This is more of a light hearted tip, not to be taken too seriously, I don't even recommend you try it out, but I'm just posting it in case some one wants to read out of interest!
Roulette is designed so the house”casino” will win. Always, but on average. Some people will win when playing roulette, but on average , the people loose, the casino wins. Especially when it comes to computer roulette. There are a few ways to actually win at roulette, and I mean win..! not some bogus strategy like the one I'm about to explain, but real proven methods. I might discuss them in the future!
Back to this post. As you may or not know, when playing roulette, you bet on the outcome of the ball rolling on the numbers, you can bet even or odd, black or red, high or low, and many other bets. If you bet on the ones i mentioned, you will double you money, however, if you loose, you loose that money you bet! Sound fair? Well it would be, except for the fact that 0 exists. And sometimes even 00 exists, 0 and 00 are neither red nor black, nor odd nor even nor high nor low. So yeah those segments on the disc really suck! Well now that that brief intro is over , here is the martingale method, followed by optimization for the martingale method.
So you have 100 dollars. Choose one of the 6 bets i have mentioned (red / black / high / low etc.) Lets say you chose red. Bet 1 dollar on red.
If you win, change color and start again, if you loose, double your bet on the same color. Example:
1$ on red. You win. Bet 1$ on black. You loose. Bet 2$ on black. You loose. Bet 4$ on black you win.
In case you don't see the reasoning behind this method , I'll explain. Every time you win, you essentially get back on dollar. That's it . If you have a loose,loose,loose,win(doubling up each bet) after those 4 bets, you win 1 dollar.
Looking at it closer:
say you have 7$ in your pocket, take it out and bet 1$ on red . You loose, bet 2$ on red, loose again(you have bet 3 $ in total now) double your bet as usual, bet 4$on red(7$ bet in total now) you win. You get back 8$ , so in total you won just 1$. so if you have a huge loosing streak, and one win at the end, in all you just won 1$.
Now bear in mind you can change your 1$ bet to a 10cent bet, or whatever the minimum bet is.
But there are two ways in which this system will help you loose all your money.
1) You don't have infinite money. No one does. And eventually (and inevitably if you play for long enough) you will have a huge loosing streak, and you'll have to bet a hell of a lot of money to win back your initial 1$bet(1$is the example I'm sticking with here)
Think about it. Its common enough to have 6 or 7 or 8 looses in a row, that means to win your 1$ you'll have to bet 128$, loose again, your gonna have to bet 256.. 512.. 1024... 2048...!!!! It builds up faster and more frequently than you might imagine
2The maximum bet. This will screw with the system.
Basically Don't try this. But you can be lucky like me and have limited luck, and stop when your ahead which i managed to do, but I know that's one of the hardest things to do.
Optimization
Well technically it is not optimization. It has no real effect, but it feels like it does or should. Say you get 200 blacks in a row. You think okay, the chances of me getting a red are really high now..! Actually this is false , called gamblers fallacy. The expectancy of a red is high but the probability does not change. You have the same chance of getting a red as a black. It never changes. Ever . Unless your wheel is biased or something.
But if you believe in this false effect you could play the martingale strategy more “wisely” as in wait til there is a few of the same color in a row, then bet on the alternate color.
In summary, roulette is fun but not when you loose, which will happen at some stage, so bear that in mind. And don't forget, gambling is a sin! Thanks for reading folks!
