Here is some information about some of the most famous roulette players. People have been trying to beat roulette for years, but very few have actually managed to do it. This is due to the casino having a built in advantage making it impossible to beat.

On the rare occasion that someone does manage to beat roulette, they quickly become well known amongst fellow roulette players and casino fans in general.

The famous roulette players are able to win so much money because they have figured out the roulette wheel bias. In other words, they have spent a large amount of time studying a roulette wheel, made notes of which numbers come up most, and then bet on those numbers.

The most well known famous roulette player is Joseph Jagger. He became famous for winning a six figure sum; a huge amount considering that it was the year 1873 when he won. This was at the Monte Carlo casino, and he won by applying the system described above.

Another famous player is Charles Wells. Just a few years after Jagger he visited the same casino and applied the exact same system and he also walked away with a huge sum of money. It is amazing that the same casino got taken by the same system twice.

Gonzalo Garcia-Pedayo is a more recent famous roulette player, he has been featured on a recent TV program called Breaking Vegas The Roulette Assault. In 1990 he studied the roulette wheels at the Casino De Madrid and applied the same system.

Gonzalo and his family visited casinos all over Europe and ended up in Las Vegas, all the while using the same system. He retired however from this however in 1994 due to health problems caused by the stress of constantly trying to avoid being figured out by the casinos.

Perhaps the luckiest of all famous roulette players is Ashley Revell. He walked into a casino and put his entire life savings of over $100,000 on red. Fortunately for him, red came up and he doubled his money, this was an insane thing to do though, there was just as much chance that black would have come up, then his entire life savings would have been lost on a single bet.
