We already mentioned that there is no one trick that guarantees 100% victory at roulette, the results are random. No one can have a winning streak using betting systems. All you need is luck and nothing else.
Martingale: how to win at roulette
It is quite simple, and that is why it wins a lot of fans. The idea of Martingale is to double the previous game every time there is a loss. This would serve to recover the lost amount. It works for red/black bets.
Even if there are consecutive losses, supposedly at some point the player will have a satisfactory result, the amount invested in the previous rounds is won. In reality, the strategy has several flaws.
The ball has no memory and can land on any square. Even if it has fallen on black in succession, it can fall again and again. Some people think that the odds are 50% for red and 50% for black.
However, the 0 house is green. In the long run, Martingale is not a bad idea, but to put it into action, you would need infinite money. Another detail is that the tables have betting limits, so one has to look for tables with high roulette limits.
D’ Alembert System
It is similar to the previous techniques, because it is a progressive method. It uses outside bets, such as odd/even, red/black, low half/half/high.
Every time there is a loss, the bet must be increased. And every time there is a win, the bet must be decreased, in the same proportion. The system understands that, in the long run, the number of wins and losses will balance out.
- Let’s give an example: the bet starts with $20, having as amount of decrease or increase $1. The player wins, then in the next round bets only $19. He wins again, going to $18. Then, he loses, increasing to $19.
The difference then is that D’ Alembert has less aggressive progression than Martingale.
The problem is that each move on the roulette wheel is independent, there is a probability that the ball will stop on any square.
And in the case of 0, the casino is the winner, since it is not a red, black or half-high house…
Another detail is the betting limits of the tables, which have no way to compensate for the number of losses.
Oscar’s Grind Method
Reportedly, Oscar Grind was a successful casino gambler. In his system, the gambling budget is divided into units and outside bets that count (red/black, odd/even, and other examples).
Every time there is a win, the bet must be increased by 1 unit. In case of a loss, the same amount must be wagered as in the previous game.
Since the succession of losses and wins is random in roulette and a bettor’s funds are not infinite, the system does not work.
