Old Systems

Online casinos try all sorts of tricks to tempt you.
Double Zero - Single Zero - NO Zeros
If you expect there to be any real difference
for a software driven game, I pity you.

Older Favourite Systems

             These old systems are well known to most  people  although  there  are many who have yet to learn of them and find out how 'dangerously' costly they can be to whoever plays them.  There are many variations on them and  many newer systems are just these older systems in disguise.

    Systems played on the Even Odds betting options

    Martingale: Simply double up your bet after  every  loss until you  finally  win. Unfortunately you will manage to reach the table limit enough times to  ensure that you will  lose  more than a  few  sessions  which  will leave you the  loser overall. Each session  won will give you a win that is equal to your starting bet. So if you start with a $5 bet you will after 7 straight losses be  betting  $640 to win $5.  If you reach the  end of the  road  ( table limit ) at  maybe  $500,  it is going to take you the next 100 'winning' sessions to get back to breaking even. Does that sound like a sensible system to you?  

    d'alembert: This simple system involves adding a unit to your last  bet if  you lose and removing a unit every time you win. It's success is very dependant on there being an equal spread of  the ' even odds'  option you  choose to  play ie. 100 spins to give 50 black and 50 red. It's very common for this not to  happen and if you  are UNLUCKY  enough to  choose  the  option that falls  behind the other ( 40 RED - 60 black) you will find yourself in a position you will not  like - LOSING.  Additionally the zero's make this system work badly against you as well. Just to sound more  confusing you have to be aware of  instances  where although you  might get 50red/50black in a  session you could get a  clump of red numbers at  the  beginning of  your  session  and  find  that  the rest of the session favours the black numbers which means your progression on red  gets higher and higher and your resolve to  carry on  weakens  because there is  no guarantee of a turnaround. It  could be  suggested then that for this  system to work you probably need an even spread of the even odds bets  ALL THE TIME for this system to work. ie. no long periods of  favouritism for either  side of the even odds bet. 

    Fibonacci: This system involves a  progression  whereby you bet the  sum of the last two bets you  have made - 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,etc... This  comment I found elsewhere,
    ' Like all roulette staking systems, the  Fibonacci should be used  infrequently, with small stakes and for fun. It will never make you rich, but it could turn a few idle moments at the wheel into a few more welcome dollars.'
    It is very definitely a win sometimes, lose  sometimes system which  you can see for yourself has you betting quite high  after a few  losses in a row. Not for the faint hearted and if you are wise you will avoid this system like the plague.

    Labouchere: Also known as the  'Cancelation System'. You  start by  writing down 3 or 4 ( or more) numbers - they can be all the same - whatever you like . 1-1-1-1 or 1-3-6-4 or 1-2-3-4. You start by  adding the  two  outside  numbers and you bet the sum of them. If you lose you add  that  amount to the  end  of
    the row and if you win you strike off the two outside numbers and bet the sum of the next two outside numbers. Your sequence is finished when have won all bets and the numbers have all been struck off. A losing  sequence on  1-2-3-4 goes like this bet 1+4 lose and the  sequence  becomes 1-2-3-4-5 so you  bet 1+5 and win and you now have 2-3-4 so you bet 2+4 for a  win which  leaves a bet of  3.  That's  the  good  news  which  unfortunately  is  not  how it  always happens.

    Parlay: Of all the  progressions I  would  consider this one the  safest to play. You could have some fun with this system which involves letting your bet  ride for as long as you like. Most people end up letting it ride too long and giving it all back but at least you actually only lose the value of the initial bet. If you do play it you should decide at what point you are  going to  stop  'letting it ride' - and stick with it.  At least with this system you can pretend to be a  'big time' player even if you are doing it with the casino's money.  Like all  progressions on the even odds bets it fails because of the Law of  The Even Chances.

    Well, these are the more commonly known  systems that you  quite  possibly have  already  read  about.  As  they  stand  they  do  not  work  to  anybody's advantage and it is questionable whether any system based on them fares any better. However they had to be included here  just for the  sake of  people  who might not  have heard of them and it annoys me to see more than a few  online casinos mention them almost as suggestions for their members to try out.

    There is a very basic thing that you should understand. If you ever feel tempted to play any  system  you  should  always  test it  thoroughly  because in  99% cases you will more than likely find out for yourself that they do not win. Better to waste a little time at home than to go to casino and lose your  hard  earned money.

     Are You Thinking Of Playing Online?
    If you choose to play at any online casino and I know the temptation is great, DO NOT try to beat them  with a  system  and in  particular  any  progressive system. I don't have absolute proof that the software is  programmed to  beat such  activity  but I  have  experienced   enough  extremely  unnaturally  bad sessions to put me off playing that way.  Just Be Very Careful.

    Online Casinos are more  suited to  people  who  like to  play  slot  machines because that is all they are, all ELECTRONIC games, with built in  odds  and ready to pay out  when  they  feel  like it and  more than  willing to  take  your money when they don't feel like it.
