For those of you who are willing to play without the endless expectation of good luck, there're simple strategies and tricks you can learn in order to decrease the bankroll from burning out. It's about planning and playing wisely and being ready to leave the game when enough is really enough. There're plenty strategies out there: simple, silly, crazy and even superstition-like. But let's put all jokes aside and get down to business of playing Roullette.
Martingale's strategy
This strategy is by far the most famous one. The simple feature of this system is that when the player loses the stake, he increases the next one. It compensates for the previous bad luck and also gets you a little something to feel good about. Use this tool when you are betting on red / black or odd / even.
Putting Martingale's strategy into practice
Imagine the situation where you bet £1 on black. If it rolls on black, you win, if rolls on red, you lose £1, so afterwards you will need to put £2 on black.
If red drops again, then you need to double your bet in the third round and bet on the black £4, and if the bet is lost again, you need to bet £8 in the fourth round. Keep on betting as long as the black doesn't show up.
If in the fourth round, after you have put £8 on black anf if your bet wins, you will get £16. Given the cost of the previous rate (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = $ 15), your profit will be £1, which was the original bet.
As you can imagine, the player will be winning more often, but not consider himself as rich as Donald Trump just yet. And the loss of the stakes due to its constant doubling will be rare, but significant.
ASM strategy
This strategy is based purely un mathematical progressions. The strategy takes the following form: 1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 4.
Sequence of actions for this handy tool is varies, depending on the results of the very first round. So here's what the player needs to do if he / she won after the very first spin:
- The player makes his minimum bet.
- If he wins, then he / she makes a second bet equal to the minimum one.
- Player wins in the third round? Then he / she should double his / her bet.
- If the player wins in the fourth round again, then the bets are doubles again.
- When the player wins in the fifth round, his / her bets should be equal to thee four minimum bets.
- By winning the sixth round in a row, the bets again should be equal to those four minimum ones.
- The 4x bet is in force till the first loss. Then the sequence will look like this: 1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 4
So in the end of the day, keep in mind one simple reminder that the total cost of the winnings should not exceed twenty or twenty-five minimum bets when you use this strategy. When your limit is reached, it's better to quit the game.
The five number strategy
This strategy is not that popular among the players, to say the least. Why? Because it requires a considerable amount of money. The main feature of the strategy is that the player bets on five numbers simultaneously. The bankroll for the game is £550 to reserve the participation in the case if the player losses 17 times in a row. But just to be fair, the chance that a series of losses will extend over 17 spins is really tiny. So let's put it into practice and see how it really works:
- First things first: the player chooses 5 numbers and bets £5 (one pound per each number, that is).
- If none of those numbers appeared by the time of the round 8, then the player raises his stakes up to £30 (£6 for each number, that is).
- If the bad luck continues till round 13, then the player should raise his bet up to £11 (55 in total)
- In the case where the player is on the verge of round 16 and none of the numbers he bet appeared, the stake should be raised up to £16 per number (80 in total).

The amount of your profit is strongly connected to the number of losses:
