Getting the Most Out of the Martingale Roulette System
If you have played roulette for some length of time or researched roulette strategies, then you would no doubt have come across some sort of martingale system.
The martingale system is one of the oldest and most relied upon systems that the gambling world has created.
No matter the table, game, sport or whatever you can place a bet on, if it has statistics or numbers you can rest assured that people will develop a system based on this model.
The basic model is that you increase your wager each time you loose a bet, so you recover your losses on the next bet, while still making a profit.
In roulette the most obvious and basic form of martingale is to double your bet on 50 to 50 shots, like black, red, odds and evens.
What this means is that if you place a $5 bet on red and loose, your next bet should be $10 on red so you win $20 while spending a total $15. This process would continue to double your bets until you win, and you will always be up the $5 initial bet with each streak or time you run the system.
Of course the two downfalls to this system are the obvious fact that it does not take long to reach a bet that you would not be able to cover. For example after $10 comes $20, then $40, then $80, then $160 and very shortly you will be betting in the thousands all for a profit of only $5.
The other downfall is that even if you did have a endless limit of cash to cover these bets, the casinos have a system in place to counter this. Each table has a minimum and a maximum bet or limit, this stops any martingale system from doubling up too much, hence cutting short your possible profits.
You can combat both these problems by knowing when to start the system and when to cut your losses and pull out of the system.
This can be a personal preference based on money and how much you would accept as a loss. But try to watch for patterns and start your system when it is most likely to work in your favor, for example after a streak of 10 reds, start the system by betting on black.
Then to make sure you don't loose everything, have a cut off point where you pull out if the run continues past your comfort level.
