I haven`t seen it myself, but i remember a discussion way back with Basieux who said that when the ball speed reaches the point where gravity overtakes the centrifugal force, the ball starts to drop. At this point the centrifugal force actually gains strenght in the ball because it starts running slightly downwards so if the wheel has a strong tilt, at some point the ball will actually move a little bit upwards on the slopes (because of the gained strenght) before gravity again takes over and pull the ball down. It can only happen on a very flat wheel type with a strong tilt and usually in spins where the ball misses a strike diamond. So the issue takes place below the diamonds. Maybe it helps if you imagine an alley. The ball comes from one top to the bottom of the alley and starts running up on the other side which is bended to the right side. So the ball will start to run upwards but soon be send to the side and back to the bottom of the alley.
Its a long time ago and i might have forgotten some points.
[quote=“Kelly, post:37, topic:684”]I might not start placing some real bets the first day, but sometimes i do. Sometimes i run a complicated black and red chart to try to appear like a typical system player with the occasional sector bet. If something appears fishy the second day, i track for a while, go to the car or hotel and run another analyse. If its playable i proceed. I might keep playing my black and reds with small stakes, but gradually the real play should fire up. On the third day, it should be pay day. After 1 - 2 days you should know where the ball should fall to be in the optimum place for a hit, if its not when it drops, something might not be right. Keep tracking ]strike diamonds[/info] to see if the wheel has been maintenanced.
Well i had a few encounters over the years but nothing real serious. I was once approached by security at my car on my way off from the casino despite that i deliberately had parked the car in the neighbour car park outside the reach from the casinos cameras. Without saying it directly, it was implyed that it was a good idea to approach another casino the next day and not use their facilities anymore. Nothing heavy, but the meaning was quite clear. At this point i was up around 20K which was a lot for me but only small stakes for the pros. So i was actually slightly surprised that they took such action.[/quote]
About “deflector smacks” or “strike diamonds”: Certain smacks happens because of debris-dust on the ball track, other cause can be a defect on the ball track.
It could favour an orbit to occur to.
So, most wheels where there are a dominant deflector smack respond to aball track defect.
Some players take advantage of the smacks, I keep out of them because they change any previous analysis I made.
Supose you prefer a certain orbit to come, how can you know if conditions are against or favour you?
Thanx Kelly. Makes sense. Problem with that wheel (even if it might have strong tilt) was the amount of spinners. Seldom hit a deflector.
