Roulette: progressions

The roulette progressions are strategies of game based on the form or amount to bet. You must know clearly that there is no foolproof methods that provides millionaire gains to you, and if it exists, possibly it isn´t published.

Some of more known methods are the following:

• Martingala: possibly the more extended method. It consists to start betting a certain amount to a color (red or black) or to a group (even or uneven, high or low). If you guess right you must bet the same initial amount to the same group of numbers, if you fail you bet double to the opposite group, that means, if you bet to red and win you continue betting to red one, but if you lose you must bet double to black. Whenever you don´t guess right you must continue duplicating your bet in the same variable until you guess right and when you guess right you begin the sequence again. The casinos determine a money limit maximum to bet usually, therefore following “martingala” in a long sequence of failures can arrive the moment in which casino don´t allow to double your bet, because you exceed the limit. You know that no method is infallible.
• Labauchere progression: it´s a simple method. You must write a series of numbers in a paper, you must consider that of those numbers will depend the amount of your bets (Example 1-2-3-4-5).  You sum the 2 numbers that there are in the ends of your sequence and that is your first bet (5+1=6). If you guess right you must cross the 2 numbers and you return bet the sum of the 2 following numbers of the ends (2+4=6) until you cross all the numbers. If you fail add the number of the sum to the sequence and return to begin adding the principle and the end of series (1-2-3-4-5-6 ......... bet 1+6=7). When you are able to erase all the sequence your benefit will be the sum of the ends of initial series. Note that on error the sum to bet is increasing considerably.
• Inverse Labauchere progression: the form to play is similar to the previous one but with a difference in your bets, when you guess right you add your bet to the series and when you fail you cross the ends of the series.
• Alembert progression: also known as “pyramid system” consists in increasing 1 unit to the bet when it´s lost and to diminish 1 unit when it gains. It´s a good idea to set a limit to the gains and in losses, because you marks the end of the progression.
