Have you ever seen someone placing bet after bet on the roulette table. How about watching that bet double, quadruple, and so on. Many gamblers have the belief that you can play a system such as Martingale, High 12 or Low 12 and when a ton of money on the game. Unfortunately these gambles are never going to strike it rich. The formula -x + (-y) = -z shows where the impossibility occurs. When you add two negative numbers, x and y, you still end up with negative number z. No regressive betting system will ever prevail on roulette.

I know you may be skeptical and think that red or black, even or odd, 1-18 or 19-36, should pretty much hit 50% of the time with the exception of the 0 and 00. I have seen 11 blacks in a row. I have also seen huge droughts of even, odd or any other combination. Just think if you were playing Martingale where your bet would be: 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280, 2560, and you still haven't made it to the 11th bet, not to mention you have reached the table max and bet over $5000 just to win a $5 bet when you eventually do win.

I have also seen many gamblers bet inside ...
... systems, such as a certain pocket or a certain set of numbers placed across the board. These are no different than the outside betting strategies, even placing flat bets on these numbers will have you no better than the house edge of 5.3%.

The best way to have a chance at winning roulette is one of two ways. The first is biased wheel play. This is a very laborious process. To obtain a biased wheel you must collect at least 5000 consecutive spins of the wheel, and if the casino sees that their wheel is biased, it is sure to be closed for maintenance. The second is to learn to wheel track. This takes much practice to learn, and a very sharp eye. You must also process the data very quickly in order to get your bets placed before the dealer calls bets off.

In conclusion, if played for fun roulette can be entertaining, but mostly a loosing game. If you have a chance to learn wheel tracking, or stumble upon a biased wheel, the best of luck to you.
