Have you ever wondered who the best roulette players are? Learn more about them in this week’s blog at NetBet casino.

Sir Philip Green

Some people are luckier than others in life, and that’s certainly the case with Sir Philip Green. He never needed luck at the roulette wheel, but he certainly got it without asking. The British fashion mogul owns brands such as Topshop, Topman, Wallis, Burton, and Evans. He’s also known for his gambling exploits, including winning millions on the roulette wheel.

This happened in 2004 at a London casino. Green won £2 million fair and square in December that year. And that wasn’t all. He decided his luck hadn’t run out, winning an extra £1 million before the end of the year.

Niko Tosa

Here’s a recent roulette story that’s destined for the big screen. Niko Tosa is a Croatian man who claims he learned how to beat the wheel. His proof? Several multi-million wins on roulette at casinos across Europe.

He first shocked the world of gambling by hitting a £1.3 million at the deluxe Ritz Club casino in London. The wins came spread across several nights. Many wondered how he did that, floating theories that he used cutting-edge lasers and microcomputers to predict how the wheel moves. 

Tosa refuted those claims, claiming that he uses a simple system to beat the wheel that’s still difficult to replicate. His secrets were never discovered, and he continued raking up roulette wins at many European casinos under different aliases.

Charles Wells

Charles Wells is the man who hit a winning roulette streak hitting 23 out of 30 consecutive spins in 1891 at the Monte Carlo Casino Resort. The total win was close to a million francs. He later went back to the same casino and continued his winning streak. He won around a million francs again, and according to his reports at the time, it was purely on luck.

Chris Boyd

Chris Boys is a 40-year old man who worked in the IT industry. He shocked the world when he took out his life savings and put them all on a single roulette spin at a Las vegas casino.

His bet was $220,000, and many casinos refused it for being too high. He eventually saw his bet accepted at Binion’s Horseshoe Club. He tried his luck and won, doubling his money in a crazy, yet profitable move.

Gonzalo Garcia-Pelayo

Gonzalo Garcia-Pelayo is a famous roulette player who won incredible amounts of money on the wheel. He had a sophisticated system for picking the right wheel. He found a wheel with a bit of deformity and a bias for specific numbers.

That wheel was found in a Madrid casino, where Garcia-Pelayo won over one million Euros on the roulette wheel. It wasn’t all rosy, but he continued betting on the wheel and trusting his instincts, which led to a massive return.
