The Best Roulette Strategies – Martingale Fibonacci and More

To be clear, while roulette strategies won’t help you lower the house edge, they will help to improve your casino gaming experience and optimise your betting strategy. Here we address some of the most common strategies being used today.

It’s an effective roulette strategy (doubling your bet every time you lose), but every time the table maximum is reached and/or you run out of money, it will not serve you well.

Martingale

A famous favourite of old-school gamblers is the Martingale roulette strategy because it seems like it should work: doubling your bet every time you lose will, sooner or later, catch the elusive upwards trend that will drastically boost all your bankroll balances. Of course, that’s all very well if you don’t lose your bet, but then you might just end up losing it anyway!

However, the Fibonacci roulette betting strategy will give you safer returns over time. As you increase the bet after every loss only by one element of the sequence (and not by two times), the losses will be limited and you will be able to grow your bankroll slowly.

Jean le Rond d’Alembert’s System is another way to play without being able to use Martingale roulette. This positive progression system of gambling goes up by one unit after every win for an even money outside bet and comes back down after a loss. It’s more volatile than Reverse Martingale, but the returns work out to be much more consistent.

Fibonacci

The Fibonacci betting strategy for roulette is a clever strategy that could help you win a lot more while playing roulette. Although not as foolproof as the Martingale betting systems, the Fibonacci strategy improves your chances of winning by limiting your losses while developing a system of increasing your bets slowly over time. However, as with all strategies, it should be used carefully and never introduced to beginners as they will empty their bankroll quickly.

Because the second digit in the ‘Fibonacci system’ is always your previous bet size, it’s a negative progression or escalator system, one in which you should increase the size of each new bet the further you travel down the spiral of loss-making wheels. This all even money outside bets in roulette, and can certainly do for a while to increase your bankroll, but even the best winning strategic sequences cannot reduce the house edge. Only fitness before sex reduces the one and only real and known edge in the game, and that’s just after a nice brisk walk. Start small, bet the minimum, increase your stakes after a loss-making run, and see how far you can get away with your mad money before your river flows to reward.

Paroli

Although less safe than the Martingale System, D’Alembert Strategy is one of the less risky roulette strategies because unlike the Martingale System it does not obligate you to increase your stake after each loss – it increases it after each win, but only by one unit. While this helps to recuperate your bankroll from further losses at a faster rate than other strategies do, it feels, at the same time, that this strategy prolongs the loss so as for the losses not to recover themselves quickly enough.

A second negative? One can’t take advantage of lucrative streaks of more than three units (no payouts will ever be more than three times your stake, the highest possible payout being 36:1, if three units’ worth of bets on black have been successful). So, the Roulette Betting System won’t make your casual gambling session profitable but it can still give your gambling session some focus and control – structuring the action, if you like – and thus will ultimately depend on your betting style, goals and luck.

Andrucci

The Andrucci roulette strategy – possibly one of the most acclaimed system – consists in following the results to see if there are any trends in them (there are trends), and using lot straight bets (the best returns) as well – all this to (theoretically) have an advantage over the casino. However, even systems as simple as this can be tricky to use due to the fact that one needs a considerable amount of money for bankroll.

Another roulette strategy that fits into the non-progressive group (it’s the reverse of Martingale) is the d’alembert system. Bets are much easier to size as each loss adds a further unit; and when you have a win, you only have to reduce it by one.

Reverse Martingale will help you increase those winnings, but ultimately, whether you win or lose at roulette is all down to chance. It is unlikely that you will achieve three consecutive wins, so maybe you need to predetermine your profit target or maximum betting increment that will help to limit your losses? And then there is Paroli system that can help you to limiting those losses further.
