There are a large number of different betting strategies, and fans often go into great detail discussing them, trying to maximize their own Roulette experience. The aim of these strategies is to help you to manage your bankroll effectively, so that you have a better chance of making a profit.
We don’t have the space to cover all of the different strategies in depth, so here are the top 3 to help you get started:
Martingale Strategy
The Martingale strategy is one of the most famous betting strategies still used by players. It’s quite a simple strategy to understand, even for novices. Just choose an even money bet, High/Low, Odd/Even, or Red/Black.
Then, choose your starting stake value. If you lose, you double your stake. This continues until you win. The idea behind this is that, by doubling your stake, it will cover all of your previous losses when you eventually win.
Paroli Strategy
The Paroli strategy is based on capitalising on winning streaks. It unfolds as follows: First, you choose a stake level, such as $1. If you lose at any point while the strategy is in play, you instantly return to your original stake level of $1. When you win, you double your stake.
So, after your first win, your next wager would be $2. If you win, again it doubles to $4. Another win after this would increase your stake to $8. No matter what happens after this wager, you always return to your original stake. This means you’re only ever doubling your bets with what you have already won, and you don’t continue doubling forever — as that would guarantee an eventual loss.
Alembert Strategy
The D’Alembert strategy can be described as a blend of both the Martingale and Paroli strategies. It works by setting out what a single unit is worth: for this example, it would be worth $10. If you lose your first bet, you will increase your stake by one unit. In this case, your next bet would be $20.
If this loses again, you increase the stake by a unit once more, to $30. Every time you lose, the stake increases by a single unit. When you win, you decrease the stake by a unit.
So, if the $30 bet wins, the next wager after that would be for $20. If you are on the original stake level of $10 and you win, your stake stays the same for the next bet.
