Norman Leigh

He was born in London in 1928.
From 1946 to 1949 he served as military interpreter.
Later he got up himself to the hotel business of his father. In 1955 the study of the internal mechanism of the roulette began; ten years later it organized and it trained a group with which it put in practice his system. Ever since it was prevented its entrance to the French casinos has been dedicated to deepen in its other interests: the philosophy, history of the Art and, very specially, the history of France.
Book “Thirteen against the bank” - Publishing Pomaire wrote, where it is possible to be read in the cover:
An infallible system to win? whenever the casino allows him to continue playing!
An English is expelled from lost a French casino after having all his money. His son, a small boy, contemplates frightened the humiliation of the father. And this infantile image will persecute to him until it invents an infallible system to make jump the Bank of any casino. This is the verídica history of Norman Leigh and the first group with whom it put in practice his method.
The way of coming is explained simple and in detail; but also we have opportunity to know each one the members of its equipment, to share its preoccupations, to get passionate us by the adventure that means to obtain a progression, to know how they on the inside operate the defensive casinos and systems that they use to prevent that they make them jump the Bank.
Desd and the learning, and the first tests in England, until the final triumph of the group in the Blue Coast, there is nor no a single moment at which the reading is not exciting. The present time Mr. Leigh cannot enter any casino France, but, with a sense of very English humor, he has decided to put its experience to disposition whoever to use it? while they allow it!
The method used by Norman Leigh and his team of 12 players is the Inverse Labouchére.

Garcia Pelayo
The history is counted that a good day appeared to the casino of François Blanc, owner of the casino of Montercalo that nowadays has a considerable prestige, a last name Spanish Garci'a.
It seems to be that to Mr. Garci'a it liked to go to the banks to prove its system, a system that initially does not raise suspicions but that as spends the days, it can arrive to alarm to the casino.
And thus it happened in this case with the casino of Mr. François Blanc.
At the outset Mr. Garci'a was treated like any other player, but they spent the days and Garci'a always won. Blanc was impatient and was placing personal of the casino near the roulette to thus observe the bets and movements of Mr. Garci'a and, to discover its system.
He was irremediable, the normally low bets became without no reason to high sums and thus, a day after another Garci'a it returned to the casino to continue winning. Mr. Blanc, already desperate, made bring to Garci'a to his personal office.
Like anecdote, one tells that in the wall of behind the chair of Blanc there was a gold phrase that said thus: “That leaves red or black, always Blanc wins”. Already seated and talking, Blanc offered to Garci'a an important sum to him of money by the system that used and in addition with the condition of which it gave his word him that was not going to use it more.
Logically Garci'a acceptance and did not say something similar like: “Any amount is enough. In any case, if not outside by the obstacle of the table tops it could gain the sum that it wanted”. Which Blanc answered: “One does not worry, from this moment will not exist plus the tops of table for You Mr. Garci'a”. Blanc was not stupid. It did it for the simple reason that Mr. Garci'a would not hold the pressure to bet as much money and, sooner or later, would fall in the error.
To the few days Grace with another person returned. Garci'a was not less ready than Blanc. Mr. Garci'a was not who towards the bets, so that he did not put himself nervous, and the person who bet, was not put nervous either because it did not bet his money.
Of this form, Mr. Garci'a “bet” and avoided the pressures of the money. The error that Garci'a committed went to let to this person win, and he meanwhile to lose all the cattle in the tables of Chemin de Fer.
Shortly after the happened thing, Mr. Garci'a did not return to appear by the casino of Montecar it and he was not known more of him.
Years later, public was made the system by a nephew who learned to play with his uncle. A titled name was published “the fabulous history of the Pelayo” and logically it is on sale in any bookstore.

Harold S. Smith
Another famous player of the roulette was Harold Smith.
It happened at the beginning of the decade of the '60 when the great bets jumped to the fame that towards this gentleman.
One of the bets wilder than got to do was to bet a whole casino to a single turn of the wheel of the roulette. “Of such wood, such chip” is in the case of specially certain Harold.
In 1930, their father and his brother Raymond, operated games of roulette throughout the coast of California and in populations like River Nest. When, some years later, they were arrested, there was a single place to which they could escape: Reindeer, Nevada.
For those days, although the Nevada game was legal, was not developed, thus it is that the family took advantage of the moment and established the casino “Haroldo Club”. The promotional efforts were worth the trouble and the club became most famous and successful of the world.
According to Harold, the success of any game is had in the mood of the player when seating in the table of the game. For great the better ones that needs much confidence to win, this is absolutely an obligation.
The players must be able to train their minds the triumph and to very deeply implant that idea within their brain.
