Wheel analysis software automation

On Monday we start work on the software being able to automatically do analysis for you. When this part is done, we'll then integrate it into mobile phone software so you do automated analysis anywhere. The idea is so that even inexperienced players can apply advanced methods, all while there is no risk of leaking sensitive information (because the algorithms are on a secure server).

It is a huge task that may take many months to be fully completed. But it will be done in stages, and as each stage is completed, the changes will be applied to the analysis server for players to use.

Development is not going to be cheap so a monthly fee may be introduced if you use the automated mobile phone service, but if this is the case, you wont need to pay until you are consistently profiting.

There are a lot of exciting developments happening. I'll post ongoing updates.

Online wheel analysis software interruption

We recently updated the software, and there was a problem with the update installation so there is a permissions error on login. This is temporary and will be fixed shortly.

Partnerships

The technician has 5 more phones for modification, and they'll be sent to partners. I have not allocated the phones to any particular players yet, but will in the coming week or so.

We are also changing the phone model used. The firmware mods already started and will be complete soon. This model should completely solve the RF issues with the other phone models. If this proves to be the case, we can proceed to have two technicians modifying phones full-time which means there will be twice the amount of computers available.

Uber roulette computer software update

We're doing another update of the Uber roulette computer software. This one will be to make auto target for correct revolution and diamond hits even easier, but more importantly better able to deal with changing ball deceleration rates.

It will also better deal with wheels where the ball undershooting a target diamond results in high ball scatter (like my mk7 vestone huxley).

The developer estimates 10 days for completion and he's starting tonight. All players should send back the phones for updating. It's optional for purchasers, but I request that all profit split partners get the update.

The updates aren't essential, but are definitely worthwhile. Some players only recently sent back phones for updating, and if you'd rather not wait the 10 or so days, let me know.

Lite computer shipping

Everything is now complete and tested, and lite computer shipping will be done tomorrow. You will be emailed your parcel tracking details once shipped.

Advanced computer support meeting 4th October

We're doing another roulette computer support meeting on 4th October (Melbourne Australia). It will cover the more advanced features, in particularly:

• Getting accuracy with very early predictions (a few seconds after ball release). This includes how to assess what is possible or not, by using the a/t assessment software provided with the computer.
  

• Diamond hit targeting Vs correct rev targeting

If you are a new player and only know the basics, this meeting is not likely suitable for you. It is intended more for players who already know the basics, and want to know more about advanced settings for difficult conditions. I'll do a more basic support meeting another time.

To attend, please contact me asap.

Lite Roulette Computer Shipping

The programmer is almost finished adding the feature, and I expect to ship to everyone by end of Wednesday. While I could ship today without the new feature, I'm sure most people would rather wait an extra day or so to receive it. Again it helps get earlier predictions which is a very important ability. Once your parcel is shipped, I'll email you courier tracking codes.

V3 Hybrid Roulette Computer Update

Progress is incredibly smooth, and now the player doesn't even need to select the wheel as shown in the video at www.hybridroulettecomputer.com/v3.wmv

Now the user has the option to:

a. Automatically track the nearest wheel, or
b. Manually select a particular wheel

In tests, detection is 100% accurate. Specifically when I surrounded the test wheel with objects designed to confuse the image recognition algorithms, the wheel is correctly detected 100% of the time in milliseconds.

Still there is a lot of work to do, but the rest is far simpler than what we've already done. It's more a matter of putting the pieces together.

Skype / Support Calls

I'm making myself available for Skype calls on Monday and Wednesday this upcoming week. Cant do Tuesday as I have a meeting. When you see me on Skype, message me. But please be short and direct with what you need as there are a lot of people needing to speak.

Lite Roulette Computer Shipping

If you purchased the Lite computer and expected shipping this week, while everything is packed and ready to go, I'm just waiting for the programmer to finish one of the new features which helps you get predictions earlier. Once done, I'll install the latest version and ship.

It is a very useful feature so will be worth the extra wait. If it is done by the end of the day, then I can ship today. But it will more likely be early this upcoming week.

I apologize for the delay, and will be including free equipment as compensation for the delay.

Lite roulette computer shipping

Today I received 10 x lite roulette computer phones from the technician, and am preparing everything for shipping. Please be patient. Every order for the lite computer will be shipped by the end of the week. You'll be contacted with parcel tracking details once your items are shipped.

Roulette computer shipping update

Regarding the shipping of roulette computers, I receive 10 Lite versions
from the technician either today or Monday. Once received, I'll start
shipping. I expect to have shipped all required Lite roulette computers
by mid next week. You will be notified when your parcel has been shipped.

Phone calls tomorrow

My workload is higher than I expected (since many people just held off until I was back before emailing me requests), and I will have caught up on work by around end of this week. I will not be able to take calls tomorrow - my focus will be the backlog of work.

Hybrid V3 Progress

Development of the Hybrid V3 roulette computer is progressing very well (www.hybridroulettecomputer.com). The automated detection of the wheel in video, and automated prediction process is extremely complicated - especially since the angle of the video will vary, footage shakes, converting 60 frames per second video and ball position to precise timings etc.

One of the most challenging parts is for the computer to identify and track a particular wheel, and this part is now done. In the player only forum private areas (www.genuinewinner.com/forum) I've published a video demo of the Hybrid V3 tracking a wheel in a video. It demonstrates:

• How the wheel is selected and tracked: Importantly for the tracking, I selected a wheel in the far background and NOT the one right in front of the camera bearer (to make it much more difficult) and still you see it is easily tracked. The spins from the far back wheel can comfortably be predicted with a suitable video resolution.
  

• How the computer knows if an object moves in front of the wheel: You can plainly see when the person moves in front of the wheel, the computer knows this and keeps the detection box in place. In such a situation, the camera-bearing player can easily step around the person as needed because the computer automatically learns what the wheel looks like from multiple angles. There is no need to aim the camera, and as you can see from the video, even a distant wheel which appears small in the video is easily tracked. This is a significant improvement on earlier models.
  

While this development is completed sooner than expected, there is still an enormous amount of work to be done. Now that the wheel position can be tracked, the computer needs to observe inside the wheel detection area to track the actual ball and rotor speed. This is actually easier than what is done in the video demo especially as we can use programming source code from earlier versions.

Nevertheless, the actual hardware requires a lot of development to make it small enough to be bodyworn. Overall, I expect full completion in 3-4 months.

General update

I'm back now and have started on the backlog of emails and various work. It will take me roughly 3 days to catch up.

Software Monthly Fees

Just confirming the monthly fees for the online wheel analysis software have already been implemented. They apply only to players who joined after the previously specified date, which was months ago. The details have been in the terms of service since the changes were implemented.

However, I'll add that players are only charged the monthly fee once they are competent with the software AND are consistently winning. In other words, I don't expect players to pay monthly fees if they aren't profiting.
