Then there’s betting systems like the Martingale, where you are supposed to double your wager after each losing one and then reset when you win. You can bet pass and don’t pass but there’s rolling a 12 on the come out roll not being balanced. You can bet red and black concurrently on roulette, but occasionally those green 0/00 (or I hope you’re not playing 000) roulette spaces will clear both wagers away. There are all sorts of betting systems out there, but each falls down because each wager you’re placing still goes up against the house edge of the casino. STATUS: No betting system works consistently against the house edge. It came up because another casino author (one I won’t link to because of the problems with the material they publish) was telling people they could “test” slot machines to see if they would pay under certain circumstances.īut we can zoom out to a much simpler question: Do betting systems for casino games work? A recent question from a slot player in a community of which I’m a part triggered a question I’ve never answered, but have seen periodically.
