There are a number of commonly used betting strategies that are used at the casino to try and beat the casino. Other players will insist they have thought up a fantastic new system that is guaranteed to make you a winner. Unfortunately any system you use or devise yourself will still not be able to beat the casinos statistical advantage over a long period of play. The only way you can do this is by using slightly more underhand methods which are described in the beating roulette section of the website.

Here are a few different systems you may like to try. All the systems use the even money outside bets so it doesn’t matter if you place red/black, odd/even or high/low bets they all have the same payout.

Martingale System

The most famous system of them all and some would argue the worst. It would be a great system but only if you had millions of pounds to bet with and the casinos did not insist on having maximum table limits. The premise behind the system is that you bet on the same outcome every time and you win your minimum bet every time your losing streak comes to an end. To do this you start off betting your minimum bet on one of the even money outside bets. Lets say you choose red and your minimum bet is £5. If you win the bet you place another bet at £5 on red. If you lose you double your bet sticking to red every time. So if you lose, you bet £10. If you lose again you double your bet again to £20. If you win this bet you start again betting £5. All the time sticking to red. As you can see every time your losing streak ends i.e the ball lands on a red number you win £5. For example in the previous streak you lost £5 then you lost £10 then you won £20 so overall you end up winning £5. You just keep doing this again and again each time a losing streak comes to an end you win £5.

The problem with this system is that it is quite likely you will end up after a while losing a several times in a row. If you were betting at a wheel with a maximum bet of £1000 by the time you reach your ninth losing bet you will be above the table maximum and on the previous eight spins you will have lost £1275 trying to win your £5. You may think black would never come up 9 times in a row but unfortunately it happens much more often than you think.

You can modify this method a bit and it gives you a bit more chance of being successful but it would take several hours to win perhaps £100 and you will still be risking a lot of money for a small gain. With this variation all you do is wait for the outcome of the three outside bets to have the same result three times before starting you betting. For example if the black has come up three times in a row you start betting on red on the fourth spin with your minimum bet and as before keep doubling your bet every time you lose sticking to red each time. The premise behind this is that you have extended the losing streak by three spins without risking any money. So to lose at a table with a £1000 maximum there would have to be 11 blacks in a row which only occurs very occasionally.
