But if you look at this problem only in a mathematical way, you got a 50:50 chance of winning and if you win, you double your bet. Then this should work, but casinos saved them with various reasons against this method, am I right?

@diddutz Every once in a while, you'll hit the green double zero so it's not actually a 50/50 bet. Also, hitting the table max is an issue.

@Deej1188

idk about roulette rules, just about algorithms, and the tow zeros just turn your 50/50 bet into a 47,4 /52,6 bet does this changes anything? not rly...

[Deej1188]

@diddutz Yeah. Those are find odds for the house. A lot of casinos even have Casino War. High card wins. If you have the same card, you double your bet and go to war. The house is running pretty much 24/365....they'll do just fine. Plus, it's not like the rest of the roulette table isn't being played. If everyone got boring and suddenly only played black, red, or double 0, the house edge would eventually play out..right?

[Deej1188]

@diddutz Fine* Plus the fact that you aren't even paid out true odds on any games at a casino. The odds are 1.111 to 1 that you win. But you are paid 1 to 1. If you bet on 0 or 00, you are paid 35 to 1 instead of the 37 to 1 true odds. There is no system.

it is already mathematically proven that this method does not work. Honestly most casinos would welcome you to come and try it. They will even supply the limo.

hahah you dont "really" beat the casino with the help of this method. Is this guy hired by some gambling company or what? I tried it back in my young and naive days by betting on red - sadly enough I got black 13 (!!!) times in a row and in the end I didnt even have the cash to double up my previous bet! And what´s even worse is that in the end you bet shitloads of money just to get back on zero! Banned in casinos? Casinos LOVE stupid guests of my kind! :)

[annakoiher]

this is cheating! You will lose everythig if you use this method! it just seems that it's working but in real life any casino has a bet limit you cant increase. to reach this bet limit you usually need to loose 7 times after you reaching bet limit and you cant double your bet. from this moment man usually loose control and starts to bet everything to play back his money. At the end player loose everything and casino gets his money! trust me! none of casinos would exist if this method was workin

[stuzaza]

martingale it is and to play it on an american wheel with a double zero makes it so much worse. plus you soon reach the max bet any way. real suckers approach.

[hbish05]

hmm the old double your stake if you lose. real original. it isn't banned because it doesn't work unless you have bottomless pockets

[thomwilhelm]

Not just that, but nearly all casinos have a bet limit so that even if you start with the minimum bet you will only be able to double the losing bet say 8 times before the limit is reached.

Note all of these videos are playing with toy money. These strategies will work fine in the short term, but eventually you WILL go on a losing run, the casino knows this!
