has anyone ever heard of the Eudaemonic shoe? it/they are wearable computers that predict where the ball will land.
I wouldn't want to get caught with one though....

 Posted Mar 3, 2004 by Caveman, Evil Unix Sysadmin, betting shop operative, and SuDoku addict (Its an odd mix, but someone has to do it) It sounds like a wonderful way to make money.
By getting sufficient gullible people to part with their cash for these devices.
However, I've been in situations where customers have complained that a croupier has spun the ball in the bowl in a 'different way' from normal to make them lose, and some people have gotten really upset about it.
Other people have claimed that some croupiers could make the ball land in a particular part of the table. I think that the tolerances are a bit high.
Perhaps we can get BBC Radio Solent's Paul Miller involved in this one. He spent some time working as a croupier. I'll hurl some email in his direction and see if he's interested in making any comments (mentioning no names of course!)

 Posted Mar 3, 2004 by Mu Beta I'd certainly be interested in what he's got to say.
