Still nonsense. He can only Calculate the number whebthe bloke starts to spin ball... Yet before that he was standing in a area where he could only reach the lower numbers

for some reason they did all that crap to make it look like 'he could do it' but just had bad luck, trying to make it all seem real. It was all actors and nonsense.

The title didnt make sense, it was called how to beat the casino and he went in and lost £5000. Anyone else notice?

I just really don't get these series of shows, what is he trying to achieve? Is there a bigger trick that its all part of or is he genuinely failing

If it was live, then did no one see his adverts for the last week, and recognise him and realise what he was doing?

Plus dont you have to be a member to go in the majority of casinos?

also, he said that he did not want the casino not to identify him so he could place his bet , what name did he sign in to enter the casino? Alot of things did not add up. To be allowed to place a 5000 bet in an casino in the world, they need to know you before they allow you to place such a bet . totally confused .

No, you could walk in to one of the big casinos in the world (Im talking your Vegas, may be some in London) and throw down a £5k bet with nothing more than a check with the pit boss.

The fact it never worked is quite obviously the way it was planned. His last couple of shows set out to amaze a load of people at what he could do, but to get more people talking about it he has deliberately failed.

He'll get more viewers now for whatever he does next, because rather than know he is going to do something, there will be an element of suspense as to whether or not he can do it.

IMO.

Im not sure it will work that way.

The clever (and dare I say normal) people will know he is full of shit since watching his lottery bullshit.

The dumbasses who still thought he was some sort of God will now think he is shit because he couldnt do this (they are the sort to be fickle).

So he has risked losing a lot of his audience through this imo.

Most people know its bollocks, they watch to be entertained. The lottery stunt was very poor.
