Professors are banned at all casinos by using physical knowledge to win any game of roulette

Professor J. Doyne Farmer took advantage of his physical and mathematical knowledge to cheat at the casino. Everything went smoothly until he was banned from all casinos in Nevada.

Entering a casino, you must be prepared: this is the place of the dealer, and the dealer will always win. Specifically with one of the most famous Las Vegas casinos: Roulette game . Famous for being easy to play but this roulette game is also the hardest to win. But that was before you were "equipped" with a bit of physical knowledge.

Roulette game.

In the 1970s, J. Doyne Farmer, a mathematician, built a machine that allowed him to cheat in this roulette , and of course he was banned from all casinos in Nevada. To this day, his secret of "cheating" was revealed by one of Farmer's colleagues, physics professor Richard Muller on an internet forum.

You must understand that we do not endorse gambling nor use physics to do something illegal. It's simply Farmer's "physical fraud" skill that is too good to ignore.

Richard Muller, now a professor of physics at the University of California, answered the question "Do physicists know what they can win money at casino?" by admitting that one of his friends " cheated " on roulette with such an accurate device that they banned him from all casinos in Nevada, cheating on the rules. physics . Professor Muller's question and answer can be found on Quora.

The cheat is all thanks to the physical rules.

Professor Muller explains:

"The principle works as follows: to encourage people to bet in roulette, traditionally players will be placed after the roulette wheel is turned and the marble is released, but must complete the bet before the marbles. In 1 to 2 seconds, the information is enough for us to be able to calculate so that we can double the win rate.

If you cut half the ball and the ball will not fall on the wheel, the odds of you winning will be very high. Previously, the winning rate was only 98: 100 (you will lose) but if you exclude half of the number on the wheel, your winning rate will jump to 196: 100, you'll eat big!
You do not need to predict which marble will fall into. You only have to increase your winning rate to 3%, since "the average rate you will lose" to "the average rate you will win" ".

Muller went on to explain how his friend's device helped him win. There are two switches on both sides of his shoe, each time the ball runs out of a loop, he will use the toe to press the switch once, and press the remaining switch every time the rotation starts to run.

From the information of the two gatherings, a small computer in the pocket will calculate the drop rate of the marbles, and report back to Muller's friend with a foot-mounted system, reporting the number that should be placed. money. All calculations and deposits are within a short period of time just before the marble stops spinning.

All calculations and deposits are within a short period of time just before the marble stops spinning.

Of course, before Muller's friend could calculate the ratio, he had to use a real roulette wheel. He bought one that tested in the family car garage before deciding to go "scam".

"In casinos, they do not have the right to examine people, so it is not difficult to bring this device in. But they set the rules: they can chase any player without reason. will use this law when there is a certain youth who continues to win ". They cannot get back the lost money, but they can prevent them from continuing to lose money. And of course after that "mission" , Muller's friend was banned from the casino.

Although in Muller's answer, there is no word that Professor Farmer is the "culprit" of this fraud "mission" , but Muller's story is exactly the same as "phishing tricks." Famous by Professor Farmer.

It must be clarified to you that this is not a legend spreading online. In 2012, two researchers, Michael Small from Western Australia University and Chi Kong Tse from Hong Kong Polytechnic University, published a study of Muller's cheat device.

The two-person research team was able to perform the test again with the device that calculates the rotation rate of the rotation and the marbles. Using the same system as Professor Farmer, they record each time the ball and the revs are at certain times. They came to the conclusion that the average win rate was 18%, well above the negative rate of 2.7% that a normal door has.

Cheating to make money is really not right at all.

The study of the two Small and Chi Kong Tse has caused this cheat's father to speak up. Professor Farmer acknowledged that the method of calculating the other two researchers was very similar to the way Farmer used in the past, except that the other two used the friction of the ball with the rim of the ring as resistance. Main, while Farmer uses air resistance.

In the end, did the Farmer's "physical cheating " show a positive result? Absolutely, until the casino found out that the young man was a bit "red" than usual (18% compared to 2.7% minus), and banned him from gambling all his life. The Farmer young man obviously did not gain any money from his "conspiracy" .

"He said he almost ate enough money to pay for the roulette wheel he used to perfect his cheat device," recalls Professor Muller. Cheating to make money is really not right at all, but it is quite unfortunate for the young Farmer.
