The programmer has been working at a much slower rate than usual, because of his other commitments. So I’ve offered him a bonus payment for priority work, which hopefully will result in completion of various modifications. If everything goes as intended, he should be complete in around 3 weeks.
General update
I’ve been behind on work for the past 2 weeks because of various commitments. I’m aware some things are still not yet done, but I’ve almost caught up with everything. This includes new accounts for the jaa phone system, because I had to address some server issues. I still havent fully fixed them but will before the end of tomorrow. I appreciate everyone’s patience, I wont take much longer.
Hybrid and JAA phone mods
The current programmer, who has previously been very reliable, is now short of time. So some software modifications will take longer than expected. This includes for the JAA phone system and some of the Hybrid updates. If I hired another programmer, it would cause more problems than it solves because first the existing source code needs to be understood before they continue work. And they may even mess up the source code. So it is better to be patient and I’ll continue to work with this programmer as he’s normally exceptional with quality and timing. I don’t know estimates for development yet. I’m still discussing everything with him.
JAA phone system news
So far players are reporting excellent results with the phone system. Some players have said they sometimes can’t get predictions in time, because of the intentional delays between things like data input and the prediction audio. It would generally only be a problem if your wheel spins once every 45 seconds or less. The actual calculation of predictions takes only a few seconds on the server, but the whole process of data input is what takes the time. It’s an easy fix and we’ll make it so predictions are given in much less time.
Also the first part of the risk assessment is complete. The second part will probably be complete in about another week or so, then it will be available on the server.
General update
I had some unexpected business today so am behind on work. I’ll be up to date on all work before the end of tomorrow. Your patience is appreciated.
JAA phone system subscriptions
Although I changed the subscription page with the billing cycle to be $12/year instead of $12/month, some players have a cached copy of the old page in their browsers. So when they visited the page again to re-subscribe, their browser still gave them Paypal form for the monthly subscription. This hasn’t happened with every player – just players with the old page still in their browser’s cache.
Sorry for this mess, but again I’ve cancelled any monthly billing subscriptions, and refunded payments.
Check your paypal account to ensure you are billed $12 per YEAR, not month. To do this, log into Paypal and go to "Profile" > "My Money" > "Pre-approved payments". If you have a monthly billing cycle with me, cancel it. If it is annual, then you can leave it. If you need to re-subscribe, then clear your browser’s cache and go back to http://www.roulettephysics.com/subscription/ and order again. But make sure the billing is per YEAR before subscribing, otherwise the same problem will repeat.
Cammegh classic wheel testing with roulette computer
I’ve tested the Hybrid on a Cammegh classic wheel which has 3 dominant diamonds (12, 6 and 9 o’clock) and an 18mm ivorine ball, and 2.5 second rotor. The results over 166 spins are:
Basic settings only: 19.28% edge
Auto diamond targeting (moderate settings): 30.2%
Auto tuning with both diamond hit and rotor speed adjustments: 33.4% (although the rotor speeds were almost always between 2-3s/revolution)
More details about this testing are at http://www.roulettephysics.com/forum/index.php/topic,7141.0.html
All computer players should read the article as it contains important advice.
Phone system available
The jaa phone system is now available. But again to use it, you need to equipment explained in the forum knowledgebase (http://www.roulettephysics.com/forum/index.php?action=kb;area=article;cont=63). Although it is available now (for both European and American wheels), there are still these parts left to add:
1. Proper wheel rating system: This isn’t available yet but almost complete. It will tell you the wheel rating, and you’ll be able to set the acceptable rating. So you can opt to play only the most profitable wheels, or take a bit of a risk on wheels that have a lower rating but may still be profitable. Ratings that are too low will automatically be rejected.
2. Printable charts (for casinos where use of a phone at the table is illegal): This isn’t so simple and I’m still trying to find a solution. There is different technology used so visual charts would be much more complicated.
HOW TO PROCEED:
To start using JAA, you need access to the encryption server which uses an independent service. Basically you pay only cost price which is US$12/year. It is available ONLY to existing players who have purchased JAA (US$2500) as per http://www.roulettephysics.com/purchase/
To proceed, follow the instructions and subscribe via Paypal at www.roulettephysics.com/subscription/
General update
It’s been an extremely busy week and I haven’t been able to get everything needed done. Additionally it is Easter Friday and Easter Monday coming up, so I wont be working for the next four days.
The developments this week are:
HYBRID COMPUTER:
* The Hybrid can get accurate prediction if the video is much poorer quality, or the wheel is considerably further away
* Ball and green zero detections are still accurate even if the camera is shaking considerably (even deliberate and beyond reasonable shaking)
* Setup is even quicker and easier
FREE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE ROULETTE GAME
This is a side project for members of my free roulette forums. It allows multiple players to play against the same spins and chat to each other. Initially it uses RNG spins but will eventually use either live video from a real casino and/or a frequently updated database of spins from real wheels.
* The game is about 2 days from completion. It is already working but there are a few minor bugs.
JAA PHONE SYSTEM
* I haven’t had time to properly test the latest version, but will some time next week. The server is configured and ready to go. Once the latest software is installed on it and tested one last time, it will be made available.
HELP DESK SUPPORT TICKETS
Ive had some tickets forwarded to me but I simply haven’t had time to respond yet. I’m aware of them and will respond asap.
System phone update
The programmer got sidetracked doing another task I assigned, so we can expect it to be available some time next week. But to use it, you will need to have the equipment ready as per my earlier post. So getting the equipment should be your focus.
