Roulette - Making a living from a game of chance.

It is possible because I have done it. Using the controversial Martingale System I managed to make £300.00 last December playing European Roulette online. However, that was what was left of the carnage after loosing £256.00 beforehand. I got scared an I have never been able to go back to playing roulette again. Until now.

With a £20.00 deposit and a £10.00 bonus I set about trying to make money with a new betting system. This one spreads the risk of loosing over a greater number of bets, so you don't risk huge amounts of money if things go wrong. It also aims to get you ahead eventually, no matter how many times you have lost.

It goes a little something like this:-

(This system is best used with the outside bets and on the European Roulette table),

If you get a piece of paper and write 5 1's in a row. (1-1-1-1-1).

Add the first and the last number together = 2 (this is going to be your first bet) if you win, cross of the first and the last number; it should look like this (X-1-1-1-X). Carry on as above. If you are lucky and keep winning you will come 5 units out on top.

If you lose you place the last bet at the end of the line and add it to the first number (1-1-1-1-1-2). 3 is then going to be your next bet, if you win cross the numbers off (X-1-1-1-1-1-X), If you lose add the three to the end of the line and start again. Your next number will then be 4. Continuing until all the numbers on the line are crossed out.

It is best to start this on a table that has a low minimum bet. Casino Tropez offers the European Roulette for a minimum bet of 10p. It is a good idea to start the betting off at this amount because it does not eat into your money as fast as the £1.00 tables. The aim is to build your bankroll up slowly and steadily.

It is also a good idea not to play for too long. The longer you play the more you are likely to lose. Play for short periods of time and then leave. You can always come back a few hours later. Don't visit the casino every day unless you intend to play the slots, and don't win more than £100-150 per session.

Good luck and happy winning.
