I’ve seen a lot of systems that use some sort of progressive betting that can quickly become unreachable for small bankrolls.  Anyone have a system that could help stretch out my bankroll so I dont end up going home early?

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.

great advice!

Small BR? Dont play, my opinion.  Ken

Sound advice I’d like to mention.  Another way is that you could Google “low stakes casino” and there are a whole bunch of sites you can play.  Your losses would be less if you took £100 to the tables when the minimum bet is only £0.10.  Hope this helps :D I use this method with a system.  There is a link to it somewhere on this forum in one of my posts. I think we’ll all agree that little wins are better than huge losses lol.

Hey buddy,
                I suggest you to play with betvoyager casino where you can play even with one cent. This casino has no zero roulette also. If you want a good system for low bankroll mail me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

why am I revealing the secret now? Why? Well, sad to say, I have been diagnosed with an incurable disease and my time is limited. I spent half of my life trying to beat roulette. And when it becomes possible, my life comes to an end.

PLEASE GIVE ME A F…ING BREAK!

STUPID ANALYSIS, the idea of a martingale is that you recover previous losses. this system where you select 5 numbers has no strategy!

Absolutely Yes - there is a way for you to play with a limited bankroll.

In fact the casino has more money than 99.999% of the players and it sets limits on how much a person can bet. So even the richest person would still need a sensible wagering system that didn’t escalate their bets quickly. More money simply means betting at a higher level for most people. Very few people would start with $1000 and play with $5.00 chips.

You might wish to flat bet 1 unit for a few turns - maybe 20. If you are down then you could bet 2 units for another 20 turns or until you have a profit (at which point you could bet 1 unit again).

Setting goals and keeping records are important

Playing games with a lower house edge helps.

Progressive loss remains all too familiar with the game of roulette.

This may not seem too flash for the high rollers, but i remained at a table for a considerable time with a technique i used on the small scales.

I;e We’re talking small amounts of change

Lets take $ 20.00 for instance

I use this for 50/50 odds bets only and it refers to swinging favour.

I bet my $ 1.00 on red - if it misses

I bet another $ 1.00 on red

When red hits - i double the bet - if it misses then

I go back to one dollar

This routine has enabled me to climb to 30 dollars many a time

The trick is sticking with your colour whilst at the table, stake it out and as soon as you can see a 50 percent profit, you run away.

Of course luck is key, but swinging favours luck slightly one way - stay with your colour

As always in roulette - be prepared to lose what you put down - and play fierce and precise with your chosen colour.

1. Take you time
2. Spread
3. Don’t Push
4. Take a small profit and leave.

Stay with around a 20 percent marginal rake back

For instance, if you go into a roulette table with $20.00 for your session, get out when your upswing passes $24.00. In high fluctuation games like roulette and slot machines, it’s difficult to hit high margins on a regular basis. I know people attempt 100 percent return rates, but this can take hours when balancing the books.

$4.00 profit does not seem much, but do that a few times a day, build a confident bankroll and you’ll be returning in no time.

In roulette value does not matter, if you can make $24.00 out of $20.00, then you can make $24000 out of $20000.

Concentrate on the principle first, then in time, let your habits do the work.

Good luck

What do you consider a small bank roll?

That’s a pretty relative term.

What do you consider a small bank roll?

That’s a pretty relative term.

Couldn’t agree more.

I think the measure should definitely be in “Units” too.

For some people (for instance plenty of baccarat players) anything more than 20 units is a large bank; for roulette players it is not uncommon to see advices of bankrolls in the 150+ or 500+ units, due to the more single bets roulette players usually make on the straight-up numbers OR due to the larger steps in progressions roulette players tend to be OK to play.

So dear LNH, what do YOU consider “a small bank” (in units), that’s the starting point!

Regards.
