The Smart Live Casino Player Will Never Do This When Playing Live Roulette!

There are a big list of tactics that the Smart Live Casino player uses when playing live roulette. Calculated to help win money, or at least, reduce the chances of making a loss, the systems help them play a night of roulette, hopefully walking away from the table a winner. Of course there are strategies that you should avoid at all costs – suprisingly, some of these are the better-known ones! Staying away from using these tactics will help you enjoy your eveining, and perhaps give you a more profitable night out.

To quote Albert Einstein: "You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it". If you are playing at somewhere live Smart Live Casino, or another online live roulette room, this is not possible thanks to the nature of the internet. An Oceans 13 type heist just is not possible with an internet casino. In order to try and win, people develop their own systems, or redescover existsing ones. As there are many nearly even-money bets in roulette, many people attempt to utilise this in their tactics. Most routines end up being a variation of what is comonly referred to as the Martingale system.

The Martingale strategy is a system where after every loss, the player doubles their bet. The idea behind doing that based on you eventually winning, and that win will erase all your previous losses. Your profit will be equal to the original stake. Live roulette casinos love players who do this, but a Smart Live Casino player will never do this. Why is this? Thanks to the house numbers and the way the bets increse massively, this technique is flawed, and can result in a large financial loss for the player. As an example, eight consecutive red bets starting with an initial stake of a dollar would result in a final stage of $512 being risked for a single dollar profit!

Another system more or less guaranteed to loose you money is called the "Dopey Experiment". Described by Andres Martizez in his book about Las Vegas "24/7" as an "enjoyable" live roulette betting method, the strategy involves dividing your bankroll into 35 units, and then betting on a single value 35 times. If the number hits once, you will make your money back, and if it hits twice you are in profit! Unfortunately, the smart live casino player will have already worked out that the probablility of one number out of 38 (assuming a double zero wheel) hitting twice in 38 spins is 6068 to 1. Not good odds!

A final variation of the Martingale system is based on the Fibonacci system of numbers, and is also used by many live roulette players (but not those who play Smart Live Casino games!). The Fibonacci number systems is a natural progression where the next number in the sequence is based on the preceeding two numbers, so the first five numbers are 1, 2 (1 + 1), 3, (1 + 2), 5 (3 + 2), 8 (5 + 3). The gambler starts by betting one unit, and then keeps betting that unit until they have lost. Once they have lost, they move to the next unit, and so on. Once there has been a win, they go back one number. Once they have had two consecutive wins, they go back to betting one unit.

As with all live roulette strategies, and as the Smart Live Casino player knows, there is no way of overcoming the house numbers. The tiny green pockets prevent the game from being statistically balanced, and therefore no methadology is perfect.

So perhaps Mr. Einstein was yet again totally correct?
