I just started playing roulette, but my general strategy has been martingale, not because it works (statistically you will still walk away with a loss eventually), but because I like how it simply speeds up wins/losses. Then, I'll withdraw profits when I win and start the stakes over with low stakes using my default bankroll. If I run into losses, I stop doubling up, eat the loss, and restart with low stakes. To me, this will mean some weeks where I have extra pocket change until I lose my default bankroll. Then, I simply wait until I have spare money to play with at a later time. This way, I'm gambling for fun and not under the fallacy that I'll walk away with winnings. Enjoy lucky weeks, expect losses.

This is such a great video, not just for roulette, but because it illustrates the entire principal of casino games in general - you simply cannot win. Maybe you as an individual can get lucky and win around or a session every once in awhile, but the public in general can never win over the casino because the games are specifically designed that way. There was no need for the casino to cheat, the odds are simply in their favor over a long enough period of games, because they simply do not pay at fair odds.

[@franklee9095]

Actually, you gave me some snotty reply 2 months ago that I didn't know what I was talking about and didn't know simple math. I've only been interested in Roulette for about 4 months but since your "you don't know what you're doing" email I'm up $11,850. I've been going twice a week for two months, only setting small goals each time. Lost about 20% of the time, won 80% of the time. As I practice at home on a site that has Roulette for free I get the same ratio over a greater sampling. Luck's involved but it's not just luck. I just posted my technique, you might want to go to some site like 247roulette.org which is free and try it. I'd be curious if you lost a lot or won often. Because I think it's also part attitude. So far my attitude's bought me a new clothes dryer, a 21 sqft freezer and a 500MHz 4 channel oscilloscope for free. Oh, and a pull down sprayer faucet just today. Stay positive!

Expected value works in the long run but not necessarily in the short run. Hence, there are good odds of winning money if you play for a small number of times.

So the laws of physics and math work over the long haul, but not the short haul? Sorry, but, with respect, it is just such thinking that makes the casinos money.

@@drferry No. In the short term you have a 47% chance of doubling your money. The more and more you play, you are ensuring with certainty that you lose money overall. You have a 47% chance of making money playing once, and that chance of winning overall approaches 0 the more times you play.

Betting the same amount on 2 columns at once is always my strategy. The paybacks not great but the win percentage is in your favor. Middle and right columns seem to be the most frequent hits.

[@LaatiMafia]

+Dent Harvey So you are willingly giving money to the casino? You will never win, never. You have aproximately 66% chance to double. 33% chance to lose your bets. Example: You bet 1 dollar on two columns. That will cost you 2 dollars. IF you win, you will lose 1 dollar for the column that didn't win. From the winning column, you get 2 dollars. So for the bet of 2 dollars, you won 2 dollars. That is 1:1 win ratio. IF you lose, you will lose 2 dollars, one from each column that didn't win. So for the bet of 2 dollars, you lost 2 dollars. So every 2/3 of the time, you win nothing. Every 1/3 time, you lose 2 dollars. That is the worst strategy I have ever seen.

My Question is; Whats the odds of winning 5 spins in a row? Betting the 1st., 2nd. or third section Also, how would I figure that out? Thank You very much.

[@mikewhite735]

It's rather simple math. Since your chance of winning on any single roll is 12/38, your chance of winning 5 in a row during the next 5 rolls is (12/38)^5 or about 0.3%

Professor Benjamin, recently I'm playing a spinning wheel game online. Here's the situation: players bet on four given multiples of the betting amount---2 ,3, 7, 18, and the wheel consists of 37 bars for the pointer to land on, among the 37 bars, there are 18 2s, 12 3s, 5 7s, and 2 18s. Apparently, betting on 18 yields the maximum return. However, based on my observation and experience, the frequency for 18 could appear 2 times in a row, and then reappear in 3 to 10 rounds of betting, but eventually I had to patiently wait for 28 to 120 rounds for 18 to pop up again, which is perplexing to put bets on. In one extreme case, the pattern went 18,7,7,18,7,18. On the basis of the laws of probability theory and stochastic processes, what is the safest bet for maximum return when betting on 18 and 7?

[@thefuture6570]

The only way to win it, is dont gamble

[@barcharlie]

Some people walk up and will put $100 on red or black with an expected win of 18:38. I contend if that same person put $90 on red or black and $5 on each of the two green numbers they still have $100 on the table but have increased their odds of winning by 2 numbers. Also if they hit one of the green numbers that pays $175 - the $100 bet still clears $75. In the long run this probably would not pay off but for that one time thrill better I like to take insurance. Note if you try this and hit on the green i suggest you put $20 to $30 on split greens for the next spin. Could pay for your weekend trip.

[@Sarconthewolf]

I was betting last month, winning on betting black and red. When I lost I would double up the bet. Then all of a sudden the wheel came up with 3 zeros in a row. Lost a lot of chips. I left after that thinking it was rigged.

dang, if u lost your money with only 3 rounds of side bets, you were playing large portions. You need to afford the losses so you can finally land a win and be reimbursed with your strategy (called Martingale). Pick a good set of losses you're willing to take then do the math on how to break it up the wager per round.

[@aminmukhida1516]

I always won on roulette ,simply just put any bet on black or red colour and double the bett unless you win ,like first time one coin if loose put 2 coins then 4 coins on same colour and lastly you will win ,take out your spended money and start again from one coin

[@glckdown4fith785]

My strategy his have fun don't double your bets if you loose....and cash out once you make 3 times what you started with. So if u go in with a $100 bankroll cash out when your bankroll is three hundred. End of story if you keep going u WILL eventually loose it all

[@davidkalakaua3004]

I've only now come across your video. Very informative. I have a question if this EV can be applied to Craps. In the game of Craps, unlike Roulette, you also a "No decision" on several out comes. For example if the point is #4; you have 3 ways out of 36 to win and 6 ways out of 36 to lose (7-out). So the remaining other 27 combinations are a "No decision", because you didn't win nor did you lose. How would you get the EV in the game of Craps?

[@mrk738]

David Kalakaua. Just remove the " no decision" roll so you now have 3/36 =1/12 to win and vrs 6/36 = 1/6 to loose , so your twice as likely to loose as to win

[@biggawinnacrapsa3870]

By imagining every bet vs every possible outcome. Read 'Scarne on Dice'. It's an old book but the guy who wrote it knew everything there is to know about the game of Craps, and he throws in some amusing stories along the way. I only wish he was alive to see Patricia DeMauro hold the dice for 4 hours and 18 minutes in 2009 at the Borgata in AC.

[@Fernando-jy6ut]

Correct t me if i'm wrong but I dont think this is how it works. The odds that you will win mostly depend on how many numbers you bet. Say that you bet $1 for number 1 to 35 which means you bet for $35 The odd that one numbers of yours will win is: 35/38 = more than 0.9 or more than 90% You would win $35 and lose the other $34 or win $1 for the odd of 90% And the odd of you lose the $35 bet is 3/38 or roughly 10% . . But what i'm talking about here is the odd of winning, not the amount of how much you win. While you can lose $35 , MOSTLY you will win $1

[@kevinleung9120]

Andre Gunadi If you play less hands then this is true. If you win $1, 34/38 times you are expected to win $89.47(winning around 90%) if you play 100 times. Your expected to lose $34 (the bet size if every bet is $1), 4/38 times, then your expected loss after 100 games is 357.89(you lose around 10 times). The casino's would love having you around.

ive played 24 out of 38 numbers and lost more than ive won!! what does that say

[@danielblazek9642]

so u cant play... ive won 26games of 30

[@matthewbaumann630]

What?

[@trollemall7016]

It says that you can't win at the game - no matter how you play it. It's mathematically impossible.

[@beingright]

The pick 3 lottery is one of the worst bets. Pick 3 single digit numbers in order so odds of winning are 10X10X10 or 1 in 1,000. When you win, you get $500. Cost is $1. So the expected value is almost exactly -$.50 for every dollar bet (-$.499 to be exact). You lose HALF of your money, on average on each bet. And yet millions of people will play the pick 3 lottery this year. It's like a tax on the math-challenged.

If you want the best chances of actually profiting at a casino, play either Baccarat or Poker. Baccarat because it has (one of) the lowest casino advantage and poker because its skills based (and some luck).

To win in roulette you need luck not math

[@emp731]

The more maths you use the luckier you get.

[@ANT-jm4qx]

GlennSteel69 Well luck is based on probabilty and the probability say that on average you will lose money playing roulette.

[@AmazonFinds.2k]

Thanks for the $1 /1 number bet. Can you please give me the example of $1 each at 10 numbered play? Would that still calculate at 5.3 cents per dollar? = .53/@ $10. Thanks

[@aleksandaraca2486]

So why exactly do I lose everything I gamble on roullette ? They say I lose 2.7% , but I walk with 100$ I lose all. I go with 200 $ I lose. I am 100% in lose xD

[@TheGreatCourses]

You may want to look into the concept of Gambler's Ruin 😉.

[@mrmarvellous5378]

You lose as the rake of 5% is eating into a smaller and smaller bank roll and wipes you out before you know what has happened.

[@dangnguyenhai8971]

Because you not gonna stop when you win. The casino offers their edge but they also let you go whenever you want. In contrast, the casino cannot run away from you and your lucky day. So it’s fair enough

[@PAPITO_49]

What one number is the only number you can bet 13 ways to it? It pays 191 betting one chip each way. I was a roulette dealer for 20 years. I loved the guys from MIT coming in to try a bet me.

If every bet has the same expected value, what does that mean?

[@EARNONLINEFROMDOLLARSADAY]

Good content is Like by far the....gf

[@hamsaprotection5311]

What is the percentage if you play 1st and 2nd 12 on every play? You have 24 of the 38 numbers.

[@GaryLuKOTH]

Unless if you take the five number bet, your expected loss would always be 5.26% of your bet. You lose two bets if that 14/38 chance happens, which is more than 1/3 of the time so you would lose often enough to lose money.

[@sheldonwu1285]

I wish I could speak English so clearly.

[@crjacinro]

Why does 53 cents keep on showing up? Do casinos purposely set this value when deciding on the value for winning a bet? Or this is a math magic number?

[@markmantle6270]

Roulette, some call it the devils game. Is it true that if you add up all the numbers the total is 666 ?

[@biggawinnacrapsa3870]

Yeah, if you leave out the zero and double zero.

I took a game theory class recently, in cty(center for talented youth) greece and i learned that rulette is impossible to be exploited. Its funny how i am 13 yo and i watch some adults making videos about "stradegies to always win in rulette". I always laugh at them😅😂

I guess the fundamental point of the house having better odds exists in the existence of the '0' and '00', without which the EV would amount to 0 in all cases. Wonder how this works for European Roulette. Does the house have slightly worse odds in that case?

Yes

[@frankhandy8868]

[@b6983832]

No, roulette wheel has no 38, but 37 numbers. Also, because of the "en prison" rule, the odds are better. You are referring to roulettei in American casinos, not the European version. This would be considered a serious rip-off by any European. Something like blackjack where the player loses on draw. Roulette is predominantly an European casino game, and the US version should not be presented as the standard of the game. Roulette is very popular in Europe, but not so much in the US - mainly because of the rip off house rules employed by US casinoa.

[@abcfilan38]

Casino have programs in the roulette and camera control first he give you money later he took back

[@Buck_T]

Hi can you work out a percentage for me please. playing blackjack for say 1000 hands lets say 500 of those hands you had an option to draw another card. but with the way i have been playing now if i can bust i dont draw a card. so lets say the dealer then has to draw cards on nearly 500 hands and likely to bust on half of them... I played blackjack for years at the casino and biggest wins were a few hundred to 1000 dollars but once i started playing as stated above my wins have been upto 7k and lots of collects over 3k.. i feel like im winning more than losing and think the percentage in the long run playing like this has tipped in my favour thoughts please.??

[@EvilHazeEdits]

Hence why your account is on negative balance lol 😂

[@marvinratchford7913]

simple compounding is a passive way of winning any type of bet. you can even take some of the profits along the way.... I like compounding dozens, for example! some people prefer the phrase 'let it ride' to the phrase 'let it compound', lol

There is one exception and that is house chips or promo chips. Promo chips are more valuable betting on a single number but a lot of time this is not allowed but when it is it is the most value for your promo chips.

[@danjacktownsend]

Depends what you gamble on.

[@wiseman4160]

When you bet outside the numbers it can land on 3 colors red, black, or green when betting on red or black which only pays 2-1, but green which is 0 or 00 pays 35-1 it could land on green. So say you bet $100.00 on red, also put 4 or more one dollar chips on green. So if you bet on red and it lands on green, your welcome!

Best odds to leave the casino with a profit is to bet the smallest possible amount on red or black, double up when you lose and leave when you win. Only do it once. You won't break the bank but at least you can say you have beaten the casino.

[@ardantimer6715]

waste of 4:52 mins you owe me that time

[@johnulutunu537]

Laatikkomafia that's pretty much a martingale progression betting system. In the long run it doesnt work because you're betting more and more money, just to break even and earn a small profit. It can work short term but remember that no number or colour is 'due'. Past events in roulette doesnt affect the future... unlike blackjack. Also, casino's have limits on how much you can bet and you need a big bankroll to try and make any betting system work (but they dont). I will say that roulette is beatable though, on a REAL wheel.
