How To Beat Roulette - Martingale System

By David Morris

I've spoken about the Martingale betting system before, but in this article I'm going to go into a bit more detail about how you can actually apply it to the game of roulette and exactly how you should be using the Martingale betting system to place your bets.

In case you don't know, the Martingale betting system works by putting into place a mathematical system of raising your bets so that any losses are covered. Don't worry, you won't have to remember exactly how to do the mathematics side of things, only a basic knowledge of how it works and how to implement it.

The best way to start betting with the Martingale betting system is to begin betting using the lowest amount possible. For example, if the table's lower betting limit is $1, then begin betting with $1. If it's $5, then begin betting with $5. A good thing to keep in mind is that you should have at least ten times the lower betting limit in your bankroll when beginning to bet so that you are covered for a few losses - and trust me, they will happen.

So, start betting on red for example with $5 and if you win, simply bet again on red with another $5. Keep doing this until you lose a round. When you do finally lose a round of betting - which you will eventually - double your bet. So in this case if we'd lost a round of betting we would raise to $10. If we win this round it means we have covered out loss of the previous round as well as made a profit. If we lose again however, we would bet again, this time doubling to $20. Once you win again, simply begin again with $5.

This system of betting in roulette can stand to make you a decent amount of money, though will only work in the short term. The reason for this is because you have to constantly raise, you are only covered for six consecutive losses. There are much better strategies for betting and beating roulette, you'll just have to look for them!
