Roulette prediction

I need to implement a Roulette Prediction System (Roulette Calculator). The scenario is: The player put on the system the values from roulette, and the system tip to him the best bet and the amount. The system needs to be able to tip the best bet or the possible best bets. What's the algorithm to solve that problem? I'm reading about Generic Algorithm.

I think it's possible, is a lot of systems开发者_开发知识库 on the web they do this, an example is SpinAtaque.

In roulette future results are independent of past results. If red comes up seven times in a row it does not change the fact that the probability of the next one being red is still 50/50 (ignoring the zero).

If you want a casino game where the history is relevant, take a look at Blackjack and card counting.

EDIT: If you are interested in exploiting the mechanical properties of a roulette wheel, read Fortune's Formula by William Poudstone, which includes an account of Claude Shannon's experiments in this area.

Assuming a fair wheel, the only strategy I'm aware of is timing the wheel. If you know the angular velocity of the wheel and ball, you can predict with some non-trivial edge an arc of the wheel where the ball will land.

Ed Thorpe (of Beat the Dealer fame) did this with a wearable computer that he built back in the late 50's. This assumes that you can place your bet while the wheel is already spinning (but before it begins to slow down).
