Roulette is a difficult game to play, but some strategies can improve your winning odds. As a disclaimer, we want to say that these strategies do not guarantee a win. They merely help you manage your bets better. Today, we will reveal several roulette strategies to improve your winning odds. In the end, choose the one that suits you the most.
Martingale System
The Martingale system is an easy one where the only thing you do is double your bet if you lose. It is based on the principle that you are going to win eventually. By the time you win, you will recover your losses because you bet twice as much as you lost.
However, this strategy only applies to even money bets in a casino online. It means that you can only use it on black/red, odd/even bets.
You must also bet small amounts only, as doubling your bet if you lose can easily take a toll on your bankroll. After a win, you must go back to your original bet.
Here is an example of how it works from a bankroll of $100.

As you can see, you still come out with a profit of $2 at the end of 10 rounds. The main problem with this betting system is that if you lose ten times, you get lost big time. If you double your bet ten consecutive times, you will lose $512 at the end of ten rounds.
D’Alembert System
Like the Martingale, the D’Alembert System only works with even-money bets. However, instead of doubling your bet after losing, you add one unit to your original bet. After a win, you decrease your bet by one unit.
Does it really work? Yes, it does, but you need the right sequence to happen. If not, the system is flawed, and you can also lose. So, let us say that your unit is $1 per bet. Below is a possible outcome from a $50 bankroll.

At the end of ten rounds, you still get to win $3. The difference between this and the Martingale is that you do not get to lose a lot of money. With Martingale, it takes a really bad sequence of ten bad bets, and you lose a lot.
The D’Alembert is an excellent strategy for patient players who do not mind earning a few dollars. At best, you should use this if you only want to be entertained.
Grand Martingale Strategy
Like the basic Martingale system, the goal of this strategy is to recover your previous losses. It only applies to even bets.
The main difference between the grand and the simple Martingale is that the grand system adds one unit to the doubled bet after losing. Let us say that your unit is $1 per bet. If you lose, you bet $2 and then add one unit of $1, which totals $3 for the next round.
If you win, you go back to your original unit of bet, which, in this case, is $1. To demonstrate, below is a table to show possible results. The bankroll for this example is $50.

As you can see, you come out with a big profit of $11 out of a $50 bankroll in a matter of ten rounds. The key here is that instead of merely recovering your money, you also get to double your extra bet if you win.
Fibonacci Roulette Strategy
The last system is the Fibonacci, where you must follow a sequence of bets. It is difficult to memorize, so we suggest you carry a cheat sheet with you. The Fibonacci sequence entails that the next number is equal to the sum of the previous two.
Here is a sample sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21…
You can only apply this betting system in even money bets. Like the other systems discussed earlier, you increase your bet every time you lose. If you win, you move backwards two sequences.
Here is an example with a $50 bankroll:
|
ROUND |
BET |

As you may have observed, you are aggressively increasing your bet if you lose, so you recover your previous losses. If you win, you slow down on the betting, so you do not lose a big amount of money.
The issue here is that after several losses, you do not get to win back all these losses in a single win. It happens because you are not doubling your bet. The Fibonacci is a good betting strategy for people with patience and those who do not want to take significant risks.
