What about roulette winning

[Buc]

Ive never got carried away with gambling. I gamble a fair bit. Every other day ill bet on fitba but its never been huge bets (the odd few) but ive always been about accumulators and doubles. Fiver here or tenner to win back 50-100 odd quid but nothing over the top.

Glad it didn't ruin you completely Mondo min

Fiver here and a tenner there that's about me.

It's utter boll0cks Buc and an old method.,( think it's called the martindale technique). The one thing, which the guy in the video fails to mention is that each table has a maximum you can bet ! This is the one factor which fu.cks up this method.As someone already mentioned the same colour can come up twenty times in a row.
Say you started doubling up starting from £1 and got a few reds in row when you were betting black. £1,£2,£4 ,£8,£16,£32. Thats six reds in a row, not uncommon, and you have bet £63. You now have to Risk/bet another £64 just to be £1 up!

Red comes up again few times £64,£128,£256,£512. Each time you are betting to be £1 up from where you started !

Now you have to bet £1024 BUT you cant because the table maximum bet is probably £1000. Humped .

Tried this years ago and got a wee bit lucky but I was at the £512 a couple of times, and realised how stupid it was.

You're right about the table limits. If you didn't have table limits then you could win every time with Martingale betting, but you certainly can't do that in a casino.

However the fact that you'll eventually lose with this system doesn't make it worthless. It's no worse than any other roulette system by that measure. Every roulette system will result in you losing in the end. It's impossible to win at roulette consistently. What Martingale has going for it is that if you happen to be in a casino and just want to play roulette for a while for fun without losing all of your chips in five minutes then there's a reasonable chance you could survive a couple of hours and end up with more money than you started.

I was in Las Vegas for a weekend a few months ago and I used it for that purpose. It was just a flight stopover and we wanted to play roulette for a while at the hotel without spending a fortune. We basically had $155 of chips (which is enough to lose five spins in a row on the $5 table) and agreed that if we lost it all we wouldn't play any more. We sat at the table for a few hours, some waitress in a low cut top kept bringing us free drinks and we ended up with more money than when we started. If you look at it that way it's fine, but if you're trying to make your fortune with it then it's a nonsense.

Agree with that sancho.Made a wee bit myself but definitely not a long term strategy .
