Martingale Roulette System
The MArtingale Roulette System is one of the best know Roulette Systems around. The Martingale system has been around for a very long time, almost aslong as the game of Roulette itself. Martingales popularity isn't just because of it's age but also because it has been used as the basis for countless other Roulette Systems.The Martingale system promises like all other Roulette Systems to win you money, and given enough time this system will do just that. A win using the Martingale system will win you one betting unit.
To start using the Martingale Roulette System you will set your betting unit. I recommend that you find the table that has the lowest table minimum and set your betting unit to the table minimum. You'll quickly see why I strong make this recomendation. The Martingale System works best on even money wagers so sticking with even, odd, red, black or Hi, Low is best.
Begin by placing a wager on your bet of choice and watch the results. If you win great, take your winnings and make another wager. If you lose however, you will need to doulbe your previous wager. Lets say the table minimum is $1. You lose your first wager so your second wager has to be $2. This continues until you win. Because you are doubling your previous wager on each lose you win back all your loses plus one unit.
As you can imagine doubling your wager after each loss can lead to some fairly large wagers being placed. For example using are starting wager from
before of $1 it doesn't take long until you are wagering a lot of money.Num. of Wagers |

The table above illustrates how a $1 starting wager grows into a large wager in a few short spins but the fact that you can win back your investment and an extra unit cannot be ignored.
There are three things you will need to keep in mind when you are using the Martingale system. Locate a table with the lowest minimum bet to give yourself some breathing room should you hit a bad run. The second thing to look for when selecting a table is the table maximum. If you hit the table maximum when using the Martingale system you will be unable to recover with the next wager so finding a table that will have room for a series of losses is important The last thing to consider is your bankroll. Other than hitting the Table Maximum, running out of money during a lossing streak is disasterous, you will be unable to recover your losses quickly.
It is generally accepted that you should pick a table and have a bankroll that can accomidate a string of 8 losses. It is very unlikely that a wheel will hit a bad streak that goes beyond 8 consecutive spins. It is certainly possible that a bad streak could extend beyond 8 consecutive spins, but it is very unlikely.
