It works by setting a mathematical formula that will raise bets to cover loses. This of course does not demand a math guru!  In betting, when using the Martingale system, you are advised to start with the lowest bet allowable. Just remember that your bankroll has a limit to your betting to protect you from loses you are sure to have.

When you start your bet at for example £5, keep betting with similar small units even when your win. Repeat same bet amount until you lose – which you will. With a loss, you can now double your bet, in this case to £10.  In the event that you win the round played with a bet of £10, then you would have covered the immediate loss and scored even. However if you lose again, then you have to double and upon winning the third round, you can go back to betting at £5. The goal is to keep taking higher risks to cover loses. This will of course work well as long as you win the round with the higher bet. You therefore have to know when to stop the higher bids otherwise you will leave the casino poorer than when you entered.

The system therefore only works for short periods, it should not be played in more than 6 rounds where you experience six consecutive losses.

It is true that one can have opportunities to cheat in land-based casino games such as roulette however, in online roulette, this is next to impossible. This is because of the best of equipments used. The key way of doing this is by forcing the wheel to stop at the point where it will grant you the win.

Warning, do not attempt to cheat unless you are sure of not being caught!

More importantly is that you need to consider whether cheating will be worth the risk. Chances of being caught are high especially when you have many ‘lucky runs’. The most common type of cheating includes wheel tampering, beating the ball or switching roulette tables. Any of these would take a swift hand or connection with casino staff. Tampering with the wheel is done through the placing of magnets in the wheel’s four sides. The magnet attached to the croupier would attract the balls into the slot. However, this old trick is not used any more. This is because it takes an insider to be able to successfully plan the trick. This is the reason as to why online games cannot be cheated through this method.

Alternatively, holes can be punched in the roulette balls so that croupier would send the balls to far away from the bets on the table. A fast player can cheat when the croupier is not paying attention, especially when a distraction happens from other players. However, you should beware of security measures inside the casino if you ever dared to cheat the system.
