Hi heinz blasnik; Re ways to beat roulette... Check out the following links:

The success of the Eudaemons' project was based on pioneering research in non-linear dynamics at UCSC's Physics Department. Modeling and predicting the behavior of a roulette wheel was one of the most unusual and exciting applications of knowledge from this field.

The Eudaemons made use of two separate shoe computers while at the roulette table. The first, shown in Figure 1, used a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor and was worn by an observer near the roulette wheel. The observer would clock the motion of the wheel and ball using a toe-operated switch.

P.S. In my calculations for 0 and 00 roulette wheels, I forgot to take into account streaks of the zeros. Consequently, I was a bit off. I redid the calculations while waiting for a chip to place and route today at work, and will PM the results to anyone interested.
