Roulette News: Beware Roulette Spam

We are all used to spam emails and normally know what to do with them; delete them immediately. Sometimes however something looks a little too intriguing to totally ignore, and this applies to a new roulette system that is currently circulating on the internet. It is always tempting to believe that there just might be a way to beat the casino reliably.

Ever since roulette became popular in eighteenth century France, there have been numerous attempts to devise systems that will beat the wheel. Sometimes these have demonstrated short term gains, but in the end they have brought about ruin and devastation.

Roulette is a gambling game that should be played for entertainment along with the prospect of making a bit of money. We normal Roulette players know that on a good night we will win, and on a bad night we will lose. We do not set about playing the game with the intention of getting rich from it. We play it because we enjoy playing it, as entertainment, not a job. There is no such thing as a professional player of the roulette wheel. Many people have attempted to make their fortunes on this game using a variety of special strategies, but there are no documented cases of long term winners.

 The system that is currently doing the rounds is based on two false assumptions: that the spin of the wheel can be influenced by the results of previous spins and that progressive betting systems work.

A progressive betting system is one that bases the size of a bet on the results of a previous bet. Although these systems can be quite complex, the simplest form is known as the Martindale system. With this you are recommended to double your bet after each loss. Say you bet £10 on black and it wins, you win £10. If it loses you raise your bet to £20. If it wins, then overall you will have won £10. If it loses you should then raise your bet to £40 and so on. The theory is that eventually the wheel will spin a red. The fallacy is that it will certainly spin a red before you have to bet everything you have in order to win £10.

The other fallacy of the system, that is that the spin of the wheel depends on the results of previous spins, is supposedly justified by several pages of statistics that are might appear convincing but are farcical. If you receive this spam, then delete it immediately.
