Limitations of the martingale system
The different techniques for winning at roulette (the serious ones) are all based on Martingales.
The martingale technique is as old as the casinos themselves and has made some people so rich that the green 0 boxes have appeared. To make sure you don't win every time, here's what's systematically used in real casinos and on the net:
- The most obvious is the 0 box(es). It gives the player 1 chance (or two) less to win with single bets. So even though it's only a 2.6% less chance of winning, the casino is sure to win as long as the player plays for a long time.
- Next, the casino limits the maximum amount you can bet. Thus, in the case of numerous consecutive losses, the player can no longer double the winnings because he has reached the maximum authorised betting limit. For example, after 6 consecutive losses with a bet of 1 Euro, you have to bet 128 Euros on the next move and if the maximum bet limit on roulette is set at 100 Euros, you will not be able to recover your losses.
- Finally, to force you to play for a long time, and therefore have a chance of the 0 falling, casinos force you to play a certain minimum number of moves. They do this through welcome offers. Don't be fooled! The tempting Euro bonus offers on opening your new account are conditional on a minimum betting amount (i.e. a number of bets).
Lastly, the limit is also your own. You will be tempted to play at random, or to try another casino game. Keep a serious line of conduct and know how to leave the gaming table as soon as you have 100 or 200 Euros in your pocket. From experience, you will lose everything above that amount. This is human behaviour and you need to fight it.
You should also know that casino operators call their support staff the retention team, whose aim is to keep you playing by offering you bonuses, for example. You should refuse and not gamble on luck.
Don't hesitate to reread the "understanding" section of this site before taking the plunge. I may not have said it often enough, you will NEVER win in the long term at a casino, even at roulette.
