Strategies for Winning at Roulette

ORIGINAL POST

Hey guys I know everything is luck but there is some probability into this game. Anyone has a fav way to play? I usually bet on black most of the time and on the middle-lower numbers and every 5 turns I put 5$ on zero.

Let me know how you guys like to play it!

Fin a single 0 table and bet the last number played with three numbers either side (on the wheel not numerically) and hope the dealer can hit that sweet spot.

I use the Fibonacci “strategy”. All good and well on the 50/50’s except when you’re betting Black and then Red hits 12 times in a row with the 13th being 00.

It’s fun. You’re sucked in and run through mental gymnastics of should you switch or ride it out? What if you switch and your color hit? It’s due right?

There is no strategy. All luck.

No such thing as a roulette strategy. Pick a color, pick some numbers, bet some dozens, bet some streets, whatever. You're gonna lose it all anyway. Roulette is a shitty game, I don't recommend it whatsoever.

Harsh but true lmao. The house edge is brutal on roulette, like 5.26% on American wheels. At least with blackjack you can actually use basic strategy to get it down to like 0.5% if you're not counting cards

Roulette strategy - am I missing something here?

Posted by the-peanut-gallery · in r/gambling · 3 years ago

So I think I found a new roulette strategy that actually gives the player a slight edge. It just feels like that can't be though, as this almost seems too obvious.

What I do is place a large even money bet, and a smaller bet on the 0. If it's double 00 (🤮🤢🤮) then bet on both of them. I usually bet red, but it doesn't really matter.

The house edge comes from the zeroes, so if I bet red, I win on red and 0, but only lose on black, so it's like I turned the house edge in my favor. Has anyone else tried this or had any luck with it?

Let’s say it’s a $10 outside bet table, $5 inside. You’d be putting $10 on red and $5 on the zeroes for a total of $15/$20 out there to win, in all likelihood, $20.

You’re going to lose as many red/black bets as you win so you’re already money behind there, and your 1 in 37/38 chance of 0/00 hitting to pay $35 to cover that will never catch up to the field.

The only thing this strategy does is give the house even more of your money, faster.

No, the inside bet needs to be a lot smaller, since it won't hit very often. A better ratio would be like $5 inside, $100 outside. You win money 20/38 times, which is more than half.

Yes, you didn't calculate the expected value, otherwise you'd see that it's negative.

> The house edge comes from the zeroes

Not literally, there's nothing special about the zeros. The house edge comes from the fact that the odds payed aren't commensurate with your probability of winning. There's no combo of bets that will change that; a bet with a higher probability has proportionally lower payout odds.

The ONLY Way To Have An Edge Paying Roulette

Posted by 89elewis · in r/gambling · 8 months ago

This is a PSA for anyone who thinks they have a strategy or can create a winning strategy for roulette. I've seen videos and reddit posts of people thinking they have found a proven strategy and I can guarantee anyone who thinks they have are wrong. THERE IS NO MATHEMATICAL STRATEGY THAT CAN CREATE A POSITIVE EDGE FOR THE PLAYER. I don't care where you place your bets, there is no combination of any kind that will work and the casino will always have the edge. They're not dumb and no, sorry to tell you or anyone else, you're not Einstein and have somehow been the one to figure out a combination of bets that have cracked roulette. Also please only play single zero / European roulette.

So with that out of the way I can tell you with many years of experience that there is 2 actual ways to have an edge in roulette, and they have to do with physics. But of course these are not guarantee's either.

The roulette wheel spins on bearings and the casino has to occasionally check their roulette wheels and make sure they are perfectly level. As long as its spinning perfectly level then every spin is completely random. But if for any reason the wheel becomes off level enough it can create a small advantage for the player by having balls land in that section of the wheel that is slightly dipped in that direction off level. You would have to track the numbers and see if there is a pattern of a particular part of the wheel that the ball is irregularly landing in. These days this is usually not the case because casinos know that this can create an edge so they make sure they're roulette wheels are always level. But technically if you did find this (which I have once at a casino) you could theoretically have an edge.
I will try to explain this next one as simple as I can. This is also a strategy that I have used successfully many times. In short, if you are at the casino and nobody is at the roulette table (usually late at night or during the work week) you can potentially get an edge. Dealer's are creatures of habit. When the dealer spins the wheel they usually spin it at roughly the same speed every time. They're working and it's just another day for them so it's routine. When they grab the ball and throw it, same thing, it's habit and they're not thinking about it so it's usually the same speed. If you're the only one at the table and you get your bets out fast enough the dealer will not re-spin the wheel and just grab the ball and throw, for at least a few throws. the wheel is going close to the same speed and the dealer is throwing at close to the same speed. if You look at the card that most casino's give you, at times if the dealer is consistent you can start to track a specific section that the ball may potentially land in. It's literally everything to do with the physics of the speed of the wheel and the speed of the ball. BUT this only works at a table by yourself because you don't want to have to wait long between spins and the wheel slows down too much or the dealer has to re-spin the wheel, also it has to be a dealer that is consistent in their motion. And even then it's no guarantee. But I can tell you that it has worked for me many times in the past. I have noticed of recently though that I believe casino's have became wise to this because some dealers re-spin the wheel every time or stop the wheel and spin in reverse. Either of these make this strategy completely unplayable.

Hopefully I explained this well enough, and again physics is the only way to POTENTIALLY get an advantage in roulette but even then it's never a guarantee. Posting this because I don't want anyone wasting their money thinking they have found a mathematical and combination strategy that will work. It won't and you'll eventually lose your money. Hope this helps.

Happy Gambling

You can still win without having an edge. It comes down to money management and using a leveraged strategy. Play a group of twelve numbers with pays 2-1. If it doesnt hit on the first two spins, double your bet in the Martingale system. Then incrementally increase your bet from there so that when it does hit you get all of the previous bets back plus X. Martingale is a sure loss strategy if played without leverage and if you continue on for too many lost outcomes. But if you just go with the strategy I outlined above you must lose ten times in a row before you get to a serious loss expectation. It is not very often that a table with have 10 straight spins without hitting at least one the numbers in a group of 12.

Money management dictates that you leave if you run into one of those stretches of 10 straight losses. At that point you are risking too much to get back to even. And also you leave after you double your bankroll.

You can run a similar leveraged strategy just playing a street or alley and staying with it for many spins. Work through the minimum bet and how much you need to survive for at least 10 spins to know the correct bankroll size.

Like any other roulette strategy you are going to lose if you play long enough. But I have been able to make money on this just playing patiently and leaving when I am up.

Like any other roulette strategy you are going to lose if you play long enough.

Playing long enough includes playing enough separate sessions. Mathematically there's no difference between playing:

2 hours today + 2 hours tomorrow
4 hours today + none tomorrow
1 hour/day for 4 days

The wheel doesn't know or care what day it is or how long you've been playing. If you keep doing this, you will lose overall because as you've correctly admitted, you don't have an edge with this system.

I guess I was not clear. I do NOT believe you can win longer term. I do believe you can employ effective money management to capture a gain on a session. I think as adults most of us understand that roulette is a negative outcome proposition. If we aspire to play for fun, I have found that my strategy gives a better outcome to do so, without 'putting it all on red' or getting too far over my bet limit chasing losses.

Generally the table min and max is there to ensure the martingale "play" cannot go on forever. For example at my casino a standard sign is 5 min and 500 max. That comes into play around 9 or 10 spins if you kept doubling, but also a very expensive way to ensure a 5 dollar profit if you got close to that level.

1 upvotes on reddit

bigoledawg7 · 8 months ago

The strategy I outlined means you do NOT have to keep doubling every spin and that is why it is viable for a short duration (up to 10 losing spins).

$5 total bet: $5
$5 $10
$8 $18
$10 $28
$15 $43

etc...

You can step it up more if you play more aggressively but you can remain disciplined and still have the expectation to collect a win after each spin without going full out crazy Martingale early in the progression.

i mean yea. if you have an experienced dealer, they don’t close the bets immediately. they spin the ball, give the players a few moments then say “no more bets” if you really want to sit at the table and watch how the wheels spinning and when the dealer releases and try and calculate a small subsection of numbers then play multiple bets all in a matter of 15 seconds… you can get an edge.

for the leveling thing they should be doing that every single day when they open the table so that’s kinda bunk. unless it’s some run down old casino that doesn’t gaf anymore but even then.

89elewis · OP · 8 months ago

Looking back I probably didn't do a good enough job explaining what I meant. In regards to your first point, I meant you go off of the previous number landed. If you can start to pick up a pattern because you're at the table alone, things are moving quickly, the dealer is not re-spinning the wheel than you can look at your card and try to determine what general section the ball may land in due to the pattern and physics of the speed of the wheel and ball. So you would have this information at the moment the previous ball landed. Hope that makes sense. And even then it's no guarantee which I said.

About the leveling I agree. I only noticed this one time in my life, and it was the only thing that made sense. The moral of my post was to say that there is no mathematical, odds based strategy that can beat roulette BUT if these conditions are right you may POTENTIALLY find an edge.

I agree with you, that's why I said I only noticed that once in my life. I said that the casinos check that regularly. The point of my post was actually to say that any mathematical, odds based strategy is always nonsense when it comes to roulette. And that the only way you could ever find any potential edge would be physics related i.e. - off level wheel (I only POTENTIALLY noticed once), and a pattern from a dealer due to the physics of speed of the wheel and ball. Really was just wanting people to know and not waste their money listening to someone who says they found a roulette strategy because they don't exist.

The only way to have an edge in roulette – just as in baccarat – is to walk away from the table once you have a relatively big win in the short term (i.e., you beat the odds and won). As long as you stay at that table and keep on playing over the long term, the more the house edge works against you and you will lose your bankroll. Have the inner strength to walk away when the going is good and you will be a winner!

How to win roulette in a casino (my strategy after 6 months playing)

Posted by milina_haniya · in r/OnlineGambling_UK · 6 days ago

I’ve been playing roulette casually for about half a year now, and I finally found what works for me. When people ask how to win roulette in a casino, I always say: keep your sessions short, set a strict budget, and don’t get greedy. I usually stop after doubling a small stake. My last visit to a London casino I left with £50 profit and, more importantly, without that drained feeling you get after a losing streak.

What about you - do you have a routine or strategy that helps you walk away a winner?

Roulette Strategies - Do They Work?

Posted by moby_crypto_dick · in r/roulette · 2 years ago

Roulette is a popular casino game that has been around for centuries, and many players have tried to develop strategies to beat the game. But do these strategies really work, or are they just myths?

First, it's important to understand that roulette is a game of chance, and the outcome of each spin is completely random. No strategy can change the odds of the game, but some strategies can help you manage your bankroll and make smarter bets.

One popular strategy is the Martingale system, which involves doubling your bet after each loss. The idea is that eventually, you will win back your losses and make a profit. However, this strategy can be risky as it requires a large bankroll to sustain a long losing streak, and there is always the risk of hitting the table limit or running out of funds.

Another strategy is the Reverse Martingale system, which involves increasing your bet after each win. This strategy can be less risky but also less profitable, as it requires you to have a winning streak to make a significant profit.

Other strategies include the D'Alembert system, which involves increasing and decreasing your bet by one unit after each win or loss, and the Fibonacci system, which involves betting based on the Fibonacci sequence.

Ultimately, no strategy can guarantee a win in roulette, but some strategies can help you manage your bankroll and make smarter bets. It's important to remember that roulette is a game of chance, and the outcome of each spin is completely random. If you choose to play roulette, only bet what you can afford to lose, and enjoy the game for what it is - a fun and exciting casino game.

I have found a permutation strategy for betting red/ black. I have been 'practicing' this strategy on an online simulator for roulette. I used this same strategy three times with real money at a real casino in person. One time on the actual table and won something like 60$ another time I won 10$ on the video roulette and the third time I lost my bankroll completely. My rule was to stop if I lost half my bankroll, I lapsed in discipline since my bankroll was only $100. When I was 'practicing' using the online simulator I never seemed to miss more then 5-6 spins in a row so even when I got to my stopping point I would always get back to break even or slightly ahead using the martingale betting strategy.

I know that we aren't going to be profitable every session but what felt weird to me was that I might've messed up my betting strategy since I was playing faster then I should accidentally not doubling my bet when I lost or some similar type of mistake. This specific time it felt weird that I was missing so much considering the experience I have on the online simulator plus my previous experience with the at the table and on the similar machine. This may be silly to be skeptical of the machine since I am sure the casino could rig the table game just as easily. Some theories I have which could be completely irrational is that I have been using my 'rewards' card when I play I wonder if their is some type of algorithm that affects the probability based on how frequent you go to the casino and how long you play for...etc since that is the whole point of the card, tracking what you play as well as how often...etc.

I was sort of rushing which isn't good I think I could've just messed up my betting scheme a little bit. I think I might have only hit zero or double zero one time so that wasn't odd and to be expected. The thing that I thought was weird was that when my permutation would signal the probability of black or red being very high and I would bet accordingly I would get an opposing resulting seemingly greater then a statistical anomaly almost as if the program was affected by my 'loyalty' card in some was as it recognized I won money last time and I came back less then a week latter so it was trying to recoup the money they lost or something.

To give an example if the outcomes were B R R B R, I would bet black. The thing that I felt was weird was that the next outcome would be red which happens I would double up my bet and it would be red again, I would double up my bet and it would be red again. I am talking like 6-7 in a row of straight misses all being red when the probability was fairly high it should've been black at least one time out of that 6-7 spin sequence. It definitely happens and maybe I am being a sore loser because I lacked discipline and fumbled more then my bankroll then I should have or does something seem off? The reason I have been playing the machine is the tables are 15$ min so accounting for streaks of misses using the martial system one would easily need 1k minimum to play reasonably comfortable which I cannot afford right now especially if I cannot come out ahead over time. The video only has a 1$ minimum so I can afford to play with a significantly smaller amount.

TL:DR

> Use online simulator to test strategy, It works more then it doesn't

>Gain confidence after testing strategy, Win two out of three times IRL

>Third time I lose 50% of my bankroll leading to bad money management losing all of it

>Maybe I am a sore loser but it felt like the results were going against me in almost an unnatural way like in a not statistically possible way as the machine was rigging it which sounds delusional but it was notable that a significant perhaps a more then normal amount of spins was going against me.

One strategy I’ve seen a lot at the roulette wheel is cover almost every number with hundreds of dollars in chips. If it hits one your numbers, you make a little bit of money after deducting the loss on the other numbers. If it hits one of the few numbers you didn’t cover, you go to your car and get another $500 and try again. Then rinse and repeat.

What is the best strategy for betting in roulette?

Posted by BeerIsGoodBoy · in r/NoStupidQuestions · 1 year ago

In 00 roulette there are 38 numbers which are equally possible to hit. If you are betting on individual numbers, you usually get a payout of 1:35. Obviously the house has the advantage there. There are other ways to bet, with various payouts which all favor the house, including betting twelves and betting a column, both which pay 2 to 1. And in roulette if you hit on a bet, you get to keep that bet, and get the payout. So if you are betting stacks of 10 on a column and hit you win 20, and take your initial 10 back. You can only hit on 12 of 38, so your payout favors the house. Exact same with betting the twelves. 2 to 1 payout on 12 of 38.

So I was wondering why my favorite strategy for betting is not the best. I bet one of the twelves with one stack of 10, and one of the columns with one stack of 10, making a cross to cover 20 total numbers out of the possible 38. If I hit on any of the 16 where they don't cross, I win on either my twelves or column bet and take 30 off the board while only betting 20. If I hit on any of the 4 where they do cross, I take 60 off the board. I am covering 20 total numbers, which is more than half of the 38 possible, and am winning. I know my strategy automatically makes the 0 and 00 losers, but so does any strategy that you don't actually bet on them.

If you bet 20 with your pattern, then your expected value to win back is:

30*(16/38)+60*(4/38) = 18.947

If you would instead bet that 20 on a single number, say 69, you would win 36*20 = 720 if that number comes up, so the expected value would be:

20*36*(1/38) = 18.947

And if you bet it all on black you would win 40 on half the spins (except for 0/00), so your expected winning would be

40*(18/28) = 18.947

See a pattern?

The expected winning on a roulette table are exactly the same no matter what you bet on. There is no strategy, only luck. Spreading the bets out a bit like you do reduces the variance of the outcomes a bit though, but whether that's good or bad is debatable. After all, if you would bet on every number you will have perfectly minimized the variance but then you can only lose, never win.

If your really want to play, then just play whatever numbers, patterns or colors you think are pretty or feel lucky, but don't do it because you think it will actually help you win. There is only luck in roulette.

BeerIsGoodBoy · OP · 1 year ago

But you are talking about the expected payout on a long-term betting strategy. But what if you are only making a single bet? What strategy would be the most likely to win on that single bet? Because the less money you are willing to use dictates the betting strategy if you are always the same 20 each time. For example, if you only have 200 to work with vs having 720 to work with. If you have 720, you bet individual numbers. And the less money you have, the more you want to increase your odds of hitting a number.

The only way to optimize your odds of winning is to play as few spins as possible, (optimally zero of course). Any strategy that keeps you playing longer is bad for you since that increases the number of spins an thus the number to opportunities for the ball to hit 0/00.

If you want to gamble a given amount of chips, then bet them all on one spin. What exactly you bet on doesn't really matter much since everything has the same expected value, maybe spread them out a bit if you want, maybe put them all on one number, that's up to you.

I’m a bit confused. Are you asking, “why doesn’t making several losing bets at the same time win me money?”

When I was a university student I wrote a roulette simulation. I simulated billions and billions of roulette rounds and I used evolutionary strategy algorithms in order to optimize the strategy so that it would return the most profit. I made a mistake in my code because I allowed my agents to "bet on nothing", so basically skip the round. Not surprisingly those were the most "profitable" strategies (the profit was 0 in case its not obvious). So the best strategy according to my research (and what other comments suggest) is to bet on nothing. Everything else will yield negative results for you.

Good strategy for roulette?

Posted by Half_a_fish · in r/gambling · 2 years ago

Considering that there are 36 individual numbers you can bet on all giving you 35 times your bet if you win why shouldn’t you bet the same amount on let’s say 18 numbers simultaneously which gives you a 1/2 chance of winning money even after considering the 17 numbers you lost with, as an example let’s say I bet $10 on half the numbers that’s a $180 bet with a 1/2 chance of winning, statistically you should win half the time so you lose $180 in the first round and win a profit of $170 on the second round.

I never played and I assume that there is a problem with what I’m suggesting so please let me know my mistake.

There's no strategy. No matter what numbers you play or bets you make, given enough time you will eventually lose all your money.

Casinos have no interest in giving you 50/50 odds.

Pretty much this. Roulette is hard to screw up because every bet is the same. At least in craps you can make poor decisions (guilty) as well as smart ones (also guilty) But roulette is just the same no matter how I look at it

How is that different than betting on red or black? Evens or odds? Either way you have close to but slightly below a 50/50 chance. In the long run you’ll lose because you’re a little outnumbered because of the green/0

Best roulette strategy Reddit? Most successful roulette strategy?

Posted by MisterSherwood · in r/DailyGambling · 2 years ago

Hi reddit!

I am looking for the best roulette strategy or the most successful one. So I've been playing roulette for a while now and I’ve been just doing it randomly and it hasn’t been that successful. But recently, I've heard that there's some serious math involved in this game, and I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on a winning strategy.

What are your best roulette strategies? How do you use math to your advantage? I'm ready to step up my game.

Do you have any tips on bet sizes? Are there any patterns or trends you look for?

Additionally you can suggest what is the best online casino to play roulette at, which has the best winning odds or bonuses/rakeback?

Bet a third per spin and if you lose, don't go chasing losses - take a breather and come back with a fresh head ready to go.

And I can't stress this enough - don't blow your wad on those flashy straight-up bets trying to nail a single number. I know the 35:1 payout tempts, but the odds are wicked low. Stick to the basics like red/black or even/odd and grind it out. Way better chance to steadily build your stacks.

Oh and definitely check out 1win to play. They run a , have a bunch of roulette varieties, and cashouts are fast in crypto. Use their welcome bonus to score their juicy offer, for 70 free spins too, I have used this one - 1WIN70FS, should be still valid

Don't take losses too serious and your experience will be 10x better. Hope this helps!

In my experience, I've found the D'Alembert Strategy quite successful. It's a betting strategy based on the assumption that over time, all numbers will come up approximately equally. This means if a certain number hasn't appeared for a while, it may be "due" to appear soon. So, the strategy involves increasing your bet by one unit after a loss and decreasing it by one unit after a win.

The strategy assumes that if you increase your bet after a loss, you'll eventually win, thus recouping your losses and gaining a small profit. Of course, it doesn't guarantee a win and requires a fair amount of time and money to be successful. It's also a safer option than strategies like the Martingale, which require you to double your bet after each loss.

As for bet sizes, I would recommend starting small, especially if you're new to using strategies. This way, you can afford to lose several bets without blowing your bankroll while you get a hang of the strategy.

Now, when it comes to choosing an online casino to play roulette, this is a crucial step. It's true, some platforms are rigged or have mechanisms to prevent players from using strategies, and it's necessary to steer clear from such platforms. I've had a good experience with BetUS Casino, where I haven't faced any such problems. They seem to play fair, and I've been able to successfully apply my strategies there.

I'm currently experimenting with the Andrucci strategy. The idea behind it is that certain numbers on the roulette wheel will show up more frequently as you play. If you're interested, you can give your own strategies a shot on 7Bit casino, which I find pretty reliable. Just keep in mind there's no proof that the likelihood of numbers appearing changes over time. I'll update you on how it goes for me.

Also, if you want to test your strategies on many other games, use the bonus code: AVIATOR on casino 7Bit. You'll get a 150% + 50 FS deposit bonus on your balance.

One strategy I've found pretty interesting is the Martingale system. It's pretty straightforward: you just double your bet after every loss, so when you finally win, you recover all your lost bets plus win a profit equal to your original bet.

As for casinos, I've had a good experience with BetUS Casino, especially playing their instant roulette. They seem to have fair odds, and their bonuses/rakeback offers are decent, which can give you a bit more play for your money.

Best gambling strategies to win

Posted by Haianiarahon · in r/iGamingBonusSeekers · 2 months ago

I’ve been gambling for about a year, mostly sticking to roulette and sports betting with small, safer bets under $100. While I’ve had some big wins, I’ve also experienced losses — and I know most gamblers end up in the red over time. Still, I’m looking for smart, low-risk strategies that could help me profit in the long run. Are there proven methods or systems in roulette or sports betting that actually work? I know many say it's all luck, but I’m curious if there are strategic ways to improve your chances without risking too much money.
