Don't forget, Orac was under the influences of "molecular reduction" so may not have been as sharp as he usually would.

Just been watching Gambit. The Big Wheel is basically roulette. Vila is betting on single numbers. The odds at roulette for single numbers are about 30 to 1. Vila at one point has 0.5 million credits, then four million credits and finally five million credits. This doesn't work unless he's gambling only part of his winnings each time. The only reason he would do that would be if Orac could sometimes get it wrong. Yet we know he has six straight wins at least. All this doens't add up.
