      Roulette is a fixed odds game. Unlike card games, bingo and some other casino games where there are so many variables, the odds (the probability) of winning on a roulette table are fixed for every bet. If you know how the game works and understand something about the statistical probabilities of the bets, you can reduce the risk of losing and play with the odds in your favour. Surprisingly, even though you may win more often, you will almost certainly put your winnings back and lose in the long run if you just continue what you are doing. This is a statistical fact and is because the European table has an advantage of 2.7%. Despite this however, there are still ways to help counteract the problem particularly if you change the way you bet and introduce a betting ratio into your play. If you get it right, you could at least extend your time on the table, reduce your losses or maybe even return to profit. This book started out as the instruction manual for the Roulette Cracker software; a sophisticated algorithm. It still is the instruction manual but sections have been re written and now contain information which can be very useful to a roulette player with or even without the software - whether they are playing for fun or for real, in a casino or on line. The software is accessed by logging onto our web site and enrolling for one of the 3, 6, or 12 month membership options, but the book can be purchased separately. In addition to gaining some useful information about roulette without membership, buying the book allows you to learn exactly how the software works and what additional benefits you might get, this will help you make the most of your membership of Roulette Cracker. www.Roulette-Cracker.co.uk

      Higgins's We Don't Eat Our Classmates and Peter Brown's You Will Be My Friend!At the bottom of the pond, Alphonso the snapping turtle opens his mouth wide, wiggles his worm-like tongue, and waits patiently for breakfast.

      A Mouthful of Minnows
    • Auf dem Grund eines Teiches wartet Alfonso geduldig darauf, dass ihm das Frühstück ins Maul schwimmt. Seine Ringelzunge sieht aus wie ein Wurm und lockt Beutefische perfekt an. Alfonso ist eine Geierschildkröte. Doch diesmal kommt es anders: Ein Elritzenschwarm will der dicken Oma Bertha mit dem Wurm eine Geburtstagsfreude bereiten. Das lässt Alfonso frohlocken. Dann aber geschieht etwas, was sein Herz erweicht und ihn von seinem Frühstücksplan abhält – er wird zum Helden! Ein wunderbar unterhaltsames Bilderbuch, das verblüfft und beweist, dass John Hare neben textlosen Bilderbüchern auch die Klaviatur »normaler« Bilderbücher zu spielen versteht.
