I'm always fascinated by the newest SPAM techniques, and I've decided to start listing some of the more creative ones here with explanations.  This message was intentionally sent to a fictional name; CHRIS JEFFERSON so that it looks like a personal message I'm not supposed to be seeing.  It didin't fool me, partially due to the fact that I received about 20 of them to various different addresses.  Obvious SPAM.  But it's designed to look like a SECRET I'm not supposed to see. Don't be fooled.

Hello Chris,
I think that my research may be useful for you.
After two months of experiments I discovered that Net-Gaming-Casino's roulette is pretty predictable!
After three consequent Red or Black outcomes bet on the opposed color (i.e. red-red-red-black or black-black-black-red).
It works for me 9 of 10 times! Even if not then just bet 2x previous stake on the opposed color (i.e. red-red-red-red($10, lost)-black($20, won) or black-black-black-black($10, lost)-red($20, won), amounts of previus stakes do not matter).
Try it! Here is the URL: www.(deleted).com
It is possible to win approximately from $100 to $500 PER HOUR using this strategy. And even more because they double your first deposit.
