My New Roulette Strategy

[blux]

European Board Bet 0 for $1 dollar

after 29 spins if it hasnt hit 0

start betting $2 (martingale method)

The reason why i think the martingale method would work here is

a) the amount of money starts off really low.
b) the amount of spins is 29 and not 1 before you double your bet again.

so theoreteically After 174 spins if it still isnt green yet it in the martingale method your only up to $32.00

and your spent a grand total so far of $1827.

So if you got the bankroll to do it. It should work the problem is you dont make very much money. But green should hit at least once by the time the roulette spins 174 times.

Comments?

and if the money your making isnt enough think about all the comps you'll get

After careful calculations, I think your system has an EV in the neighborhood of -2.70%.

Wouldnt this work though?

Assumptions -

Before 29 spins: The probability of 0 hitting = 1:37

After 29 spins: probability of 0 hitting <= 1:37

Yes, it would work extremely well. Given a very large amount of spins, add up all the money you have wagered, and you will find you have lost almost exactly 2.7% of it.

That sounds like a great strategy. Don't forget to visit BBV after you go broke.

BBV stands stands for "Beats Brags and Variance" which is a part of the 2+2 forums where people go to curse the luck or brag about their wins. I'm sorry for being rude, I hadn't realized that you do understand that roulette is a -ev game.

It doesn't matter what kind of a betting system you use, the EV will stay the same. But for example with Martingale, you'll have more small winning sessions, but this is compensated by the huge losses you'll take from time to time. Read this WoO article (http://wizardofodds.com/gambling/bettingsystems.html) about betting systems, understand it and you won't have to ask about systems anymore.

The way to lose the least is to bet the least. The more you bet the more you lose. Case Closed.

[roundmound]

I like it. Even if you lose you get the pleasure of going home and telling your friends "OMG I played for like 8 hours and the wheel never hit 0. Craziest thing ever, dudes!!!!"

Okay, this gimmick account is getting old.

37 numbers on European wheel, if you can find such a wheel that allows you to only bet a total of $1 on the individual numbers (in the USA, most minimums are higher)

1/37 chance ON AVERAGE of number hitting.

36 spins, you've invested $43 and about that much time. If 0 comes up on spin 37-49, and if European wheels pay off 35:1, you'll net between $27 down to $1

So, you'll bet $45 to net $27 at best, and possibly $69 to net $1 in that scenario. <font color="red">The comps you'll earn during that hour? About 50 cents, I'm estimating (2.7% of your wagers, with the casino kicking back only a portion)</font>

After 58 spins with no winner, you're down $174. Your comps might be up to $2 if you're lucky. The 59th spin (not even two rounds), you're betting $4 and would take in $140, for a net of -$34 and comps of a few dollars.

Now, what if 0 doesn't come until 3 complete rounds (111 spins)? Before your winner on spin 111, you've invested $387. If your $8 bet hits on spin 111, you're only down -$107.

If you're just fooling around and want to waste some money on roulette, your martingale is just as good as any. But don't you think you could find some better gambling chances with your couple of hundred dollars than this?

Spending 18 c-notes to win back $1100 (a $700 loss) isn't my idea of a good time.

[blux]

yeah for some reason the amount of money needs to be doubled or something for the amount to be equaled im not sure at what dollar amount but if in the martingale method your at $8 double it to $16 and after that double to $64.

yeah not a very good strategy lol.

Hang out at the table and play as slowly as possible while betting the table minimum and chugging the most expensive drinks the casino has. That should be +EV at the end, just don't start betting the black chips instead of the white/blue chips when you get drunk
