Introduction

Roulette Winning Strategy: 1. Set a target of 100 to 200 chips. Place a unit on number 0, 5 units on line 13-16, and 14 units on numbers 19-36, as shown in the video. Re bet after each loss. Double the bets after each win. Stop once you reach the target and start a new cycle. Apply this system and enjoy the profits. If we bet $1 on red and green or black occurs, then we lose the dollar that we bet. This results in net winnings of -1. The random variable X defined as the net winnings from betting on red in roulette will take the value of 1 with probability 18/38 and will take the value -1 with probability 20/38. Another established concept for the Martingale is the roulette doubling strategy. The concept is quite simple, you place your bet on one of the very outside bets. After every coup you lose, you double your bet, and you keep doing that until you win. The first win will recover all previous losses, plus give you a profit equal to your original bet.


Double Ball Roulette plays like regular roulette, except with two balls. I first saw the game at the 2013 Global Gaming Expo and later at the Tropicana in Las Vegas on February 18, 2014. The Tropicana uses a double-zero wheel.

Later, in November, 2016, I noticed it at an Internet casino using Felt software. Felt uses a single-zero wheel.

You might wonder about how they keep the balls from hitting each other in a physical game. The game uses compressed air to shoot the two balls out of a tube almost simultaneously. They travel at the same speed so the second ball always trails the first one.

You might also wonder if the probability of the two balls landing in the same number is about the expected 1/38, assuming they the two outcomes were completely independent. At least I wondered this and annoyed the game maker with physics questions at the gaming show for much too long about it. He assured me that an independent lab did tens of thousands of spins and the probability of the two balls landing the same number is about the expected 1/38, assuming they two outcomes were completely independent.

The betting layout is mostly the same as standard roulette. With the inside bets, the player has two chances to win, but the pays are less. On the outside bets, both balls must win, but the pays are more. In addition the player may bet that both balls will land in any one number.

Strategy


My advice in any game is to go for the bets with the highest expected return. In the case of a double-zero wheel, the best bet is the inside bets on one single number, at a house edge of 5.33%. The two- and three-number bets are not much worse at 5.54% and 5.89% respectively.

I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't say that the house edge in standard double-zero roulette is lower at 5.26%. However, this is only 0.07% lower than the single-number inside bet in Double Ball Roulette.

Roulette Double Bet On Loss Options


Strategy


As with any game of pure luck, all you can do for yourself is to make the bets with the lowest house edge. In this case it is the single-number inside bet, with a house edge of 2.78%. If that is too volatile for you, the double-number inside bet is not much higher at 2.99%

The Black and Red roulette strategy that you may read below is a very simple strategy, but still a very effective one. This system will be useful to all the players who do not possess a big money balance, unlike Martingale strategy which requires you to double all the bets you have lost. Here is how you need to carry out our black and red roulette system:

As the name of the system tells you, with this roulette strategy, you need to bet on black and red. The betting session starts with you placing a bet of $5 on a color of your choice. You need to continue to bet $5 on the same color until you lose two times in a row. If this happens, you will need to start placing bets of $10 until you either win two times in a row or you lose two times in a row. If you win two times in a row, you decrease your bet to $5. If you lose two times in a row, then you need to raise your bet to $15. The progression looks like this – $5, $10, $15, $20, $25, $30, $40, $50. This strategy may be carried out with initial bet of $1, as well, depending on the bankroll of the roulette player, and then the progression would look like this – $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $8, $10.

As you will see for yourself, our black and red roulette strategy is very effective and you can win quite good with it.
