Default Can you win at Roulette? Have a go...

I'm curious to know if any of the strategies for playing Roulette actually work. Anyone had any success playing either for real or online?

You can practice for free with this flash game >>> http://www.roulette-king.com/games/01/index.php

Let me know how you do and what strategy you used.

Kudos to the biggest winner. You start by having $999 to play with.

Yeh, that's pretty risky though isn't it, especially on exact numbers and with table limits.

I've tried a variation of that with red/black, even/odds which seems to work, albeit slowly.

I usually place neighbours bets, normally 16 and 23. This covers 9 consecutive numbers on the wheel @ £1 each, with £2 on number 5. This effectively covers 1/4 of the wheel, giving a £35 return off £10 or £70 if 5 comes in.

done it for years, won big, lost big, just depends on how the wheel feels on the day.

The strategy I'm trying at moment is this.

$25 first bet but only bet like this after the consecutive spins give you the probability edge.

If for eg, 1, 21, 19 spin up, bet $25 on even, double up until you win. Spin it up until you either get 3 reds in a row, then bet black or three odd numbers in a row, then bet even.

Seems to work out quite well, so far! The key is not to bet every spin.

I agree, but some strategies work better`than others. I doubt you could win £3000 every 11 spins lol

As far as winning on roulette goes, is doable mathmatically .. straight reds / blacks the odds are beatable..

what puts the odds out of the ballpartk and back to the casino is "0" or in som cases "00"

by adding these numbers changes the odd's from average to astronomical

I've been playing this game since I posted and made a safe $675 profit. Not bad if you could do this every hour for real lol

The strategy above, where each time you lose you double your original stake is useless, trouble with it being that you could eventually be putting down huge stakes and all you will win is the original bet, so if you start with a £1 bet you could get up to £32 in 6 spins just to win a pound back as that was your original stake. It's pointless unless you have enough in your bank to cover about 10-15 spins just incase (and it could even go past that) and that means if you start with a grand you could be up to 32 grand bets in 6 spins, that means staking a total of 63 grand just to win a grand....it's mad.

The alternative using the same double method, is to double each time you win. The only risk factor is knowing when to stop. But that's just gambling for you. But if you start with a pound an keep doubling each time you win, you put a pound on say, black, and then win a pound so then 2 pounds on black, then 4 then 8 etc. that's what I do as I can spend a tenner, so I get ten tries and can win a lot and not lose a lot.

thats what I do for real, but usually on blackjack. If I bet a fiver and win, i'll double up, if I win again i'll take my original £5 back and play the £15 hand. I keep going but take a portion back, which then covers any new bets if I lose.

I've turned £10 into £275 using this method. My strategy at blackjack is that I refuse to bust, i'll stand on 12 if I have to, the dealer has to beat me but must make 16 or over.

Thats gambling for you, the house normally has a table limit to stop the double up strategy. Otherwise they'd always lose.

There are ways to put the odds in your favour but at the end of the day I've found its about keeping your head when its not going to well

Theres loads of ways to play but i usually bet the dozens. I bet 1,2,3,4x whatever stake I'm using and if I dont get it in those 4 spins I'll reset my betting

Er no! This whole theory is flawed. The table will have a limit to the max bet. What you'll find is that after a certain number of double up bets you've hit the max limit on the table and therefore you have now lost even if you had brought a million£ to gamble with.

On some tables lets say you put down £10 on black, within 6 double up bets you've hit the limit of the table. It is not that unusual to get that number or even much greater of reds, blacks, odds, evens etc.

And each spin is an independent probability of 50/50, just because one spin was black mathematically that doesn't influence the next to be red.



The only real way to win on a roulette table is not to play!

Saying that I'll play from time to time (when on holiday for example) and will focus on red/black and odds/evens. I'll watch three tables at the same time and whenever I see a run of three or four on any of these tables I'll place a bet on the opposite.

This is actually illogical, but I still do it

We discussed this at length years ago and, basically, it can't be done.

I proposed a sort of hybrid version of the Martingale system but it still suffered from the same failing as any other system - the table limit. Not looked at the flash game above, however, if I doesn't have a table/bet limit then it is not representative of a real wheel.

Using the system of play we were discussing you could probably expect to be up more often than not when you visit the casino. However, one day you'd get wiped out for everything you'd ever made.....and some. You simply cannot keep raising the stakes indefinitely, even if you had the money to do so.

And I used to berate my Mum for doing exactly this ... could never convince her it was flawed.... you however are an enigma... you know it's flawed yet still do it
