21st Century Gambling

Since it’s creation in 18th century France, roulette has become one of the worlds most popular gambling games. Since its beginning, many roulette gambling systems have been developed in order the give the players some advantage over the house. However, no roulette system can guarantee the win. A roulette system can be useful, in fact most system players will do better than ordinary gamblers simply because it adds discipline to their betting. This can be especially useful when you play roulette online when self discipline is especially important.

Among the numerous roulette systems, variations of Martingale strategy are quite common and popular amongst roulette players. The martingale system requires that players double the amount of their bet after each individual loss. The basic premise of this system is at one point the player will eventually win and than he/she will get back all the lost money with profits. Unfortunately this strategy has some serious flaws. Almost all the casinos have a limit for maximum bet and moreover, this strategy requires a very large amount of money. Antoher system you may have heard of is the Fibronacci system. With this strategy, the player calculates the bets according to the Fibonacci number sequence.

Andres Martinez, author and former editor of LA Times invented an interesting roulette gambling strategy which he named Dopey Experiment. In this experiment the player needs to divide his total amount of money for one session in 35 equal portions. Then he will bet the amount of each portion for the same number for 35 consecutive spins. If the ball lands on the number within 35 spins, the player gets back the original amount and can continue playing with house money.

Similar to Martingale system, there is another progression based roulette gambling strategy which is called Labouchere System. This system has a serial of number in a line which guides the player to fix the bet amount after a loss or win. This system is more flexible than Martingale system and it allows the player to make the initial bet on his own preference. A long run of series losses in the Martingale system can make the player reach the table limit and stop. However, the Labouchere system makes the bet size increase rapidly even if the losing sequence is interrupted by wins.

D’Alembert system, another roulette gambling system is also known as montant et demonant and more popularly as pyramid system. The theory behind this system is a mathematical equilibrium theory. This system is generally applicable on even money bets such as red/black, odd/even and high/low. The pattern of this system is quite simple: add one unit following a loss and deduct one unit following a win. This roulette gambling system is fundamentally flawed as the underlying idea of this system is based on the gambler’s fallacy that a win is more likely to be followed by a loss and vice versa.

Several roulette gambling systems are available for money which promise surefire wins in roulette. Please be aware that there is no system in existence which can ensure a win.
