Roulette Strategies – The House Always Wins

[yslyv]

I've Been Obsessed with Roulette for the Past Few Years

Over the past few years, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about gambling games—especially roulette.

I dove deep into statistics books, tried all kinds of strategies—from Martingale to D’Alembert—and studied probabilities inside and out. There were times when I won quite a bit, too.
But in the end, I always lost more than I won.

Below, I’m sharing what I’ve learned and observed throughout this journey. Maybe it’ll offer some perspective to others walking the same path.

How Do Casinos Always Win?

All gambling games are statistically designed for the house to win in the long run.

Take roulette, for example:

It’s played with 36 numbers + 2 green “0” slots (in American roulette),
which gives the house a 5.26% edge.

The longer you play, the more likely you are to lose—because probability always favors the house.

The Martingale Strategy

One of the most popular systems among roulette players is the Martingale strategy.
It’s very simple: double your bet after every loss so that when you eventually win, you recover all previous losses and gain a profit equal to your first bet.

Example: 1 → 2 → 4 → 8 → 16 → 32 → 64 → 128 → 256 → 512 → 1024...

It sounds logical in theory. But in practice, it’s a different story:

Every table has a maximum bet limit. So even if you have infinite money, you eventually hit a ceiling and can’t keep doubling.

And if you don’t have infinite money, the rapid doubling will drain your bankroll very quickly after just a few losses in a row.

Another common mistake is misunderstanding the independent nature of each roulette spin.
Just because black has come up 10 times in a row doesn’t make red more likely on the 11th spin.

Can You Really Win?

Roulette is fun and can feel profitable in the short term.
Yes, you can win sometimes.

But in the long run, the math is always in favor of the house.
If you play knowing that and just want to have fun, then it’s no problem.

But if you're sitting at the table to make money—you’re in the wrong place.

I feel sorry for you quite frankly, if any of this is true, because you cannot comprehend or will not accept the simple mathematical probabilities that exist around roulette. There is no way you can bend the odds that are static. When you talk about the Martingale "strategy" then it's obvious that you have no grasp on reality and are simply wishing for a win. It's actually quite damaging for you to perpetuate theories like this, because the longer people keep them alive the more people lose a lot of money to casinos by attempting them - they will always have more resources than 99.999% of average users out there. There are thousands of casinos out there that have made billions of dollars from gamblers in a state of denial about the reality that exists in these games. For every guy that has won 10 roulette wins in a row, doubling up every time, there have been millions of attempts that have still brought in a profit to the casino. If you had any sense you would attempt games where it is clearly feasible to win like poker, or at least be sneaky against the casino like card counting in blackjack.

This is the same for all games and this piece of information is not specific for roulette.

Nobody writes using — and → except ChatGPT, so just shut the fuck up idiot. You didn't learn shit and you stole content that is terrible because you don't understand anything about gambling. There is not 1 lesson that is correct from your post. You thought you are smart but in the end you are just a fool and a thief. Representing other people or machine's work as your own is very shady.

Normally I'have known for a while now that the house always win, no matter how hard the gambler trys the house will win and the person will be at a loss. Because of this, it's very necessary for gamblers to always risk little about of money which is the amount that they can afford to lose. Aside that, they shouldn't even endeavor to gamble because they can just win the house.

It is true. House always wins no matter how a gambler find ways to defeat the house. Gamblers should just play to have fun rather than trying hard to win. Even if the goal is to have fun is that the person who is gambling mostly at a loss side rather than on winning side. So, it's should be just as you have said that people should gamble the money that they can afford to avoid having problems that they will encounter sooner or later.

Gambling is just mostly about the fun and just luck because statistically overtime there is a high chance that you could end up in a loss. The analysis by the OP is a fine one but it's arguable because of the luck factor. Most times I prefer to define luck as a partial failure of probability.

The idea is; for example the american roulette's house edge of 5.26% means the casino has a built in advantage but luck can actually defy it multiple times consecutively the only problem is the chances are thin.

I get that you’re skeptical, and you’re free to disagree with the content, no problem there. But throwing insults and accusing people without any real evidence doesn’t add anything useful to the discussion.

If you check my earlier post, you’ll see that this exact post was originally written in my own language not long ago... and none of the symbols you’re referring to like — were present in that version.

The translation tool I used added those symbols just to make some parts more readable or clear in English. That doesn’t mean I used ChatGPT or stole anything.

Not just in roulette, all casino games have the house edge and they are already known for the high chance that the house got, it's just newbies that will not yet understand how it works but if you have been gambling for years you will understand that the house has the high  possibility of winning while player has low probability. @OP, you are more specific with roulette because that seems to be the only game you loved to play but it's like that for all game, strategies are worthless in a casino game with house edge because the house will repeatedly win you.

[Agbamoni]

If the house always wins then no strategy is better.
My honest conclusion on casino games is that it relies on luck before you can win..especially in roulette games where the outcome is completely random. The ball can land on any number, color, or section without any influence from the player. And again, the wheel cannot remember the previous event, if it landed on a red in a row doesn't mean you can easily predict where it will land next.

If you translate with AI and write using AI assistants you are stealing. There is no room for debate here. Like I said anyway everything you posted in the topic is wrong. So you are both stupid and a thief. Martingale strategy give me a break. Only the stupidest kids that never grew up call that pseudo junk a strategy.

[DaNNy001]

This is a well detailed post you did a job with the important points you stated out op... roulettes can be fun to gamble on just like most casino games but every Strategy the gambler sets out is just a way that the casino makes profit...The martingale strategy is worse because all the gambler does is to keep doubling and trippling their stakes not knowing if they are actually going to win on each round, this is a big risk

[Slow death]

Well, people who believe they can beat the casino or betting house in the long run always end up bankrupt and addicted. That's why it's very important that before people decide to get involved with gambling, they do research to understand that gambling is a form of entertainment. It's not something to take too seriously, nor should they play with the intention of winning money.

But unfortunately, many people start to fall into temptation when they win. They become convinced that if they keep playing more and with high multipliers, they can win a lot of money. I'm glad I only play for fun. Even when I win, I don't make the mistake of believing I can increase the amount a lot to win a lot of money.

I like roulettes and I still like it till now but I am losing at times and I am winning at times. I only like it because it is fun for me among all casino games. I have tried the martingale strategy before several times but if I lose, the loss is always huge. I only just gamble more for fun than to be lookingfor any strategy. All the strategies are failures to people that are talking about profit. The profit can be short term but not long term.

This is not only applicable to roulette but to all gambling games offered by the casino. All gambling games is designed with house edge advantage to guarantee profit of the casino. Either on lower payout or the game mechanics itself that always have in favor to casino.

Even on a no house edge casino it’s still very to win in the long run since you will rely on luck to make the winning chances in your favor while human error will always makes you lose no matter what strategy you will apply on any gambling games.

[shasan]

The longer you play the more you loss it is not only applicable for the roulette game but also for the any type of game thats why who are not addicted stop the game after a period of time. You know it may happen not only for the favor of house edge but also for the mental and physical tired and so on.

How Do Casinos Always Win?

All gambling games are statistically designed for the house to win in the long run.

The moment we all can agree and accept that gambling is a business and not a charity we would understand why the house will always win. We are essentially paying for our chance to win and also to have fun. Both these things are offered by the casino with a price.

Another common mistake is misunderstanding the independent nature of each roulette spin.
Just because black has come up 10 times in a row doesn’t make red more likely on the 11th spin.

It’s easier to believe in “logic” rather than accept that it really is random and there’s nothing else we can do to make a difference.

Maybe we can also use this kind of approach whereby if we were given a coin to toss 10 times, then from each tossing attempt we are going to make, we have to choose from the side of the coin we wanted, how is the probability of us winning to that of losing, we can take the answer to this as the ultimate response we can get for this question as well, that how comes the casinos always have the house edge.

Im not really an expert with this game but what I usually do is keep bets small and spread them out a bit instead of chasing losses. Sometimes I just set a target like if I win a little, I stop and walk away. It doesnt beat the house edge, but it makes the game last longer and gives me a chance to leave with something instead of nothing.

If I ever gonna compute my wins and losses the simple answer is at least I enjoyed the game kek!
