I remember reading that article, it was very cool I was impressed by them. Not that I'm generally endeared to people cheating casinos, but it was just so clever and hi tech - especially since it turns out to not even be illegal. Dug up an article on it if anyone wants to read:

As to systems, there is clearly and definitely no way whatsoever of beating a roulette wheel. I heard someone refer to playing roulette 'badly' the other day, when its a basic law of probability that everyone plays roulette exactly the same. You can change the variance with systems, exchange regular small losses for occasional huge ones, but that's it. But, if a distant relative is in town for one night and wants to spend a couple of hours at a casino, and will never play again, a system is prob not a horrible idea and kinda fun. If you're using a system to play regularly, you're throwing money away just the same as if you were betting any random outcome on the wheel.
And I dunno what the dice thing is about, you thinking of craps?
