The best thing I can tell you is not to use progressive betting systems. People that employ systems such as the Martingale are facing the exact same house edge as opposed to someone who just flat bets one number the whole time they’re playing. Martingale users will bet like this (worst case scenario…)
Bet $10 lose
Bet $20 lose
Bet $40 lose
Bet $80 lose
Bet $160 lose
Bet $320 lose
Bet $640 lose
Bet $1280 and lose
See how progressive betting systems add up? That’s 8 losses in a row just to win $10. My heart couldn’t take that. Let’s look at the cumulative losses for this system. That’s $2,550 lost in just 8 measly spins. Here’s what you do for those same 8 spins. This is only going to cost you $80…
If your table minimum is $10, select 5 numbers and put $2 on each. Play for 8 spins. If you win, great! If not, well you’re only out $80 as opposed to your neighbor who lost $2,550. If you win, walk away a winner.
