Play Roulette

Most people mistake roulette to be a very easy game: to just spin the wheel, while the ball spins in the wheel, then the ball lands on a numbered slot and that’s it! It very straightforward whether you play online or offline; but Joseph Jagger paints you a different picture. Some of his theories of the game of roulette can help any upcoming player to grasp the real nature and also teach them a little about the approach of the game.

Jagger is one of those admired men who earned the title “the man who broke the bank in Monte Carlo.” He was a well-known English Engineer back in 1875 and decided to make use of his mechanical and statistical knowledge for a good cause: to make cold hard cash at the European Roulette game in Monte Carlo. He took on six men to record the result of 6 roulette wheels at the popular Beaux-Arts Casino. Jagger found exactly what he was looking for: a bias in the roulette wheels. After nearly two years of research and monitoring, Jaggers’ men found the ball landing on nine of the numbered slots more often than was statistically possible.

Knowing the trick of the game, Jagger began placing his bets on those numbers and won £14,000, which is now worth £750,000, on his first trial. That wasn’t all! He continued to cash in for the next three days winning a total sum of £60,000. The other gamblers also began imitating Jagger’s style of betting and soon the casino was struck so hard that it had to rearrange its roulette wheels. Jagger left Monte Carlo with £3 million in today’s money, promising never to return.

After all those bygone years, there are still several roulette strategy methods to enhance your winning odds at the roulette game; just like Jagger did. But nowadays, many casinos regularly check their wheels for biases and it is rarely possible to follow Jagger’s plan. The good news is that you won’t require hiring six other people or do a research for two years to learn the edge of the game. After you have found the right casino, the first step to gain an edge is to pick the right roulette wheel.
