How to Win Roulette Using Betting Systems

- July 26, 2021 By Riley Wilson -

Staking Strategy Roulette

Betting systems are a relatively controversial topic among gamblers. Some say they’re the key to victory – others claim they’re just a quick way to go broke with a few mistakes. Either way, they’re a way of getting some control over a game you may not otherwise have any influence over. A game such as roulette. Thankfully, betting systems in roulette are quite common and easy to use.

We’ve already briefly covered betting systems before, giving you a general overview of the idea. In this roulette strategy guide, however, we’ll focus solely on achieving success in this specific game.

Even Money Betting Systems

Even a glancing understanding of how betting systems work will make this next point clear. Most betting systems require a specific type of bet to work – an even money bet. Essentially, a 50/50 shot. You’re looking for wagers that have the same shot at losing and winning, and pay roughly double your stake.

Thankfully, wagers like these are plentiful in roulette. There are usually 6 of them in total: Red, Black, Odd, Even, Low (1 to 18), and High (19 to 36.) Which one of these you choose to play doesn’t really matter. All of them have a 48.6% probability of success once you account for roulette house edge. All of them also pay out 1:1.

So why does this matter? Well, the average progressive wagering system follows a similar pattern as the famous Martingale. You need to do a certain action whenever you win, and a different one in case of a loss. For instance, Martingale is a negative progression system, which means you increase the stake whenever you lose. For the math to work out, though, you need a more-or-less equal chance of winning and losing. Otherwise, you may end up driving the stake sky-high with just a few consecutive losses.

As simple as it sounds, that’s pretty much all there is to roulette betting systems. Different systems use different conditions and actions, of course, but that’s where the differences end.

There are quite a few roulette strategies like these – Paroli, Laboucherre, D’alembert, 1-2-3-6, and so on. When using them, our advice is to just pick a bet like Red/Black and stick with it. And no it’s not because you’re more likely to win that way – each spin has the same probability of success. However, not changing the bet every round makes things easier to keep track of.

Single Round Roulette Systems

Now, the other kind of roulette strategy does not rely on repeatedly playing the same wager over many rounds. Instead, these are all about placing several wagers in a single round and maximizing the chances of success. Perhaps it will be easier to explain with an example.

A roulette strategy to win this way looks much like a simple Call bet. These also include wagers like Neighbors or so-called Section bets. Essentially, these are multi-faceted wagers that place several inside or outside roulette bets with a single wager. However, most of these are based on the physical location of a pocket on the roulette wheel or similar factors. For instance, Tiers du Cylindre covers a third of the wheel while Final en Plain covers all numbers with a certain digit in them.

However, what we want to do is cover the board in a more strategic way, relatively speaking. The perfect example is the famous Romanosky Strategy. It’s a famous one, and probably the most effective way of increasing the odds of success in roulette. The house edge remains the same, mind you – you’re just decreasing your profits in exchange for maximum safety.

The Romanosky Strategy

So how does the Romanosky work? It’s pretty simple, really. First of all, you’ll need to divide your stake into 9 equal units. Next, you just want to cover most of the board with two Dozens bets. It’s entirely up to you which of the three you’ll bet on, as long as you put down 3 units on each. Next, you also play two Corner wagers in the uncovered Dozen section. The idea is to cover as much of the roulette bet table as possible. For, if you picked the 1st and 2nd  Dozen groups, you should play the 26/27/29/30 and the 31/32/34/35 corners. This leaves you with just 5 uncovered numbers on the whole wheel.

All in all, you’ll have a solid 84% chance to win with each spin. However, each win will barely cover the initial stake, which is something to keep in mind. Also, it’s worth noting that plans like these are not classic roulette betting systems. They’re more likely to simply be called strategies, but they serve a similar purpose.

Of course, this is just another example of wagering strategies to win roulette. The core idea is to combine different stakes and wagers to make complex wagers. These can be more profitable in the long run, but can also be substantially more fun than the typical inside and outside bets.
