The students planned to beat roulette by using a computer to model and track the roulette wheel after collecting data for about 30 minutes of play in the casino. They needed to factor in the wheel's position, the rotor's speed, the ball's location, and its speed. They used a hidden computer to run calculations and predict a section of five numbers where the ball would likely land, giving them a significant advantage over the house.

The fact that they were able to accomplish this nearly 50 years ago is insane. I do not believe i could do the same with modern day computing

To minimize scrutiny they don't need to bet all numbers in the predicted section. Just back one of the numbers and let odds over time do the job.

A spanish group won roulettes across european casinos. Their approach was different: they analyzed each individual roulette to find little differences in frequencies of each number. I.e., they profitted on the imperfections of every individual roulettes.

Their leader was a relatively known film director, writer and tv host . He wrote a book about it and someone made a movie about them.

After those roulette campaigns, he, allegedly, was successful making money with online poker.
