Roulette Answers

Online Roulette Daddy doesn't have a lot of content live yet, but we do get some visitors from search engines who are looking for the answers to some very specific questions. As we read these questions, we think about whether or not we'd like to devote some additional time to providing answers to these roulette questions. (Many times the question can more easily be answered by a specific page of content on our site.)

Roulette Questions and Answers

1. where can i learn about roulette?

I'm not sure exactly what someone is looking for when they search for "about roulette" instead of just "roulette", but our entire site is about roulette. If you want to learn more about roulette, we can recommend a broader, more content rich site about roulette here: Roulette Hero. Most websites about roulette aren't particularly high quality though. Even the Wikipedia article about roulette isn't particularly top notch, because it gets vandalized so often.

2. gambler's fallacy roulette? how does gambler's fallacy apply to roulette? what is the gamblers fallacy in roulette?

This is a question about the "gambler's fallacy". Roulette is a particularly popular game among players who commit the gambler's fallacy, in fact, so it's an appropriate question to answer here. Simply put, the gambler's fallacy is the belief that the odds of something happening change after a series of preceding events.

An example of the gamblers fallacy in roulette would be to bet on black after the ball has landed on red eight times in a row. The thought process is that it's unlikely for the ball to land on red nine times in a row, so a bet on black here will be profitable. (Another example would be to place a bet on red in the belief that red numbers are somehow "hot" because they've been coming up so frequently.)

In either case, it's a fallacy, because the odds on independent trials don't change. On an American roulette wheel, the odds of landing on red are still 17 out of 36, or 47.2%. It doesn't matter how many times red has come up previously, the chance of hitting red is always the same on any given trial.

3. how many losses in a row in online roulette?

This question "how many losses in a row in online roulette" seems unfinished, but it's one of the queries that brought a visitor to our site. It sounds like someone had a run of bad luck playing online roulette, possibly while using the Martingale system, and they suspect they're being cheated. What people searching for how many losses in a row in online roulette are probably forgetting is that roulette has one of the highest house edges in the casino industry. The number of losses in a row don't really matter. In a negative expectation game, if you play long enough, you will lose all of your money as surely as the night follows the day.

The higher the house edge, the more quickly you'll lose your money. So don't worry about how many losses in a row you saw in your online roulette game. Focus on finding a game with better odds. Heck you can switch from American roulette to European roulette and cut the casino's edge in half just by doing that. But you could also learn to play blackjack or poker and actually stand a chance of getting an edge over a casino.

4. is martingale foolish? what's the martingale system expectation? martingale system, does it work? martingale system is good? roulette martingale for smaller bankroll? why does the martingale system work with infinite money? why doesn't martingale work on roulette? ways to beat the martingale system? have you made money from the martingale system ?

Is Martingale foolish? For the most part, yeah, it's foolish to expect any progressive betting system to change the odds from the house's favor to yours. If a system as simple as the Martingale worked, the casinos would have gone out of business a long time ago.

What's the Martingale system expectation? The Martingale system doesn't change a game's expectation. The player expectation for a European roulette game is -2.7%, so over a long enough period of time, you can expect to lose $2.70 for every $100 you wager. In the short term, anything can happen.

Martingale system, does it work? Not in the way you'd think. Anyone playing the Martingale system will eventually lose all their money, because no one has a big enough bankroll to stand up to the kinds of streaks they can eventually expect. The Martingale system guarantees occasional small wins and infrequent huge losses. The huge losses more than make up for the small win.

The Martingale system is good? Not really, no. It can be fun, but the games aren't really even money games, and the house edge never gets smaller based on any kind of progression betting system like the Martingale. Sorry.

Roulette Martingale for smaller bankroll? The one thing you absolutely must have to use the Martingale system is a large bankroll. There is no variation of "roulette Martingale for smaller bankroll" to use as a strategy. And unless you have an infinite bankroll and a casino with no max betting limits, you can't use the Martingale system as a winning strategy. Not for long anyway.

Why does the Martingale system work with infinite money? Actually, the Martingale system requires more than just infinite money to work. You also need an unlimited maximum betting limit. Even if you had an infinite amount of money, if the betting limit at the table is $500, you'll still lose with the Martingale. Because eventually you'll hit a run where you'd need to bet more than $500 to recoup the losses from your previous bet.

On the other hand, if you had infinite money, any loss would be meaningless. Of course, any win would be meaningless too. The whole discussion of the Martingale system working if you have an infinite amount of money is moot and meaningless really.

Why doesn't Martingale work on roulette? After answering all of these other questions, the question of why the Martingale system doesn't work on roullete should be pretty obvious. But if you're still confused about why Martingale doesn't work in roulette, go to the link in the right column and click on our Martingale system article. We explain it in detail there.

Ways to beat the Martingale system? The best way to beat the Martingale system is to offer a negative expectation game, have betting limits, and wait. If you're a player, then you're not trying to beat the Martingale system, probably. You're probably trying to use the Martingale system to beat the casino, which is a whole other question. (A question which is probably answered above somewhere.)

Have you made money from the Martingale system?

Yes, I have made money (won money) from the Martingale system. That doesn't make it a winning system long term. And I've lost more money using the Martingale system than I've won using it, I can promise you. Asking "have you made money from the Martingale system?" is a useless question. You should be interested in finding a positive expectation game. And you should be satisfied with occasional short-term wins at roulette if you're just playing to have fun. (Which is what you should be doing if you're playing roulette - having fun.)

5. what is progressive roulette?

Progressive roulette is a roulette game with a progressive jackpot. It's similar to a progressive slot machine game. The progressive jackpot is almost always won by placing an optional or mandatory sidebet. The house edge on a progressive roulette game is usually higher than the house edge on a standard roulette game.

6. what is a roulette strategy myth? what is roulette strategy wikipedia? roulette strategies wiki?

Any roulette strategy is a myth. By default. Roulette can't be beaten with any kind of betting strategy, and people who claim otherwise are lying or mistaken. The closest thing to a real "roulette strategy" is the idea of tracking a roulette wheel until you've found a bias. But even that's not a practical strategy. It would take days of observation before finding a biased wheel, and even then, the casino might move the roulette wheel to another table when you're not around. And not all roulette wheels have a bias, and even some of the ones that do have a bias don't have enough of a bias to overcome the huge house edge. So in our education opinion, any roulette strategy is a "roulette strategy myth", and the Internet is full of roulette strategy myths.

Roulette strategy Wikipedia is probably just someone asking the search engine to display pages in the Wikipedia about roulette strategy. I'd suggest that Wikipedia is one of the worst places to learn about roulette strategy, but I'd probably be wrong, because lots of people make crazy money selling lame roulette strategies and slot machine systems on the Internet. Some of the strategy salesmen even edit Wikipedia articles, although they usually get reverted pretty quickly. Anyway, even though it brought us some traffic, the query for "roulette strategy Wikipedia" is kinda lame.

Roulette strategies wiki is probably the same thing - someone looking for a wiki outlining roulette strategies. I don't have one that I can recommend, sorry.

7. what is a winning percentage in roulette? why can't roulette be beaten?

There is no winning percentage in roulette. Not in the long run, anyway. Roulette is a negative expectation game. Anyone who tells you that you can use a betting system of some kind to get a winning percentage at roulette is mistaken or worse, lying. If someone did come up with a winning roulette percentage, they probably wouldn't tell anyone for a while.

So, if you want the answer to the question, "Why can't roulette be beaten?" It's pretty simple, "Roulette is a negative expectation game." The reason roulette can't be beaten, and the reason it's a negative expectation game, is because the bets pay out at less than their true odds. The odds of hitting a single number are 37 to 1, but it only pays out at 35 to 1.

8. wiki progressive betting?

I'm not sure what someone who's looking for "wiki progressive betting" is after, but maybe they're looking for a wiki specifically about progressive betting systems? That sounds like the kind of thing that John Patrick might want to help out with.

9. whats the most a roulette red or black can come up? online roulette how many reds? maximum times red in a row in roulette? how many times in a row has roulette landed on black? chances of getting red 9 times in roulette?

It looks like when someone is asking what's the most a roulette red or black can come up is someone asking about how many times in a row is it possible to get either red or black. Theoretically, it would be unlikely for the wheel to come up red or black a really large number of times, but the question ignores the reality that each spin is an independent trial. In other words, if you have a ball land on red 99 times in a row, on the 100th spin, the odds of the ball landing on red is still 17/38, or 44.7%.

Someone searching for "online roulette how many reds?" is probably just as interested in "online roulette how many blacks"? It's possible that this person is making the same mistake in judgment that we talked about in the previous paragraph, assuming that the previous spins have some kind of effect on the outcome of the next spin. And the person searching for "maximum times red in a row in roulette?" is almost definitely making that mistake.

But it's also possible that they just want to know how many red numbers there are in an online roulette game.

The answer is the same as in a normal roulette game. There are 18 red numbers.

And someone looking for "how many times in a row has roulette landed on black? " is probably wondering if someone somewhere has recorded a world record for the most number of successive black results were landed on in a roulette game. I don't know of any record keeping organization that's ever tracked such a thing.

10. what happens when you land on the green in european roulette?

The same thing happens when you land on green in European roulette as happens when you land on green in American roulette. If you bet on green, then your bet is paid out. If you didn't, you lose your bet. Some casinos offer an optional en prison rule, where your bet is imprisoned until the next spin. And that's what happens when you land on the green in European roulette.

11. roulette machine - how does it work?

Another way to phrase this question would be to ask how a roulette machine works. But all roulette games use a "roulette machine". The wheel that spins in a roulette game is a simple machine.

It's more likely that the person who searched for "roulette machine - how does it work?" was playing the new Rapid Roulette machine at a casino and was wondering how it works. I don't know how the machine works internally, but playing roulette on a Rapid Roulette machine isn't much different from playing regular roulette. In fact, it's very similar to playing roulette on the Internet.

You give the dealer your money, and she adds it to your bankroll on the machine in front of you. You use the touch sensitive screen to place your bets. I played one of the new Rapid Roulette machines in Kansas City, and it was pretty cool

And that's more or less how a roulette machine works.

12. learn to cheat roulette machine? do casinos cheat roulette magnets? roulette magnet?

I can't imagine a way to learn to cheat a roulette machine that would be effective enough to be worth the trouble. If you want to get into advantage gambling, cheating is probably the wrong approach, and roulette cheating in particular is a bad idea. If you want to win at a game and have a positive edge, play poker really well, or learn to count cards at blackjack. There's really no need to try to learn to cheat roulette machines.

Since the casinos already have a big advantage at roulette, I don't think they have much reason to try to cheat using magnets. I know the image of a casino cheating and using a magnet to affect the outcome of a roulette spin has a certain kind of charm, but, it's so unlikely as to be almost impossible.

I don't know of anyplace where you can buy a "roulette magnet" either.
