After playing for 1 year, I have noticed that opportunities are out there and there are sometimes no correlation to the size of ball being used. Bigger ball are not necessarily good. I know the reason and it is because bigger ball tend to be less affected by defect which caused one diamond to be dominant and the angle at which the ball hit the diamond is more stable for a “smaller’” ball. This is contrary to logic that bigger and heavier ball is usually better.
I have noticed that in order to beat a wheel, consistency is what is important. Using bias logic, I sometimes will do a pre-profile of the diamond hit ratio and the angle of which the ball hit the diamond ratio to previously collected data. Usually, it is all good unless condition suddenly change and this is how players can loose money. However, you can probably know with experience and walk away or switch to another table.
Previous Data does not necessarily mean future play will be correlated to it unless conditions stays the same. Let’s say for some reason DD3 clockwise ball is the dominant diamond with 45% hit rate and DD12 with 25% hit rate and DD6 with 24% hit rate, DD9 is only 6%. For some reason, maybe because of the dealer or something changed such as air pressure or temperature or temporary bias on the ball track, now DD12 is 40%, DD3 is 30%, DD6 is 20%, everything will be different and that you might be playing a negative game!
