A Guide to Roulette Betting Strategies
While the roulette ball has no memory, mathematicians have continually devised complex betting systems.
Understanding these systems adds an exciting layer of structure to an otherwise random game.
The Most Famous Roulette System
The Martingale is undoubtedly the most famous and widely used betting strategy in the world.
If you bet $10 on red and lose, your next bet on red should be $20, and so on.

The Fibonacci Roulette System
This strategy is considered safer and less aggressive than the steep progressions of the Martingale.
Because the bet sizes increase slower, it is easier on your bankroll during a losing streak.
The D'Alembert Betting System
Conversely, you decrease your wager by one single unit following a winning spin.
It protects your bankroll from rapid depletion but limits your potential for massive quick wins.
