A betting system for roulette and some other gambling games known as the Martingale strategy is familiar to most of our regular readers. Moreover, we are sure that many of them have personally tested it.
This model is undoubtedly the most famous strategy of its kind. We have devoted a few articles to it, trying to explain to our readers why it cannot help you beat casinos. You will find these publications following the links or using a search engine of Casinoz.
This betting system has several versions. One of them is the so-called American Martingale. This article deals with this strategy.
Description of American Martingale
This system is also called the American Rising strategy.
It is a betting progression, implying an increase in the bet size. It should be raisedin case of unprofitable spins.
The American Martingale betting system is mainly used while playing roulette on equal chances, so we'll treat it as an example of a gambling game. It can be used in any roulette with the opportunity to bet on red/black, odd/even, and high/low. Of course, the French version is more profitable since it features the La Partage rule.
This betting system aims to compensate for two losses in each victory. If the number of unprofitable rounds is higher, the next bet should equal the amount lost in the first and last spins. Having won, you should cross out these data and consider those not on the list. The explanation is provided below.
You will have to write down the outcomes of spins since it is difficult to memorize all data, especially if you are in the red. However, it is accessible at online casinos. So, prepare a sheet of paper and a pencil. Everything seems to be more complex in brick-and-mortar clubs. Nevertheless, you can always invent something or develop your convenient system that allows calculating in your head.
American Martingale Step-by-Step
Let's discuss the American Martingale betting system in detail, taking even money bets in the traditional European roulette as an example. Our calculations will be based on the assumption that the initial bet equals one credit.
You do not need to analyze previous spins, so you can start playing immediately.
We offer a table that may help you observe the gameplay and select the desired bet size. For example, you always bet on black.
| Your Bet | Outcome | Bet | Count | Profit | Your Notes |
| Black | Red | 1 | -1 | -1 | 1 |
Black | Red | 2 | -2 | -3 | 1, 2 |
Black | Red | 3 | -3 | -6 | 3, 2, 1 |
Black | Red | 4 | -4 | -10 | 4, 3, 2, 1 |
Black | Black | 5 | +5 | -5 | 5, 4, 3, 2 |
Black | Red | 7 | -7 | -12 | 7, 5, 3, 2 |
Black | Black | 9 | +9 | -3 | 9, 7, 5, 3 |
Black | Black | 12 | +12 | +9 | 12, 9, 5 |
Let's discuss this strategy in detail.
- Having lost, you double your bet and write the number of initial bets that should be won back in your notes.
- Having lost once again, note that winning back one and two bets is necessary. One plus two equals three. It is the size of your stake in the next round.
- If you lose again, write: 3, 2, and 1. The first and the last numbers form the bet for the next round, i.e., 3 plus 1 equals 4. Make bets in this way until you win.
- As soon as you succeed in winning, you should add the payout sum in initial bets to the beginning of your list. You cross out the last figure (i.e., the minimum losing bet).
- The next bet should equal two-terminal figures on your list added together.
It is up to you to decide when to stop. It is recommended that you should start again as soon as you reach a positive result. In other words, start with the minimum bet as soon as you are in the black. It is the safest strategy.
Conclusion
It has been known that the classic Martingale strategy may be dangerous because the bet significantly increases even in case of a short period of losses. Therefore, it is necessary to risk a large sum to win only one initial bet. If the table has low betting limits, the user quickly reaches the upper limit and cannot continue to play according to the established pattern.
The American Martingale betting system is quite aggressive and, therefore, risky. Gamblers need to raise bets in many situations, devastating their bankrolls quickly.
To sum up, we will remind you that none of the betting systems can help you beat roulette. We have already explained in various articles on Casinoz why it is impossible to reduce the house edge in this way.
Be prudent and always gamble wisely!
