Roulette Secrets - How to Win at Online Roulette

[Alicia Mitchell]

There are no real roulette secrets, there are certainly no guaranteed
ways to win at online roulette. However there are many people who
pretend they know these secrets and will share them with you. Strange
really, call me selfish if you like but if I had a secret to win at
online roulette, I'd keep it a secret and well I'd keep winning.
I play a lot of roulette and have for many years, I don't profess to
being an expert but I know quite a bit about it. I know for instance
that the many gambling systems don't work here's some background to
them.
Gamblers Fallacy
Nearly all the plausible looking gambling systems are usually based on
the gamblers or monte carlo fallacy. The gamblers fallacy is the
incorrect belief that previous events have some bearing on the next
event. Using some dodgy mathematics they'll somehow change the odds of
a red or black coming up on the wheel. The easiest way to illustrate
the gamblers fallacy which incidentally has been losing gamblers money
for centuries is this -
If red came up 6 times in a row on the spin of a roulette wheel. What
is the most likely next colour to be spun, do the odds favour red or
black ? The gamblers fallacy is used to build systems based on the
assumption that black is more likely to come up. It sounds plausible,
I mean after 6 reds surely black will come up next time however
gambling would be so easy if the gamblers fallacy was true. The fact
is that there are equal chances of black or red being spun what's
happened in the past has absolutely no bearing on future probabilities
the odds are still 50/50 (minus the zeros).
The most famous system based on this fallacy is called the martingale
and it has also been around for a couple of hundred years. In the
martingale you keep making the same bet (e.g black) until you win, but
if you lose you must double your stake and keep doubling it until you
win. It works on the assumption above that the probability of you
losing each time somehow decreases if you keep making the same bet but
alas it doesn't.
The doubling stake means that the Martingale can quickly get very
expensive and although you can win with luck (just as you can by
playing randomly) it is a very risky way of making small profits for
potentially high risk.
If you want to play against the true odds of a totally random online
roulette game, you'll need to try one of the excellent live online
roulette games.In my opinion they are much more fun than the ordinary
computer generated roulette games which I find rather boring after a
while and they'd be even less incentive to use misleading roulette
secrets to lose online.
