3 Roulette Systems to Suit Your Playing Style
Posted by Harry Kane on Sunday, February 12, 2017
Let’s start with a basic assertion; roulette is a game of chance where results are dictated by random number sequences.
This not withstanding, however, it is possible to apply logical thought and strategy to prosper when playing roulette online or through your mobile. In fact, there are a huge number of individual strategies available, each of which offer unique insight and advantages that are tailored to suit specific styles of play and appetites for risk.
Your task is to choose the option that best suits you, so we have decided to create this brief guide to help you make your selection. So, here are three roulette systems that are suitable for conservative, experienced and risk appreciative players:
The Whittaker System for Experienced and Numerically-skilled Players
This system, which should be avoided by inexperienced players, is suitable for those who are knowledgeable and blessed with numerical ability. It has a simple premise, in which you place bets in a sequence and execute wagers based on a negative progression system.
Your initial bet is considered as a unit (let’s say £5) and this is the lowest wager you will place during the game. If you lose, the next bet should be the sum of the previous two wagers, as the sequence builds and your commitment increases. Once you win, you lower your wager down to a single unit and repeat the process.
This is a complex system that requires excellent memory and numerical skill, although it can deliver large wins that outweigh multiple losses. Due to the nature of the strategy, however, be sure to stick to even, odd, red and black options to minimise the amount of consequential losses and safeguard your bankroll.
The Parlay System for Inexperienced and risk-averse players
As simple as it is caution, the Parlay strategy is ideal for novice players or those with a risk-averse outlook. Once again you will need to select an original bet value, although we recommend keep this low due to the nature of the game and the way that betting sequences unfold. When you experience a loss you continue to place your original bet, scaling your efforts until you finally succeed. After a win you add your winnings to your original bet, and during a successful streak you will find yourself playing a progressive system and multiples of your initial wager.
Over time, you will find that while you may experience more losses than wins you have an excellent chance of finishing a session in the black. It is ideal for risk-averse players, as you maintain a minimum bet when on a losing streak and multiply your wagers when you win. Once again, we recommend adhering to even, odd, black and red wagers wherever possible, as these offer the most favourable odds and should increase your chances of winning.
Even if you are an experienced play who remains caution by nature, the Parlay system is one that you will probably feel the most comfortable.
The Lucky Number System for the Bold and the Daring
While we have recommended this system for players who are brave and daring, we should perhaps caveat this by saying that you may also need a fair amount of playing capital to succeed. This risk-laden style places great demands on your courage and bankroll, particularly if you play in online games with high, maximum betting limits. One thing is for sure; however, when used successfully this strategy can deliver huge returns and considerable rewards to players.
This is another negative progressive system, but on this occasion high-risk wagers are placed to maximise returns during winning streaks. We recommend playing a French or European iteration of the game, where you can select one from 37 available numbers and build your betting strategy upon this. You should select this digit for every bet, on the basic premise that the odds (37/1) will dictate recurring success over the course of a typical playing session. Start with a minimum betting unit at the beginning of the game, before increasing this by a further unit with every loss.
This will gradually build the value of your wager, hopefully delivering large but sporadic returns over time. After a win you start the process from scratch, but your bankroll should have increased during this process and successful players will finish with more money than they started. On a final note, try to avoid pre-empting number sequences and looking for recurring digits, as this is a gamblers fallacy that holds little value.
Above all else, be prepared to sustain initial losses and stay consistent in your wagers. You cannot begin to waver on your choice of number after a handful of bets, as this undermines the entire principle of the strategy and translates into wasted capital.
