3:1 roulette strategy

A short brief on roulette

There are 3 known types of roulette. American, European and the "classic" French. We are mostly interested in the European roulette version, this is available everywhere, however we must know the differences. Why we do not play on American type of roulette tables is the fact that there is a field called the double 0, "00" which makes winning a bit harder. On a typical European table you will find 36+1 numbers, some of them are red, others are black and there is the green 0. This little green is the "number of the house", the casinos earn the most of their incomes with this field... (they say...). And there is no strategy for the 0, even not for 00 in roulette!
Bets and payouts in roulette (payout:bet ratio):
  • colour, red-black (2:1)
  • even-odd (2:1)
  • low-high numbers (2:1)
  • one of the 3 dozens (3:1)
  • one of the 3 rows (3:1)
  • on a number (36:1)
  • and certainly there are payouts for combinations of these above!!!
So if you bet 1 bucks on the red and you win you will get the 1 dollar back and another 1 as winning. That means you got 2 dollars and paid 1. (2:1)
Now you must be a bit more familiar with the roulette table, but let's see it live!
Description of betting in roulette, for each specific spot:
  1. We put on number 14 simply. We get 36 back on the 1 unit bet.
  2. We made a so called split bet on number 19 and 22. We get 17x of the chips if one of the numbers is the winner.
  3. This is a street bet (three line). We put the chips on the line between the dozen field and the number just near the field. The payout ratio is 11:1 if one of the 3 numbers in that line is the lucky winner.
  4. Corner bet is a harder one. We put on 4 numbers. Payout ration is 8:1 if one of the 4 numbers is the lucky winner.
  5. Double street (six line). 5:1
  6. Middle dozen. 3:1
  7. One of the rows. 3:1
  8. Even. 2:1
  9. Red. 2:1
  10. 1-18 "low" numbers. 2:1
That's all we need to know now before we want to start playing and develop our own roulette strategy. We will use these basic ones but with different roulette betting strategies.

Beginner (doubler) roulette strategy

The most simple way of putting on some of the first bets is playing on the 2:1 fields. We may put on the red/black, even/odd or the low/high fields. If we win then it's okay... that is what we wanted. But what if we don't win? We must put next time the double of the starting bet on the same field to win back the loss and to win some. This is based on the "Martingale strategy" but now played in roulette.
The advantage of it is that we don't need to follow any complicated rules. The second advantage is based on experience. Untill a number of spins you are winning with this strategy very easily at the roulette table. When I've registered myself for the first the the only thing i knew was that it must work. Based on my simulations it happens only once in 1000 times when you lose 9 or 10 times in a row. So in general it must work.
The disadvantage of this roulette strategy is that you must have lot's of cash in your pot and a strong stomat. There is another thing: the limit on each table for the maximum size of the bet. So do not want to play with 1 dollar starting bet at a roulette table with maximum 10 dollar limit.
Based on real at-the-table-playing experiences in a bad serie you can lose about max 12 times in a row. That is a typical so called "bad serie". The chance for this is really inconsiderably low but we must take it just as seriously as the money we bet on it.

5th 1 1 2 1

7th 4 7 8 1
8th 8 15 16 1
9th 16 31 32 1
10th 32 63 64 1
We have a software called the Roulette Sniper which advises one of the 2:1 fields to put on when the opposite was the winner for at least the 7th time in a row. For example if the lucky number was red in the last 7 spins it advises putting on the red. In our roulette strategy we will start betting when a 2:1 field was not a winner 4 times in a row. So if we got 4 times odds in a row then we will bet on the even field. That's all!
I will tell you more about this Roulette Sniper software later because it deserves some attention.

We do not have that high chances but still about 99% that we will win with this particular roulette strategy. We are going to put on each of the dozens or rows. When one of these has not had a winner number for 7-8 times then we put one chip on it. If we happened to lose then for the next round we put more chips on the same one. Let's see the table below!
Round Bet Cumulated bet Earnings Net profit
7. 1 1 3 2
8. 2 3 6 3
9. 3 6 9 3
10. 4 10 12 2
11. 6 16 18 2
12. 9 25 27 2
13. 13 38 39 1
14. 20 58 60 2
So as you see we need to have much money to play this roulette strategy.

3:1 advanced rulette strategy

What if we would modify the previous strategy a bit? What if we put on 2 dozens or on 2 rows at a time? Let's try it so we cover the 66.6% of the fields on the roulette table. If the same row or dozen is the winner for the 3rd time then we can play the other two by betting on the same amount on each at the same time. Our net profit will be only 1 chip if we put 1-1 on the 2 rows or dozens. Certainly if we lose then we have to increase our bet, this time it means that we must put the 3x of the previous. So you better use this safely only when the same dozen or row is the winner for 3rd-4th time.
There is still another type of this roulette technique the other modified one. Taking a precise look at the table we can see that in 2 rows the distribution of red-black fields is not equal. There is one with equal reds-blacks but the other two have more of fields with each color.

Put 2 chips on the equal row and 2 chips for the one which have more black fields than reds... and put 1 chip on the red color. Now we have 4 fields/numbers where we can only lose (the 4 black fields in the right row). BUT in the other two rows if the number is black we win 1 chip. If it happens to be red then 2 chips. And we still minimized our loss to 3 when a red number is the winner in the right row.
On the picture there is exactly this setup when the 4 blacks stayed uncovered in the right row. If we decide to put the 2-2 magenta chips to the rows on the left and the right side then we must put the cyan chip on the black color.
