I'd recommend switching to a dynamic postflop engine rather than trying to account for every possible situation. It can be done but will drive you mad! It can also be tricky adjusting a hard coded bot to new bet levels or a different poker site. I've seen and read all of Devlin's series - it's very impressive stuff. Unfortunately for me he is a far superior programmer and so I find it much easier to stick with win/openholdem so that I can worry more about the bot A.I. than the program structure. Good luck with your bot - if you want to discuss it then feel free to post here or send me an email. I'll be posting more on stealth soon, so keep watching. Jamie Thanks for reading :)

This is great stuff, it'll help me a lot :). So I urge you to continue this! My partner is currently doing the "AI" for the bot we're starting on, and for now he's just trying to make it emulate his own actions, given the table state and some info from poker tracker, etc.. But I'd really be interested to see something more advanced that we could possibly implement in the future. By the way, I'd recommend that you check out: http://www.codingthewheel.com/archives/how-i-built-a-working-poker-bot Coding the wheel, a blog by James Devlin.. Ever since he started on his poker bot series, people have been going crazy. :D There’s a lot of interest, trust me! :D

I don't have any experience with online roulette but I am familiar with the operation of random number generators (in particular their use in cryptography). While theoretically there may be exploitable tendencies within the random number generator, there are many problems to overcome before it is possible to exploit them. Not least is the sheer number of results you would need for analysis. I looked at the roulette raider web page and it doesn't exactly inspire confidence. You have to wonder why software developed over 2 years by a "team of highly skilled software engineers" can only be paid for by paypal to a personal email address. You've also got to question why someone would sell for $495 software which claims to be able to win you $4,179 per week... As far as software to predict real wheels, I'm sure it is possible to predict where the ball will land to a greater than random degree of accuracy. The real question is whether you can beat the house edge. That will obviously depend on factors particular to the wheel (some will be easier to predict than others) and input accuracy.
