Roulette's Easy Does It Strategy

First, we try to find the right casino, preferably one that has only a single 0 on the wheel. There are a few in Nevada that have this feature and, offhand, I can think of three, The Golden Nugget and the Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas and the Nevada. The system will work on a double 00 wheel, but why give anything to a casino?

The system is set to win money slowly, but still can give us a healthy sum. We want to start with a sufficient bankroll. To make a minimum $1 bet and a maximum $32 bet, we should start with $200 for every session.

Our initial bet is always $1.

We are using a system based on the fact that we can't forecast the next spin of the wheel. Here, what we are trying to do is forecast, at random, the next spins of the wheel, counting on the fact that we can't really forecast them correctly. Thus, we will take advantage of our ignorance.

Here's the system, step by step:

1. We write down on a pad, in random order, the next six spins of the wheel, in whatever order we wish. We are only interested in the even money propositions. For purposes of our notation, we will refer to red as R, black as B, odd as O, even as E, high as H, and low as L.

We now make out notations on three separate columns, which might look like this:

H E R H O B L O R L O B H O B L E B

It doesn't matter that there are more Os than Es, or that B predominates over R. What we want is a random sample.

The odds against forecasting six spins in a row are 32-1. That's what we're banking on, that we can't do it.

To take advantage of this fact, we play a doubling up or martingale system, doubling our bets after a losing bet. We bet on each of the three possible even money choices and, as soon as we make a win on any one of them, we discontinue that one and concentrate on the others. As soon as we have won all three, we write out six more random choices for the three possibilities and start over again. By the time each sequence is over, we will have won $3. The winnings will mount up rapidly, so rapidly you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Having made our selections, we now place a $1 bet on H, E and R, our selection from above.

Suppose the first number that comes up is 13. 13 is low (L), odd (O), and black (B). We have lost all out bets, and so we bet $2 on H, O and B. Number 4 comes up now.

4 is B, E and L. Having won on B, we end that column and concentrate on the first two columns.

For our third bet, we bet L and O, our random choices from above, $4 on each.

7 now comes up. 7 is L and O, and we close out our selections with a net win of $3. We now write out three columns again, with random picks on either L or H, E or O, and R or B. We again start with $1 bets.

The American wheel, at the average table, spins 90 times an hour. With this many spins, our profits should multiply quickly. If we can win $3 in an average of 5 spins, we can win $54 an hour.

I have cut the system off at 6 spins, which gives us a lot of leeway, but there will be times when we will have six losses in a row. That is bound to happen. When it does, we lose $63. But this will be more than offset by our winnings.

To play more conservatively, we may decide to even out on our third bet. Instead of betting $1, $2, and $4, we can make our third bet $3, and, if it wins, we're even. If we lose the third bet, our next bet is $6, then $12, then $24, then $48. We still have our bankroll, but have allowed ourselves another spin. Now, the odds against losing 7 in a row is 64-1.

Let's compare the two progressions:

Original Conservative 1. $1 $1 2. $2 $2 3. $4 $3 4. $8 $6 5 $16 $12. 6. $32 $24 7. ---- $48

Try this system at home first. Buy a cheap wheel at any toy store and test it out. Most of the wheels you can purchase will have two zeros, but you notice how you will win anyhow. When you are satisfied that it can work, then try it out in earnest at a casino.

With a run of luck, you'll make a nice sum of money. It's a good, simple system to use, and you'll be able to play it leisurely, sitting down, with no interference from casino personnel. They say they welcome all systems players in the American casinos, and they say it with a sneer, but they may change their tone when you walk away with their cold cash.
