As exciting as getting involved with betting is, the entire foundation operates on one undeniable basis: chance. While we may try to convince ourselves otherwise, every betting system in every truly random game is more like a specific way to play than it is a guaranteed method of winning. To this end, any person or system that claims it can lay down a path to success will always be misleading. The Kavouras betting system, like all others, may be interesting, but it’s still not a license to print money. What it can be instead is an interesting way to approach the game, and a nice way to try&nbs ..read more

Humans have evolved to find patterns, and our brains are so wired to this pursuit that we can be tricked into seeing connections where none exist. This is perhaps why, in games of chance, humans have problems understanding exactly how odds and betting work.

With statistical analysis, we can track down the real odds of betting ideas and strategies, to see how they really work. In approaches like Romanosky’s betting system for roulette, mathematical understanding leaves us with one ine ..read more

Since the dawn of gambling in the halls of ancient civilisations, the house has always had the edge. Yet, the players have always attempted to prove that they can logically beat the game. It used to be that betting systems would work their way around a dedicated few, but thanks to the wonders of the internet, anyone can quickly find a supposed expert detailing a proven betting system.

The hook is that it’s ..read more

If you’ve played roulette before, you’ll be aware of the complexity of the game and the potential to bet on a vast array of diverse outcomes. While the game is purely based on chance, some players do like to go in with a strategy to try to improve their chances of winning. For example, many would agree that placing random bets on each spin is unwise, and that bettors should be consistent when they put their chips down. One of the most famous betting systems in existence is the D’Alembert approach, which is renowned for its simplicity. Indeed, it is regarded as the second-most popular strategy ..read more

Of the many betting systems out there, lauded by expert gamblers, the Paroli betting system comes across as the most user-friendly, in theory. Billed as a ‘positive’ progression betting system, the Paroli side-steps the scarier Martingale procedures to appear as a lower-risk strategy.

It may rely on a smaller capped scale and be simple in its execution, but the Paroli betting system isn’t guaranteed to work. So, here’s why you should think twice about committing to the Paroli method. What is the ..read more

Across all types of casino games since the dawn of time, people have claimed to have developed a fool-proof system for beating iron-clad odds and gaming the game itself. To some extent, this makes sense where this is a modicum of skill involved in the game, such as poker. However, the efficacy of betting systems is less clear when you are playing a game that is entirely reliant on blind luck for success. Such is the case with roulette, which remains one of the most popular and iconic casino games in the world, one that has been going strong for close to 300 years now. The beauty of roulette li ..read more
