    Hi there

    Guy claiming he has a roulette computer that works, I have chatted to someone over the net that has this system who claims it works, now going for a demonstration.

    I am travelling some distance, so if anyone can give me any info on the guy prior, it would be aprpeciated.

    Saw the ad here too on ebay>

    Given all the flamin insurance I have it appears I am already worth a fortune dead ... !!!!!! all alive, but a fortune dead. Therefore, also given that I have just received Mrs O's credit card bill there is no amount of money that would cause me to put a gun to my head ... I want to make her suffer !!!!

    Ivan

    Ps: How many times would you put a gun to your head and pull the trigger if you knew there were no bullets in it ? Have you ever seen a broken firing pin being ejected from a gun ... would go straight through your skull.

    Just think, that computer is such a bargain.

    After your first win you'd be able to afford thousands of them ...
