Roulette players have always asked themselves if there is a system out there that you can safely use and that will guarantee that you will win. As we all know, there is no system that can do this in a land based casino. But nowadays we can also play roulette online. Can we use such a system when playing roulette online? Are there any tools that we can use and beat online roulette?

Let’s take a look at the RNG or Random Number Generator. After all, this is the most important part of roulette, the part that decides what number will win. The question is if the RNG offers better systematical playing opportunities than a human croupier. The thing is that by using a RNG, the outcome is totally random and influencing factors such as mechanics and the hand of the croupier are taken out of the equation. This leads us to the hard facts of the matter: online roulette is nowadays pure mathematics.

All roulette tables, regardless if they are land based or online have a 0 slot. American wheels have a 0 and a 00 slot. These extra slots give the house the edge they need to win on the long run. In other words, the house edge that is found in every roulette wheel will cause you to lose on the long run. Every time you bet your chances of winning are 2.7% lower than the casinos’ chances. Your odds are even lower if you play an American wheel.

So how do system players go about roulette betting? Well, most of them observe the game and look for a so called “permanence”. Based on their observations they came up with certain “favorite” numbers. They will bet on these numbers and in the same time keep a close eye on the game and notice if other “favorite numbers” come up. This system requires a lot of effort from your part, but when playing online you could use special software to lessen your effort.

Here is another system. This system changes in every round to the opposite chance, say from red to black and vice versa. These are fixed roulette systems and so are their chances of winning: -2.7%. The thing about this system is that once you put in the human factor, the decisions that must be taken by the player himself, this system becomes irreproducible for all cases. It is not generally applicable.

The “Martingale” system is widely spread and used in other games. According to this system every time you lose you should double your wager. So if you bet $5 on red for example, you should bet $10 on the next spin. If you lose again, then double the wager, bet $20. According to this system you will eventually win and when you do you will win back all the money you previously lost. This system sounds good in theory. The truth of the matter is that in real life it has a few drawbacks. First of all you need a large bankroll to use it. Let’s take a look at the $5 example presented above. Say you kept doubling your wager for the last 10 rounds. Do you know how much money you will need for the 11th round? A staggering $5120. Let’s just assume that you can afford all that money. The casino will not let you wager it because every table has a set limit. When you hit a certain amount, you cannot wager anymore because the house does not take bets that large.

Maybe the answer can be found in the past. Let’s turn to history for a helping hand. I mean there were so many famous people that won big at the roulette table that they surely must have used a system. Unfortunately, they did not use a system. There are no facts to prove that they used a foolproof system.

Here is the bottom line: there is no failsafe, foolproof system that you can use. No system can guarantee that you will win. All land based and online casinos would go bankrupt in a month or even sooner if such a system existed. But if you play systematically, with certain amounts, with discipline, you will have the overview and you will stay away from blind hazard. Find a respectable, reputable casino and play systematically.

Always remember that when it comes to online roulette you can have loads of fun without having to spend any money. This is because most online casinos allow you to play their games for free. So if you have a system and you would like to see if it works, do it in a safe environment. Trying a new system in a land based casino can prove to be tricky and even expensive. But if you do it online, you do not have to spend any money and you do not have to stand for all those people looking at you funny.

You may have heard about the so called roulette “flaw”. The internet is full of people trying to convince you that in order to avoid suspicion of fraud, some casino software is specially programmed and every dozen will come at least one time in 16 rounds for example. You are guaranteed to win if you use a variation of the Martingale system. If you believe such nonsense you are doomed to lose a lot of money.

Remember that the main purpose of any casino game is entertainment. You are playing those games to have fun, to amuse yourself. If you play roulette and win, it is because luck is on your side. Always bet smart, wager only as much as you can afford to lose. Never dip into the mortgage funds or you may end up on the streets.
