Will this strategy work? Seems flawless to me...

[Stijn1990]

I'm a newb in roulettesystems but I thought about some kind of strategy and I don't seem to find any faults in it.

First of all, it's not a fast money making. It's step by step. I used it on bwin

You put 0.10 on "even", if you win you get 0.20. You continue to do this until you get
an uneven number. If you get uneven you double your bet to 0.20. If it is even you recover the loss you made,
if it's uneven you double your bet to 0.40. If it is even you recover the loss you made, uneven you double your bet until 0.80, and so on
until you recover the loss. Then you can restart betting 0.10 until you get uneven again.

You always recover your loss, and slowly start gaining money...

Hi Stijn1990

Do you mean the Martingale? Doubling your bets after a loss to claw your money back.
We've got a description of the system here: http://www.onlineroulette.org.uk/?Roulette_Systems:The_Martingale_System

You are sensible to start off with a low bet, as the only problem with this system is the number of losses that you can incur before you hit the table limits. You might think that that is a low probability, but it depends on the roulette table you are playing on.

Say the minimum bet is £1 or $1 or whatever. And the table limit on Outside bets is 150. Your betting profile if you hit a losing streak would be
1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128. Then you would only be able to bet 150. Even if you won the last bet, you wouldn't get your money back.

So you only have to lose 8 times in a row, to start getting into problems here. PLUS, on that last bet, you are will have bet 255 quid just to win 1 quid. The odds are slightly less than 50/50 for you to win. Not a very good return for the risk.

You might think 8 losses in a row? Unlikely. But I have seen 15 reds in a row. I think the record is 20 something.

If you play the Martingale, I recommend you start small and wear a pacemaker! Plat short sessions and take profits early. The longer you play, the more likely you are to lose 8 in a row.

I use this system and, I have to agree, it does work

The only have one rule, and that is to play for no more than 20 or so spins, or until I've earned £10, whichever comes sooner.

I then quit and play again later.

I've also found that it only works on certain tables within any given casino.

If you decide to use this system, please test it thoroughly in fun mode first, on all the different versions of roulette (you'll soon discover which tables work and which ones don't

I should also add that I very rarely get over a £64 bet but, on occasion, I have had to bet £128 so please, please, please make sure you have at least £255 in your account to cover this eventuality (and play on a table that allows more than £100 on a spot)

Good luck and think rich!

The Martingale system is losing.

With its use of the house edge is increased to 20% and above, due to the fact that in order to get a $ 1, often need to put $ 32, $ 64, $ 128 ...
House edge european roulette 2.7% of the amount bid.
And the greater amount of rates for particular prize, so much the worse system. You must use systems that are less aggressive.

I use the program "Roulette Lucker" - its system of rates provides house edge not more than 6%.
