Roulette Blog

Not sure if i have blogged about this before but I was looking at systems again today, roulette betting systems and things like that. The main one which popped up everywhere with no escape from it is the martingale system. Some later on tonight I am going to test the system out using a free play account, to be fair i will limit my playing time to 15 minutes and see what’s up, or down. 15 minutes is my allocated time on testing the system over 2 weeks or 14 days as an experiment.

Wikipedia have a whole article about the martingale system here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system) - you can read all that but its basically doubling up if you lose.

With all gambing you face a win or lose situation, ultimately those are the two possible outcomes. Most of the time casinos win, this is because gamblers never really know when to quit. For this reason I limit my playing to either time or money.

So for the next two weeks I am playing roulette for 15 minutes a day while testing out the martingale system. The results will be posted once the experiment is complete. Wish me luck

Tonight i fancied a spin on the roulette wheel after watching some program on bbc tv with Louis Theroux about gambers in vegas, well that got me in the mood and i had a fiver to spare. Did a quick search for a good looking live roulette online website and found one of my favourite bookies. Check out the review of bet fred casino and have a look at the site, pretty good actually and was super easy because they took paypal, that was a bonus.

Using the martingale system, that one where you double up and go crazy until you either lose or get your money back. I managed to make it last for about 9 spins at the table min of 5, not to bad but i lost it all in the end, pretty addictive and its fun to have the dealer talk to you. Might go back and put some more in at the weekend and see if i can win my money back, they have some kind of bonus offer that i’ll have to look into .

Over Christmas i took a break and played some roulette which if you were in France would mean little or small wheel, this is because the game came from there. Anyway i had a great time and i played at a few places. I thought because it was Christmas i would play for money, i was only playing on the small tables with limits of £1 and 25 at bet 365 roulette, I found the review over at a live roulette site so thought id give it a go.

IT was funny to watch the chatter box, one person thought they were on their own and the only one playing roulette in the world then suddenly about 20 other people started typing stuff in like hello and happy Christmas, it was funny you could even see the dealer laughing. Every now and again they would type stuff in between spins. One night i walked away with a profit but i had a few drinks the next night and lost it all. Drinking and playing gambling games is never a good idea, take my word for it, its a good thing i was only playing on the smaller tables.

While playing i did get one opportunity to play the martingale system which one me a pound back, there had been a run of 9 blacks so reds were my bet, starting with a quid then doubling to two if i lost then 4 etc. At this point everyone was talking in the chat bit saying Red,red red! it was a tense few minutes and thankfully eventually the ball bounced about and finally settled in a red so this ment i was up a quid but it took a few goes and at one point i didnt know if i had enough chips to survive. Thats the problem with that system you can quickly reach the limits and if the colour still hasnt rolled in you are doomed. Changed strategy after that and i was just betting on anything i felt to be lucky. I enjoyed playing at the 365 site, while i was there blackjack attracted me and i played a couple of hands, much prefer roulette though.
