What makes a good Roulette System?

[Proofreaders2000]

I'd like to think a good system should be easy to remember, quick to initiate and makes 10% or better of your bankroll in about 15-20 minutes.  Any thoughts?

15-20 minutes??  My 5-10 hours of play per visit looks like I'm on the right track.  Ken

One that wins every time with flat bets.

One that wins every time with flat bets.

Shorty,  wouldn't that be "The Holy Grail"?  Would you settle for one that wins more than it looses over a period of time?

Haha I was joking.  I don't play systems seriously anymore.

Okay, the answer should be ANY system that wins more than loses.

Having answered that, I also have to say this. In my humble opinion, explosive systems aren't consistent enough. I am biased towards slow systems ("mills" & grinds).

With a slow system you see clearly when you are on a bad run and it is worth gold too; the main idea of a system to me is to win and lose systematically; this way you are fluctuating and can choose to quit when you are up a conservative ammount and quit in the sight of a losing tendency.

Losing slowly gives you time to realize the losing trend is on, and have the option to quit before giving it all back. Better to save remaining units to either split them or save them for piggybacking a session when you are facing a more positive tram.

You can't quit explosive systems so easily until you are broke, there is no middle point. You either see heaven or hell. A Martingale-like system is to eat like a bird and poo like an elephant.

I DON'T have it yet but a good system would consist of the following, I think:

1. playing few numbers per spin (say, 14 and under)
2. easy to caculate mentally if required (no pen and paper needed)
3. predictable and relatively easy loss recovery (not requiring large progressions)


Can it be done? Well, WHAT can't be done?? (my philosophy)

Those 3 points sound like a good mantra to me new Ken.....[smiley=thumbsup.gif]

"elephant poo"

@ Victor

Truth be told, it's the best fertilizer known to man.  They sell it at zoos and call it "Zoo Do".  I think "Zoo Poo" would be even better.

Sure, XMAN. Of course, careful study of the game can yeild avenues to explore. One of the things I (and surely others) have considered potentially exploitable, for example, is the fact of repeating nos in a 38 spin cycle, and also that each 38 spins will contain usually 24/25 nos. I've seen some attempts to utilise that data("Raindrops" is intriguing), but feel better things are yet to come.
But that's only one area---there are obviously many others equally worthy of attention.

And then there are those folks who, tantalisingly, say they have the grail already!...

Every bodies definition of the "Grail" is different for each of us.....


AS for the people claiming they have the grail, well be weary of a "wise man" bearing gifts.....

I think one of the first things you learn in this pursuit is to be wary

Dear friends, there IS such a thing as a PERSONAL holy grail. For instance, for somebody going scarcely ever to the casino who has never seen a 10+ run of reds, the holy grail is.... a 10-step martingale (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512). He can claim to have a system that has never lost him a session and he is telling the turth, but what a system that is!

So, in short: PERSONAL holy grail, beating PERSONAL sets of experienced actuals = YES, completely possible and many have it already. Be it based on the layout, the disk, the dealers or as per any other way the player faces the game.

UNIVERSAL holy grail, beating every set of numbers in the world, for every roulette in existance, for every non-stop simulation... well: there will always be "one million more spins to beat" to claim the system beats infinity, so... make your own conclusions as to the existance of an universal grail

In my opinion what we as players must aim is to have a system that nets more than it loses for each one of us, for our personal roulette experience. It doesn't matter if the system doesn't beat a certain roulette overseas.

Many of the systems players use to grind their units are useless in simulations over millions spins. ATILA (the person) said he couldn't care about the progression not beating the simulations (i.e. bruteforcing the progression until it losses). As long as it worked for him in a good ratio for the nights he visits the casinos it is okay.

Netting more than losing is the key, said by almost every successful player I know.
