The Roulette Formula: How to Predict the Exact Number Paperback – May 16, 2006

Kimo shows you how to map out and play patterns on the WHEEL, instead of the betting board, which is what most people do (and fail!). For very little money, you can cover 'pie' sections of the wheel, or spread your bets out evenly, all around the wheel, so that the ball never lands far from your numbers. This is essential for a winning roulette strategy, and really, the only way to play! I bought this book many years ago, and it has greatly improved my game.

The writer has a point . But the dealer at the casinos throws the ball unsystematically . But this book gives you a great idea to learn the sequence of number and some plays . Good work . Should read . But the game definitely is a game of chance .

This book teaches you to understand the make up of the American Roulette wheel. It gives very few guidelines as to how to predict the winning number. It is recommended for the curious researcher of mathematically based games, but I would say not for the serious player who wants to make money out of the roulette wheel.

gives info but not the complete plan

Complicated for novice but if you are willing to power through than review the material until understood it equips you with invaluable tools to roulette.

it was a great it shows alot when getting ready for vegas I wish I had the book a few years ago.....

This was a good book but a little too involved for me.

This book is very technical but offers no specific playing strategies.First, the author divides the wheel into 6 sections ("global pie" chuncks.) Then, he illustrates various patterns on the betting layout to help visually memorize where numbers and sections are on the wheel (not necessary because you can look at your own notes when you're at the roulette table.) Then, he reverse-engineers the numbers on the wheel to show various mathematical relationships between numbers in their arrangement on the wheel. If this is not useless information, then the author fails to convey what value there is to it (all I could keep thinking, as I read and re-read this part of the book, was... "SO WHAT??") Then, he presents another set of sections called "Global Stars", which are non-connected, symetrically opposed numbers on the wheel (rather than blocks of numbers like the "pies.") Finally, he concludes that when a single Global Pie merges with a single Global Star, the exact number is predicted. Yes, obviously, if you can predict the right star in the right pie chunk, you get the right number, but he doesn't tell you how to DO that.The jist of his methodology seems to be that by observing where the ball is landing (into which global pies and stars), one can predict where the ball will fall next, by tracking the "ball movement." The movement of the ball is analyzed by observing if the ball is doing a "hemi", a "bow-tie", or a "nuke", which refer to the ball landing in pie sections that are adjacent to each other, or opposite each other, or somewhere in between.The author gives no examples of how a playing session might go. There are no example sets of spins, showing what you would bet on next and why, nor will you find any explanation of what exactly constitutes a trend, and how you should bet on it. If there is any value to this book, it will be up to the reader to extract it and work out his own system for utilizing the information presented.
