Lesson 2: The Martingale System |

Many roulette systems are a variation of the popular Martingale system. This is a simple system that sounds good in theory. I've seen a lot of money lost to things that sound good in theory. The system works like this: on even money outside bets with a near 50-50 chance make a single bet. These bets are Red or Black, Even or Odd, and Low Numbers or High Numbers. If you lose the first bet then place a bet for twice as much on the same spot. If you lose again then double this amount. You simply continue in this fashion until you win. For example: you originally bet $5 on Red, you lose and bet $10 on Red, lose again and bet $20 on Red, lose again and bet $40 on Red, and so on. The theory is that the bet has to win at some point and you will recoup all of your loses and add an even money win on the original wager. |

The problem is that your odds aren't actually 50-50. There are one or two green zero pockets that are waiting to destroy your system. The other problem is casino betting limits. Not surprisingly, casinos have guarded themselves against the Martingale system. They have done this by placing betting limits on roulette tables. It usually only takes a string of a few loses to hit the table limit when you're doubling your wager. At this point you will no longer recoup your loses on a win and you stand to lose a significant amount of money. I would recommend avoiding the Martingale system all together. |
