      Eleven minutes to say it is good in the short term, but not in the long term. Sheesh. The obviously problem with any strategy like this on roulette is that as long as your bet is X chips, every time you bet X chips, you'll lose more often than you win. Betting any pattern of up or down, or 1-3-5-whatever still works out that betting up will win 48% of the time, down the same, one the same, 3 the same, 5 the same.
      Here's a suggestion for anyone who thought they'd find something useful here. Find a way to beat sports betting, because other than counting cards, you won't beat table games.

But sports betting is also not the answer in reality I’d say go to college and get a job, but poker is far superior to sports betting. Both are skill games but one your playing against Vegas literally the best a sports betting there is and the other your playing against the local crowd at your casino. If poker were like sports betting than the only poker games you’d be allowed to play would only be against pros.

    About 20 years ago a friend decided to join a group of us in Vegas. He jumped in the car and drove in from California. First thing he did was go to the Big Wheel (*cough*). He put $5 down and lost. $10 and lost. $20 and lost. $40 and lost. $80 and lost. $160 and lost. $320 and lost. Sorry.... $500 limit on bets, can't double anymore. And he let out a stream of expletives and stormed outta the casino, got back in the car, and drove back to California. Don't think he's ever been back.

      The casino would not stop the player in this case.
      No matter how many people someone bring with him (spouse, friends etc..).
      Because martingale does not give the player any edge, just retards the eventual huge loss that will compensate the casino for all those small player's wins.
      Casinos stops only advantage players (like proficient card-counters), cheaters, and people who disturbs other players from losing their money in favour of the casino.

    I'd be interested to see what the expected value of this strategy is (i.e. the version presented at the end). With a larger maximum bet, the probability of winning (at least once) is higher, but the cost of a loss increases exponentially, and could be enough to skew the expected value.

    • @matt0833
      @matt0833 4 місяці тому +2

      the expected value of any roulette spin is always the same, regardless of the betting scheme. it is calculated as the probability of a win minus the probability of a loss. in the case of a roulette wheel with one 0, it would be 18/37 - 19/37 = -2.7% of your bet. It’s even worse for most american casinos with a 0 and a 00, at -5.3%

    I've tried that strategy in video games that have gambling. It works well as long as you start with a very small bet and have a large pool of money to keep going, but the problem is, the initial bet is so small, it's not really worth it, so I would always get to the point where I start making the initial bet much larger, meaning I'd have less tries and eventually lose it all. I couldn't ever really find a good balance that would ensure winning while at the same time making the payout worth the time.

    It might be worth mentioning that there's no obstacle to making a substantially larger profit than $1 every time your Martingale finishes with a win - if you bet, say, triple the previous amount each time instead of "just" doubling it, you end up with a net gain of about half what your last bet was, which is far larger than a single dollar when you finally win; on the downside though, you're also running out of money much faster...

  • @blond2282

    Ok guys, feedback needed. Player 1 plays the martindale. Player 2 plays the opposite of that. So essentially chips are moving back & forth btwn players 1& 2. It just makes red & black constantly bet on during any spin. Three spins into this, player 3 puts the table min on the 0- 00 line. With no additional players doing traditional roulette playing of 5 or 6 numbers, just players 1 & 2 on the outside and player 3 on the double zero split, I think the roulette dealer will feel useless as no outcome matters, & hit a 0 or 00 very quickly. I call it "the system of systems". What do you guys think?

    of course with an emphasis only on winning, you'd simply keep the first win. Playing again but allowing your win to remain for the next bet and so on, effectively letting the wins continue. Hence your winnings would be 1, then 2, then 4, then 8 etc.,. losses would always be only 1 unit per spin.

    Very cool video, I love your channel, just found it! 🙂 I tried using trend prediction from the study of Chaos Theory to win at Blackjack in the casinos. Chaos Theory shows that the odds of any given coin toss are not 50%, that is, each flip shouldn't be considered by itself, independent of the others. There ARE runs of 'good luck' and 'bad luck', and counterintuitively, the longer a run goes, the more likely it is to continue. Statisticians don't like this, but the data from the study of dynamical systems show it to be true. (Regardless of whether they can explain it, it's still true.) And of course you are right, casinos capp the maximum bet so you can't employ the 'double your bet' strategy to win using that method. Love this video. 🙂

    Years ago on business in Las Vegas a friend asked me to bet $5 on Black. I could lose $5 and not worry so i said okay.
    Just as i was about to leave town i remembered his request and headed to a casino.
    Not being a gambler i dis figure out it was Roulette. Rather than just waste it i wanted to see if i could improve the odds. So i watched several games at several tables. Each table had a board of the last 15 winning numbers whose odds should be 0.5 to be on the list)
    Thats when i noticed several numbers listed 2,3 and even 4 rimes. The odds being largly against it. So i looked closly at the numbers.
    The number means nothing but the physical position on a physical wheel does. Nothing is perfect. What it revealed was a pie slice where freq number were.
    That's when i chose to play. I occupied every place in that slice to win. And often did.
    The heads-tails factor was how many times in a row. So if the count was hogh i bet the opposite slices. Usually winning again.
    I did that for 1-1/2 hr to go from $5 up to $840 at which point i covered my trip expenses so i headed home.
    That was my system to win.

    I have used this method on Blackjack before and this is where it gets interesting because firstly the perfect game of BJ gives the house a smaller edge an roulette but most importantly you get random points in the game to suddenly increase your stake when it looks like it's in your favour to do so, ie doubling down, splitting pairs, etc. So if this happens when you are well into a losing streak then it means you might win back loads more than your $1 stake that you were trying to do originally!
    Plus blackjack pays 1.5x too which is always nice when you are betting $32 or $64!
    Sadly I have no idea how to factor in the doubling up strategy with all these potential bonus payouts too.

      actually better to consider it a run of no-show's instead of shows... that way you are accounting for the green (0) as it can be considered just another no-show of the colour you are watching. This won't work in an actual casino though as they will ban you for "table waiting" and it won't work in an online casino as you will win too frequently and they will suspend / close your account under the guise of protecting you from being a person with a gambling addiction (you can lose as much as you like and they will not suspend or close your account... if you consistently win more than you lose they will find a way under there t&c's to suspend / close your account.) tried, tested and verified on multiple online casinos. If you're not losing money, they are not happy with you as a customer.

    So am I understanding correctly you are saying the best way to play is to try to win once and quit? I won't disagree. Here is a strategy. Stack chips on a single dozen methodically increasing after a loss so that a profit can be had on any win, but toward the center are increasingly larger jackpot numbers. Upon the first win cash out! If a jackpot then superb! If a lower level win then you can still afford the cab fare and a pint! 😅😅😅😅😅

    Wouldn't it be best to target common sequences with betting patterns and increased spacing and payout.... basically pressing but not paroli either... just using past wins on an even bet to increase possiblity of a bigger payout from one unit. basically playing the odds on the value a single unit can achieve vs the house odds. if you can make 1 unit= to the potential of 9 units within a theoretical amount of spins to achieve that payout vs the bankroll needed to take the flow of the game. It'd be possible to actually make it a game compared to knowing they will win every time.... it's only fair that we win sometimes too... flat bets are the way to go.

    You can use Martingale, but wait for 3 in a row before you place your first bet. Example - Once you see three RED 3x in a row, start with a minimum bet on BLACK (on the fourth spin) and start doubling. You have already dodged 3 in a row. So the 7 win theory with dodging the first 3 means you would have to lose 10 in a row, which is exponentially less likely.

    Americans. Please consider that most roulette wheels outside the high-limit tables are double-zero. The probability moves from 18/37 to 18/38. And, while that doesn't seem like much, it moves the odds to 47.37% from 48.65%. Martingale is a great strategy to win your original bet in the short term. Play it long enough, and you will lose.

      @@blucat4 I will do you the courtesy of answering this because you're probably young and I'm taking your question as being genuine. When I was a kid I used to fantasize about beating the house and I read all kinds of books on all kinds of strategies for all kinds of games. One thing all of the books had in common was to first and foremost expose the Martingale 'system' as the most elementary sucker bet of all. The reason is this - twofold actually. 1) the idea that because red has come up x number of times, then statistically, black has to come up, because it's 'due' . This makes sense to our mind because it seems to make sense. The odds are 50/50 right? ( Besides the fact that the odds are not 50/50 because of the 0 and 00 on the wheel which go to the house, and gives them that statistical advantage that makes roulette a valuable house winner just like all the games. But that aside, even if there was no zero and double zero on the wheel - the odds that you think you're going to play by doubling up bets ( the 50/50 probability) those statistics only occur at very high numbers of spins. Meaning - the house is going to grind you down easily. Because they have what amounts to very deep pockets. The ability to stay in the game for what amounts to forever, where is the player is going to go broke soon, and very soon especially if he is placing bets in hopes of recouping his ongoing losing streak. The house can afford to keep playing long long long long long long after your money is gone gone gone. Black came 15 times in a row seemingly against all odds, and by the 5th or 6th spin your bedding 30 grand to try and recoup your original 100-dollar bet, and you lost it all. How is this possible? Wasn't red 'due'? Those 50/50 statistics don't average until THOSANDS of spins. The idea that your shit is due - is an illusion
