This page explains the plain facts about roulette including how you can and cannot beat roulette, although much more detailed information is at https://www.roulettephysics.com/how-to-win-at-roulette/. These are the same facts recognized by professional casino staff who are trained to detect professional players. Most people will tell you roulette is totally random and can’t be beaten. But the fact is people beat roulette every day, although you rarely hear about it. To understand how to win at roulette, you must understand what roulette actually is. Software roulette games with computer animations are basically slot machines, not roulette. Online casinos rely on players to be fooled by computer animations.

The only real roulette consists of a physical wheel and ball. In real roulette, the ball and wheel spin, then the ball falls and bounces around before finally coming to rest in a pocket. Real physics is involved, and as such where the ball will fall can be predicted to some degree.

The idea behind the d’Alembert roulette system is to recoup your losses by increasing your bet after each loss. It’s the same principle as the Martingale roulette system, but bets increase linearly making this system considerably safer. The system Two bets are made on every spin: Low (1-18) and the 3rd Dozen (25-36). The 1 – 18 bet on the outside of the roulette table covers the numbers 1 to 18. This bet pays even money, meaning that a $1 bet pays $1 if any of the numbers 1 to 18 come up on the next spin. The 3rd Dozen or 3rd 12 bet on the outside of the roulette table. Martingale and Paroli’s roulette betting systems are classified as steep progressions – they work well for outside bets with probability close to 50% and are a good way to compensate for all your losses.

If you treat a slot machine like roulette, you will lose. There are online roulette casinos that allow you to play against real wheels, and this is the only online roulette you can beat. For 10 years I have offered a $100,000 cash prize to anyone who has a system that can beat 1,000,000 RNG (random number generator) spins. Everyone who has tried has failed.

Why Do Most Systems Fail to Win at Roulette?

Most players are unable to win consistently because the casino offers unfair payouts for wins, and their strategy doesn’t address this issue. Using a single number as an example, on the European wheel, there are 37 pockets. But instead of a fair payout, the casino pays you 35 to 1. This means if you bet on a single number for 37 spins, on average you can expect to win once. On that one win, you will get 35 units, plus the unit you bet. This will leave you with 36 units. If the payout was FAIR, you would have ended up with 37 units. Once you understand this, you see even when you win, you still actually lose. This situation of “unfair payouts” is called the “house edge”.

There is more to it which is explained below, but ultimately most systems eventually lose because the system does not increase the accuracy of predictions. The best page that explains how you can win roulette is here and this page explains the best roulette strategy for online casinos.

Do Past Spins Affect Each Other, and Can Past Spins Be Used to Win Roulette?

Do previous spins affect future spins? This is a tricky question. Most professionals would outright tell you NO. But the fact is when a ball lands on one number, and the ball is spun again, the previous winning number IS connected, but the spins are still two different events and they do not exactly “affect” each other. Consider the following two scenarios. We assume the wheel is physically perfect:

Scenario 1: The ball lands on 32 (spin 1). The dealer then spins the wheel again, and again the ball lands on 32 (spin 2).

Scenario 2: The ball lands on 15 (spin 1). Now the wheel and ball are now respun with exactly the same force, and the ball lands on 15 again (spin 2).

Roulette Systems That Work

My point of the above example is in both scenarios, we had exactly the same ball and wheel speed. So what was different about each scenario? The previous winning number was different, and this meant the next winning number was different.

So do previous spins affect future spins? Well, not exactly, but they are linked, although this applies ONLY on real wheels where there is a physical wheel and ball. If it were software roulette (RNG), the actual winning number is based on random number generators, which have nothing to do with any real wheel and ball, or physics (in the traditional sense), so previous spins have no connection at all to future spins.

Why Most Systems Eventually Lose

There are many “fallacies” players use to develop systems. Below are the most common ones, and WHY they don’t work:

Thinking something is “due” to happen:

On the roulette wheel, nothing is ever “due” to happen. Even after 10 reds in a row, the odds of black spinning are still less than 50/50. If you don’t believe me, do through testing. One way to do this is use an Excel chart to create millions of results with either R (red) or B (black). Even better, use software such as Roulette Xtreme although you’d need to know how to code it. You could probably find people to code for you free on roulette forums.

Now assuming you are doing it manually, check to see various points where there are 10 reds in a row, then each time this happens, see how many times red and black are next. You will need the situation of 10 reds in a row to happen realistically thousands of times to get a realistic idea of the results. What you will find is the odds of black spinning next are EXACTLY the same, whether there was one red, 10 reds or whatever. Nothing changes.

However, many systems are based on the principle of waiting for something to not happen, then betting based on the concept of it being “due”. In this sense, previous spins have nothing even vaguely to do with future spins.

Thinking the “balance” and averages will tell you which numbers are due:

The Newest Roulette Systems That Work

Let’s say over 10,000 spins, 45% are black, and 55% are red. Would you bet black thinking the “balance” will eventually occur? If you think this, you haven’t learned what I’ve written above. The odds are no different no matter what present “imbalance” of red/black there is. Don’t believe me? Test it thoroughly for yourself, as countless others have before you.

Progression (increasing / decreasing bet size):

If you increase the bet size to cover losses, all you are doing is creating the opportunity to either get very lucky and win big, or blow your entire bankroll in spectacular fashion. You need to keep in mind no matter what has happened in previous spins, the odds of an event taking place are still the same. I’ll give an example:

You wait for 10 reds in a row, then bet on black thinking it is due. But red spins again. You then double up your bet, but lose again. This happens again and again until you reach the maximum bet at the table, then even if you win, it makes no difference and why? Because the payouts are unfair, so when when you win, you still actually lose.

Even if there were no table betting limits at all, the situation would be no different. But the reason casinos have betting limits is because someone could get very lucky, and bankrupt them with huge winning bets.

What DOES Beat Roulette in the Long-term?

Einstein once said the only way to beat a roulette table is to steal money when the croupier wasn’t looking. Many people interpret this as him saying you cannot win at roulette. What he said was about the TABLE, not the game of roulette. Einstein said you cannot beat the table, and he is right. This is because the table is a scattered representation of the wheel, and it is scattered and “randomized” for good reason: you cannot predict the exact number where the ball will land, but you can realistically predict the general area on the wheel the ball will land – not with perfect accuracy, but enough to overcome the issue of the unfair payouts.

Putting this into perspective, consider two scenarios:

Scenario 1 – Guaranteed losing player

Player 1 is betting reds only. Reds are every second pocket. There is no way this player can determine where the ball will land within the accuracy of 1 pocket. Because the payouts are unfair, this player is guaranteed to eventually lose their bankroll.

Scenario 2: Player that at least has a chance of winning consistently

Player 2 can skillfully observe the ball when it is at a slow speed, and based on the wheel position when the ball has approximately 6 or so seconds before falling, he/she can determine where the ball is more likely to land. Of course they aren’t god so they can’t be 100% accurate, but they achieve an accuracy better than completely random. And since the house edge is only around 2.5% (the payouts are only marginally unfair), the slight accuracy he/she achieves is enough to win consistently, even over tens of millions of spins (assuming they had that kind of time). Like the casino usually takes your money with a small house edge, this player will slowly but surely profit.

To summarize, the ONLY way you can beat roulette consistently is by increasing the accuracy of predictions. UNLESS YOUR METHOD DOES THIS, YOU EVENTUAL LOSS IS A SCIENTIFIC AND MATHEMATICAL CERTAINTY.

The Roulette Systems That Beat Casinos

Roulette has nothing to do with the betting table. The winning number is determined by a wheel and ball. And now that you know the only way to beat roulette consistently is by increasing the accuracy, the question is: HOW do you increase the accuracy of predictions?

This is not as hard as you’d think. Keep in mind the house edge (unfair payouts) are only minor, so you only need relatively minor accuracy to overcome it and win consistently. When blackjack card counting was all the rage, the best players were only getting 2-3% edges, whereas with roulette, you can literally achieve over an 80% edge. So you can understand why for professional casino players who know best, roulette is the best choice. Beating roulette may be trickier than blackjack, but when you do it right, the edge is far, far greater. For myself personally, I know I’d rather not spend days and days at the blackjack table for a tiny edge, when it is quicker and more profitable at the roulette wheel when done right.

Ok now we are aware that roulette is all about a wheel and ball, and we are aware of the unfair payouts and the need to increase accuracy of predictions. So HOW do we increase the accuracy of predictions? In other words, how do you determine where a little ball will fall? Voodoo perhaps? Betting progression? Think about the most logical approach before continuing… What would Einstein, a physicist look at? What rules govern the behavior of a little ball? Physics, of course.

If you’re new to roulette, you’d probably think predicting where the ball will land with any kind of accuracy is impossible. After all, the ball bounces all over the place, right? Truth is there are actually countless ways to achieve predictions that not only overcome the house edge, they obliterate it.

You need to understand in reality it is much more difficult for a roulette wheel developer to create a wheel that produces truly unpredictable spins than it is for a knowledgable player to predict spins with enough accuracy to overcome the house edge. There are wheels that produce spins that are quite difficult to predict, but by no means impossible – and with such wheels, or any wheel, it is almost impossible for casinos to maintain the wheel in a state whereby spins are at a maximum of unpredictability. So while you may initially think spins are unpredictable, there are actually many legitimate methods to predict roulette spins, and beat roulette consistently.

Here’s What Really Does Beat Roulette

1. Roulette Computers (best) Electronic devices that are legal in most jurisdictions. They take timings of the wheel and ball to predict where the ball is most likely to land. The player then makes a late bet before no more bets is called. Below is a video of one of my roulette computers being publicly demonstrated:

2. Visual Ballistics: This is basically what a roulette computer does, but by using your eyesight. It is less effective than computers, but legal everywhere. Visual ballistic techniques form part of the techniques I teach. See below for a free tutorial video that explains the basics of visual ballistics:

3. Bias Analysis: exploiting physical imperfections of wheels. Yes you may have heard biased wheels don’t exist today. The truth of the matter is EVERY wheel is imperfect to some degree, and every wheel has at least some bias. But rarely is this bias alone strong enough to overcome the house edge. As part of the course I offer, you learn how to conduct a proper analysis for wheel bias. See the free bias analysis course.

Once these methods were secret, casinos didn’t believe roulette could be beaten, and only those that used them knew about them. Now they are somewhat common knowledge to professional players and casinos alike, and you’ll occasionally see TV documentaries about players having won millions. While there are actually quite a few other methods, they are today’s secrets, and tomorrows TV documentaries.

If you think you can’t possibly predict spins, with enough accuracy to overcome the house edge, with bets BEFORE the ball is even released and on modern wheels the “experts” consider unbeatable, you are very wrong – and you will know this perhaps when it is too late to take advantage of the knowledge. Casinos have a growing awareness of the newest techniques to beat roulette, but they are still largely ignorant. Many are starting to implement procedures (countermeasures) that make application of the latest techniques more difficult. However, I still have never found a wheel I’d consider impossible to beat. In my experience, every wheel is beatable one way or another (even without electronics), but not every wheel is “practical” to beat. A wheel may be “impractical” to beat for varied reasons, such as it only spinning once every 5 minutes which is simply too infrequent.

In conclusion, don’t bother with outside betting. If you understood that I’ve written, you’d understand why outside betting is suicide. Don’t bother with betting progression. The only way to beat roulette is by understanding the physics of the roulette wheel. This will enable you to determine what patterns are likely to form, how to represent such patterns in a practical form, and how to apply the knowledge. If you’d like to know more about my methods, start by reading my site, and/or purchase the book “Living Energies” by Callum Coats – this and diligence will lead you to types of patterns that are exhibited on every wheel, and the casinos appear to know absolutely nothing about them.

Put Into Simpler Terms:

If the above is too much information for you, the below is simpler:

1. No matter what the previous spins were, they do not at all change the odds of one or another number spinning next.

2. As per #1 above, no matter how you select where to bet, looking at previous spins in any way does not determine the future (with the exception of real wheels and understanding physics)

3. If you increase bet size after losses, combine points #1 and #2, and you’ll understand all you’re doing is just increasing the amount you’ll either win or lose on the next spin.

These facts are IRREFUTABLE. If you understand them, you will understand why almost every system fails.

For example, let’s say you waited until over 100 spins, there were 80 reds and only 20 blacks. You may think there are bound to be more blacks soon, so you bet on black. But you are wrong. The odds of black spinning next are exactly the same as they’ve always been, so you are still going to lose.

Another example: you see 10 reds in a row, and bet on black thinking it is due. But the odds of black spinning next has not and never will change. Red spins again and again, and you keep doubling your bet. Each time you double your bet, you are NOT increasing your chances of winning – you are increasing the amount you are likely to lose. What will happen is you will either get lucky and win, or blow your bankroll. This may give you some good short term profits, but if you continue to do it, you will absolutely definitely eventually deplete your bankroll. It might happen the first few spins, or you might get lucky and end up profiting after about 100 spins.

I have seen RNG systems win after 10,000 spins, but does this mean they are legitimate long term winners? No! It just means that over those 10,000 spins, the system has been very lucky. Try it over a different 10,000 spins and chances are the results will be quite different. Even constantly betting red alone with no system at all can give you a profit over 10,000 spins.

Summary:

Don’t try to correlate spins to each other unless you are dealing with a real wheel. If you ARE dealing with a real wheel, understand the relationships between spin has nothing to do with anything being “due” – it has to do with the physics of the wheel. You simply cannot beat roulette when there is no real wheel and ball involved. Believe me casinos aren’t concerned about losing money from slot machines, and that’s what RNG software roulette is. But casinos certainly are concerned about losing money from players on real roulette wheels.

Understand this doesn’t mean you cant beat online roulette, because many casinos allow you to play against real physical wheels via webcam. You can use the free system I provide at such online casinos, but I only specify which ones to my players. Otherwise you can simply do your own research to find them.

Nobody likes risk, unless you are seeking a thrill. Certainly when it comes to money, we all want to minimize risk. Hence why you are searching for a sure win roulette system.

I’m going to tell you how it is, which is not necessarily what you want to hear. The truth isn’t always convenient. Any website that tells you roulette can be beaten 100% of the time is “not being honest”. You probably guessed I’m not going to say roulette can be beaten every time. That isn’t exactly the case. There’s a lot more to the story as I will explain on this page.

Does a 100% Guaranteed Roulette System Exist?

The simple answer is yes in some cases, but no in most cases. It’s a technical question. It depends on many variables.

The first thing to understand is roulette is not the same between different casinos. The type of roulette is the first consideration.

For example, there’s random number generator roulette, which doesn’t use any physical wheel. The winning numbers are determined by a random number generator. So essentially it is a slot machine, the real roulette wheel.

Any Roulette Systems That Work

In other cases, the roulette wheel may be physically real, but spun by automated mechanisms. An example of this is the Cammegh Slingshot.

The roulette you usually encounter in real casinos involves a real physical wheel, and a live dealer. What can be achieved on each type of roulette is discussed below.

Random Number Generator Roulette

Remember this isn’t real roulette. It is just a slot machine with fancy roulette animations. The reason you generally lose on slot machines is because of the discrepancy between odds and payout. This is otherwise known as the house edge.

The typical example I use to explain the house edge is as follows: on the European wheel there are 37 pockets. So the odds of winning on a single pocket is 1 in 37. However, the payout is 35 to 1. This payout is below the odds, therefore it’s unfair. Essentially even when you win, you still lose because the payout is unfair. This is how the casino gradually erodes your bankroll.

To profit consistently, you must win more frequently than with random bets. Another way of saying it is you need to increase the accuracy of predictions. Yet another way of saying it is you need to increase your odds.

Random number generators are specifically designed to produce random outcomes. They are designed to be unpredictable. So if your system is something like “wait for 5 reds nn a row, then bet black”, you are going to lose. It doesn’t matter what patterns you think you see, it’s just your mind playing tricks.

So is there any sure or guaranteed way of beating RNG roulette? Yes, but only if the software that generates random numbers is flawed. This may be a result of poor design. You would think that significant flaws only occur with low-grade software, from smaller companies. But there have been cases of enormous multi-billion-dollar companies that released flawed random number generator software in slot machines. This was exploited by Russian hackers, who made a fortune in a short amount of time. The problem still exists with some of the slot machines, although they may have since been replaced. So this is at least proof that random number generators can be flawed and exploited.

However, it takes a great deal of statistical analysis to uncover flaws. In the case of the Russian hackers, they actually purchased the slot machines in question. This allowed them to thoroughly study the machine. If you were to apply the same statistical analysis at online casinos, you would need to spend probably tens of thousands of dollars at the casino to have enough data. And even then, there’s a very slim chance you would uncover any flaw.

Assuming the spins from random number generators are properly random, it is not possible to overcome the house edge. This means that house edge remains at -2.7% for European wheels, and -5.26% for American wheels. See gamerules.com for details on rules of other games.

Real Wheel Roulette

Real wheels are very different because they involve real physics. Instead of being random, there are numerous anomalies that make roulette spins predictable. Again this only applies to real physical wheels.

Where the ball lands on a real wheel depends on physical variables, such as the rotor and ball speeds. These can be physically measured, which in turn can predict where the ball is most likely to land. Prediction accuracy may not be perfect, but doesn’t need to be.

Even with only slightly accurate predictions, it’s quite easy to overcome the house edge. Professional roulette strategies are capable of achieving edges over 80%. This doesn’t mean you win 100% of the time though.

Let’s put it into perspective. Consider again the European wheel, which has 37 pockets. If you average 1 win every 15 spins, this is an enormous edge over the casino. But it would still be impossible to win on 100% of the spins. After all, there is always an element of luck.

Although the casino has a normal 2.7% edge over players, it’s still possible the casino loses money from time to time. After all, some players may get lucky. In fact the casino counts on this, to encourage difficulties in place to continue playing.

Understanding Statistical Variance

Let’s assume you have a very high edge over the casino. Because anything can happen in the short term. Even with a strong edge over the casino, you may still lose. Again this is the same case for a casino, which normally has the edge over players. Even when a casino makes a loss, they know over time they’ll make back losses. Even when casinos offer bonuses, they are carefully weighted to ensure they don’t lose money. Visit casino-bonus.com to understand how bonuses work.

My point is technically it’s not 100% guaranteed that casinos will profit. This is again because anything can happen in the short term stop over the long-term, it’s extremely close to 100% guaranteed that the casino will profit. This is exactly the same case with you, as the player. That is if you have an edge of the casino.

So if you have a legitimate edge over the casino, the more you play, the closer to 100% guaranteed profits you’ll get. This is at least in theory, because we’re not considering the possibility that the casino can ban you if they suspect you of being a professional player.
