the first, which is what I believe Walters did - which is very time consuming - is track the results on a wheel for a long time to determine if their is bias - some numbers coming up more often than they would randomly - due to wear and tear on an old wheel and/or it being out of balance for some reason
the 2nd method is visual prediction
the bettor memorizes the placement of all of the numbers on the betting layout
he watches the wheel spin and at the very last allowable moment he places his bets making his prediction where the ball will land and the nearby numbers it might bounce do
to say this is difficult is a huge understatement
you could prolly count the no. of bettors who in the entire world have mastered this skill on your fingers and toes
.
