Agree. Magicians know the psychological value of an occassional failure. The whole thing was set up from the start to be a near-miss.

Roulette prediction, like all forms of advantage play, is about a relatively subtle shifting of percentages. You can't predict the exact number, or the exact octant, or even which half the wheel. You may be able to predict that certain numbers are more likely than others, but that is the limit of predictive capability even with a computer.

Brown did a similar thing with card counting at blackjack in another episode. He won some money in a casino and made out that it was due to his amazing memory. In fact an amazing memory makes no practical difference to how much you win at blackjack at all, at least in a single session of play.

Now only £300 to rent a roulette computer, comes with invisible micro hearing aid and computer, software, remote switch, practice footage, for that money, well worth looking into. I saw the Ad at iamaspammer.com so will keep you informed how I do as I have decided to purchase one.
