Gonzalo Garcia-Pelayos (Los Pelayos)

[scarby]

Hi,

Yesterday I watched the documentary about Los Pelayos - the family team in Spain that hit biased wheels in Madrid in 1991.

After the team had been banished from Madrid for making consistent profits they then went across Europe and finally to Vegas before Gonzalo collapsed from stress.

The impression that the documentary gave was that - at least then - there were a lot of biased wheels biased enough to be worth exploiting. Not only did they happen upon several wheels in Madrid, they then seemed to readily find them wherever they travelled.

I was somewhat surprised by this. I did not realise that wheels biased enough to reap profits from were so commonplace.

Thoughts? Feel free to watch the documentary if you haven't already. It's on YouTube and is well worth watching as it's entertaining as well. There has also been a Spanish feature film made about it.

thats an interesting story , i ve done it in slots back in time ,and the only thing to point out is that good things not last for long , now days casinos take countermeasures becoz all of these happened, like that spanish guy , and some other guys , anyway the conclusion should be that if ever find a kind of flaw exploit it as much as  u can becoz it wont last forever....

And we won´t last forever! What impressed me the most was the fact that Gonzalo  fell from his chair when he collapsed at the casino.
So we ought to take the NERVOUS SYSTEM into consideration too by sleeping, meditating and God knows what.

Is there someone knowledgeable enough to download, say a month of data from the Duisburg casino (available on the web) with OCR software and put it into a program to find out if indeed there are biased wheels?
The casino in Duisburg has about 18 tables, so if someone would research 4, tables with a month of data, it should give us a clear picture if indeed biased wheels exist.
