thorough experience with roulette computers, FFA is initially impressive, if you apply it on DVD spins of heavily flawed wheels where the ball hits the same diamonds very often, and the ball barely bounces like the wheels in the video on Forester's site. But take it into a modern casino environment, with modern wheels in good condition, and it is "profitable" only in rare circumstances. It is NOT the best roulette computer despite what Forester's ego will tell you - in reality it is quite simplistic, and doesn't anywhere near do all that is possible to maximize accuracy. Again if you read the roulette computer comparison page at my website, you will understand what forester's computer does wrong, what it doesn't do, and why my computers beat wheels that his doesn't.
After being sent FFZ for free and seeing how poor it was, I did not bother to look at Forester's other computers until they at least spoke predictions - this is what FFA does. Actual voice predictions saying exactly where to bet should be considered essential, yet it took years for Forester to create such a device. Now three of my own players own a FFA who all agree my computer is definitely more accurate, easier to use, and more practical. But that is not to say FFA is a scam or no good. After discussing the device with owners I know very well, and testing it for myself, I found the following:
Positive Points:
Negative Points
NOTE: There are countless very important features and capabilities my computer has, but FFA lacks. Truly Forester does not appear to have the vaguest idea of what my most powerful computers ara capable of. However, I no longer sell my roulette computers (they are FREE to partners), and I have no interest to explain full details of them.
Many times I have explained the shortcomings of Forester's devices, and he responded by claiming I was just full of it. Then later he ends up fixing his computer's problems, and making them more like mine. A few examples are:
Forester is still developing his FFA, so perhaps eventually his computers will more more beneficial. But while he hasn't achieved full development, he shouldn't be claiming his computer is far superior to every other computer.
Further Details of the other tester:
The FFA has been reviewed by Michael Barnett, who is a consultant hired by casinos to advise them about professional players. Forester openly sent his FFA to casinos for testing, and has openly stated he educates the casinos on how roulette computers are applied. Forester claims he is a player. Why on Earth would any serious player, or advocate of players, ever help the casinos to detect roulette computer players? Nevertheless, as with Barnett's review of FFZ, I basically agree with his report regarding FFA, with some exceptions. Before I explain the exceptions, I'll state that Barnett's review of FFA was much more positive than his review of FFZ. For example, the FFA gave predictions on almost all spins, whereas FFZ failed to give any prediction on a huge amount of spins. FFA finally made it "practical" for Barnett to conduct extensive testing.
Barnett concluded that accuracy for tilted wheels was very good, although you should be aware such wheels are very difficult to find. As for level wheels, Barnett found accuracy was very good only IF you consider where the ball actually lost momentum and fell, without giving any consideration to what happens once it fell and hit the rotor. Barnett had said previously that Forester's computer could NOT achieve a significant edge on such wheels because it could not predict where the ball would bounce with sufficient accuracy. In other words, Barnett said FFA is not accurate for real play on modern and well-maintained level wheels. Importantly, you need to read all of Barnett's reports to fully understand what he is saying, including the reports on FFZ.
While I agree with Barnett's findings, I have the following additional comments:
VERDICT: Forester claims to be one of the world's best roulette players, that he wins often, and knows millionaire professional roulette players. Forester has many websites to promote his roulette computer, including numerous manipulative review sites, and a large professional website with a fancy order page - he also previously advertised on ebay but stopped probably because no-one purchased. He once had someone sell his device for him for $5000 each. When he posts on roulette forums, he tends to spam his links. Often he posts to forums solely to discredit his competitors, yet criticizes other sellers such as Mark Howe for doing the same. Forester claims he has no interest advertising FFA or sales, and that he offers his device purely as goodwill. You decide.
FFA consists of about $20 in parts, and would take approximately an hour to assemble. FFA sells for almost $2000. Forester claims he doesn't profit from sales, and that he has no business interest in discrediting anyone. You decide.
Regardless, Forester is relatively honest about what his computers can and cant do. But where he goes wrong is claiming that if his computers cant do something, then no other computer can. FFA is excellent for tests at home in front of your TV and DVD player, but has limited use in the real casino environment on the average modern wheel. It's why there doesn't appear to be a single person who has ever made significant money with it. It's why many of his players end up selling the device, rather than actually profiting. It's why one player lost over EUR40,000. It's why one player was caught using it in Europe - likely because of the very poor wireless equipment.
If you live near wheels where the ball hits the same diamond almost always in a solid way, and the ball barely bounces after falling, I recommend FFA, but only if you play as a single player because the 2 player wireless version will just get you caught. However, if you play in a normal casino where the ball isn't made from lead, the ball doesn't always hit the same 1 or 2 diamonds, and spins occur once every 2+ minutes, then FFA isn't going to make you money. Nevertheless, the idea of professional play is to actively SEEK the best wheels to play. If you do that, traveling around may be expensive, but you'll be able to find suitable wheels. It's more a question of whether or not the money you spend on travel will be returned by the wheels you find. It may be a better option to use a computer than can be successfully applied on a much broader range of wheels and better yet, it wont cost you anything up-front - see www.roulettecomputers.com/partners.html
Of course Forester will again say my review is inaccurate, despite it again reflecting Barnett's review. And of course he will claim his computer is best, and that all mobile phone computers are scams. Therefore, so should any of Forester's FFA or FFZ purchasers want to know for sure if my claims that my computer is more accurate are true, read the roulette forum thread at http://www.rouletteforum.net/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1262064653/ - I have created a DVD of many spins showing application of my roulette computer, and will send this DVD for FREE to Forester's purchasers so they can compare results. If you have FFA or FFZ and take this offer, you will find that clearly my computer produces a better edge, even when predictions from my computer are a whole second or so earlier than predictions from FFA. Then you'll know for yourself who has been telling the truth, and who is full of it.
