Birmingham gambler in casino ban after £28,000 roulette win

‘‘But the fact is I was winning consistently and nobody has ever done that before with roulette.’’

But his winning streak came to an end on September 15 when the businessman visited Grosvenor Casino on Broad Street and was told he was barred.

Balvinder said: ‘‘I’ve been a member of that casino for a decade and have never had problems before.

“I spoke to the manager and pleaded to be told why I had been banned but he refused to tell me.

“I said if they thought I was cheating, or money laundering, then they should call the police. But he said that was not the case, so the only conclusion is that I was banned because I was winning so much money.

‘‘Yet my system is not cheating – it’s all about the maths.’’

The Birmingham bachelor has since employed solicitors to ask the Grosvenor Casino chain, owned by the Rank Group, for an explanation.

But the company’s Director of Security, John Butler, refused and wrote back: “You will be aware that we are under no legal obligation to give reasons fro excluding someone from our premises.

“It is therefore not my intention to assist your client further.”

A spokesman Grosvenor Casinos, which has more than 30 UK casinos, declined to comment when contacted by the Sunday Mercury.

As for Balvinder, he is now hoping to pass on the secrets of his system in his new book, Sequential Roulette: End Game.

He said: ‘‘People have been playing roulette for hundreds of years, yet no-one’s ever come up with a system that consistently wins.

‘‘But I’ve proved that my system works. Now I want to pass it on to other gamblers so they can win big too.’’
