Default Online roulette challenge, just for fun

It's a pretty simple game and an interesting test to see if you can beat the croupier.

Use the following strategy or one of your own and post up how much money you win or lose.

You start with $999.

Rules

Play for 15mins only.

Strategy

Ive found this to be the most consistent for winning regularly:-

Spin the wheel without betting until you spin 3 consecutive colours in a row, ie, 3 reds or 3 blacks. At this point, bet $25 on the opposite colour (either red or black). If you lose, bet on the same colour but double it, ie $50, if you lose again, same colour but double it again, ie $100 and so on until you win.

When you have won, repeat the above.

Would like to know how much you can win in just 15mins.

The link for the game is here >>> Free Game

Is completely free to use, no need to register or enter any details.

Good luck!

I can understand why you think this will work, but in the long run you'll lose in a big way. The fact you don't bet until you've had three of the same colours in a row is lulling you into a false sense of security, as each spin of the wheel is an independent event and not related to the previous or the next spin.

Once you start your doubling system (it's called the Martingale System), you'll end up putting down massive bets to win back your one unit (in this case $25). Doubling your units starting with $25 soon mounts up: 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and so on. Eventually, and more quickly than you might expect, the spins of the wheel WILL go against you and you'll have the 'wrong' colour come up numerous times in a row. Throw in the double zeroes for good measure and you're doomed. You will hit the table limit and won't be able to proceed with the system to give it a chance to play out.

The fact you mention the 15 minute rule is also going to work against you. I guess you're thinking that will be enough time to just dip in and out and make a few $$$s before anything untoward happens. Again this is false logic because you might get a few lucky 15 minute slots, but eventually your unlucky streak of numbers/colours will come along and rain on your parade.

Sorry, I'm not trying to spoil your fun, it's just that I have looked into this in the past, and sat there playing it out on the simulated tables and eventually it all goes wrong.
