Roulette Systems
:
Martingale - A
progress system which is played on even chances and is based on
probability that the bet will eventually win. The player starts on
an even chance bet (red/black odd/even high/low) and continues to
double the bet until it hits. Player then reverts back to min bet.
When the player hits a winning spin they will have gained the value
of the initial bet in profit. This system is a long term strategy
with slow gains and if the player hits an adverse run of losses
then this could use up bankroll quickly.
Labouchere -
This is a cancelling out system and is more suited to smaller
bankrolls as with missed spins the cumulative bet does not progress
as with martingale. Player begins by writing a row of 6 numbers ie.
1 2 3 4 5 6 with the target being to cross out all numbers. By
adding the 2 outer numbers this determines the bet in units. If the
spin is won the 2 numbers are crossed out if it loses the bet total
is added to the line and its all repeated. The object of this
system is to cross out all numbers on the line.
Reverse
Labouchere - made famous by the book 13 against the bank
this system simply reverses the labouchere system. Every
winning spin add the number to the line and losing spins cross out.
This can be good short term if you set a target to reach as your
maximum progressive bet ie use units of £1 and target max bet of
£25
D'Alembert -
is a basic progressive system on even chances. Start with chosen
amount on even chance and every winning spin reduce this by 1
unit and on losing spins add 1 unit to the bet. The target is to
reach the table minimum so if this is £5 start at £10 with the aim
to reach £5. Seen as much safer than martingale as the stakes do
not increase at the same rate
