The word “roulette” has probably the origin from the French word “roulette” which means the wheel. Nobody can claim now the precise historical data on the origin of roulette games since there are lots of assumptions. One of them ascribes the invention of roulette to Pascal who was a well known scientist and philosopher of 17 th century and even someone religious people consider it to belong to the handiwork of the devil. Well, in any case we have to understand that roulette is quite an original invention. Thus, it is sometimes called the wheel of fortune. One of the special features of French roulette is double zero number on the wheel which exists apart from just a single zero being opposite to that on the wheel.
The European kind of roulette which one can still see in some of the casinos has its roots in Germany of the middle of 19 th century. They say it was invented it by a businessman Francois Blanc. He removed from the roulette wheel the 00 (double zero) number. By doing this Mr. Blanc has improved the chances of roulette players on winning and as a consequence he increased the attendance parameters in the gambling houses where he used to work as a manager. Later on Mr. Blanc was hired by Charles Grimaldi, the Prince of Monaco who has the objective to increase the prosperity of his casino in Monte Carlo and since then the European roulette is working around the world.
The popularity of the roulette game nowadays is huge and we may state it is the most often played casino game in the whole world. According to polls even in online casinos it is getting more and more popular since the online casinos started to offer the players a king of “triple system of checking the fidelity”. Well, since it is so popular it’s easy to foresee that many people are searching for the different systems of beating the wheel in this casino game. The more simple way to do that at first glance is to look for hot and cold sectors or numbers and hit the one which comes currently less often but in fact gambling life is not so easy. , others try to make their bets in a special way and in some theories roulette bias is used.
Can you beat the roulette wheel?
That’s a tough question so let us look at it in details. Imagine that you want to win my coin of 1 USD if we play pitch-and-toss. Just $1 and not even more. Can you win for sure? Of course, the answer would be positive but in two cases:
Case 1. If I accept your rules of the game;
Case 2. If you have significant amount of money to play for i.e. allowing you to play on a particular system.
However, the roulette is about the same. It is like you are asking me to throw a coin and offer a bet of $ 1 on what will appear eagle. If you win the objective has been achieved and the game can be immediately stopped/ but if you had the tails you are to bet again but in this case $ 2 instead of one for the eagle to be next. If an eagle dropped the second time you are as a result of two tosses won a dollar and still achieved your objective but, however, again falls tails you must bet $ 4 aiming to win eventually and so on until eagle would drop.
You may ask me what is the likelihood that the eagle never falls? It is a math model so let’s calculate. The probability that the eagle will not drop by the first roll is 1 / 2, the probability that the eagle will not drop either the second roll is 1 / 4. Then the probability chances decreases exponentially. Of the three shots – 1 / 8, the four – 1 / 16 … out of ten – 1 / 1024.
Thus, it is more or less obvious that the probability the eagle will fall at least once every ten shots is more than 99,9%. Looking at that can you tell me you win $ 1from me in this game?
Surely, you can since the probability of 0.999 is almost close to one hundred percent! But, please remember the two cases mentioned before i.e. this scheme requires at first that I agreed to play under such conditions even if it is not a roulette but some other game and secondly, to have an adequate supply of money. If after all we arrive to the tenth throw and the eagle has not dropped out before you already paid as bets 511 dollars (1 +2 +4 +8 +16 +32 +64 +128 +256), and the value of bets In the tenth roll will be 512 dollars which meant in order to win JUST 1$ you spent beforehand $511 and if you has on you that day only $500 you would be in a big trouble.
In some way the roulette repeats this pattern if you bet on the so-called Equal Chances i.e. red or black sectors or even and odd or more Vs less. The only difference here is that the probability of each of these opportunities is slightly less than a half – from 1 / 2 and 18/37 due to the fact that roulette also has zero number which drops once in a while.
Let’s then calculate the same strategy for several consecutive bids for roulette because roulette game is not just one spin. Suppose you start betting only on red. The probability that the red will not drop out in first spin is 19/37 or 0.513513 whereas the probability chances that the red will not drop out either the first or second spin comprise 19/37 divided by 2 or 0.263696. In fact, this principle of a consistent increase in rates in case of loss is used in many systems for roulette successful gambling with the most famous of them is called “Martingale”. In order to be more precise, martingale is called the system itself i.e. the principle which is built upon countless systems game. Some players prefer to increase rates when losing previous ones, while when winning they prefer to reduce the bet or use more complex combination schemes.
