What is a Biased Roulette Wheel?
First, let us define what bias means. In gambling, this refers to a consistent behavior or pattern in a game. In roulette, bias means the wheel seems to “favor” one number over the others. Biased roulette wheels are not rigged; rather they are flawed. As you know, a roulette wheel has numbered pockets in it. A ball is thrown into the wheel and the pocket it stops on when the wheel settles is the winning bet. When a wheel is biased, something causes the ball to fall into a particular pocket more than the others. Obviously this creates an advantage for the gambler. A biased roulette wheel is desirable for enthusiasts of the game. If you can identify a biased roulette wheel, chances are good you can make money with it. When a roulette wheel has a bias, the same number appears about every 20-30 spins. If you wager on the favored number all the time, even if it doesn’t win, you will gain the advantage over the house in the long term. What causes a roulette wheel to be biased? No one can say
