Gonzalo Garcia Pelayo: The God of the Roulette

 


Gonzalo Garcia Pelayo, born in 1947 in Madrid is a record producer and math virtuoso. And he is famous with his accomplishments in beating the roulette. He made huge profits from the game, using an invented by him, legal method. It was based on statistical analysis and the fact that the roulette table, like any other machine, surely has imperfections and because of them, there is a higher probability for certain numbers to come out. Pelayo gathered the data of thousands of launches and spending years on this, he detected a roulette in the Madrid Casino that favours some numbers.

        

At the end of 1991, he started playing at the Gran Madrid Casino and won around 70 million pesetas by the middle of 1992, which is roughly 700,000 dollars at that time. After a win of around €500,000 in one day, Gran Madrid forbade Pelayo and his two children Ivan and Vanessa to enter the casino. And they started touring the world – casinos in Las Vegas, Austria, Holland, Australia and many more countries experienced on their backs the truthfulness of Pelayo’s calculations. The total amount of his gain was never disclosed, but it is estimated that he and his family accumulated winnings of over 250 million pesetas (between one and a half and two million dollars). His extraordinary tactics and his fame generated two movies – a documentary of The History Channel called ‘Breaking Vegas: The Roulette Assault’ and a fiction movie by Eduard Cortes named ‘The Pelayos’. There is also a book from 2003 – ‘The Fabulous Story of Los Pelayos’, written by Gonzalo Garcia Pelayo himself.

Lampadati Cinquemila

  The Lampadati Cinquemila is the fastest sedan in GTA Online : The Contract. It has decent all-around performance, with exceptional acceleration that brings it up to par with the supercars on this list. Based on Aston Martin Victor, The Champion has a unique look and is a one-of-a-kind custom vehicle . It is slightly inferior to the Ignus in terms of performance but has the same top speed. The Champion is also a bit more expensive, and hence, it loses out to the Ignus in terms of price-to-performance ratio. It can, however, be modified with Imani tech modifications that aren't available on the Ignus.
