Roulette

At the roulette table, there may often be times where the betting terminology could confuse you. Here is a short list of the various betting options available at a simple table.

The Martingale betting strategy depicts that every player must win eventually. The rules are simple: each time you lose a spin, you double your bet. Even if you are on a losing streak, the idea is that eventually, you will win, and the payout should be significant enough for you to at least break even.

The downfall is that if you want to win playing roulette using the Martingale betting strategy, you will usually have to spend a substantial amount.

The Grand Martingale betting strategy is mostly the same as the Martingale betting strategy. The difference is this option operates on a larger scale. Every time you lose a spin, you will double your current bet plus an extra amount equal to your original bet. While this could make a more significant impact on wallet, the payout will be much higher when you do win.

This betting strategy is perfect for those that have a bigger bankroll. It can become quite profitable, especially after just a few wins.

The Reverse Martingale betting strategy is, again, similar to the Martingale strategy, but in reverse. Instead of doubling your bet when you lose a hand, it is increased when you win. This offers the advantage of minimising the damage when you lose. Conversely, you should ideally be on a winning streak before you see a considerable return.

The Reverse Martingale betting strategy is more attractive to most players. Because you are increasing bets based on when you win, you have a smaller chance of depleting your money on a losing streak.

For players who aren’t too keen on pressing bets, the D’Alembert roulette strategy is the better option. It offers a much lower risk of a significant loss than other strategies. Here, instead of doubling your bet, you increase your stake by one unit after a loss, and one is removed after a win.

For example, if you have four chips on a line bet and it wins, you remove one chip so that the next spin only has three chips on it.

If you’re looking for a safe strategy, this one’s for you. The Fibonacci roulette strategy has been built on the Fibonacci numbers; a sequence of numbers that is the sum of the two numbers before it. It looks like this:

1 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 8 – 13 – 21 – 34 – 55 – 89 – 144 – 233 – 377 – 610 – 987 – etc.

This system needs to be implemented on even-number bets only. These bets have a 50% chance of winning each time, and you will need to wait for your first win before moving on to the next number in the sequence. You will start with the minimum bet. Once you win, increase the bet by one unit. If you win again, increase it by two, and so on. When you lose a spin, you again place a minimum bet and start again.

This is for anyone who doesn’t have a desire to sit at the table for too long. On every round, you will need to play with 20 units. Within this strategy, players will only need to place three bets. The first: 14 units on the outside bet, 19-36. The second: 5 units the inside line bet, 13-14-15-16-17-18. The last: 1 unit on the single zero. Simple, but not great for extended play.
