There are tons of strategies out there, and some people swear by their strategies. However, not all strategies work well for all games, you need to pick and choose based on the game you’re playing to give yourself the best advantage possible.

This week, we’re going to take a look into the best online roulette betting strategies to help you try and win as much as possible – because we’re nice like that.

Martingale Isn’t All Its Cut Out to Be

Martingale has been around since the 18th century and it’s proven itself to be a winner time and time again, but could its days be numbered? In order to make any money using Martingale, you have to have a pretty heft bankroll to begin with and be prepared to lose it all trying to make €10. The Martingale system requires you to place a bet on red, black, even or odd and keep placing bets on that same outcome. Every time you lose, you double your bet. However, if you have a €1,000 bankroll, you will only see 5 bets before you’re out of cash.

You can adapt the Martingale slightly to give you a 6th bet by reducing bet 3 from €40 down to €30. This means that any winning bet after bet 3 won’t return a profit, but it will give you one extra shot at getting back to all square. In theory, the Martingale system is rather rewarding, but in practice it can become rather costly.

D’Alembert Stands Out Amongst Others

No betting strategy is completely fool-proof and you will eventually hit a losing streak, but with the d’Alembert strategy you can turn those losses into a rather nice pile of gains. The rule of thumb for the d’Alembert strategy is to bet on one outcome over and over again, increasing your stake when you lose and decreasing it when you win. Then, walk away and take a break when your wins equal your losses – you should have a nice kitty built up at this point.

While d’Alembert does hold a certain amount of risk, it will take you longer to burn through a €1,000 stack than it would with Martingale. If you start out with €10 stakes, just like in our Martingale scenario, it would take you 45 hands to burn through your entire pot. Compare that to the 5 or 6 hands using Martingale and you can quickly see why d’Alembert is slightly safer as a player.

The Conclusion

So, if you’re looking to protect your bankroll for as long as possible while making a good chunk of profit, the d’Alembert strategy looks like it could be for you. It is better than the Martingale system in almost every way, not to mention it’s incredibly simple to use both when playing online roulette and in the land-based casino.
