quote from article (is it Caleb?!):

"If you wish to beat the house, look for a wheel for which the ball drops only from one side of the rim â€" that is, a crooked table," Small said in the release. "Prediction becomes substantially simpler and more reliable."

2nd quote from article (oops sorry AP players, not so fast) :

" even if the odds are in your favor, there is still a probability of losing, and losing big. In the long run you would come out ahead but you may first need very deep pockets."

The 2nd quote is what I have always said, AP players have the same losing dips you would see in an ignatus graph....

and the 3rd quote (sorry AP guys) :

"Don't rejoice too quickly, gamblers. As the researchers note in the paper, "for the casino the news is mostly goodâ€"minor adjustments will ameliorate the advantage of the physicist-gambler." As a result, professional gamblers should probably stick to the games where math and skill still reign supreme over chance, like poker."

That article, plus the researcher's work, is about 2% of the whole picture. Actually anyone can learn to beat an easy wheel in a few minutes with simple VB. It's really, really simple.
