This article explains simple truth so you know how to win at roulette, whether it be online or at real casinos. Very rarely is related advice provided by people with real experience. I've been playing roulette for over 15 years, and managing professional teams for over 5 years. Here I explain the truth about beating roulette so you can decide whether or not it's for you. Really the life of a professional player is not for everyone. In fact most people don't have the right mindset.
Can You Really Win at Roulette, or Are You Wasting Time?
The short answer is yes you can win, but you can't beat all types of roulette and in all casinos. But before I continue, I'll explain what should be obvious to anyone.
The Internet is full of self-professed experts who think they know about everything, including winning at roulette. You can find such people on forums, websites like Yahoo answers or just random comment threads. Next to none of these people have any experience with legitimate methods that beat roulette, so it should be no surprise they aren't going to know what they're talking about. They get their 'expert knowledge' from other 'experts' who similarly have no real experience, other than reading what some other 'expert' said. You get the picture. It's the same case with virtually any topic on the Internet; a bunch of people who really know nothing.
You can't beat roulette with gambling systems, but you can through dealer signatures, wheel bias and gadgets. Out of these, dealer signatures is the best route to go because it's both legal and still relevant. Assuming you can spot a dealer signature and win consistently using the system I covered above, then you could win over $100 per hour. Roulette is a drain on your wallet simply because the game doesn't pay what the bets are worth. With 38 numbers (1 to 36, plus 0 and 00), the true odds of hitting a single number on a straight-up bet are 37 to 1, but the house pays only 35 to 1 if you win! Ditto the payouts on the combination bets. But you can use this system on any bet available at the roulette table. The reason why most players use the even money bets is because they offer the best odds to win. On a single zero roulette wheel you win 18 out of every 37 spins on average on an even money bet, which means you win 48.65% of the time.
Who Can Reliably Answer The Question: Can Roulette Be Beaten?
When I say 'beaten', I mean real winnings over extended periods of time. I don't mean lucky wins or short-term play.
Probably the most obvious people to ask about winning roulette would be casino staff. After all, they spend a lot of time around roulette wheels. However, their job is not to study the wheel and ways to beat it. When it comes to someone like a dealer, they'll mostly just spin the wheel. If you have your own wheel at home, the chances are you'll have spun the wheel more times than a typical dealer. Having experience with a wheel certainly helps to understand the physics involved, but it is more keen observation that can uncover clues relating to the predictability of spins. I'll explain more about this later.
If roulette was being 'consistently' beaten, you'd expect that casino staff would at least have come across consistently winning players. In the past 15 or so years, I've come to meet and know many casino employees including dealers, pit bosses and even casino owners. Of course different individuals have different knowledge, but the general attitude towards the concept of beating roulette is as follows:
Dealers: Most dealers believe roulette can be beaten, but only under strict and rare conditions. For example, they may consider 'wheel bias'. This is essentially when there is a physical defect of the wheel that makes certain numbers win more than others.
Sometimes, dealers have heard of other methods like electronic devices (roulette computers), but they only have a very vague understanding of the conditions under which such technology is effective. Sometimes a casino consultant has been hired by their casino, and provided a training course to help them spot professional roulette players. But rather than it be a proper course, it is more of a crash course explaining the very basics.
Overall, most dealers only have a very vague understanding of legitimate methods to beat roulette. Generally they know it's possible, but don't expect they'll ever encounter a professional player. What they usually see is a constant stream of losing players at their table.
Pit bosses: these are the serious-looking people that usually oversee a group of 2-4 roulette wheels at a time. They do everything from handle any disputes, communicate with surveillance about whatever, and generally make sure all the dealers are doing their job and that everything runs smoothly.
When it comes to understanding roulette prediction, they rarely have significantly better knowledge than the dealers. Again they know roulette can be beaten under the right circumstances, but they also know for every 1,000 players you see, you'd be lucky for even one of them to have a method that is a threat to the casino's money.
Casino owners: Many owners have very little knowledge about their own games. They tend to view the casino as a revenue source and investment at a very different level. After all, it's not their job to be on the gaming floor – their job is more confined to a board room. But for smaller casinos where the boss takes a more 'hands-on' approach, the owner again has not much more knowledge than a common dealer. More importantly, they will at least be aware of the risk of professional players. They call them 'advantage players'. They know they exist. They know very well even individual professional players have taken casinos for many millions. But their perspective is at a much higher level, and professional players are seen more as an accepted hazard, not without measures to deal with them. Kind of like an annoying bee that can do harm, but aren't difficult to squish once you know about them.
It's also much like a retail store that may make $1M in sales each year, but $10,000 is lost each year due to theft. In other words, the retail store knows it's almost impossible to stop 100% of theft. Technically they could stop 100%, but it would mean taking measures that would make honest customers feel uncomfortable, and this alone may lose more revenue than they save. So all the retail store can do is follow the best procedures to limit the losses from thieves. This is how a casino boss often view 'advantage players'.
Evidence That Roulette Can Be Beaten
You'd think that if someone could beat roulette, that it would make headlines and they'd win the Nobel Prize. Actually the truth is winning at roulette isn't rocket science – it's more about using the right approach for the right wheel and conditions as I'll explain later. Anyway I'll refer to four particular high profile cases of roulette players winning fortunes:
Joseph Jagger: You may have heard the song 'The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo'. This was the first record of anyone exploiting roulette wheel bias. In today's money, he earned millions. The casino staff couldn't figure out how he was winning. Eventually, they changed the wheels (or rather a part of the wheel relating to the defect) and he didn't notice. This inevitably changed the patterns he was following, and he lost much of his winnings. He still walked away with a fortune. Philadelphia mississippi casino golf course.
Pelayo family: This is a family of Spanish players who also exploited roulette wheel bias. Despite the history and what happened with Joseph Jagger, the casino staff still had no idea how the Pelayo family was winning. They could not lawfully ban them, so they started changing the conditions at the wheel. For example, they tried speeding up the wheel spins. But this actually helps wheel bias players because the parts that cause the bias are more likely to influence ball behaviour, resulting in a statical anomaly (the bias). Eventually the Pelayo family were illegally and physically removed from the casinos they were winning at, so they were forced to play elsewhere. But they had become so well known that it was near impossible for them to continue winning discretely. They began with a bankroll of about $2000, and profited around $1,000,000. See the video below:
Laszlo Kovacs: This happened a few years ago in Star City casino in Australia. He used an electronic device (roulette computer) to calculate the speed of the wheel and ball and predict where the ball is most likely to land. He won about $200,000 before the casino staff noticed he was winning a little too often. But according to casino staff, what initially gave him away was the tapping of his foot, not his winnings. He was tapping his foot because a hidden button in his shoe was pressed when the ball and green zero completed revolutions (to measure speeds). Laszlo was charged with casino cheating under Australian law, but was deported without being convicted, and was allowed to keep his winnings.
Ritz team: This happened a few years ago too. A team of 3 professional players win over US$2M in 3 days. Nobody but the players themselves know what technology they used, although they were caught with various mobile phones and electronic devices. Based on reports from casino staff who reviewed the footage of them winning, their behaviour and bets were consistent with roulette computer application. These are the devices also used by Laszlo Kovacs. The team was allowed to keep their winnings because they had not broken any law. These devices continue to he LEGAL in the UK and many other parts of the world. But legal or not, casinos will of course do what they must to stop you winning. So you need to use them very discretely. See the TV documentary about the team below:
There have actually been many other cases in the news. And certainly far more cases do not make the headlines. To summarize, basically there is enough evidence to support that even the casinos know roulette can be beaten. But mostly the casino staff don't understand it. However, they do they 'need' to understand it – they only need to monitor for consistently winning players, then take whatever action is appropriate to stop casino losses.
What Does and Doesn't Work?
It's important to note that with all the known methods that have worked and even made headlines, the physics of the roulette wheel was involved. As far as I'm aware, there has never been a case where a player has won millions over sustained and long-term periods of play without using physics. Certainly players have won millions with sheer luck. But I'm referring to methods that have repeatable success.
The common factors of the effective methods:
- Real roulette wheels only
- Roulette wheel physics
- Inside bets based on sectors of the wheel
I'm not aware of any legitimately effective method that beats roulette, without all of the above factors.
How Can You Win At Roulette Today?
Roulette is not much different from how it was 6-8 years ago. But it's quite different to how it was 50+ years ago. Naturally, as casinos learn about how roulette is beaten, they will do what is reasonable to limit losses from professional players. Again they presently can't do this fully without losing revenue. For example, to prevent roulette computer users from measuring the ball speed and betting late, the dealer can call no more bets earlier. This will stop a roulette computer player from winning. But it will also stop the average losing player from placing late bets that lose. For every 1 roulette computer player, there may be 50,000 normal players. So it is not viable for casinos to fully forbid late bets.
To limit losses to professional roulette players (advantage players), casinos rely on:
- Detecting consistent winners, then applying countermeasures (like forbidding late bets) until the consistent winner either loses or leaves. Then the casino can resume normal procedures.
- Using roulette wheels and technology that makes roulette spins less predictable.
There are far more undetected professional players than those who are detected. So for professional players, avoiding detection is mostly a matter of not being greedy and winning more modest amounts.
As for modern roulette wheel technology: there's no doubt that wheels are getting harder to beat. But it is actually much harder to design a wheel with completely unpredictable spins than it is to develop a method which at least slightly increases the accuracy of the player's winning number predictions. And to overcome the casino's typical small edge of -2.7% is not at all difficult – it only requires the roulette player to only have slightly better than random accuracy when predicting the winning number. In suitable conditions, this is not at all difficult to achieve. This is the key to winning at roulette.

Having Realistic Expectations
If you do proper research, you'll understand that it is not only possible to win at roulette, it is being done every day. But keep in mind for every consistent winner, there are likely tens of thousands of players who lose with a system that has no chance of winning in the long term. It makes sense that if you are trying to beat roulette, you should start with what has historically already shown to work. This doesn't mean your current approach, whatever it may be, will not also be successful if developed further. Also keep in mind many people have even committed suicide because they couldn't beat this game. But you can be sure such people were looking at the wrong approaches. Blindly trying to do the impossible will drive anyone insane. Trying to do the possible, with proper and logical approaches, makes more sense.
If you spend years using the same approaches used by millions of players, you are going to lose. But if you don't want to look at the physics of the roulette wheel, then at least try something that nobody has tried before. If you are not trying to be a pioneer and just want a roulette strategy that works, then the application of physics-based roulette systems (advantage play) may be what you're looking for.
But a word of warning: don't expect to beat all wheels in all conditions. None of the methods that have worked previous or today have ever been effective on every wheel. In all known cases, the players had to search for suitable wheels and conditions. The prevalence of suitable wheels mostly depends on the method you use – you will find that specific approaches may work on perhaps only 5% of wheels. Whereas other approaches may be successful on far more wheels (30-50%).
Other than using roulette computers, the overall best methods I have developed to beat roulette will beat approximately 35% of modern wheels in real casino conditions. But this doesn't mean you will obliterate the casino with 35% of their wheels. It means of the 35% of wheels, you will overcome the normal edge against you which is -2.7%. In typical conditions, the edge you will achieve is between +5 to +15%. So on average, around a +10% edge. This may not seem like much, but consider a -2.7% edge is all a casino needs to often make hundreds of thousands from a single wheel in one night. An edge of over 50% is not uncommon with roulette computers. But despite their larger edge, professional players have serious disadvantages such as the casino being able to simply ban players for any reason. So you can't just win millions overnight. Well you can, but expect to be noticed. If you have a more modest bankroll, you need to win much more discrete amounts. How much is ok to win? It depends on the table. But say if the minimum inside bet is just $5, then the most you should take from the table is $500 or so. Or if the minimum is $50, then generally winning $5,000 in one session is ok (provided you don't repeat it too often and in the presence of the same casino staff). This is just a rough guide though, and there are many variables that determine what is 'covert' to win.
Winning and avoiding detection is one thing. But the biggest roadblock for professional players is time. More specifically, most people don't have the will or patience to spend in casinos for many hours. It can quickly become very boring and tiring. The boredom can lead to costly mistakes.
I once spoke to the director of one of the largest and best-known roulette wheel manufacturers. He and his colleague spoke candidly about the viability of beating their wheels. They stated something to the effect that 'Yes we know wheels can be 'clocked' (their word for ‘beaten'). We know all about it'. They spoke rather defensively as if I was attempting to somehow expose them. I was actually just looking to purchase a new roulette wheel, which they refused because they were aware of who I was, and my intentions to study it. On another occasion I spoke to their chief wheel designer, who is also well aware just about any wheel can be beaten in the right conditions. The manufacturer websites neglect to explain to their clients (casinos) how easily beaten many modern roulette wheels are, but the wheel manufacturers at least do have knowledge. Again although wheels are getting more difficult to beat, to create a wheel that produces truly random and unpredictable spins would be extremely difficult and costly, and perhaps not viable considering it is not difficult for casinos to identify a player who is consistently winning hundreds of thousands, which is what it would take to significantly impact the income of most casinos.
How Much Time Do Professional Methods Take To Use?
Roulette computers are by far the quickest, but you still may need to dedicate 4hrs or more just getting enough data for one wheel. Some players may consider this far too time consuming and absurd. A roulette computer user would consider the notion of 8 hours work from 9am-5pm for day after day for around $150/day, then paying 35% tax, to be closer to insanity.
But excluding roulette computers, a good professional method to win roulette consistently (that can earn a living) may take around 20 hrs per week. This again may seem absurd to some people, but consider this is around half the time as a normal job, but it can pay much better if done right.
If you are considering becoming a professional roulette player, understand that while it is not uncommon for players to win hundreds of thousands or even millions, this level of income (with modest bet size) requires time and dedication, just like any other job. But the average player doesn't play full-time. The average player keeps their normal job, and plays roulette part-time or whenever the need arises for an income boost. In any event, if you expect to consistently win money from roulette, you will need to use an approach much more sophisticated than 'doubling bets' after losses.
If you don't like the idea of using physics to win roulette, perhaps read http://www.roulettephysics.com/why-it-works/ which explains why most methods fail, and why physics may be the only approach that works. Whatever systems you are using, CONSIDER THE WORKING PRINCIPLE you are attempting to apply, and test it thoroughly.

A roulette strategy has one aim and one aim only: to win. Most roulette strategies are based around telling players how they should bet and when to bet it. The game of roulette has more potential strategies than any other casino game.
However, most roulette players lose because the strategies they use are tailored towards promotions, rather than actual tips that can help them win.
This article will explain which roulette strategies work and show why others do not.
But first, it's important to understand the basics of roulette strategy. A lot of roulette players believe in absolute nonsense.
Here are 10 common misconceptions about the roulette strategy.
1. Previous Spins Do Not Affect Future Spins
No matter how many times you spin the wheel, the chances that the ball landing on one number/color/etc remain the same every time. You can see this for yourself. Load up an online roulette wheel and play some spins for free. Record the results of red and black and try and spot some streaks. If you find one, check how many times that color spins next. After enough spins, you will find that the odds will not have changed at all. Previous spins do not affect future spins.
2. Progression Bets Do Not Help You Win In Roulette
Changing your bet size after each bet is called 'progression'. Increasing your bet size is known as 'positive progression'. Likewise, decreasing your bet size is known as 'negative progression'.
No matter if it's positive or negative, changing your bet size has no impact on your chances of winning.
Many roulette players wait for some sort of ‘trigger' before implementing a betting progression strategy. One example could be waiting for black to win 3 times in a row. From here, the player would double the bet until they win.
This will not help the player win. Each spin is independent of the next and the odds have not changed since the last spin.
The only thing that is changing is the amount of money wagered. Sure, the player could be lucky and win big, but it's just as likely they can be unlucky and lose big too.
3. Roulette Triggers Don't Exist
Waiting for a certain event to happen does not impact your chances of winning in roulette. The only ‘trigger' that can help you is if it is related to the physical wheel itself, rather than the sequence of numbers.
For example, if you decide to bet the number 3 after noticing that over 10,000 spins it wins at a higher percentage, then this is called bias analysis. This would make sense since there must be something about the wheel that causes the number 3 to win more often than other numbers.
On the other hand, waiting for the sequence red, black, black, black and then betting big on red does not affect your chances of winning.
Another trigger players like to use is skipping spins. Again, this does not win in the long-term.
Imagine that over the course of 500 spins, you only bet on 50 ie 10% and you manage to make a profit. This does not mean your ‘trigger' means anything. All that's really happened is that you won over the course of 50 spins.
4. Bankroll Management Does Not Help In Roulette
Bankroll management has two effects on roulette strategy: you either lose your money quicker (ie positive progression) or slower (ie negative progression).
All bankroll management does is control how much you should bet on each spin. Again, it comes down to the fact that bet sizing has no impact on your chances of winning.
5. Long Term Balance Does Not Exist In Roulette
After 5,000 spins of the wheel, the results of red or black will be close to even. Therefore, it seems reasonable to think that over the long term, you could check what color has spun the most and bet on the other one, right?
Not really. If there are more of one color than the other, then this is more because of a defect in the wheel. Therefore, if your roulette strategy was to bet on red because it had fewer wins than black, it would actually be a lot better to bet on black as the wheel is favored towards it.
6. Only Bet Short-Term Roulette Strategies
Lots of roulette strategies aim to make a 1-unit profit per session. Unless your units are in hundreds or thousands, it's not enough to make a real difference anyway
But for the sake of argument, let's assume that winning 1 unit a session is the be-all and end-all for winning roulette.
Now think of it like this: if it guarantees to win 1 unit a session, wouldn't you want to use it all the time? After all, if it's that good, why limit yourself to just 1 unit?
The answer is that short-term strategies do not work for roulette. They can either win over the long-term or they don't. Either way, the house always has the edge.
7. Roulette Streaks Make No Difference To Your Chances Of Winning
Sometimes in roulette, the ball will land on the same number twice, three times or more in a row. This isn't some freaky wizardry, it's simple statistics.
On an American roulette wheel, the odds of spinning the same number three times in a row can be calculated by:
(1 in 38) x (1 in 38) x (1 in 38) = 1 in 54,872
But what about the odds of spinning the same number twice in a row, say 5, but then landing on a different number, say 7?
Since every spin is independent of the previous, spin, the chances are exactly the same as above: 1 in 54,872.
So it makes no logical sense to think that if one number is on a winning streak, it's in your favor to bet it again.
This also applies to other roulette bets, including red or black, first, second, or third dozen, etc.
8. You Can't Use Progression To Win Before A 'Rare Event' Happens'
Once again, this comes down to the fact the odds do not change. Rare events do not exist in roulette. The only reason players think they do is because they have not seen enough spins for it to have happened yet.
For example, the player may not have seen this sequence of winning numbers before: 1,4,6,2,5. But they may also have never seen this sequence of winning numbers before either: 12, 25, 14, 9, 0.
After enough spins, both of these sequences will happen at some point. With a large enough sample size, you will see that they will also occur the same number of times too.
Each sequence of winning numbers in roulette is just as rare as each other.
9. Just Because A Roulette Strategy Wins Doesn't Guarantee It Works
Roulette betting strategies either win in the long term or they don't, it's as simple as that. For example, if you decide to use a negative progression strategy after losing a few bets, the end result remains a loss.
On the other hand, you could wait for 'triggers' before using an aggressive betting strategy and win big. Of course, you will not be making as many bets as the progression strategy, meaning you can make your bankroll last for, potentially, thousands of spins.
Now, just because you may have won big does not mean that the system you used was a good one. If you analyze this in more detail, you will likely see multiple large spikes in your bankroll.
To see how ‘good' this system really is, find a reliable roulette system tester and create another one with completely random bets. Over 10,000, 20,000 or even 50,000 spins, you may find that betting randomly can be profitable.
Does this mean that the random selection process is a winning strategy that works? Of course not.
You will have just been lucky.
It's easy to think that you have a winning strategy when all that happened was that you got lucky from time to time. This happens to a lot of players.
Luck can even make losing strategies profitable. Those using it may stop playing roulette and end with a profit, making them believe the strategy was effective.
Over time though, if they continue playing, reality will catch up and the system will lose.
10. Winning Most Of The Time In Roulette Is Enough
Imagine you had a roulette strategy that won 75% of the time. Over the course of 4 days, you profit on 3 and lose on 1. Your results may be something like:
Day 1: +10 units
Day 2: +20 units
Day 3: +50 units
Day 4: -100 units
Everything was going so well until something happened that you didn't expect and you lost big. How did this happen? You just got unlucky, right?
Except that you didn't. Casinos don't leave it up to chance to make money. In the end, the house wins because of its long-term edge over players.
Winning Systems: The Casino's Illusion
Casinos profit because they know the majority of players can't tell the difference between a winning roulette strategy and a losing one. Here's an example that shows how this can happen.
Imagine 100 players all played roulette and used exactly the same strategy as each other, but none of them knew each other or the systems each of them were using.
After using the strategy over the course of 1 month, these were the results:
40 of the players won a total of $400,000. Since they all won, they are sure that their strategy wins. Since they believe they have a winning strategy, they will return to the casino hoping to win more money.
The remaining 60 players lost a total of $500,000. Since they all lost, they are sure their system loses. Since they believe they have a losing strategy, they will look to improve it before returning to the casino again with a new system.
But none of this matters.
At the end of the day, the casino is the real winner.
Firstly, they have made a $100,000 profit from this group of 100 players. Golf and casino resorts in michigan.
They also have the winning players coming back, even though it's not a long-term profitable strategy, as shown by the 60 losing players.
Sure, they may have initially paid out $400,000, but to the casino, it's like an investment. They pay out with the expectation the players return and bet the same strategy – only this time, the players will lose.
Casinos don't care about winners or losers; they just need more people to lose than to win.
How To Win At Roulette
So now that the important things have been covered, it's time to learn how to win at roulette.
On a typical American roulette wheel, your chances of picking the right number are 1 in 38.
The only way is to improve your own chances of winnings. If you don't, the odds remain in favor of the casino.
How do you do this?
By studying the thing that actually determines the result of a spin: the wheel and the ball.
But this isn't brand new information to casinos. They know better than anyone how players can use the roulette wheel to give them a real advantage.
Losing Roulette Strategies
So by now, you should understand why a lot of strategies lose. They use a ‘trigger' that doesn't exist, they implement some form of bet progression or they focus on the numbers rather than the roulette wheel and ball.
The following section will show you some of the best-known roulette strategies. However, they all lose in the long-term. From everything discussed so far, you will see why they lose now too.
The Martingale Strategy
Martingale is a betting progression strategy. If you lose a bet, you must double it for the next one.
This is not a good strategy for multiple reasons:
- If you go on a bad run using martingale, you can lose your bankroll quickly.
- After lots of doubles, you will reach the maximum bet amount. Even if it wins, you may not be able to recoup your losses.
- The odds do not change when you double the size of your bet. All that's happening is changing your bet on a different spin.
Tier et Tout Strategy
This is another betting progression strategy but with bankroll management included too.
Like the martingale, no matter how many times you increase or decrease the size of your bet, the chances of winning never change. The only thing you are doing is making different bets of different sizes.
You are just as likely to win (or lose) making a random bet of a random size.
John Solitude Raindrop Strategy
This roulette strategy uses the balance misconception. It expects to win ‘in the end' but this does not work because it won't allow you to choose bets in a way that actually improves your chances of winning.
These are just a selection of losing strategies by there are countless others out there, each claiming to be the next thing since sliced bread. But they all share the same misconceptions of roulette strategy.
You may also find strategies that may sound different at first but they are actually exactly the same as other losing systems.
You must be aware of this before learning which strategies you should actually be using.
Winning Roulette Strategies
Many roulette players use strategies that do not work. Unfortunately, many people are losing because they have been convinced that it is a winning roulette strategy.
Everything that this article has covered so far should help you identify a losing system, should you come across one. Hopefully, you will never need to waste another penny again.
Now for the good news.
Here are the best winning roulette strategies.
Roulette Computers
Can You Really Win at Roulette, or Are You Wasting Time?
The short answer is yes you can win, but you can't beat all types of roulette and in all casinos. But before I continue, I'll explain what should be obvious to anyone.
The Internet is full of self-professed experts who think they know about everything, including winning at roulette. You can find such people on forums, websites like Yahoo answers or just random comment threads. Next to none of these people have any experience with legitimate methods that beat roulette, so it should be no surprise they aren't going to know what they're talking about. They get their 'expert knowledge' from other 'experts' who similarly have no real experience, other than reading what some other 'expert' said. You get the picture. It's the same case with virtually any topic on the Internet; a bunch of people who really know nothing.
You can't beat roulette with gambling systems, but you can through dealer signatures, wheel bias and gadgets. Out of these, dealer signatures is the best route to go because it's both legal and still relevant. Assuming you can spot a dealer signature and win consistently using the system I covered above, then you could win over $100 per hour. Roulette is a drain on your wallet simply because the game doesn't pay what the bets are worth. With 38 numbers (1 to 36, plus 0 and 00), the true odds of hitting a single number on a straight-up bet are 37 to 1, but the house pays only 35 to 1 if you win! Ditto the payouts on the combination bets. But you can use this system on any bet available at the roulette table. The reason why most players use the even money bets is because they offer the best odds to win. On a single zero roulette wheel you win 18 out of every 37 spins on average on an even money bet, which means you win 48.65% of the time.
Who Can Reliably Answer The Question: Can Roulette Be Beaten?
When I say 'beaten', I mean real winnings over extended periods of time. I don't mean lucky wins or short-term play.
Probably the most obvious people to ask about winning roulette would be casino staff. After all, they spend a lot of time around roulette wheels. However, their job is not to study the wheel and ways to beat it. When it comes to someone like a dealer, they'll mostly just spin the wheel. If you have your own wheel at home, the chances are you'll have spun the wheel more times than a typical dealer. Having experience with a wheel certainly helps to understand the physics involved, but it is more keen observation that can uncover clues relating to the predictability of spins. I'll explain more about this later.
If roulette was being 'consistently' beaten, you'd expect that casino staff would at least have come across consistently winning players. In the past 15 or so years, I've come to meet and know many casino employees including dealers, pit bosses and even casino owners. Of course different individuals have different knowledge, but the general attitude towards the concept of beating roulette is as follows:
Dealers: Most dealers believe roulette can be beaten, but only under strict and rare conditions. For example, they may consider 'wheel bias'. This is essentially when there is a physical defect of the wheel that makes certain numbers win more than others.
Sometimes, dealers have heard of other methods like electronic devices (roulette computers), but they only have a very vague understanding of the conditions under which such technology is effective. Sometimes a casino consultant has been hired by their casino, and provided a training course to help them spot professional roulette players. But rather than it be a proper course, it is more of a crash course explaining the very basics.
Overall, most dealers only have a very vague understanding of legitimate methods to beat roulette. Generally they know it's possible, but don't expect they'll ever encounter a professional player. What they usually see is a constant stream of losing players at their table.
Pit bosses: these are the serious-looking people that usually oversee a group of 2-4 roulette wheels at a time. They do everything from handle any disputes, communicate with surveillance about whatever, and generally make sure all the dealers are doing their job and that everything runs smoothly.
When it comes to understanding roulette prediction, they rarely have significantly better knowledge than the dealers. Again they know roulette can be beaten under the right circumstances, but they also know for every 1,000 players you see, you'd be lucky for even one of them to have a method that is a threat to the casino's money.
Casino owners: Many owners have very little knowledge about their own games. They tend to view the casino as a revenue source and investment at a very different level. After all, it's not their job to be on the gaming floor – their job is more confined to a board room. But for smaller casinos where the boss takes a more 'hands-on' approach, the owner again has not much more knowledge than a common dealer. More importantly, they will at least be aware of the risk of professional players. They call them 'advantage players'. They know they exist. They know very well even individual professional players have taken casinos for many millions. But their perspective is at a much higher level, and professional players are seen more as an accepted hazard, not without measures to deal with them. Kind of like an annoying bee that can do harm, but aren't difficult to squish once you know about them.
It's also much like a retail store that may make $1M in sales each year, but $10,000 is lost each year due to theft. In other words, the retail store knows it's almost impossible to stop 100% of theft. Technically they could stop 100%, but it would mean taking measures that would make honest customers feel uncomfortable, and this alone may lose more revenue than they save. So all the retail store can do is follow the best procedures to limit the losses from thieves. This is how a casino boss often view 'advantage players'.
Evidence That Roulette Can Be Beaten
You'd think that if someone could beat roulette, that it would make headlines and they'd win the Nobel Prize. Actually the truth is winning at roulette isn't rocket science – it's more about using the right approach for the right wheel and conditions as I'll explain later. Anyway I'll refer to four particular high profile cases of roulette players winning fortunes:
Joseph Jagger: You may have heard the song 'The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo'. This was the first record of anyone exploiting roulette wheel bias. In today's money, he earned millions. The casino staff couldn't figure out how he was winning. Eventually, they changed the wheels (or rather a part of the wheel relating to the defect) and he didn't notice. This inevitably changed the patterns he was following, and he lost much of his winnings. He still walked away with a fortune. Philadelphia mississippi casino golf course.
Pelayo family: This is a family of Spanish players who also exploited roulette wheel bias. Despite the history and what happened with Joseph Jagger, the casino staff still had no idea how the Pelayo family was winning. They could not lawfully ban them, so they started changing the conditions at the wheel. For example, they tried speeding up the wheel spins. But this actually helps wheel bias players because the parts that cause the bias are more likely to influence ball behaviour, resulting in a statical anomaly (the bias). Eventually the Pelayo family were illegally and physically removed from the casinos they were winning at, so they were forced to play elsewhere. But they had become so well known that it was near impossible for them to continue winning discretely. They began with a bankroll of about $2000, and profited around $1,000,000. See the video below:
Laszlo Kovacs: This happened a few years ago in Star City casino in Australia. He used an electronic device (roulette computer) to calculate the speed of the wheel and ball and predict where the ball is most likely to land. He won about $200,000 before the casino staff noticed he was winning a little too often. But according to casino staff, what initially gave him away was the tapping of his foot, not his winnings. He was tapping his foot because a hidden button in his shoe was pressed when the ball and green zero completed revolutions (to measure speeds). Laszlo was charged with casino cheating under Australian law, but was deported without being convicted, and was allowed to keep his winnings.
Ritz team: This happened a few years ago too. A team of 3 professional players win over US$2M in 3 days. Nobody but the players themselves know what technology they used, although they were caught with various mobile phones and electronic devices. Based on reports from casino staff who reviewed the footage of them winning, their behaviour and bets were consistent with roulette computer application. These are the devices also used by Laszlo Kovacs. The team was allowed to keep their winnings because they had not broken any law. These devices continue to he LEGAL in the UK and many other parts of the world. But legal or not, casinos will of course do what they must to stop you winning. So you need to use them very discretely. See the TV documentary about the team below:
There have actually been many other cases in the news. And certainly far more cases do not make the headlines. To summarize, basically there is enough evidence to support that even the casinos know roulette can be beaten. But mostly the casino staff don't understand it. However, they do they 'need' to understand it – they only need to monitor for consistently winning players, then take whatever action is appropriate to stop casino losses.
What Does and Doesn't Work?
It's important to note that with all the known methods that have worked and even made headlines, the physics of the roulette wheel was involved. As far as I'm aware, there has never been a case where a player has won millions over sustained and long-term periods of play without using physics. Certainly players have won millions with sheer luck. But I'm referring to methods that have repeatable success.
The common factors of the effective methods:
- Real roulette wheels only
- Roulette wheel physics
- Inside bets based on sectors of the wheel
I'm not aware of any legitimately effective method that beats roulette, without all of the above factors.
How Can You Win At Roulette Today?
Roulette is not much different from how it was 6-8 years ago. But it's quite different to how it was 50+ years ago. Naturally, as casinos learn about how roulette is beaten, they will do what is reasonable to limit losses from professional players. Again they presently can't do this fully without losing revenue. For example, to prevent roulette computer users from measuring the ball speed and betting late, the dealer can call no more bets earlier. This will stop a roulette computer player from winning. But it will also stop the average losing player from placing late bets that lose. For every 1 roulette computer player, there may be 50,000 normal players. So it is not viable for casinos to fully forbid late bets.
To limit losses to professional roulette players (advantage players), casinos rely on:
- Detecting consistent winners, then applying countermeasures (like forbidding late bets) until the consistent winner either loses or leaves. Then the casino can resume normal procedures.
- Using roulette wheels and technology that makes roulette spins less predictable.
There are far more undetected professional players than those who are detected. So for professional players, avoiding detection is mostly a matter of not being greedy and winning more modest amounts.
As for modern roulette wheel technology: there's no doubt that wheels are getting harder to beat. But it is actually much harder to design a wheel with completely unpredictable spins than it is to develop a method which at least slightly increases the accuracy of the player's winning number predictions. And to overcome the casino's typical small edge of -2.7% is not at all difficult – it only requires the roulette player to only have slightly better than random accuracy when predicting the winning number. In suitable conditions, this is not at all difficult to achieve. This is the key to winning at roulette.

Having Realistic Expectations
If you do proper research, you'll understand that it is not only possible to win at roulette, it is being done every day. But keep in mind for every consistent winner, there are likely tens of thousands of players who lose with a system that has no chance of winning in the long term. It makes sense that if you are trying to beat roulette, you should start with what has historically already shown to work. This doesn't mean your current approach, whatever it may be, will not also be successful if developed further. Also keep in mind many people have even committed suicide because they couldn't beat this game. But you can be sure such people were looking at the wrong approaches. Blindly trying to do the impossible will drive anyone insane. Trying to do the possible, with proper and logical approaches, makes more sense.
If you spend years using the same approaches used by millions of players, you are going to lose. But if you don't want to look at the physics of the roulette wheel, then at least try something that nobody has tried before. If you are not trying to be a pioneer and just want a roulette strategy that works, then the application of physics-based roulette systems (advantage play) may be what you're looking for.
But a word of warning: don't expect to beat all wheels in all conditions. None of the methods that have worked previous or today have ever been effective on every wheel. In all known cases, the players had to search for suitable wheels and conditions. The prevalence of suitable wheels mostly depends on the method you use – you will find that specific approaches may work on perhaps only 5% of wheels. Whereas other approaches may be successful on far more wheels (30-50%).
Other than using roulette computers, the overall best methods I have developed to beat roulette will beat approximately 35% of modern wheels in real casino conditions. But this doesn't mean you will obliterate the casino with 35% of their wheels. It means of the 35% of wheels, you will overcome the normal edge against you which is -2.7%. In typical conditions, the edge you will achieve is between +5 to +15%. So on average, around a +10% edge. This may not seem like much, but consider a -2.7% edge is all a casino needs to often make hundreds of thousands from a single wheel in one night. An edge of over 50% is not uncommon with roulette computers. But despite their larger edge, professional players have serious disadvantages such as the casino being able to simply ban players for any reason. So you can't just win millions overnight. Well you can, but expect to be noticed. If you have a more modest bankroll, you need to win much more discrete amounts. How much is ok to win? It depends on the table. But say if the minimum inside bet is just $5, then the most you should take from the table is $500 or so. Or if the minimum is $50, then generally winning $5,000 in one session is ok (provided you don't repeat it too often and in the presence of the same casino staff). This is just a rough guide though, and there are many variables that determine what is 'covert' to win.
Winning and avoiding detection is one thing. But the biggest roadblock for professional players is time. More specifically, most people don't have the will or patience to spend in casinos for many hours. It can quickly become very boring and tiring. The boredom can lead to costly mistakes.
I once spoke to the director of one of the largest and best-known roulette wheel manufacturers. He and his colleague spoke candidly about the viability of beating their wheels. They stated something to the effect that 'Yes we know wheels can be 'clocked' (their word for ‘beaten'). We know all about it'. They spoke rather defensively as if I was attempting to somehow expose them. I was actually just looking to purchase a new roulette wheel, which they refused because they were aware of who I was, and my intentions to study it. On another occasion I spoke to their chief wheel designer, who is also well aware just about any wheel can be beaten in the right conditions. The manufacturer websites neglect to explain to their clients (casinos) how easily beaten many modern roulette wheels are, but the wheel manufacturers at least do have knowledge. Again although wheels are getting more difficult to beat, to create a wheel that produces truly random and unpredictable spins would be extremely difficult and costly, and perhaps not viable considering it is not difficult for casinos to identify a player who is consistently winning hundreds of thousands, which is what it would take to significantly impact the income of most casinos.
How Much Time Do Professional Methods Take To Use?
Roulette computers are by far the quickest, but you still may need to dedicate 4hrs or more just getting enough data for one wheel. Some players may consider this far too time consuming and absurd. A roulette computer user would consider the notion of 8 hours work from 9am-5pm for day after day for around $150/day, then paying 35% tax, to be closer to insanity.
But excluding roulette computers, a good professional method to win roulette consistently (that can earn a living) may take around 20 hrs per week. This again may seem absurd to some people, but consider this is around half the time as a normal job, but it can pay much better if done right.
If you are considering becoming a professional roulette player, understand that while it is not uncommon for players to win hundreds of thousands or even millions, this level of income (with modest bet size) requires time and dedication, just like any other job. But the average player doesn't play full-time. The average player keeps their normal job, and plays roulette part-time or whenever the need arises for an income boost. In any event, if you expect to consistently win money from roulette, you will need to use an approach much more sophisticated than 'doubling bets' after losses.

A roulette strategy has one aim and one aim only: to win. Most roulette strategies are based around telling players how they should bet and when to bet it. The game of roulette has more potential strategies than any other casino game.
However, most roulette players lose because the strategies they use are tailored towards promotions, rather than actual tips that can help them win.
This article will explain which roulette strategies work and show why others do not.
But first, it's important to understand the basics of roulette strategy. A lot of roulette players believe in absolute nonsense.
Here are 10 common misconceptions about the roulette strategy.
1. Previous Spins Do Not Affect Future Spins
No matter how many times you spin the wheel, the chances that the ball landing on one number/color/etc remain the same every time. You can see this for yourself. Load up an online roulette wheel and play some spins for free. Record the results of red and black and try and spot some streaks. If you find one, check how many times that color spins next. After enough spins, you will find that the odds will not have changed at all. Previous spins do not affect future spins.
2. Progression Bets Do Not Help You Win In Roulette
Changing your bet size after each bet is called 'progression'. Increasing your bet size is known as 'positive progression'. Likewise, decreasing your bet size is known as 'negative progression'.
No matter if it's positive or negative, changing your bet size has no impact on your chances of winning.
Many roulette players wait for some sort of ‘trigger' before implementing a betting progression strategy. One example could be waiting for black to win 3 times in a row. From here, the player would double the bet until they win.
This will not help the player win. Each spin is independent of the next and the odds have not changed since the last spin.
The only thing that is changing is the amount of money wagered. Sure, the player could be lucky and win big, but it's just as likely they can be unlucky and lose big too.
3. Roulette Triggers Don't Exist
Waiting for a certain event to happen does not impact your chances of winning in roulette. The only ‘trigger' that can help you is if it is related to the physical wheel itself, rather than the sequence of numbers.
For example, if you decide to bet the number 3 after noticing that over 10,000 spins it wins at a higher percentage, then this is called bias analysis. This would make sense since there must be something about the wheel that causes the number 3 to win more often than other numbers.
On the other hand, waiting for the sequence red, black, black, black and then betting big on red does not affect your chances of winning.
Another trigger players like to use is skipping spins. Again, this does not win in the long-term.
Imagine that over the course of 500 spins, you only bet on 50 ie 10% and you manage to make a profit. This does not mean your ‘trigger' means anything. All that's really happened is that you won over the course of 50 spins.
4. Bankroll Management Does Not Help In Roulette
Bankroll management has two effects on roulette strategy: you either lose your money quicker (ie positive progression) or slower (ie negative progression).
All bankroll management does is control how much you should bet on each spin. Again, it comes down to the fact that bet sizing has no impact on your chances of winning.
5. Long Term Balance Does Not Exist In Roulette
After 5,000 spins of the wheel, the results of red or black will be close to even. Therefore, it seems reasonable to think that over the long term, you could check what color has spun the most and bet on the other one, right?
Not really. If there are more of one color than the other, then this is more because of a defect in the wheel. Therefore, if your roulette strategy was to bet on red because it had fewer wins than black, it would actually be a lot better to bet on black as the wheel is favored towards it.
6. Only Bet Short-Term Roulette Strategies
Lots of roulette strategies aim to make a 1-unit profit per session. Unless your units are in hundreds or thousands, it's not enough to make a real difference anyway
But for the sake of argument, let's assume that winning 1 unit a session is the be-all and end-all for winning roulette.
Now think of it like this: if it guarantees to win 1 unit a session, wouldn't you want to use it all the time? After all, if it's that good, why limit yourself to just 1 unit?
The answer is that short-term strategies do not work for roulette. They can either win over the long-term or they don't. Either way, the house always has the edge.
7. Roulette Streaks Make No Difference To Your Chances Of Winning
Sometimes in roulette, the ball will land on the same number twice, three times or more in a row. This isn't some freaky wizardry, it's simple statistics.
On an American roulette wheel, the odds of spinning the same number three times in a row can be calculated by:
(1 in 38) x (1 in 38) x (1 in 38) = 1 in 54,872
But what about the odds of spinning the same number twice in a row, say 5, but then landing on a different number, say 7?
Since every spin is independent of the previous, spin, the chances are exactly the same as above: 1 in 54,872.
So it makes no logical sense to think that if one number is on a winning streak, it's in your favor to bet it again.
This also applies to other roulette bets, including red or black, first, second, or third dozen, etc.
8. You Can't Use Progression To Win Before A 'Rare Event' Happens'
Once again, this comes down to the fact the odds do not change. Rare events do not exist in roulette. The only reason players think they do is because they have not seen enough spins for it to have happened yet.
For example, the player may not have seen this sequence of winning numbers before: 1,4,6,2,5. But they may also have never seen this sequence of winning numbers before either: 12, 25, 14, 9, 0.
After enough spins, both of these sequences will happen at some point. With a large enough sample size, you will see that they will also occur the same number of times too.
Each sequence of winning numbers in roulette is just as rare as each other.
9. Just Because A Roulette Strategy Wins Doesn't Guarantee It Works
Roulette betting strategies either win in the long term or they don't, it's as simple as that. For example, if you decide to use a negative progression strategy after losing a few bets, the end result remains a loss.
On the other hand, you could wait for 'triggers' before using an aggressive betting strategy and win big. Of course, you will not be making as many bets as the progression strategy, meaning you can make your bankroll last for, potentially, thousands of spins.
Now, just because you may have won big does not mean that the system you used was a good one. If you analyze this in more detail, you will likely see multiple large spikes in your bankroll.
To see how ‘good' this system really is, find a reliable roulette system tester and create another one with completely random bets. Over 10,000, 20,000 or even 50,000 spins, you may find that betting randomly can be profitable.
Does this mean that the random selection process is a winning strategy that works? Of course not.
You will have just been lucky.
It's easy to think that you have a winning strategy when all that happened was that you got lucky from time to time. This happens to a lot of players.
Luck can even make losing strategies profitable. Those using it may stop playing roulette and end with a profit, making them believe the strategy was effective.
Over time though, if they continue playing, reality will catch up and the system will lose.
10. Winning Most Of The Time In Roulette Is Enough
Imagine you had a roulette strategy that won 75% of the time. Over the course of 4 days, you profit on 3 and lose on 1. Your results may be something like:
Day 1: +10 units
Day 2: +20 units
Day 3: +50 units
Day 4: -100 units
Everything was going so well until something happened that you didn't expect and you lost big. How did this happen? You just got unlucky, right?
Except that you didn't. Casinos don't leave it up to chance to make money. In the end, the house wins because of its long-term edge over players.
Winning Systems: The Casino's Illusion
Casinos profit because they know the majority of players can't tell the difference between a winning roulette strategy and a losing one. Here's an example that shows how this can happen.
Imagine 100 players all played roulette and used exactly the same strategy as each other, but none of them knew each other or the systems each of them were using.
After using the strategy over the course of 1 month, these were the results:
40 of the players won a total of $400,000. Since they all won, they are sure that their strategy wins. Since they believe they have a winning strategy, they will return to the casino hoping to win more money.
The remaining 60 players lost a total of $500,000. Since they all lost, they are sure their system loses. Since they believe they have a losing strategy, they will look to improve it before returning to the casino again with a new system.
But none of this matters.
At the end of the day, the casino is the real winner.
Firstly, they have made a $100,000 profit from this group of 100 players. Golf and casino resorts in michigan.
They also have the winning players coming back, even though it's not a long-term profitable strategy, as shown by the 60 losing players.
Sure, they may have initially paid out $400,000, but to the casino, it's like an investment. They pay out with the expectation the players return and bet the same strategy – only this time, the players will lose.
Casinos don't care about winners or losers; they just need more people to lose than to win.
How To Win At Roulette
So now that the important things have been covered, it's time to learn how to win at roulette.
On a typical American roulette wheel, your chances of picking the right number are 1 in 38.
The only way is to improve your own chances of winnings. If you don't, the odds remain in favor of the casino.
How do you do this?
By studying the thing that actually determines the result of a spin: the wheel and the ball.
But this isn't brand new information to casinos. They know better than anyone how players can use the roulette wheel to give them a real advantage.
Losing Roulette Strategies
So by now, you should understand why a lot of strategies lose. They use a ‘trigger' that doesn't exist, they implement some form of bet progression or they focus on the numbers rather than the roulette wheel and ball.
The following section will show you some of the best-known roulette strategies. However, they all lose in the long-term. From everything discussed so far, you will see why they lose now too.
The Martingale Strategy
Martingale is a betting progression strategy. If you lose a bet, you must double it for the next one.
This is not a good strategy for multiple reasons:
- If you go on a bad run using martingale, you can lose your bankroll quickly.
- After lots of doubles, you will reach the maximum bet amount. Even if it wins, you may not be able to recoup your losses.
- The odds do not change when you double the size of your bet. All that's happening is changing your bet on a different spin.
Tier et Tout Strategy
This is another betting progression strategy but with bankroll management included too.
Like the martingale, no matter how many times you increase or decrease the size of your bet, the chances of winning never change. The only thing you are doing is making different bets of different sizes.
You are just as likely to win (or lose) making a random bet of a random size.
John Solitude Raindrop Strategy
This roulette strategy uses the balance misconception. It expects to win ‘in the end' but this does not work because it won't allow you to choose bets in a way that actually improves your chances of winning.
These are just a selection of losing strategies by there are countless others out there, each claiming to be the next thing since sliced bread. But they all share the same misconceptions of roulette strategy.
You may also find strategies that may sound different at first but they are actually exactly the same as other losing systems.
You must be aware of this before learning which strategies you should actually be using.
Winning Roulette Strategies
Many roulette players use strategies that do not work. Unfortunately, many people are losing because they have been convinced that it is a winning roulette strategy.
Everything that this article has covered so far should help you identify a losing system, should you come across one. Hopefully, you will never need to waste another penny again.
Now for the good news.
Here are the best winning roulette strategies.
Roulette Computers
These are small electronic devices that can measure the speed of the wheel and the ball as it travels. This predicts where the ball will land.
This is the most effective way to beat roulette.

How Do You Win At Roulette
Visual Ballistics
This involves looking at the wheel with your own eyes to predict where the ball lands. With practice, it becomes a lot easier than you may think (but a lot tougher compared to other effective winning roulette strategies.)
Dealer's Signature
A lot of roulette dealers spin the wheel and ball consistently, leading to predictable patterns. This is known as the ‘dealer's signature' and is the reason why they are changed every 30 minutes or so.
It works on the following principles:
- The ball hits some diamonds more often than others ie dominant diamonds.
- The ball bounce is not totally unpredictable.
When the wheel spins at, near enough, the same speed, the ball will travel a predictable distance and drop into a predictable area of the wheel.

Keep in mind that this strategy doesn't work on every wheel though. You need to find the right wheel and the right dealer to get the most from this strategy.
Bias Analysis
Every single roulette wheel has some sort of defect. Even if it's a tiny defect, it can affect how the ball lands.
This is known as bias.
Can You Win At Roulette
If you can spot the defect and learn how it affects the results, you can profit from roulette.
Of course, this strategy relies on you spotting the defect before the casino does and removes it from play.
