Popular Roulette Strategies
Over the years, gamblers and mathematicians have developed several strategies with which to beat the roulette table. While no strategy or system has ever been proven to work reliably – after all, if one existed, casinos would have to stop offering roulette altogether – they can certainly make this game of chance a little more interesting. In this article, we shall explain how some of these systems work, and what their relative benefits and risks are. If you fancy putting some of these strategies to the test, then you might want to pay a visit to the 32Red online casino, which offers very generous bonuses to new players.

The most famous roulette strategy is the Martingale system, which involves doubling your bet every time you lose, so that the next winning bet will cover all previous losses. It can work in some circumstances, but if you go on a bad losing streak you could end up losing your entire kitty very quickly indeed.
The Labouchere system is seen as a less risky progressive betting strategy than the Martingale. In order to employ this system, the player has to first write out a line of numbers. The size of the bet is determined by adding together the numbers on either end of the line. When the player wins, they cross out these numbers, continuing to work on the smaller line. When the player loses, they add the previous bet to the end of the line. This system is a lot more flexible than the Martingale, as you can choose numbers for the initial line to suit your own preferences.
The Fibonacci system is based on a mathematical sequence of numbers, in which the next number is the total of the two previous numbers added together. The first few numbers of the Fibonacci sequences are as follows:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21
This sequence is applied in a progressive strategy much like the Martingale. However, instead doubling the bet each time you lose, you multiply your bet by the corresponding number in the sequence. So, if you lost three times in a row, you would bet twice your original stake, and if you lost six times in a row, you would bet eight times your original stake. This system reduces the risk that you will lose all your money in a short space of time, although if you go on a long losing run, then you could still lose it all with this system.
