There are several roulette strategy systems that gamblers use to try and
better their odds of winning. Many of these strategies have been tested by
professional gamblers. Some swear by them while others prefer to play using
their own systems.
One such system is the Labouchere system. This roulette strategy
system is also known as the Split Martingale (The Martingale System being
another strong strategy) and Cancellation system.
This system is never fixed and is therefore completely up to you how you wish to
play it. You have to decide how much you wish to bet in a sequence and what is
the maximum bet you wish to place.
Start with a Sequence
The first thing you will do is write down a sequence of numbers. To keep this
simple, we will use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as the example. Each of these numbers
symbolises a unit of betting which adds up to 15 in this case. Let us also say
that the maximum bet you wish to place is 10.
How it Works
Once you have the sequence, you will place your first bet as the first and
last numbers in the sequence - 1 & 5. Therefore, your bet will equal 6 units. If
the bet wins then you cancel out the numbers that you have used (1 & 5) and are
now left with a new series of numbers - 2, 3, 4.
You then keep to the same rule of using the first and last numbers in the
sequence to make your bet which is now 6 units (2 + 4). Now, assuming that this
hand loses, you will add this new unit (6) onto the initial sequence so that
your new sequence reads as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Once again, you will continue with this sequence and place your next bet as 7
(1 + 6).
You will then continue the sequence until everything has been crossed off and
you have upped your winnings in the process.
Can it Work for you?
No roulette system is perfect, but if you stick to the even-paying bets to
start with then you should come out with a handy profit. You just have to make
your sequence according to how much you are prepared to bet. You should also
make your units according to how much you are prepared to lose. If you use the
above sequence as an example, you can decide whether you want each unit to be
equal to just €1 or go as high as €100. It's all up to you.
