Advanced Betting Strategies In Roulette 

Advanced Betting Strategies In Roulette 

Roulette first came to life properly in late 18th Century France, when significant alterations were made to Blaise Pascal’s primitive version of the game, known back then as Biribi.
It didn’t take long for this new casino game to gain a following, not least because its inherent dynamism and excitement.

As the 19th Century drew on, however, Roulette ended up being banned in most of Western Europe, something that led to its transfer over the Atlantic to the US.

This was crucial in its new games development, as Roulette became the centerpiece for many of the first Las Vegas casinos, famed for its tantalizing nature.

Fast-forward to the present day and Roulette is still one of the most exciting games you can find in a casino, testimony to the enduring superiority of its design. But enough of the history, read on for a few advanced betting strategies in Roulette.

The Fibonnaci Strategy 

As many avid mathematicians will tell you, the Fibonacci sequence is one of the most prevalent mathematical sequences on earth, visible not only in the human world but also in the wider natural environment.

As such it makes sense to base a betting strategy off of it, does it not?

For those of you that don’t know, the Fibonacci works on the principle that each new number in the sequence is the sum of the two that precede it.

For instance, it starts like this: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 etc. Now, transferring this into a legitimate betting strategy is really quite simple – after each losing bet you just follow the sequence.

D’Alembert Strategy 

The French mathematician Jean le Rond d’Alembert is famous for the work he did in the field of probability, and it is only right, therefore, that he gets a betting strategy named after him.

This is a tactic that is perfect for players with relatively small budgets, because it doesn’t allow for too many crippling losses.

So, the basic idea of the D’Alembert strategy is that you increase your bet by £1 after every loss, and decrease it by £1 after each win.

This sets it apart from a similar strategy called the Martingale, as with this one you only double your bet after each loss, something that more often than not leads to bigger losses than it does wins.

Labouchere Stategy 

Thought up by a man called (you guessed it) Henry Labouchere, this tactic is one of most complex when it comes to Roulette betting strategies, however it is also one that can end up paying the most dividends.

It is similar to the Fibonacci in that you use mathematical sequences to dictate your bet amounts, however here the player is given the chance to make up their own sequence, so it can be preferable.

It works like this:

  1.       Write down a sequence of numbers.
  2.       Add all of these numbers together. This will be the potential profit of your sequence.
  3.       Each bet you make should be equal to the first and last numbers in the sequence.
  4.       If you win remove these numbers from the start and end of your sequence. For your next bet you will now use the new first and last numbers.
  5.       If you lose you must add the amount of your bet to the end of the sequence.
