Knowing the Wheel
When you walk up to a roulette table and put money down, you
are basically throwing it away to chance and most of the players I see
do just that, throw their money away. Roulette is not a race, it is a
marathon, and cramming as much money on the board as you can is a
doomsday invitation to lose it all quickly. The first step in your
knowledge base for roulette is to know the wheel. I am only going to
speak about the American style wheel, because it is what I have tested
and proven my method with.
Memorizing the wheel is not the easiest thing in the world to do,
but if accomplished can give you one of the biggest advantages you can
get playing this game. In the first figure are both versions of the wheel.
Let us look more in depth at the American style wheel.

I am not going to discuss the
European wheel but as you can see it has
only one zero improving your odds
slightly. We will use the 0 and double 00
as reference for our roulette strategy. We
also need the table to get a grasp of what I
am referring to in regards to the numbers.

Starting from the 00 on the top of the American wheel and make
your way counter clock wise number by number. This is what you will
see.
Left side of the wheel:
Top of the
Board
Middle of the
Board
Bottom of the
Board
1 13 36
3 24 34
5 15 32
7 22 30
11 17 26
9 20 28
Looking at the table you think duhhhh but what you did not see is that
when I was building this table I filled the middle portion first, because
there is a heavy middle section on the wheel starting from thirteen on
©PappaTangos.com Page 7
the left side and continuing counter clockwise to twenty. The same is
true on the right side of the wheel. Starting from 14 moving counter
clockwise until 19 the wheel is heavy middle of the board. Below are
the numbers shown for you and this will become important later.
On the left side of the wheel, starting from 13 and going until 20 the
numbers are like this:
Middle=6 (this is 2/3 of this wheel section)
Top=2
Bottom=3
Other numbers on the left side…from 7 to 28 Top=3….Middle=3 and
that pesky 1 next to the 00=Top. The same is true for the right side of
the wheel starting from 14 counterclockwise to 19. Here are the
numbers: Middle=6 (this is 2/3 of this wheel section)
Top=2
Bottom=3
©PappaTangos.com Page 8
Other numbers on the right side are 8 to 27 once again equaling 3 to 3
for the Top and Bottom, with that pesky 2 next to the 0.
As you can see knowing the wheel can go in your favor if you can
put together a couple of different concepts. Know the wheel and later
watching the croupier’s habits.
Knowing the Table
Knowing the table is a lot easier
because it is staring you in the face and
not hiding behind the croupier and the
glass. Let’s look at it again. As you can
see, 1-12 are on the top third of the board
13-24 are on the middle section of the
board and 25-36 are on the bottom
section of the board. Very obvious you say. This is true but now that
©PappaTangos.com Page 9
you know where the middle is heavy in the wheel, you can make a
better decision later on how to bet.
Watch the Croupier
Now let us integrate some ideas. You know where the wheel is
heavy and you know what number is located where on the board. It is
time to study the croupier.
Often times the croupier changes every 15 minutes to an hour so
it is important to catch his or her habits early. Many people play this
game by odds, but seriously, this game is the chaos theory put to use
very well so odds are useless unless you broke the equation of
Murphy’s Law and should now rule the world. Numbers can often be
deceiving and betting on something not happening again may work at
times, but looking for habits is the best way of all to catch some distinct
rolling patterns. What you want to do is find the weakness of the game
©PappaTangos.com Page 10
and that weakness is human just like any other game or system.
Croupiers throw that little pearl around the wheel hundreds of times
per day and have developed (in most cases) muscle memory often
times not even paying attention to how they roll. When you step up to
a table you will see to the left or right of the wheel the number board
telling you what number and colors have hit for the past 20 or so. This
is your first reference point. Does the croupier hit randomly or does he
have a pattern of left to right on the wheel or every 15 numbers around
the wheel per turn. That is what memorizing the wheel does for you.
Study these numbers intently and do not bet until you think you have
an idea of what you want to do. I will tell you the best ways to bet
later, but first you must understand the concept of the bet. Before you
bet, you must be smart about the cost and the take. I will also
associate this method of croupier understanding with a very intense
and fun way to test your mind and betting skill later as a finally.
©PappaTangos.com Page 11
Being Smart
Betting can be dangerous if you do not understand the limitations
of the odds against you, be smart. Roulette (especially the American
wheel) is heavily in favor of the house because of the 00. You must
understand that continuing to gamble when you are up significantly
brings your chance of winning down significantly. When you come to
the table, you come with a specific amount of money to be told to you
at a later time. You do not go to the ATM for more. You do not, when
ahead, put more down than the predetermined plan. Set a goal, get
close to it, and get out. If you lose the money that you came in with,
which is of course possible because you are human, you leave and
come back again another day, logging how much you lost and setting
that goal again. Do not make your goal to lofty even though you lost
last time, this is a cardinal mistake that leads into the greedy stay at the
©PappaTangos.com Page 12
table even though you are ahead, mentality. Be nice to the croupier
often tipping a dollar or two when you win. This does a lot more for
your winning than you would think. Sure, there is some psychology
behind it, but just remember it is chaos.
Basic Strategy and Odds
©PappaTangos.com Page 13
The table above tells you everything
you need to know about the odds. On the
left side is the numbers or areas you will
be betting in and on the right are the odds
of winning and the take if you win.
Looking at the table you can get an idea of
the possibilities of breaking the odds in
your favor and after reading, my proven
method you may come up with something
that you think may be better. I have run
the numbers many, many times and have not found anything better
yet. Finally, we are to the point of developing the strategy.
My Strategy and other methods
When we take all the information given in this pamphlet and put
them to affective use you will be successful playing roulette if you do

not get greedy. You, the croupier, the board, and the wheel have to be
in harmony or this strategy and the other will not work.
First, you have studied the croupier and found a pattern or maybe
you think you can guess the next best number. That is up to you. Do
not sit at a table with no one else on it, because you have to bet for the
croupier to roll the ball. Now, you are not the only one at the table so
you sit down and give him your money.
You came to the casino with a minimum of 60 dollars and a max
of 120, so you do not hurt your budget if you have one. If you do not,
then this strategy will still work for you but on a different scale. The
reason you came in with those numbers is you will be playing 12
numbers at a time, breaking the table down into 3rd’s the natural way,
i.e.: 1-12, 13-24, and 25-36 or a mix of top and middle or middle and
bottom, that all depends on how you fill about the roll at the time.
Looking at the odds table above you can see on a ten-dollar minimum
table what you might or might not win.
©PappaTangos.com Page 15
Now give the croupier your 60 to 120 dollars and get it all in 1’s
unless you are working with double than the standard amount or more
of the starting money. Now that you have an Idea of what you want to
bet on, let us look at what we should do to maximize our take. You
decide either from gut instinct or from a solid croupier read, that he or
she would roll a number on the middle section. I play this section often
because of its large area of the wheel that it is predominant.
You now take a 20 stack of your chips and set them on the table
the way that is shown here.
This shape represents
three chips.
This represents one
chip.
This will add up to twenty
total chips down and that number is subtracted from the amount you
win from hitting one of these numbers. You can cross-reference the
23 1.1 48 2.3 1.1 23
30 1.5 63 3.1 1.5 30
30 1.5 63 3.1 1.5 30
23 1.1 48 2.3 1.1 23
©PappaTangos.com Page 16
odds sheet if you like. The numbers in green represent the total win
after the twenty you bet is subtracted. Add twenty to the numbers to
see the total win. The numbers with decimal points next to the total
capitol gained are the number of rolls you have just gone ahead after
winning in that quadrant. If you keep up with that math you will all
ways know how many turns you are ahead of the house. I have done
multiple versions of this technique and have found that it has the best
return on investment. If you do not feel good about the croupier’s roll
just play minimum on the color i.e.: red or black.
When playing the 3rd’s in this manor you are not obliged to play in
any of the three distinct 3rd’s. You can split the thirds. Say you think
the croupier is leaning toward 26 after you study his rolls. You may be
better suited to split the middle 3rd with the bottom 3rd to be safe. This
would mean that you put your 20 chips on the board starting from 22
to 33 or 19 through 30.
©PappaTangos.com Page 17
This method has brought in a 180% return on investment on
roulette for me and I am sure it will do the same for you. Another
method that I do not consider as safe but is very respectable is if you
have a good handle on how the croupier is rolling and you have a
number in your head, take the 20 and surround the number like so:
As you see, you are using
five of your chips around a
specific hot number of your
choice. With the rest of your
chips you could stack them on
top of that specific bet or choose
four more numbers that
surround that number on the wheel. The rate of return is not as good if
you miss more than you hit with this strategy, but that is your decision.
Another variant of this particular strategy is the uses of 20 chips on the
©PappaTangos.com Page 18
board, much like my primary betting style, accept this style utilizes the
wheel, and the board is just there to monitor the wheel. The table and
wheel are locked in a balance of opposing forces that can be seen by
the pictures below.
The numbers that are covered on
the table are the left side of the wheel
and I call it area LM (left middle). You
see how it can be easily remembered.
Look at the table. The chips stack points
toward the ‘X’ in the middle (‘X’ marks the spot). The same can be said
for the RM section of the, wheel or right middle section, see below.
©PappaTangos.com Page 19
The numbers on the board point
away from the center and in the center,
the chips create a circle like shape. Now
that you can see the LM and RM portion
of the wheel on the table, let us look at
what I call the top and bottom of the wheel.
Looking at the wheel to the right you can see
the numbers that will be on the board. The
layout below is what your chips will look like
if you bet on a top and bottom wheel bet.
©PappaTangos.com Page 20
You can split the top and bottom relatively easily by looking at the
wheel diagram. As I stated earlier, utilizing around 20 chips you cover
the section of the wheel you think the croupier will hit base on your
analyzing their previous roles. Now on to a very dissimilar method.
Many people play thirds and most utilize the 2 to 1 odds method
and I do not believe the return is worth the time or money. I will
explain it to you anyway. Utilizing the table minimum, you put one
stack of table minimum chips on a third of your choice (left, middle,
right, or top, middle, bottom) and another minimum stack on another
third of your choice. If you win on one of these thirds, you are up 5 or
10 dollars depending on the table minimum. After winning the starting
©PappaTangos.com Page 21
amount back, (10 or 20 dollars depending on the minimum table bet),
you double your bet until you have reached the second starting
amount, which was either 20 or 40 dollars. People do have success
utilizing this method, but it is slow and sometimes can be very boring,
because you are just blindly putting money down on the 3rds. This
system goes on and on until you get board or the wheel beats you.
Another method I came across by a gambling pro was a percentage play
that is hot and cold depending on the roll. First things first, you are
playing with bigger chips. You will be getting chips in 5 dollar
increments and playing three of them on one color i.e.: red or black.
Utilizing 2 of your five, five dollar chips you will be choosing a number
of your choice, odds (35to1), and a split of your choice, odds (17-1).
You cannot change the numbers chosen or you reduce your chance of
hitting them. The odds of the table have now been turned in your favor
at a rate of 53% chance of winning. I personally prefer to use 6 five
dollar chips, which give you around a 56% chance of winning. You
come out even on the color win and you have a better chance of
©PappaTangos.com Page 22
winning on the board numbers. The key to this one is to not change
color or numbers and get out when you hit big and try it again another
day.
Earlier I wrote about surrounding a number when you have an
idea what the croupier might hit. That is an ok strategy, but as
strategies go, they are all ways evolving and getting better. I will be
updating this book until I have figured out as much as possible about
this game, but on to the strategy. There is a technique called timing the
croupier, that takes quite a bit of practice. I just recently found it to be
an amazing and difficult way to bet. One day I was sitting at a table and
a man was betting a standard minimum bet on the table. No big deal,
but wait he change his bet immediately after the croupier rolled and
stacked towers of chips on two or three numbers. I started to follow
him around on the table and won with him. He was winning about 25
percent of the time, but when he hit, he hit really big. The key to this
man’s betting system was timing the croupier’s roll. He and I now
©PappaTangos.com Page 23
watch for the best and most consistent croupier, in terms of rolling
ability, and play that table. If the croupier is erratic then do not sit
down at that table. What I mean by erratic is this. You have now sat
down or are standing up next to the wheel, because that is where you
have to be to read the croupier’s roll. When the croupier roll, do they
spin the wheel at the same speed every time or do they change it up?
You want a croupier who spins and rolls the ball the same every time
and you will know. Watch his spin, when it leaves his hand what
number did it come out on? Remember that number and wait for the
ball to land. Where did the ball land? Did it land directly across from
his release point three out of five rolls, or was it generally in the same
area relative to where it left his hand? If this is the case, you have just
made your first croupier and can now begin to calculate landing
positions of the ball based on where the ball was released.
These techniques are the only tried and true methods that I have
come across. I hope that next time you go to the casino, you go for fun,
©PappaTangos.com Page 24
get out when you are ahead and never be to serious, because you will
not enjoy the true chaotic numbers game of the best game in the world
roulette.
