Yes, the roulette wheel can be beaten short term, and no, it can not be beaten long term. The mathematical advantage is and always will be on the side of the casino. There will always be winners but this does not concern the casinos because there will also be losers and the casino’s mathematical ” house edge ” will always ensure that there are more losers than winners over the long term.

Do a google search and you will find many websites and system sellers promoting their “unbeatable” roulette systems, and telling you how they gave up their job to do this full-time. Please don’t be fooled. Roulette, by it’s very nature is a game of pure chance. We can not apply any skill or judgement to predict the outcome of the next spin, nor can our actions influence the game in any way. You can certainly apply some progressive staking systems to make big profits from roulette and you will almost certainly get away with it for some time. The day will come however, when you hit that losing streak and your profits are wiped out. Maybe not today, next week or next month but that day will surely come if you play roulette every day. If anyone tries to convince you that they have a system that is guaranteed to win at roulette.. don’t believe it. If you only ever take one piece of gambling advice let it be this… YOU WILL NEVER EARN A LIVING PLAYING ONLINE ROULETTE!

There are many roulette systems out there and their basic principles have all been used for centuries in one form or another. We will just look at one of them:

THE MARTINGALE SYSTEM is downright dangerous. The system involves betting on the 50/50 chance outcomes which are known as “outside bets”. These are red/black and odd/even. It should be noted that these are not true 50/50 bets because there is always the chance that the ball will land on the green zero pocket (0). This will always give the casino a slight advantage. The American roulette wheel has an extra pocket, the double-zero (00) which effectively doubles the house edge and should be avoided at all costs.

The system simply involves betting a small amount and then doubling your stake after every losing spin until you win. In theory it would be a perfect system if:

1) You have unlimited funds (who has?)

2) The casinos allowed unlimited bet sizes (they don’t). You will reach a point where the required stake is higher then the table limit.

Some people have the belief that if they have had 2 or 3 losing spins in a row that their luck must change soon because the ball must be due to land on red soon. This is a dangerous misconception. Does a roulette ball have a memory and think that ” it’s about time that I landed on red “? Of course it doesn’t. Your chances of winning the next spin are exactly the same as the previous spin.

Is online roulette any different from traditional casino roulette? The only difference is that the game is quicker. The probabitlity of winning or losing is exactly the same. Some people may try to convince you that if you have had a losing run the chances of your 50/50 bet winning are much better because the software must provide an even distribution of numbers. This is absolute nonsense. Online roulette software uses a RNG (random number generator) which does exactly as it’s name suggests… it generates numbers randomly, just as in real life. Over an infinite number of spins you will get an even distribution of numbers but there will be short-term fluctuations, which will lead to losing streaks and winning streaks.

As stated previously, if you do use a roulette system you will almost certainly profit short-term but over the long-term the casino’s mathematical edge will defeat any system. Check out www.bankbooster.com/roulette/
