anyone ever catch a physical roulette wheel being unbalanced
So I’m sitting at a live dealer table a few weeks ago and I swear the ball was acting off. Bouncing in a weird way, hitting one section way more than randomness would explain. I know you always hear people blaming “bad runs” on rigged wheels or whatever, but this was different, almost like it was favoring three or four numbers in a cluster near zero. I started jotting results and the bias was real, at least short term.
I’ve read about physical wheel bias being a real edge in the old days, but does it actually still happen? Anyone here ever catch a wheel that wasn’t right, either online with live dealers or in-person? Curious if it’s even worth tracking or if I’m just chasing ghosts. Has anyone tracked long enough to prove a live wheel was physically off?
Saw it once at a smaller in-person casino, classic case where five numbers by the green kept popping. I logged 200 spins before staff swapped the wheel. Online, no luck spotting one but live dealers could have subtle physical quirks, just rare with all the camera angles. Fun to track if you’re patient, but expecting a big, beatable edge now feels like chasing ghosts.
