Well Known Roulette Players

By Micheal Anderson

Here is some information about some of the most famous roulette players. People have been trying to beat roulette for years, but very few have actually managed to do it. This is due to the casino having a built in advantage making it impossible to beat.

On the rare occasion that someone does manage to beat roulette, they quickly become well known amongst fellow roulette players and casino fans in general.

The key is to exploit the roulette wheels bias " study a roulette wheel for long periods of time, realise which numbers come up the most and bet on them.

The most famous roulette players is Joseph Jagger. He took Montecarlo by storm in 1873 when he won a six figure sum which was a huge sum of money back in those days, the equivalent of millions today.

Another famous player is Charles Wells. Just a few years after Jagger he visited the same casino and applied the exact same system and he also walked away with a huge sum of money. It is amazing that the same casino got taken by the same system twice.

A more recent successful player is Gonzalo Garcia-Pedayo, in 1990; he spent time studying the roulette wheels at a casino in Madrid, Spain, and put the same system into practice.

Gonzalo and his family visited casinos all over Europe and ended up in Las Vegas, all the while using the same system. He retired however from this however in 1994 due to health problems caused by the stress of constantly trying to avoid being figured out by the casinos.

Possibly the most fortunate, and stupid, famous roulette player has to be Ashley Revell who placed his entire life savings of well over $100,000 on red. As luck would have it, red came up, and he doubled his money. I dont have to tell you though how ridiculously crazy he must have been to do this though, and what position he would be in now if black had come up instead
