Summary: did not help me
Review: book is written in very interesting way, so you keep reading, it also has some nice examples, teaches caution, but I am not sure if it is practical. well at least with me all this tactic will apply only if your minimal bet per number equal minimal bet per table and bets on red, black or any other groups bet is equal to 5x minimal table bet. And at tables where minimal bet is 25 $ you need to sit at table with about 1500 in your pocket and ready to gamble all those.
bottomline, I can not regret the purchase, but I did not win money either. :)

Summary: Ellison Wins Again!
Review: Ever since having read R.D. Ellison's "Gamble to Win Craps", I have considered it to be the very best of the 20 or so books that I have read on the subject. This changed when I read his new (May 2002) offering - "Gamble to Win Roulette".This book succeeds on two very important levels if your intention is to win at roulette. Firstly, it contains a method of bet placement and money management termed 3Q/A Reverse Select that has been subjected to 7,500 actual casino spins, which resulted in a player advantage of 7.94%. For the price of printing and postage ($4.00) the author will send you the specific results of these spins. Does it work? This reviewer intends to find out. Secondly, as in his craps book, there is a wealth of practical advice from someone who has "been there and done that". It is the flipside of the coin (so to speak) for success - the realistic application of the method, which includes player psychology, getting started, playing the Internet, to name but a few. If you believe that a sure way to succeed at anything is to emulate those who have succeed before you, and replicate their actions while heeding their advice - buy this book! I believe that the blueprint for success at gambling is contained within Ellison's book. If that is goal - buy it now!

Summary: Vapid Fluff
Review: I am not a gambler, but I do enjoy the mathematics of gaming. After reading "The Eudamonic Pie" (a non-fiction look at Stanford computer scientists using computers to beat Roulette) I figured this book might provide some insight into playing strategy. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. There are a few useful tips, but they are wedged between dozens of pages of worthless information. Need to know that chips are made of "high-impact plastic" or that you need to show up at the casino with a bankroll? This is your book. If you want to actually develop strategies to beat Vegas, save the $15 and check out any number of good Web sites that dispense gambling advice.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I have had excellent luck using the strategies in this book. The only time it has ever failed is when I did not bring enough money to cover the 2 complete series recommended when the table turns favorable (but invariably still works as I watch helplessly with nothing to bet with!). Believe in this book and this system -- it really works.

Summary: Tried it...it works!
Review: I have played Roulette and found that the house has that 5.26 edge that really hits you. Then I found this book and it is extreamly amazing. It was tested using Spin Roulette Gold a book that tracked over 3000 live internet decisions at actual tables in Vegas. I kept track of my winnings and starting out with 100 bucks I got up to 700 bucks within 3 hours of playing time. I had such an edge it was amazing. As a matter of fact, I am afraid that once the word gets out about this book they will have to change the rules of roulette because you will empty the tables bank. So a suggestion if you use this book to generate income, dont be greedy: play on different supervisor shifts and dont play using big denominations or you will draw attention to yourself and the casino will start to watch and see what you are doing. Remember..your gain is the casinos loss and there is no one that likes to lose money. Go ahead. Test it yourself. Have any tracking cards from when you played roulette at a casino? Go over the decisions you wrote down. Or get the roulette tester or Spin Roulette Gold book by Scobette and test it with that. See for yourself. Im going to vegas with this book and Im going to start making bank deposits.

Summary: Strategy Holds Up So Far!
Review: I have researched and tested many Roulette "systems", and the 3Q/A seems to offer the best and most practical way of beating the wheel that I have seen. Although I do not have long term statistics from live play, the 3Q/A holds up against real spins recorded in several books and websites. The real test will be live against the wheel, however, I am most confident with what I have seen thus far.

Summary: The Ultimate Book on Trading
Review: I know this book was written for gambling, specifically the game of Roulette. However, the methodology, discipline and logic that Mr. Ellison uses is equally applicable to trading, and more importantly, his techniques are what being a good trader is all about. Whether you gamble at the Casino or in the Financial Markets, it's all the same. Good luck to you, and read this book before you put your money down. The principles and theories are being given away for a pittance!
