All serious gamblers have their strategies and methods that work, or don’t work in some cases, for them. This article is going to be for those who specifically enjoy playing roulette, or maybe for those who have not played, but are interested. Either way, let’s take a look at a roulette strategy called the Martingale Strategy.
Despite its big name, the Martingale Strategy is surprisingly easy to implement. Basically, every time a player loses a round in an even money game, he will double the next bet.
The plan is to win enough to make up for the loss just suffered, plus have a profit. When the loss is recovered, the player goes back to betting the original amount, and continues repeating the process.
With some luck, the Martingale Strategy can work for a period of time. In theory, a player should be able to play for a long time with this strategy, as each loss will be recovered fairly quickly.
However, the problem occurs when several losses happen in a row. Players quickly find themselves without enough money to place the maximum bet it would then take to recover.
The overall conclusion from experienced gamblers is that even though the Martingale can lead to winning most of the time, a devastating loss is somewhere in the future. The strategy is not recommended as an overall winning system.
Since the Martingale is considered to be a risky betting method, some gamblers have sought to correct its basic flaws with the Grand Martingale. Using the Grand Martingale, a player doesn’t double a losing bet, but doubles plus some. Following a loss, the player might even triple the bet. Of course, the hope is to recover quickly.
Unfortunately, the reality seems to be that the Grand Martingale just loses money for the player faster than either of the other versions. Again, winning streaks are possible, and thus the lure. However, the house maximum comes up faster, and players are ever closer to the big loss.
