    Further Reading about Steven Hourmouzis. .

    His Phone products are the most simplistic pieces of Junk I have ever come across, cheap Java programs (totally useless) made to look like they predict roulette when they cannot even deal with accurate timings (Java is known for this). One customer in France Paid $8,000 dollars and received a secondhand phone worth $40, some poorly made leads and after having both his products lost money over an 8 month period. He will definitely finish up going back to prison where he was imprisoned for Fraud and Scamming people previously.

    Read more about roulettecomputers.com and genuinewinner.com products and how one customer hit back.

    Avoid the VLSroulette.com. This site is a breeding ground for deception! He pretends to be his own customers and gives himself positive reviews. But if you check his videos, all his videos have Consistant ROTOR SPEEDS meaning you would never find conditions like this in the casino, The pit bosses are told to mixthe spins up, fast and slow rotors etc. This is owned By a WELL KNOWN FORMER IMPRISONED FRAUDSTER and Internet Conman unfortunately (Steven Hourmouzis) . He has done prison for lying, faking sites and reviews of not only me but everyone else in this business. his computer phone is based on free software we give away for free on this very site, so before you are tempted by his lies and fantasies of a $15,000 phone that only obtains a 26% edge, take a moment to think ..Read about his victims at http://stevenhourmouzis.com

    He writes convincingly, but so he should, he’s a very dangerous conman and the Police in Australia are well aware of his antics and illegal business competition methods.

    Remember, we see people in person and allow you to pay only a small percentage deposit, this guy does not, ask yourself why?





    What we do is wear our products on our sleeves, we sell through Ebay, so you can see our 100% Positive feedback from our users. no other Seller does this and no other sellers show a computer that can beat level wheels! Bear this mind when purchasing from a supplier!

    One competitors product ( Steven Hourmouzis ) that costs you $15,000 for is mobile phone runs the basic mathematics we give away for free on this very site! So never pay thousands for a roulette computer!

    Forums-Also avoid elaborate Forums set up by systems sellers to write fake positive reviews of their own products pretending to be customers and knocking other competition. Remember Forums are a breeding ground for deception!

    "And Ken, the 32 people wanting refunds from me is a load of bullshit. Like I said, you are posting a bunch of blatant lies. And even when there is a shred of truth, it is blatantly distorted" >> Quite EASY to lie to your customers from behind a keyboard Scammer Steve. We expected a bit more from you, quite shameful.....and RG can continue posting funny pics but in the END....still nothing playable (lol). Hey RG, perhaps BINGO is more your speed?

    STEVEN HOURMOUZIS is simply a crook, a thief and a liar and will refuse you any 100% Payment protection Plan on your payment for his rubbish, so you would NEVER be able to obtain a refund if you wanted one. He has recently been reported to the FBI and a court action through the Federal Courts was the only way one recent Victim was able to get All his money back for Hourmouzis’s Worthless Systems. This is very recent and anyone wanting to Join in a Class Law suite against Hourmouzis is invited to do so. The Courts found all his business addresses to be Bogus and he claimed himself he was Destitute. Further investigation found around $50,000 Australian Dollars in a bank account which is the proceeds from his scam on-line. Here is the Document with the official Reference number for you to check yourself.

    [​IMG]



    Ask if he will place his products on eBay with a 100% refundable Money Back Guarantee for you to purchase?, take screen shots if he does( he has declined other buyers every time they have asked), and ask if its OK to pay using Paypal. HE will POINT BLANK REFUSE YOU! Because he knows once you have laid out several thousand dollars you will find that the guy is actually a scam artist and his products simply do not work like he claims.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT NONSENSE ON THIS THREAD
    ---------------------------------------------------------

    “Competitors” and people who’ve been banned from my roulette forums publish blatant false claims about me (Steven Hourmouzis), the Roulette System and my Roulette Computers. The manipulation is extremely broad and elaborate, so I won’t waste time exposing every false claim. I don't need to anyway if you consider the below:

    SIMPLE WAYS TO FIND THE TRUTH:

    1. Get a FREE trial roulette computer to test at home: [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]

    2. See a demonstration of my roulette computer on any wheel you want: [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]

    3. Get my best roulette computer for FREE, and pay with winnings: [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]

    4. Test my roulette system for 5-days for just $1: [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]

    5. Review the public and independent test results: [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]

    6. See recordings of public demonstrations I conducted: [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]
    See a +120% edge on Mk7 John Huxley wheel (current model): [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own commercial videos which violated our rules.]

    Proof doesn't get any clearer than this. If things like testing it yourself aren't enough for you, or paying only from winnings, nothing will be. Alternatively, you can waste time researching the manipulative nonsense about me, but you'll waste days and still not know what to believe, because anyone can make any false claim. The site [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.] addresses the main false allegations.

    **************************************
    I apologize for this forum being spammed by someone to discredit me, without honesty or integrity. This kind of behavior should not be permitted by admin. But as it is, I've posted my response. I am not interested in arguing with anyone about it, nor do I have time. Anyone can just do their own research. I am also not here to discuss anything or answer questions. If you have questions about my roulette prediction technology, contact me via my websites. But don't waste my time asking about the negative nonsense on this thread. If you want to know more about nonsense, it's all explained at [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]

    This free advertisement is brought to you by:
    Ken/Mr J: [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]
    **************************************

    Mr J (Ken)

    “Mr J” (“Ken”) is an ex-member of my roulette forum. He was banned for poor behavior towards other members. As revenge for banning him, he seeks to harm me by “re-posting” nonsense about me from Mark Howe’s websites. He does not care that the material is nonsense. Ken is one of a few banned member who attack me for “revenge”.

    Why Ken Was Banned
    Basically, Ken creates conflict and is unwelcome at every forum – not just my forums. For example, he attacked others calling them “rookies”, while privately telling me he continued to lose at roulette. He quite clearly has a gambling problem. That’s his business, but as a forum admin, I could see both sides where he taunted others for losing, but was losing himself. Essentially he was lying and “trolling” while claiming other people were the problem.

    At one stage, Ken was a forum moderator and almost a friend. But he had personal problems leading to obsessive and unstable behavior which became worse after some personal problems he was having. My attempts to help him failed, and his behavior towards other members became worse.

    Eventually I discovered he was secretly moderating large sections of the forum to help him win arguments with other members. So I removed him as a moderator, and allowed him to hide the real reason he was removed.

    Later he returned to the forum, but he never contributed anything. He simply aggravated other members, then complained when they responded. The conflict reached a point where I openly asked other members if they think anyone should be banned. And before I even mentioned what other members said, Ken began attacking me and calling me various names – presumably because he was expecting to be banned. So as a matter of respect, I asked him to not post at my forum again. He ignored my request, and was banned.

    Now for “revenge”, he cuts and pastes sections from Mark Howe’s websites in attempt to discredit me. His motives are purely malicious, and he does not care that the material he posts is full of blatant lies.

    It’s not just me he attacks. His frustration and hatred is extremely intense. One example is he said he hated one member so much that he “so badly wished they died in a car crash”. There are many other examples, but the information here is sufficient to understand his motives. Unfortunately Ken has a lot of personal problems, and he takes his problems out on other people.

    Frequently Asked Questions about False Allegations

    Anyone can make any claim about anyone, and some people would assume there might be some truth to it – no matter how ridiculous the claim is. In my case, much of the false claims are complete fabrications. This section addresses some of them.


    Q. Is it true you are on government unemployment benefits (Centerlink)?

    No. This is a blatant lie without any truth. I have never been on unemployment benefits.


    Q. Is it true the FBI are chasing you?

    No, it’s another blatant lie.


    Q. Is it true you are broke and living with your parents next to a homeless hostel?

    No, I’m a middle-aged man that hasn’t lived with parents for 30 years.


    Q. Is it true you were “sued” for theft?

    No. Simply a purchaser of my roulette system didn’t read the download instructions I emailed, and sent me abusive emails. I asked him to stop using foul language, or hire a civil mediator which would resolve issues with me – without the immature behavior. He chose to hire the mediator, to which I explained he never even accessed my system, and I agreed to a refund. The matter was simple and it is explained in detail at [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.] but the truth has been deliberately twisted.


    Q. Is it true that 32 people are waiting for refunds from you?

    No. “32” is an arbitrary number that Mark Howe made up. There’s no truth to it.


    Q. Why do you sell your systems and computers if they worked?

    It is explained in detail on my sites. I sell my less effective systems, and keep the best technology to myself. My private teams use my best technology and pay me only after they beat wheels. Details are at [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]


    Q. Is it true you went to jail for fraud?

    I basically went to jail for claiming a stock will increase price by about 900%. The government investigators believed my claims were deliberately false to make people buy the stock. But after my sentence, my prediction was proven correct and the stock price increased by 1500% – nearly twice my prediction. I did not defraud anyone. I did not lie. And anyone who took my advice to buy the stock would have profited. But my attackers want you to believe I went to jail for cheating people. Not even the media got the story right because they just recited government prosecutors. But the full story is at [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]


    Q. How am I supposed to trust you with money with so much rubbish written about you?

    It’s not hard to figure out. When someone wants to discredit you, they’ll say anything with extreme bias. Anyone can test my computers for free, or see a private demonstration. I also give a 5-day free trial of my roulette system. There’s lots of proof of my claims, and ways for you to see I’m honest. If you prefer to believe rubbish instead of finding out for yourself, without any risk, then I’d rather not deal with you anyway.


    Q. Is it true you hire actors and use magnets in your public demonstrations?

    No, my public demos are open for anyone to attend. And anyone can inspect the wheel for tampering, or even spin it themselves.


    Q. Is it true a private investigator revealed you had no money?

    No. Mark Howe referred Vince Brandt to a so-called private investigator on Craigslist.com. The investigator was in fact Mark Howe himself, who told Vince blatant lies about my personal wealth. On Mark’s website, he publishes this letter and claims it’s from a private investigator. But he neglects to tell you he wrote the letter himself, and it’s complete nonsense.


    Q. Is it true your wife said you were broke and forced to use money won in a competition to fix your house?

    No. After making it clear she was financially comfortable and could afford to “work whenever she felt like it”, she mentioned I won a $10,000 prize, and that is was used to develop a property we were about to rent to tenants. Mark’s interpretation is quite different.


    Q. Is it true you have only cheap cars?

    The claim was made by Mark Howe, but he doesn’t mention what cars I drive because he has no idea. I could tell you I drive a Lamborghini. But the fact is I have two middle-range cars. While I can easily afford expensive vehicles, it’s not the type of person I am. I have no interest in sports or luxury vehicles.


    Q. Is it true a court revealed you only had $50,000 in assets, and it was all from scamming people?

    No, it’s another ridiculous claim from Mark Howe. It also contradicts his earlier claims of me being broke, and he often contradicts himself. This claim came from a video I created where I used a money-counting machine to count $50,000 in cash. The video is still on my website. I created the video, regrettably, to make fun of a video where Mark Howe counted a fraction of this amount. Since making the video, I’ve grown up. At first, Mark claimed the money/notes were photocopied. But he later changed his claim to the cash coming from me cheating people. Is $50,000 all I have? No. I could have counted far more, but withdrawing large cash amounts from banks causes a lot of hassle and suspicion. And anyone with significant wealth knows having this much liquid funds (not properly invested) is a waste of money – (unless you’re in a position where it doesn’t matter).


    Q. Is it true that the person (Ronjo) who did independent testing of your roulette computer was actually you using a fake name?

    No. I didn’t choose the tester. The members of the roulette community chose him because he was well known and trusted to be independent.


    Q. What about the testimonials from your customers published on Mark Howe’s site?

    Firstly, I have over 1,000 players and a few are bound to not understand what they’ve purchased. No product ever has a 100% satisfaction rate. Approximately 95% of my players are happy with the system and agree it works as I claim. But you almost never hear from successful because they respect and adhere to the non-disclosure agreements. The players you do hear from are the unhappy ones who haven’t succeeded.

    Some of the negative testimonials on Mark Howe’s website are genuine, some are complete fabrications and the people don’t even exist, and some have had their statements blatantly modified. Of the players and statements that are legitimate, you’ll find their claims don’t have a foundation. For example, a claim that the system “doesn’t work” or “is a scam” is an empty claim without justification. Even Mark Howe acknowledges less effective techniques I teach for free, like visual ballistic work (unless you tell him it’s a technique I teach). His extreme negative bias is not difficult to see.

    My roulette system applies the same principles as traditional and proven techniques, that even Mark Howe acknowledges are effective. But my system takes the approaches further with a better analysis and modelling method, to find and exploit predictable spins. So why would he attack a method he knows works? The answer should be obvious.

    Nevertheless, some players don’t succeed, with the main reasons being:

    * Laziness: as I say on my sites, my approaches require time and patience. Many people expect to win without time and effort.

    * Poor communication and English skills: Almost every person who has “complained” has poor comprehension of English. And such players often struggle with simple concepts. The instructions I provide are translated, but the translations are not perfect. I still provide all required support, but often simple concepts are not understood.

    And when a player doesn’t succeed, naturally they find it easier to blame me and the system, instead of themselves for incorrect application of the system. Then they may search for my name and “scam” and find Mark Howe’s website, then send Mark their complaint. And again, you’ll find the complaints are empty and unsubstantiated claims. Any specific claims are very easily proven false – if you care to investigate. For example, Tony Duhamel’s (Bago) false claims that my computers produce random predictions. You only need to see my public demo videos with a +120% edge to see the claim is ridiculous (unless you believe the nonsense claiming I use magnets and paid actors). Or to consider the public testing by Ronjo. Any false claim is easily proven false, if you care to properly research.

    --------------------------------------------------------
    FALSE CLAIMS ABOUT THE "VCAT" CASE INVOLVING
    STEVEN HOURMOUZIS & VINCE BRANDT
    --------------------------------------------------------

    This is regarding a legal case referred to by Mark Howe on his various websites. Mark Howe makes blatantly false claims about the case to discredit me (Steven Hourmouzis). Vince Brandt is a roulette system purchaser. Contrary to Mark’s false claims, Vince’s legal claim had NOTHING to do with the effectiveness of my system. Vince simply didn’t understand instructions to access my system’s software, so absurdly claimed it didn’t exist.

    For almost a month after being given access to my software, he didn’t contact me so I assumed he had no problems. Then he began sending me abusive emails claiming he didn’t understand the instructions. So I asked him to stop sending abusive emails and call me to resolve the issue, OR to hire a mediator. He continued to send abusive emails and refused to call me, so I insisted he hired a mediator which he eventually did.

    Vince’s claims to the mediator were broad and absurd, including reimbursement for services he did not provide receipts for, and enormous fees for his “self-representation”. His only relevant claim was that he paid me for software that “does not exist”. His only proof of anything was a receipt for payment made to me.

    I provided the mediation member with:

    * Login access and instructions for my software

    * Statements and contact details of players that use the software (with their permission)

    * Copies of all emails between Vince and myself

    The mediation member clearly saw Vince’s claims were nonsense. Fortunately for Vince I was honest and explained to the mediator that Vince hadn’t actually used the software yet, and I could cancel his access anytime. So I agreed to give him a refund and considered the matter resolved. The result was formally released as a judgement, and this is what Mark Howe publishes on his website as if it were proof my technology is ineffective.

    Vince didn’t accept almost all of his claims being rejected, so he initiated other precedings that failed. Shown below is the result of the latest case. I did not attend this hearing because his claims were so outrageous that I was sure his case would be rejected, which it was.

    [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]


    So all that happened was:

    1. Vince didn’t understand the software download instructions, and sent me abusive emails.

    2. I asked Vince to call me personally so I can offer support, but to not send me abusive emails OR I will only communicate with him via a mediator (VCAT)

    3. Vince ignored my request. He did not call me for help, and continued to send abusive emails.

    4. I asked Vince to hire the VCAT mediator, which he did.

    5. In mediation, Vince was forced to speak without abuse. I explained to the mediator that Vince had not accessed the software yet, and I agreed to provide a refund.

    6. The result of the case was released via a letter, and Mark published the letter and lied about what actually happened.

    7. All other claims by Vince were rejected, so he attempted another case. I did not even bother to attend the hearing because I knew he had no grounds for his claims, and that his case would fail, as it did.

    Vince now appears obsessed with trying to harm me. He has made threats against myself and my extended family members, and even my two of my accountants that have nothing to do with this.



    Mark's False Claims About This Matter

    Mark Howe published his own version of these matters. Below are a few points:


    Mark’s false claim: The FBI were involved, and it was a federal case in a court of law.

    The truth: It was nothing even remotely “federal”. It was a civil mediator I asked Vince to hire because I wouldn’t tolerate his unjustified abuse, and knew he’d behave himself with a mediator. Read the correspondence between Vince and I below on this page.



    Mark’s false claim: The courts found my business address to be falsified

    The truth: Complete nonsense. My company address is publicly available in the ASIC database, and this is how I was notified about the hearing.



    Mark’s false claim: A private investigator found that I was homeless and destitute with no money, and that in the hearing I was forced to admit this. I apparently told Vince I wouldn’t refund Vince even if I could afford it. And that the police seized some of my money from roulette scams.

    The truth: There is not a shred of truth to this claim.



    Mark’s false claim: My wife was included in the claim and was liable to pay half.

    The truth: The document Mark published clearly states the “second respondent”, which is my corporation. The tribunal member specifically stated Vince had no valid claims against my wife or myself. My wife didn’t attend the hearing.



    Mark’s false claim: He is leading a case of 50 people I apparently scammed

    The truth: Mark has claimed this for many years but out of over 1,000 players I have had over the years, less than 10 have ever had a problem with my technology (through their own misunderstandings). Nevertheless, if such a “class action” occurred, many of my successful players would appreciate the opportunity to provide testimonies for both my non-electronic system and roulette computers, and I would gladly demonstrate my technology to any authority.




    Correspondence Between Vince Brandt and Myself

    The majority of emails from Vince contain vile threats of violence against my family and I, and foul language. It is not necessary to provide them all. Below are the most relevant emails between us so you can better understand why I insisted he hired a mediator. Pay particular attention to the dates as Vince sent numerous emails on the same days.


    ——————— 12th March 2013:

    From: Vince
    To: Me

    I sent in the payment but havent heard anything yet. Can you let me know how I get access to the software.

    NOTE: At this point, Vince sent payment but it had not yet arrived.

    Vince, after the unjustified abuse you’ve hurled at me, I would normally say I’m not dealing with you further and I’ll only communicate with you via a mediator. It is within my legal and moral rights to do this because nobody should take such abuse and threats. However, I’m asking that you call me and speak to me like a grown-up man. For my contact details, see [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.] – this page also has details on the best times to call, my local time, when I’m available etc. Also see my blog for my schedule.

    NOTE: When you are in contact with literally thousands of people, it is expected that sooner or later you’ll meet someone who is needlessly abusive. Nevertheless, I wanted to speak with Vince personally so he could hear my voice and understand I’m sincerely trying to help him, and there is no need for his behaviour.

    There was no further communication, and I waited to hear from the mediator (VCAT). Vince’s abuse continued for months and he is still attempting to take me to court with absurd claims that keep getting rejected.

    MARK HOWE'S FALSE CLAIMS ABOUT STEVEN HOURMOUZIS
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Mark Howe is a profoundly manipulative ‘competitor’ who’s responsible for 95% of the false claims about me. Generally he uses a combination of elaborate fabricated information (documents and emails) mixed with a blatant distortion of facts. He posts under many fake names on different websites and forums, usually pretending to be my players.

    His manipulation is actually quite clumsy, but he doesn’t expect you’ll do even basic research that easily reveals his manipulation. Some of his lies are quite wild. For example, claims like I’m broke and living with my parents next to a homeless hostel, on welfare, all while the FBI is chasing me. Even to explain the positive results in my public demonstrations, he claims I used magnets and paid actors to behave amazed. Such claims have no truth to them whatsoever, and you’d need to be gullible to believe him.

    His claims have changed over the years, and he has had ample time to selectively modify his material, all to make you buy his products instead of mine. Nevertheless, I’m not interested in attacking or harming Mark, but considering everything he has said and done over the years, I believe he is literally mentally ill. You’ll need to do proper research to understand why I and many others believe this. I don’t have time to address all of his nonsense, so this page addresses only the most relevant claims.

    To better understand the type of person Mark is, also see [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    False Claim 1: Mark Claims I was “sued” by a player for “theft”
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Mark publishes official documents regarding a civil mediator case with Vince Brandt (details at [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.] ), but he blatantly lies about what the documents represent. He wants you to believe I was sued for “theft”, that the FBI was involved, and even that investigators determined I was financially broke. The truth is much simpler.

    Basically the player (Vince Brandt) did not understand my software’s download instructions, so he sent me vile threats and abuse. I asked him to stop his unjustified abuse and call me personally so I could help him, OR hire an impartial mediator so I could discuss the matter without his vile threats. Vince chose to hire a mediator, which is VCAT (a civil mediator service).

    The mediator clearly saw I did nothing wrong. In the end, I explained to the mediator that Vince had not used my software. So it was agreed I would provide Vince with a refund. The result was put “on paper”, and this is what Mark has published as if it were some enormous revelation or proof that I’m running a scam. In fact if I were dishonest, I wouldn’t have explained to the mediator that Vince never even used my software.

    Vince made various claims that were rejected by the mediator, so he attempted to start another hearing which I didn’t even bother to attend, because his claims had no foundation. And rightfully the mediator also found they had no foundation. See the result in the below image. That’s all there is to it. But of course Mark’s “version” is rather “twisted”.

    [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]


    The “Official-looking Documents” on Mark Howe's website

    Mark publishes a few other documents that look official. Copies are below with my comments:

    a. Email from Mark Howe (using fake name) to Vince Brandt: Mark referred Vince to a “private investigator” on Craigslist. In fact the “private investigator” was Mark himself, and this is what he sent to Vince:

    [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]

    MY COMMENTS: These are the same rubbish claims Mark has made for years. There’s absolutely no truth at all to them. Mark initially claimed on his website that he hired a private investigator who found I was broke and living with my parents next to a homeless hostel. If you don’t believe he made these claims, I will gladly send you copies of his original websites. And if you really believe this utter nonsense, then God help you. Mark’s claims over the years have been absurd and wild. I have no doubt he has very real mental health issues. I’m not saying this to criticize him. I mean literally, he appears to have serious personal issues.


    b. Vince’s Email To VCAT

    Below is Vince’s email to VCAT (the area in the red box).

    [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]

    MY COMMENTS: Vince acted as if it was matter of national security. Do you really believe he spent the entire day on the phone with the US Embassy speaking with a Congressman? Do you really believe the FBI would be interested in a civil mediation case that has no relevance to criminal law? I’m the one who asked Vince to hire VCAT because he refused to stop swearing and threatening me. And why did he did this? Because he didn’t understand basic instructions. His emails are all here for you to read.

    The thing that’s “official-looking” about it is it’s marked “URGENT”. Unfortunately I meet some strange characters, and Vince appeared delusional about many things. It was only by my honesty in the VCAT hearing that he received a refund, because he never actually used my system’s software. But even after the hearing, he started other cases which were rejected without me even attending the hearing. See the document of his rejected hearing.


    c. Vince’s email to the Australian Embassy in the USA

    [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]

    MY COMMENTS: Vince may as well emailed the President too. Remember that Vince’s claim was NOT that my roulette system didn’t work. His claim was that it “didn’t exist”. Why? Because he didn’t properly read the instructions. I even emailed him the LOGIN details and web address. I even showed them in the VCAT hearing and insisted we log in to show Vince had no idea. Vince also refers to the Rentech case (explained at [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.] ) which he has no idea about. As for his claims about TV shows, I insisted to Vince that he have the TV show producers to contact me so I can publicly demonstrate my roulette systems and computers. It would have been a fantastic opportunity to prove a point. I often do public demonstrations, but unfortunately not yet on live TV.


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    False Claim 2: Mark claims I cheat in my video demonstrations by spinning the ball and wheel at consistent speeds.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Mark has made countless ever-changing claims to explain the accuracy I demonstrate in my videos. For the public demonstration, he claims I paid actors to attend, and used magnets. But most often he criticises is the 1hr demo shown below. Specifically he claims that I intentionally spin the ball and wheel at the same speed. He shows screenshots of the video that suit his claim. But shown below is a chart displaying the number of ball revolutions for each spin in the entire video. You can see there is a substantial variation in the number of times the ball goes around before falling. The variation is a large spread between 7 – 18 revolutions which is much greater than most dealers. Check the entire video below for yourself:

    [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own commercial videos which violated our rules.]

    Chart: The variation of ball revolutions and spin speeds in my 1hr video demo. This clearly established the spin speed variation is even greater than on actual casino wheels.

    [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    False Claim 3: Mark claims that I have a fraud conviction
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is not a false claim, but more something he uses to his advantage. It has no bearing on my roulette technology, but it calls to question my integrity. This case is explained in detail at [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]

    Basically around 20 years ago, I was a stock promoter and misunderstood a public company’s press release. I published my misunderstanding and was changed with reckless dissemination of incorrect information. It was not some global malicious scam as Mark Howe portrays. The link above provide full details.


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    False Claim 4: Various players of mine contacted him to complain about my computer or system
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Some of the players Mark published information about actually exist, and some are completely fabricated. Of the players that do exist, most have since apologized to me for their misunderstandings, yet their initial inaccurate claims remain on Mr Howe’s websites. Every negative claim from real players has been addressed in detail, because there is nothing to hide. In fact when a player wants to complain, I permit them to openly criticise me on my forums. This is so I may respond in detail to demonstrate the player has misunderstandings. The most notable player who published unjustified claims is Bago (Tony Duhamel), and various public validations already refuted his claims. Every business has at least some dissatisfied customers no matter how good their product is. After all, not everyone understands what they’ve purchased. But sellers only publish the positive feedback.

    I prefer to be open, so below I’ve also included the negative feedback I’ve received, and what I’ve done to correct issues:


    Negative Feedback #1: I teach only bits of the system and keep the secrets too close to my chest

    Years ago I provided my system in parts. Specifically players first received the “primordials” document which taught basic methods. If the player could beat their wheels with these methods, that’s all I taught them because that’s all they needed. I only taught players more powerful methods when needed. Often players sent me spins for analysis, and I would use my software to generate the betting charts for them. This way the secrets were never released. The main downside was the players didn’t have immediate access to the most advanced methods, and they had to wait for me to do the analysis and betting charts for them.

    How issues were fixed: Now players have access to the software themselves via [Admin Edit (Nov 3, 2016): Removed URL to members' own site which violated our rules.]. It is capable of automatically analyzing spins and generating the betting charts so the player doesn’t ever need to know exactly how the system works. Considering the average analysis takes 30 seconds of computer processing and performs billions of calculations, it is unlikely to ever be reverse engineered. So all players now have access to advanced methods, and secrets are well protected.


    Negative feedback #2: The system takes too long to apply

    The only players that said this are accustomed to systems like where you wait for 10 reds in a row then bet on black. I do teach you methods that can be applied from start to finish in 1-2 hours, but the most advanced methods require more. The advanced methods require 100-300 spins per direction to analyze a wheel’s patterns. This is usually needed only once for each wheel, and it can be done over multiple days. Then you resume play each day after checking 10-20 spins at the start of each day. This is not at unreasonable. Something unreasonable is working 9-5 for 50 years to pay off a life-long mortgage, then retiring on a pension.

    How issues were fixed: My site clearly explains what is required. You can use the quicker methods I also teach you, but the downside is fewer wheels are suitable. The quicker methods are suitable only for about 5-10% of wheels and achieve a small edge. The most powerful methods are suitable for about 30% of modern wheels, achieve a much higher edge, and are much easier to apply.


    Negative feedback #3: I can’t find enough suitable wheels

    As explained above, many years ago I initially taught players only traditional and basic methods to beat roulette. Players were only taught more advanced methods when “needed”. The basic methods were naturally not as suitable for as many wheels as the advanced methods. But some players assumed that the initial basic methods were all they received. Players that never bothered to get proper support never knew about additional methods I taught. Perhaps I could have explained this better, but it was still always the player’s responsibility to keep me informed on their progress so I knew what they “need”.

    How issues were fixed: The basic methods are still taught to the players in the primordials document, but they are generally considered more as an introduction to professional methods. They are suitable for roughly 5-10% of wheels whereas approximately 30% of wheels are suitable for my full system, plus the full system is easier to use and achieves a much higher edge. But still if a player can only visit one casino, and that casino has only 1 wheel, then they may find even the full system unsuitable. The player would still have the option of playing at online casinos where we know well the wheels are suitable, or travelling to find more suitable wheels.


    Negative feedback #4: The system “doesn’t work”

    Saying the system “doesn’t work” is an empty claim without supporting information. No gambling professional would ever say my methods “don’t work”. The only people that have ever said this are either other gambling system sellers and people who believed them, people with ulterior motives, or inexperienced players that find it easier to blame others than themselves.

    The first document I send players (primordials document) contains all the traditional and globally recognized techniques to beat roulette. The casinos call the traditional professional roulette systems “advantage play”. No professional would deny they are effective. If you ask a professional if visual ballistics or bias analysis works, they’ll tell you “yes”. But if you mention they are methods taught by me, the answer will be different.

    I consider these methods to be comparatively old and impractical methods. My full system is many steps beyond the traditional advantage play methods, but it is still based around the same solid principles of physics. As other system sellers don’t understand anything but traditional methods (if that at all), they may say my methods look like “voodoo”.

    How issues were fixed: No honest person that knew what they were saying would ever say my system “doesn’t work”. Again the only people that say it doesn’t work are either other system sellers and people that believe them, people with ulterior motives, or players that have a very poor understanding of what I teach. Remember a bad tradesman blames his tools. There is no remedy for this although I always strive to help players understand my techniques, and the auto analysis software is as foolproof as it can be.

    If you carefully consider what is being said by real players, you’ll see there is nothing of real substance. Many of the “legitimate” players he mentions have since apologized to me as they come to understand they did not apply my system correctly, but Mr Howe refuses to amend his material. Again the most notable player who published unjustified claims is Bago (Tony Duhamel), and various public validations already refuted his claims. See the public testing that refuted Tony Duhamel’s false claims.


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    False Claim 5: Fabrication Of Player Statements:
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Mr Howe has completely fabricated many players that don’t exist. But he more recently fabricates statements from actual players. For example, he published the following statement from a player. The player is real, but the statement is completely false: ” I would like you to help me and my family, I have asked Stefano for a refund several times, but he says I do not know how to use system properly. At his site he says he gives guaranteed refund of $100,000 if his system does not work. I just want my $2000 back for my poor family to feed them. Please send this proof to the correct authorities to deal with this criminal and get me monies back please.” Importantly this player has since apologized to me and acknowledged their error. And when I asked him if he actually made this statement, he responded:

    Quote
    “I never wrote that, there says that I need the money to feed my POOR family, I never said that to that guy. I never said this, I dont understand”

    Since SteveH has blatantly lied and falsely accused us of being behind a previous personal attack against him to try to discredit the accuser and the accusations levied against him, it is our responsibility to this community to advise all readers that SteveH's words carry zero credibility in this community. We don't say that lightly, so we will detail why below to serve as a deterrent against any other folks who think they can take advantage of and abuse our uncensored nature and lenient, hands-off administration of this community for their own personal gain.

    For those who do not know, when new member iHeartRoulette (who claimed to be a previous customer of SteveH's) created a thread to disparage him, SteveH immediately went on the defensive making numerous verbose posts that violated our rules with links to his commercial sites and videos and bombarded our users with posts containing over 10,000 words, presumably to overload readers with (mis)information to the point where they would give up on the thread, and to overload us with work to the point where we would simply remove the thread (which didn't happen). This strategy of his became evident in his post here:

    In other words, SteveH was being as disruptive as possible in the hope that we would remove (e.g. censor) the entire thread created by another member to attack him.

    When his defensive "overload" strategy failed, SteveH went on the offensive.

    He first accused iHeartRoulette of being a competitor by the name of Ioannis Kavouras / Kavouras (Kav) / Angelo Attoni to attempt to discredit his accuser and their accusations:

    He double-downed on iHeartRoulette being a competitor to further discredit him:

    He tripled-downed on iHeartRoulette being a competitor to continue to discredit him:

    To further sow doubt in the mind of readers (e.g. potential customers), SteveH claimed we were biased against him because his posts were being caught by our automated spam filter since they contained so many URLs, URLs which violated our rules since they linked to his commercial sites, but that we nonetheless manually approved and allowed (without the active link) for him to be able to defend himself fully since he was being attacked so viciously. Note that we had every right to simply remove his entire posts that violated our Link Policy, yet not only did we allow his posts, we also allowed the URLs to his commercial sites despite them violating our rules. We never banned SteveH nor deleted any of his posts despite his repeated rule violations, to the point where we were accused by longer term members of being too lenient on SteveH and allowing him free advertising by letting him essentially post his entire commercial web pages and videos in the thread:

    SteveH freely admitted this:

    In fact, this had some long-term members believing iHeartRoulete was -- in fact -- SteveH creating an opportunity for him to defend (i.e. advertise) himself and his products and services:

    When SteveH pointed out that iHeartRoulette had linked to one commercial site in one of his posts, we treated iHeartRoulette the exact same way and delinked it:

    SteveH replied "very well" for the fairness we were displaying and told us to check our private messages:

    In those private messages and behind the scenes, SteveH was working on a very different strategy to deal with the attacks against him.

    First, SteveH reminded us that we had syndicated content from his forum here via RSS in a not-so-subtle way of telling us that he allowed us to do that, so we should remove the thread by iHeartRoulette that was attacking him. We ignored it because we don't play games and we weren't going to be manipulated into censoring our members.

    When we ignored his 1st private message, SteveH sent us a 2nd private message linking to the thread attacking him and asking us if we were going to remove it. We ignored that too for the same reason.

    When we ignored his 2nd private message, SteveH sent us a 3rd private message asking if we were reading his private messages or if we were ignoring them. We ignored that too for the same reason.

    When we ignored his 3rd private message, SteveH sent us a 4th private message accusing us of biased and censored moderation (despite him having publicly said "very well" to the equal treatment of iHeartRoulette's URLs) and then had the gall to ask us if we would sell him our site for a low-ball offer he called "generous". We obviously ignored that too. His desperation had become clear to us: he was trying to do anything he could to censor the thread attacking him, including spending thousands of dollars if needed. We had sympathy for him because he was being attacked so viciously, which is why we had given him extra leeway in his posts and been lenient with him, but we weren't going to deal with the matter in private as we don't generally involve ourselves in altercations between members, and certainly wouldn't sell our site to someone behaving in complete contrast to our founding principles of "Independent. Comprehensive. Uncensored.".

    When we ignored his 4th private message with an offer, SteveH sent us a 5th and final private message with a higher offer to purchase our site. That's how desperate he was to remove the attacks against him. We ignored that private message too.

    It was after SteveH failed to illicit a reaction from us with his 5 desperate private messages to us (and 2 desperate offers) that he then decided to completely change strategy and go for a last-ditch scorched-earth approach by publicly involving us in his altercation with iHeartRoulette by falsely accusing us of being iHeartRoulette without any evidence whatsoever to try to change and derail the topic from being about him, to being about us:
    Notice how he says he "read the claims". Those "claims" are the baseless accusations started by a single member (Don'tLookNow) hiding behind a proxy that posted it here. Neither Don'tLookNow nor SteveH ever provided any evidence that this Michael Rodrigues person has any relation to this site and they won't since that person is not related to this site in any way, shape, or form. Who is this Don'tLookNow member whose claim SteveH so quickly ran with as part of his desperate last-ditch scorched-earth effort? See this thread where Don'tLookNow openly admits to having multiple accounts and where we discovered he was connecting behind a proxy. So let's recap: SteveH went desperately scavenging our site for anything he could tie to us, and when he discovered an unfounded lie from a member with zero credibility, he ran with it to derail any discussion about himself, and then spiced it up by adding that we were iHeartRoulette, the ones who had started the thread attacking him.

    We aren't stupid, it was obvious what he was trying to do: he was trying to create a bigger "story" to bury the one about him. We had given him the benefit of the doubt up until that very moment, but not any more as we knew for a fact that he was lying on both counts, so we immediately moved his off-topic posts to the off-topic section as we had done with hundreds of other off-topic posts that could derail threads, although this was the most obvious, direct, and desperate attempt we've seen so far.

    That entire off-topic discussion with his completely false accusations that we are a guy named "Michael" from Florida who ran baccaratforums.com and are behind the iHeartRoulette account disparaging him can be read here and we encourage everyone to read it to see how desperate SteveH got to try and censor the thread attacking him by trying to throw us -- the same folks that had shown him leniency time and time again and given him an uncensored platform to defend himself against attacks instead of deleting his posts and banning him for repeatedly violating our commercial link policy -- under the bus without evidence.

    For those that don't wish to read the entire off-topic exchange, let us summarize it for you.

    With respect to us being this "Michael" person, SteveH said:
    Yet he provided zero evidence because none exists since we aren't that person and that person has no affiliation with this site. Furthermore, he will never post any of that "evidence" he supposedly dug up because he can't since it doesn't exist. He was just outright lying in the most dishonest way possible.

    It gets worse.

    When we pressed him for evidence about us being behind the iHeartRoulette account that was attacking him (knowing full well that he wouldn't have any), SteveH openly admitted to maliciously harvesting the private IP addresses of everyone who had viewed the content in his posts (side note: we have since plugged that vulnerability), and then posted a list of those IP addresses as "evidence":

    Of course, anyone who has even a modicum of IT knowledge knows that a list of IP addresses from viewers of posts doesn't tell you anything other than the IP addresses of those who may have viewed content (but not created it) particularly since not all posts display when they are created (e.g. if they get auto-moderated and need to be manually approved like his and iHeartRoulette's were since they were new members). To be absolutely clear, the only ones who have the IP addresses behind the posts created in this community is us. What SteveH was trying to do is take advantage of those readers without IT knowledge (e.g. the majority of folks) by claiming he had obtained the IP information of the post creators by maliciously harvesting the IP addresses of viewers that had opened content in his posts, when he in fact did not. Harvesting IP addresses from viewers of content is completely different to knowing which IP addresses created the posts, something only we know and that SteveH (or anyone else) has no way of knowing.

    SteveH is clearly not stupid, so he would know he doesn't have actual evidence to any of his false accusations against us. Yet when we pointed this out to him, instead of admitting he was wrong about us being "Michael" and iHeartRoulette, SteveH did what it seems SteveH always does, he doubled down on his lies and attacks, had a mysterious new member named "miles" connecting via a proxy to back him up, and then made his final and most desperate attempt yet by literally trying to extort us: he created a page on his site (which you can view here: http://www.genuinewinnerroulettesystem.com/michael-emilio-rodriguez/) with all his false accusations about us (e.g. we are "Michael", we are iHeartRoulette, we are his "competitor" with an agenda out to get him, etc.), and then shamelessly told us he would remove it when we removed the thread here from iHeartRoulette attacking him:

    In other words, SteveH tried to start his own "birther" movement to discredit the attacks against him. SteveH found a post by an anonymous user behind a proxy claiming we were someone we are not and ran with it, set so-called "traps" in his posts to maliciously harvest the IP addresses of devices that viewed the content in his posts, and without explaining how he tied us to iHeartRoulette (because he can't), he claimed that the simple act of harvesting those IP's proves we are iHeartRoulette (it doesn't and we aren't) and posted that story to bury the one about him and then doubled-down as he always does and went as far as creating a "birther" page on his site with all the false accusations about us, stating them as if they were facts based on evidence (which they are not).

    Needless to say, everything on that page SteveH created on his "birther" site about us and our site is 100% false, and he knows it. Of course, we never censored the thread attacking him like he requested, so he left that page up on his site with all his false and unfounded accusations about us. No apology from him, no admission of wrongdoing, no remorse. Just a desperate last-ditch scorched-earth tactic to draw as much attention away from the attacks against him.

    We had left his post about that "birther" page on the main thread here to prove to him it would have no affect on us (particularly since it's completely false) and that's the last we ever heard from him since he knew by then we would not censor that thread attacking him under any circumstances and there was nothing else he could do to get his way. That is, that's the last we heard of him, until now. He's back posting his commercial links and violating our rules and we aren't going to sit idly by and let him run over this community and set a dangerous precedent.

    So to recap SteveH's M.O. against accusations on forums he does not control: first SteveH attempts to overload the reader with so much commercial information that they give up or don't know what to believe (or the mods close it down for being disruptive), then SteveH discredits the accuser as being a competitor with an agenda against him, then he accuses the moderators of bias to force them to protect him as the squeaky wheel that gets the grease, then SteveH tries to remind the Admins that he had scratched their back so they should scratch his back and remove the thread attacking him, then SteveH makes multiple offers to purchase the entire site hosting the thread so he can control the narrative and censor the thread attacking him, then SteveH tries to bury the story about him by attempting to create an even bigger story accusing the Admins of being the account behind the attacks against him without providing a shred of evidence, and -- if all that fails -- SteveH desperately attempts to extort the Admins by publishing false accusations on his site and tells the Admins he won't remove the lies until the Admins censor and remove the thread attacking him. This is who SteveH is and we find it reprehensible. He may have a lot of roulette knowledge (which, if he does, we hope he contributes to this community), but that does not mean we will allow him to run all over this community and do as he pleases in complete defiance of our rules.

    Note that we never made any judgement about any of the attacks levied against SteveH as we do not know what is true and what is false regarding what others say about him. Furthermore, we're not making any judgments about SteveH based on anything he has said outside this community. We are basing this entire post solely on what SteveH has said in this community and it's enough for us to know he has zero credibility. We find it difficult to believe an upstanding seller with credibility and a working product and service would ever behave like SteveH has behaved in this community, so we will allow the readers to draw their own conclusions about SteveH's credibility and that of his products and services based on the facts above, but felt a responsibility to post the full picture about him and his transgressions here since we know for a fact that he lies and then doubles down on those lies when he is attacked by anyone, and never admits he is wrong even when he so undoubtedly is.

    To be clear to our community, we never get involved with altercations between our members, particularly since we rarely know who is actually telling the truth and aren't qualified to make judgements related to gambling. However, if you foolishly bring us into the conversation where we can obviously verify you are lying to the community with false accusations against us just to attempt to take pressure off of yourselves and derail and distract threads where you are being attacked, then you will not get away with it, we will get involved, we will respond, and we will remind this community every time it applies, such as we are doing here and will continue to do by copying and pasting this post as a response to any and all future attacks posted by SteveH on this site against anyone. We won't ban you for such false accusations like we haven't banned SteveH (despite having every reason to since he continues to repeatedly violate our rules), and we won't delete your lies just like we haven't deleted SteveH's lies, but let this serve as a deterrent to any members who think that they can easily draw attention away from attacks against them by simply falsely accusing us just because we have a lenient and hands-off approach to our administration. Do not mistake our leniency for weakness and do not try to take advantage of us by attempting to throw us under the bus to save yourself. It's not going to work and it's going to backfire and we are making a thorough example out of SteveH since he has decided to return and continue to defiantly violate our rules by posting his commercial links and videos thinking we are naive and are going to permit it despite all of his transgressions. We will not.
