There are plenty of games to choose from at the casino, and they all provide players with such fun and excitement.

However, when it comes to the thrill and tension of a game, roulette is almost unrivalled. The speed at which it is played and the way it grips you as the wheel spins makes it a real favourite among players, whether you are at one of the many land-based casinos operating in the North West or are just on your phone.

While there are no guaranteed ways to get results, and part of the fun is the unpredictability, there are a few approaches you can take when it comes to each spin; here we look at three different ways that could help you find your online roulette strategy.

Martingale

This is the most common roulette strategy, and it’s a fairly easy one to follow. Quite simply, you just double your stake when you lose the bet. So, if you placed a £1 wager on black, you would double it to £2, then £4 if it landed on red or zero and continue that way. Of course, you have to be betting on the outcomes that are near 50:50, such as red or black and odd or even, but that’s the only rule to it.

The obvious positive with that is that you will eventually make a profit once the ball lands on your colour and that is why it’s a commonly used strategy. But, there is a risk to it as well. You can quickly get through a lot of money and if your bankroll isn’t big enough it could end your play in no time, so that must also be taken into consideration.

Fibonacci

Another option would be for the Fibonacci, which is based on the maths formula in which the next number in the sequence is decided by adding the previous two together.

For example; 1 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 8 – 13 – 21 – 34 – 55 – 89 – 144 and so on. If you do win, you are to go back two places in the sequence each time. The risks associated with this are clear to see, but it is a safer option in the sense that you can lose more bets than you win and still end up with a profit overall in certain situations.

This strategy dates back to the 12th and 13th century, and you could still see it being used on the trading floors in Spinningfields. It even has links to architecture, with the Gorton Monastery designed using this exact mathematical principle.

D’Alembert

This is a very simple strategy to follow as it involves the player just raising the stake by one after each bet that loses. So, if you started with £1, you would go to £2, £3, £4 etc. if the ball landed on a different colour.

Of course, that makes it a safer strategy than the other two as it means you aren’t going through your bankroll at anywhere near the same rate. Yet, some see it as a pretty pointless system, and if you found yourself on a losing streak it would still eat up your budget pretty quickly.
