My Crazy 1991 Roulette System (Dot Noting)

[Merlin]

Here's my little adventure in Atlantic City that I had with a friend back in 1991.

In October 1991, I bought a plastic roulette and my friend and I made $30,000 every night at home playing a simple roulette system.

Now of course, because it's a plastic roulette, we were all skeptical and always wondered if the system would work with real wooden roulette in real casinos so we did a trip to Atlantic city where I spend the whole thanksgiving week at the Sands Casino sitting down, not playing but instead just noting all the numbers from a bunch of roulettes in order to come back home to analyze the data.

What we found out was cool because we proved that real casino roulettes and plastic ones all have the same odds. So we knew that the $30,000 we made each night at home could be replicated in real casinos.

It takes about 80 spins just to note which hot numbers the roulette has and then the betting can start. In most casinos, you get up to 300 colored chips so we started with $100 to buy 100 blue chips at $1 each chip and then as we win more, we switched to $5 chips then $25 and finally end up with 300 blue chips valued at $100 each for a total of $30,000.

We didn't cheat and counted all the losses and yet, we still manage to do those $30,000 wins over and over again.

About 20 years later, I found in 2008 a roulette forum where a programmer helped me create cool Excel macros where you can program a roulette system but for some reason I still don't understand, we never programmed that 1991 system that worked very well back then and I think this is the time to prove if this system is solid once and for all.

If anyone gets this message please let me know and I will post screenshots of my system and maybe even post our excel sims.

We couldn't program it and test it but now I will seek a roulette forum and look for a programmer to program it and then we will know if it worked or not.

Basically it goes something like this...

After 100 spins, if I ask you to tell me the "hottest numbers" that this roulette came up with, unless you're a robot, you wouldn't have a clue...right? I mean, most people can't even recall the last 5 spins much less remember all the last 100 spins or even worst, which ones were the hottest in the batch.

This is why I fell in love with a basic noting method that I call "Dot noting".

Instead of noting, 5,34,16,32,5,0,19,34,5,11,6,9,10,17,34,0,12,5,18,16,22,0,31, and have no clue which one is hot, if you noted all 37 numbers on this sheet above first, then write a little dot next to each number that came up, you would get something like this sheet attached below.

For example, if you would use this sheet to note all the numbers i posted above you would see that the number 5, 34 and 0 all came out 3 times each.

This noting method tells you right away which hot number the roulette has chosen for the last 100 spins. No need to rub a rabbit's foot or pick your girlfriend birthday number to get a "hot number", here you just note all the numbers that comes up and circle those that came out 3 times and when you look, BOOM... you see all of the hot numbers at a glance.

So when you go to a casino, for about an hour or so, you just note little dots on your sheet and after 100 spins, it would look like this...

In red are all the 21 hot numbers that came out 3 times or more for a total of 83 spins and in blue are the 16 cold numbers that came out a total of 17 spins.

Then you hope that the roulette keeps her hot numbers on the following 100 spins and when she does, you build up all your 300 chips from $1 to $5 to $25 and then finish the evening with 300 chips worth 100$ each for a nice total of $30,000. .

Not bad hey?

What I found out back then is that each roulette has its own hot numbers during each 100 spins. On average if you add up all the 18 hottest numbers that came out you end up with 75 dots and the other 25 dots are listed among the other loser 18 numbers.

You would think that if you bet 18 numbers which is half the table, that you would win 50 spins out of 100 but nope... if you bet on the cold numbers you will win only 25 times but if you know and bet on the 18 hot numbers, then you will win 75 times out of those 100 spins.

The problem was that unless you are a robot, there was no way to know which 18 numbers were the hottest ones but with this Dot Noting method, it's very easy.

Cool stuff indeed.

Below is a program that I started programming back then called "Roulette Buster" that could be minimized on your pc screen to fit with an online casino like Dublinbet but I didn't finish it because I don't know VB that well.

Hopefully this year we will find a VB programmer that will test this sytem with us and insert it into Roulette Buster so that we all become rich in 2024.

Below is the MS Excel file that contains all the 1000s of real roulette spins of the Wiesbaden Casino in Germany back in 2008.

So if you want to test with me then send me a PM and I will send you my private email address to download it and open it in Excel.

For some reason I don't understand, I can't attach the Excel sheet on this post.

I tried your system here https://www.roulettesimulator.net/. After 100 spins, there were 21 hot numbers. I started betting with a total chips of $5008 (I had to bet a chip per spin for the roulette to allow me to spin in the previous 100 spins, hence the random starting number).

During the first 33 spins, I bet $1 per all 21 numbers. By the end of the 33 spins, I was at $4999, so a loss of $9. At no point I was $100 ahead to switch to $5.

For the next 33 spins, I bet $5 per all the 21 numbers. At the 66th spin I was at $5314, so $306 ahead.

For the final 34 spins, I bet $25 per number, and at the 100th spin I was at $5464, so 456 ahead. The highest I ever was was $7500.

Could you go into some more details of the betting style you did? You start with $100 1 dollar chips, at what point do you start betting $5, and then $25.

Regardless of the betting style, I was nowhere near your results after 100 spins. Why is that?

[Merlin]

The main problem of this system is inconsistency.

You see, during 100 spins, each roulette will have its favorite hot numbers and cold numbers.

On average, out of 100 spins, around 65-75 spins or so will come from the 18 hot numbers and the other 25-35 spins will fall on the other cold 18 numbers.

It's called the law of 3rd.

During 100 spins...

- 1/3 of the numbers will come out TWICE
- 1/3 of the numbers will come out ONCE
- 1/3 of the numbers will NOT come out at all

The dot noting method allows us to see this imbalance. Now just because you can see on sheet #1 the hot numbers that attracted 2/3 of all the spins, does NOT make it certain that those hot numbers will come back on sheet #2.

In fact if you look below, out of all the 17 hot numbers from sheet #1 (in red), only 12 numbers (in orange) came back on the 2nd sheet for a total of 54 spins.

In other words, 54 out of the 100 spins of sheet #2 are from the hot numbers of sheet #1.

This means that the roulette was NOT STABLE and that is why out of those 12 hot numbers that came back, I would have won only 54 spins out of the 102 spins of sheet #2.

However, with my system, we add a chip on top of each number that wins. In this case here, you can see on sheet #2 hot numbers (orange and red ones) that many came out 5, 6, 7 and even 8 times and you don't need to win a lot of times with numbers that have 5-6 chips to either make money or avoid losing too much and stay alive until the roulette becomes stable.

Betting the hot numbers from the past does not make sure you will win with them on the next 100 spins.

However, by experience back in 1991, somewhere between sheet #3 and sheet #6, the roulette hot numbers become stable AND THAT is when you go from 100 chips valued at $1 to all 300 chips, then switch to $5 chips, acquire all 300 too then switch again to $25 chips, acquire all 300 chips and finally switch again to $100 valued chips and end with all 300 chips for a total of $30,000.

We did those $30,000 climb over and over again at my house back then. It's just a matter of time before the roulette stabilize itself and BOOM... the money starts pouring in. You win 7-8 times of every 10 spins and that's how you make "The Climb" to $30,000.

That is why you need to "follow" the roulette and you do that by...

1- Noting and circle each number that comes out 3 times
2- When you reach 7 circled numbers, you are around spin #50 so you start noting the 2nd sheet. For example, if #12 comes out, you put a dot on #12 on both sheet #1 and sheet #2.
3- When you reach 18-20 circled numbers, you are around spin #100 so you stop noting on sheet #1, continue noting the 2nd sheet and start noting on sheet #3.

This is how you follow the roulette and sooner or later, when the sheets synchronize and the hot numbers are almost the same form sheet to sheet, that's when you hit the jackpot.

[Merlin]

That's why we need a sim. The sim will compile many sets of 100 spins and we will see between each sheet how many hot numbers came back.

I posted above 2 sheets where 12 numbers out of the 18 hot numbers from sheet #1 came back on sheet #2 for a total of 54 spins.

Now here's another set of 2 sheets. This time 14 out of the 18 hot numbers from sheet #1 came back on sheet #2 for a total of 64 spins.

Again, usually between sheet #2 and sheet #6, you will find 2 sheets where the hot numbers come back again AND THAT'S when you make the climb to the $30,000.

When the same hot numbers come back, you win 7-8 times out of every 10 spins and you win with numbers that have 3,4, 5 or even 6 chips on each one because that's how my system works, I add 1 chip on top of every number that I win with.

Here's how it went on at my house back then.

When the roulette stabilize itself and the hot numbers keep coming back from sheet to sheet, the hot numbers keep winning sometimes with 3,4 or 5 chips on them so you acquire quickly all 300 blue chips at $1 each (total $300) then you push them back and the dealer switches them to $5 chips and push them back to you.

Now you have 60 blue chips valued at $5 each (total $300) and you keep winning so you acquire all 300 blue chips at $5 each (total $1,500) then you push them back and the dealer switches them to $25 chips and push them back to you.

Now you have 60 blue chips valued at $25 each (total $1,500) and you keep winning so you acquire all 300 blue chips at $25 each (total $7,500) then you push them back and the dealer switches them to $100 chips and push them back to you.

Now you have 75 blue chips valued at $100 each and you keep winning so you acquire all 300 blue chips at $100 each (total $30,000) then you push them back and the dealer will give you 30 white money chips valued at $1,000 each that you go cash out.

This system is a pain in the ass to play in real casino. First you need about 90 minutes of dot noting to acquire all your hot numbers to bet on. Then you need to be a robot to remember not only all the 18 numbers you need to bet on but since we add 1 chip on every winning number, you have many of them with 2 chips and many with 3 and 4 chips on them some even have 5 or 6. Can you remember all that.

At Atlantic city, my friend was doing the betting and we made the climb from $1 chips to $5 ones. he was betting all 18 numbers while I was giving them the hot numbers to bet on. I looked and I noticed he forgot to bet on #21 so he added a chip on it but then just before the dealer stops all betting, I remembered that the #21 had won many times and we should bet 3 chips on it so he added 2 more chips on the #21. Guess which number won on that spin? Yup, the #21.

Not everyone has the patience to wait 1 and a half hour dot noting a roulette table. Then, if you are unlucky like us, when it works and you go from $1 chips to $5, the casino may close the table on you. :'(

Then you have to move to another table and dot note this table for another 90 minutes.

Like I said, we need a sim and I started designing one in VB but I don't know VB enough so I didn't finish it.

I call it Roulette Buster and it would fit on the left or right side of your computer screen.

It would look like this below... Now I just need to find a Visual Basic programmer that can finish what I started.

I’m in for this!
Just a question, if you are betting on the 18 hot numbers then this means each bet you spend 18$ if it’s 1$ per number right?
I think the only part I didn’t follow properly is the betting system.

That's ok if you don't follow, I will come back with my roulette buster software soon. I'm working with programmers these days to convert my system into something we can use to play with online casinos.
