Roulette Strategy

Whenever you play roulette it is best if you do it with some kind of a strategy or at least a method. Below you will find many different strategies that you can use when you play.

Also before we go any further, you probably know that there are loads of roulette eBooks and software programs on the Internet that you have to pay for. All of these have been discussed in detail on the roulette system reviews page.

Before we go into roulette strategy in more detail you should remember the following points. Online Roulette uses a random number generator that no one can predict.

Therefore you're never going to be winning on every single spin, that's impossible. If you read a web page that is telling you otherwise, my advice is to simply close the web page and forget all about it.

Secondly, remember that roulette has a house edge and no sequence of bets or combination of bets can overcome this. While strategies can certainly help you, remember that the odds are built into the layout of the game.

Ok now that's out of the way, let's look at different strategies in more detail.

Martingale Roulette Strategy

Many people, maybe yourself included have tried using the Martingale Roulette System. It's very simple to use and it's normally based on even chance bets such as red or black.

All you do with it is bet on one colour and then continually increase your bets after every loss until you get a win. This can work great at first but if you get a losing run, it will cost you big time. There are also a few variations such as the Reverse Martingale and the Super Martingale.

D'Alembert Strategy

Like the Martingale, the D'Alembert is most commonly used on red/black betting. It's a very easy and relatively save strategy to use although the potential return is also pretty small. All you do is increase your bets by 1 after a loss and decrease them by 1 after a win.

There's also an Aggressive D'Alembert (which is a riskier version) and a Reverse D'Alembert where you increase your bets after a win instead of after a loss.

Labouchere Strategy

The Labouchere is based upon a line of numbers which you determine before you start playing. This is one of the more complicated strategies and it will require a bit of practice so that you can become accustomed to the rules.

Fibonacci Strategy

This is a sequence of numbers that I've heard wasn't initially intended for roulette, but here I am talking about it as a roulette strategy. The Fibonacci is based upon betting the amount of your last two bets added together over and over until you win.

It isn't as risky as the Martingale although your bets still can get out of control if lady luck isn't on your side. You can also use a Reverse Fibonacci which attempts to ride winning streaks.

Cover The Table

There are several ways of covering a fairly large portion of the wheel which is discussed on the cover the roulette table page. However what you tend to find with this kind of strategy is that the more of the table you cover, the more you need to bet and the less you win on each spin.

Finally

The above methods really are the only roulette strategies that you can use. Obviously you can tweak them a bit and apply them to various parts of the table but that's about as far as roulette strategy goes.

As we said at the top of the page, there are many roulette systems that you need to pay for on the Internet but most of them are just rewrites of the above information. As we've already said, read the roulette system reviews page if you want to learn more about them.
