An article about the Martingale betting system and how it works for roulette.
The Martingale betting system is a simple strategy that is used to increase your chances of winning at roulette. The basic premise of the Martingale betting system is that you keep doubling your bet (or bet amount) until you lose, then you stop.
If you win, you keep betting the same amount until you lose again. Here’s how it works in practice:.
1. Choose your bet amount. This should be a number that is slightly bigger than the minimum bet required at roulette (usually €0.
10 or €0.25).
2. Start by making your first bet.
Place this bet in the red/black slot on the roulette table, and select the number of black chips (or “points”) that you want to wager.
3. If the roulette ball lands on black, then you win your original bet and receive all of the black chips in that row (and any adjacent rows if there are any).
You can then place a new bet using any of the remaining chips (or “points”).
4. If the roulette ball lands on red, then your original bet is lost and no money changes hands – your original chip stack remains where it is on the table, and you can place a new bet using any of the remaining chips (or “points”).
5. Repeat steps 3-4 as long as you continue to win bets, or until you lose a bet and have to start over at step 1.
(Note that if at any point during step 4 the roulette ball lands on black but one or more of your original chips are still in play, those chips will still count as part of your original wager – they’re just not available to use in subsequent bets.).
6. When you reach step 5 (win a bet but lose all your chips), it’s time to stop playing – this is called “hitting bottom.
” You can either place another small bet using only what’s left of your original chip stack, or declare victory and cash out immediately.
