There were a group of men who have gone down in roulette history for their feat of being able to crack the roulette code. A group of physicists who called themselves the Eudaemons were headed by a roulette gambling fanatics J. Doyne Farmer and Norman Packard back in the 1970’s and with perseverance, slyness and of course a little fanaticism they managed to do the unimaginable.
What the Eudaemons were doing were more of scientific research than a way to get rich. The team wanted to devise an unbeatable mathematical system that was inspired from a line of philosophy called Eudaemonism. This philosophy speaks of karma and that if you do the right thing it creates a virtuous circle in humanity. You might be wondering what this has to do with roulette. Well even I’m not too sure, but the group certainly figured out something that related this philosophy to roulette.
What these brainy men did is they used something called and oscilloscope and a camera. They used this to record and keep track for the motion of the roulette wheel. Based on their observations they came up with an algorithm to describe its motion based on a number of variables such as the period of rotation of the roulette wheel and the time of rotation of the ball spinning in the roulette wheel.
They created a small device and a computer to gain the necessary inputs from the roulette wheel. The device was small enough to place in your shoe. When you tap your shoe the information of where the ball would land would be transmitted to a recorder that was placed in the back of your t-shirt. The recorder vibrated and gave a code that would instruct you on which bet to play. How cool is that?
Soon the team packed up and left for Vegas, of course, and worked on making a fortune with their new found roulette system. The team managed to get 44% return on their bets, which is not bad at all. However, the only set back was that the vibrations were like minor shock, but they did manage to make over 10 grand with their system which was a lot of money in those days.
