Nowadays, roulette systems are becoming the seemingly traditional way of playing the game. An increasing number of players are relying on roulette systems that claim to beat the odds of the game and increase the player's chances of breaking the bank. In fact, there are even a few systems that claim to give the player a 100% guarantee of winning. Of course, no one in his right mind would ever believe such a claim, but you'd be amazed at the number of people that buy into this sort of hokey.
Roulette systems are designed for one thing: beating the house edge and increasing the player's chances of winning. Most of the popular roulette systems today involve some sort of progression systems, while a few others are non-progression. You can find significant differences in both types of systems, as well as distinct strengths and weaknesses of each.
Progression systems can be played in two ways: positive or negative progression. Both of these systems are designed in an attempt to beat the odds, and both are capable of being played over a long period of time.
Let's talk about positive progression first. This is also known as pyramiding. It works like this: once a player has won, his winnings are then used to place even larger bets at the next spin. This can bring in a lot of money if successful, but you run the risk of wiping out your winnings with just one loss. In order to leverage this, some crafty players pocket a percentage of their winnings and use the rest to increase their bets.
Negative progression play, on the other hand, requires that the bets be increased after each and every loss. The Martingale system uses this type of progression, calling for a raised bet for every loss. The odds are being played in expectation of a win, in which case the player gets to walk away with substantial winnings, even if the session started out rather poorly. One of the biggest problems of using a negative progression system is that the player's bankroll must be sufficiently large enough to sustain heavy losses during the first sessions.
Of course, casinos are aware that most players are using various types of systems and strategies in an attempt to beat the odds, and they are increasingly taking action to counter these systems. Betting limits for each roulette session have been established in several casinos to discourage players from using progression systems. Some casinos have even established limits on the amount of playing sessions in a row that a player can play in. All of these countermeasures show that these systems do have an effect at least on the winnings and losses of casinos.
If you want to buck these limits, you can play roulette without using progression systems at all. There are other ways of playing roulette; ways that don't need huge bankrolls or increasing bets over time. Some of these systems require you to observe which numbers the ball tends to land on after spins. Other systems use other methods for “predicting” which way the ball will land. There's a glaring feature that these systems overlook, though. None of them offer you any way to have some control over the odds.
Before using any type of roulette system, try to consider the amount of bankroll you have available, the time you can spend playing, and the kind of odds that you're facing. There are systems that may work well for you, but there are also several systems that could just be a waste of your time and money.
