Roulette - Dealer Signature

Learn how to identify a dealer's signature, and you've learned how to beat the game. Of course, not all dealers have a signature with any consistency, but if you're lucky enough to find one, you may as well know how to take advantage!

The concept of a dealer's signature is that the roulette croupier may become so repetitive and methodical in their actions, that they throw the marble with the same intensity on each spin. True, the intensity and spin of the marble as it leaves the dealer's hands is only one variable in many that contribute to where it comes to rest, but nonetheless, we may see a pattern emerge. This pattern is your best bet to beat roulette.

There are a number of roulette players around the world who firmly believe they have encountered a dealer's signature, if only for one session. To try and identify a signature, act naturally and stand in a position where you can see the ball leave the dealers hand. Take notice of where the ball is on the wheel when it exits the dealer's hand. Then pay attention to where to ball lands (taking note of any extremely random bouncy balls, and exclude them from the experiment). Specifically, try to measure how far around the wheel the ball has traveled- whether it be half way around the wheel from where it left the dealers hand, or just five pockets from there. The important bit is trying to see, for each spin, if the has traveled approximately the same distance around the wheel. If it has you may identify a small pocket of numbers in one corner of the wheel that the dealer hits consistently, relative to where they let the marble go. You simply watch until the dealer let the ball go, then you place bets on the group of numbers that fall the 'signature length' around the wheel.

The chance to beat roulette based on a dealer's signature is a rare one, but you should keep an eye out for it, because you never know when you may come across it.
