A:In the early 1990s, Gonzalo Garcia-Pelayo believed that casino roulette wheels were not perfectly random, and that by recording the results and analysing them with a computer, he could gain an edge on the house by predicting that certain numbers were more likely to occur next than the 1-in-36 odds offered by the house suggested.

B:Would it be possible, if cynical, to believe that a judge had received a kickback from the casino based on their monetary winnings from the case, given the way it was decided? Answer: gore
