A lot of people ask me which is the best betting strategy. There is no one best strategy – it’s all about finding the best fit for you. Before we begin, it’s important to note that there is no surefire way of winning or losing at roulette. You are essentially gambling in the hope of gaining an advantage – if you do, then great, but if not, you’re still winning at least you’re not losing.
Red Or Black?
The first thing you need to determine is whether you should play red or black. There are many casinos where the house edge favours the latter, so if you want to maximize your expected winnings, then go for black. Alternatively, if you are more of a historical person and like the thought of red coming up on every spin, then go for that. It’s also important to note that if you have an allergy to either colour, then it’s probably best to stay away from black, as it is often roulette’s dye that is responsible for allergic reactions. People with red sensitivities usually also have black ones as well, so it’s a double whammy of misery when it comes to allergies on that front (which is most likely why most casinos don’t use black).
Martingale
One of the most popular strategies amongst gamblers is the martingale system. Simply put, it is where you bet on multiple colors and try to win back your initial investment. The idea is to go all-in on your first spin and hope to get a reasonable return on your investment. Here’s how it works:
· You put down a wager of X on a single spin.
· If the ball comes up red, you will win X.
· If the ball comes up black, you will lose X.
· If the ball comes up green – it’s a free spin.
You keep on doing this, placing another wager each time, until you either break even or make a profit. It’s a fair bet if you’re using a fair betting strategy, as you’re not increasing your chanced of winning against the house. However, there are numerous drawbacks to this approach. If you’re using the martingale system and you lose, then you will inevitably lose all your money. There’s also the fact that it’s extremely difficult to keep track of what you’ve won and lost, as you can’t determine the outcome of each spin. In order to keep track, you will have to keep a running tally of your wins and losses, which can be a cumbersome process. For these reasons, I don’t recommend the martingale system as a valid betting strategy.
Roulette Wheels Don’t Always Spin
If you’ve ever played roulette, then you’ll know that the wheel does not always spin. This can throw off even the most experienced and practiced of gamblers. If the wheel doesn’t spin, then there’s absolutely no point in betting on it, as you can’t determine who will be the next person to pull the handle. You will simply have to wait until the next round of the wheel, or until the next spin of one of the other wheels (depending on what type of game you’re playing). This can create a frustrating delay, as you’re forced to keep on betting on a non-spinning wheel, even when the outcome is already known.
Expect The Unexpected
If you’ve ever played roulette, then you’ll know that the wheel can suddenly stop spinning – it just as easily as it can start. If you’re not prepared for this, then you could end up losing huge amounts of money, as you’ll have to keep on betting, even when the wheel has stopped. It’s important to keep an eye out for this, as there’s no way of knowing when it could happen. If the wheel stops, then there’s also no point in attempting to beat the game, as you’ll never know when it could happen again.
There are numerous other factors to consider. One of the most important factors to consider is how experienced are you at gambling? Are you prepared to risk large sums of money on an uncertain outcome? It’s also important to consider how patient you are. You can get very aggravated when you’re losing, and if you’re not careful, you could end up saying or doing things that you will regret later. It’s also important to consider how lucky or unlucky you are in real life. Are you experiencing good or bad luck respectively? Many gamblers believe that they are due for a good run of luck, and if this is the case for you, then it might be the perfect opportunity for you to take a risk and bet big – just be sure to have the necessary funds available to make good on your bets. Do you have a system for keeping track of your wins and losses? Are you making the right use of social media? There are many different factors to consider, and it’s important to find a system that works best for you. Are you prepared to risk it all on a single spin of the wheel? These are all important questions, and it’s crucial that you consider the answers before putting down a bet. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to gambling.
