Roulette Systems

Basically, there are two types of roulette systems. The positive progession roulette systems, and the negative progression roulette systems.

In negative progression systems, wagers are raised after losing a bet. The logic behind this system is the frequency of winning sessions, and it assumes that in almost every session, the player will be able to leave on a win. An example is a player that loses 1 dollars, doubles up to 2 dollars, loses again, doubles to 4, loses again, doubles up to 8 dollars and win. Then he starts all over again at 1 dollars and doubles up until he wins.

The most famous of these systems is the Martingale system, and the casino protects itself against this system by adding a limit to the amount a player can bet.

The downside of these roulette systems is that the loosing sessions are rather expensive for the player.

Another method is positive progression - letting a profit ride. In these systems you double the amount of money when you win until a certain limit. For instance, you could double up five times, and then start all over on one dollar again, when you win.

The downside of this system is that the player needs to get a certain amount of consecutive wins.
