The games may have changed between 2006 and 2014 so you might be comparing apples to apples. Also just by random happenstance some numbers will have shown up more or less than others.

The only "systems" I'm aware of for that game involve fallacious predictions of statistical outcomes (e.g. the last 20 spins have fallen on red, therefore black is more likely [gambler's fallacy]).
You can turn roulette into a positive EV game if you can predict a small slice of the wheel where the ball will not land before the croupier waves off further betting. Machines can do this and some people claim to be able to do this in there head(but I have serious doubts about that).
