The Truth about Roulette Systems and How to Win!
The Truth about Roulette Systems and How to Win! Casinos have an
edge and they make money, FACT. Players bet on Roulette and the
game has a built in edge in the casinos favour. The player wins
or loses on individual bets, but the casino is looking at the
odds over the LONG term.
It's a bit like the way the insurance companies calculate
insurance premiums, they lose sometimes, but they have an edge
in their favour where premiums collected are more than their
payouts.
Therefore, Individual bets even out over the long term and the
casino earns according to the following equation:
Casino Profit = (Total Bets All Players) x (House Edge)
The House Edge Roulette balls and dice have no memory. Every
spin in roulette is independent of all past events and the
current spin is not influenced by previous spins. This combined
with the house edge dooms all roulette systems to failure.
Roulette systems cannot work, as there is no reliable data to
base a system on in the first place. If you don't have data you
rely on, you can't have a system that works!
Over time, the longer you play, the ratio of money lost to money
bet will get closer to the house edge. If you win in the short
or long term, it is purely down to chance, or luck.
Roulette Systems - Progression Systems Progression systems are
based on the belief that this equation can be beaten. It is an
attempt to ignore the truth and tries to place bets according to
a set equation in an attempt to change the house edge in favour
of the player. There are two main types of progression roulette
systems:
Negative Progression A system where wagers are raised after a
losing bet is called a negative progression. The logic behind
this type of betting system is the frequency of winning sessions.
It assumes that in almost every session, the player will be able
to leave on a win.
The downside is that loosing sessions can be very expensive for
the player. The most famous of these systems is the Martingale
system. While a player would lose over time anyway, the casino
gives itself some added protection restricting the number of
consecutive bets!
Positive Progression Another method is positive progression,
pyramiding, or letting a profit ride.
Players are willing to gamble more aggressively with money they
have won in order to win bigger amounts.
The downside of these systems is the player needs to keep
winning.
The player needs a long series of wins and the odds are strongly
against him, in fact the house edge tells you that he can't win
and the longer he plays the more obvious this will become.
The fact they are sometimes playing with winnings is irrelevant
over time to their overall profitability.
Winning at Roulette It is obvious from the above that casinos
can't lose over the long term because of the house edge.
The above systems will not work, as there is no reliable data to
base them on.
Players can win in the short term, (by chance), but the longer
they play the more the casino gains an edge and wins.
To get the house edge down to its lowest level does not require
roulette systems, all you need to do is know the right bets and
how to place them.
