Gambling systems
There have been many gambling systems that have been devised by both professional and amateur gamblers alike. They believe that their system will help offset the casinos built in advantage and give them an edge. To some degree and over the short term this may be true, but the biggest problem with gambling systems is not the system itself, but the lack of self discipline and control on the side of the gambler. Many gamblers who do not see an initial success with a system will quickly become frustrated, and abandon it and just start betting haphazardly with the hope that luck will overcome the online casinos advantage, and that's not likely to happen. If you are to use some sort of system the most important thing you must do is to maintain your cool and self discipline and stick with it. If you find yourself on a losing streak don't panic and abandon your system, but cut down on the amount of your wagers. However, if find yourself on a winning streak increase your wagers and play it for all you can. The following three gambling systems are some of the more common ones but there are others, and there are many excellent books and websites that discuss gambling systems in more detail. You could probably even devise your own system if you have a basic understanding of the theory of probability or have taken some statistics in high school, or college.
The Martingale system
The Martingale betting or wagering system is probably the oldest one known. It is a negative progression system, which means simply this, every time you lose you increase your next bet. The way the Martingale system works is every time you lose on your next bet you double up and you keep doubling up until you hit a winner. In other words your first bet might be one unit, if you lose that your next bet would be two units, if you lose that your next bet would be four units etc. You would keep going in this fashion until you eventually hit a winner. In theory this system works fine except for one thing. If you hit a long extended losing streak you could wipe out even a large bankroll for a small net win. If you plan on using a system of this sort I would advise that you set yourself a maximum amount your willing to wager before you start over.
The Paroli betting system
The Paroli betting or wagering system is sort of the opposite of the Martingale betting system. Some gamblers even refer to it as the anti-Martingale system. It is a positive progression system which means that rather than increasing your bet when you lose as in the Martingale system, you increase your bet when you win. In other words it is sort of like let it ride. The advantage of this sort of system over the Martingale is that it requires a smaller bankroll. The only thing that you the gambler has to decide is to how much to let it ride before you start over. To give you the basic idea behind it you might start off betting one unit, a unit can be any amount you decide. It could be $1, $5, $10, etc. If you lose the bet you keep betting one unit until you hit a winner. When you do hit that winner you increase your bet by any amount you feel comfortable with. I would advise when playing a system like this that after each win you pull or drag some of your winnings to help offset any losing cycles.
the 1326 system
The 1326 is another variation of a positive progression system. It's similar to the Paroli system except it relies on winning four spins of the Roulette wheel, or hands of casino war or hands of blackjack, or any other casino game. The way it works is really quite simple. On your first wager, you bet one unit. A unit can be any amount you like. It could be 1 dollar, 5 dollars, 10 dollars or any amount you choose. On your second bet you wager 3 units, the fourth, 2 units and your last bet would be 6 units. If at any time during the progression you lose go back down to 1 unit and start over. The system depends on your winning 4 spins of the Roulette wheel, or hand of blackjack, casino war or any game with near even odds. To give you an example lets assume your playing Roulette and betting on red, and your unit of wagering is $10. On your first spin if you win you would have a total of $20 on the table, of this you would add another $10 and increase your bet total bet to $30 if you won that bet you would have a total of $60 on the table. Now the idea would be to pull or drag $40 and wager the $20 that's remaining. If you win the $20 bet you would have a total of $40 on the table, add to this another $20 for a total of 6 units. You risk a total of $20 for a chance to win $120 and all you need to win is four in a row, and if you watch gambling games like roulette, or any of the other casino games with at or near even odds there are several times when the player or the casino will win that 4 in a row. Before betting any real money with this or any other system I would suggest that you open a fun account at one of the online casinos and perfect the system before investing any of your real money. I personally have used this system and it can and does work so give it a try. I do want to say one thing however is that no system is perfect and none can guarantee you'll win at every playing session.
Do Gambling systems really work ?
There are some skeptical gamblers who will tell you that gambling systems do not work. Their logic goes something like this. When you flip a coin you have a 50-50 chance of it coming up either heads or tails. Then on the next flip of that same coin you also have a 50-50 chance of it coming up either heads or tails again. The skeptics say that it does not matter how may times you flip that coin you have a 50-50 chance on it coming up heads or tails on any given flip of that coin. This assumption is true, the coin does not know or care what came up on the flips previous to the current flip or what may come up on subsequent flips. It will always have that 50-50 chance.
What these people, who are skeptical of gambling systems don't seem to understand is the probability of an event happening. Allow me to give you an example of what I mean. If you flip that coin and it comes up heads what is the probability it'll come up heads the next flip, or how about the third, or fourth. The question is this. Could you flip that coin and get 10 or perhaps even a 100 heads in a row? yes! it is theoretically possible, but it becomes more and more unlikely because of the laws of probability. There are mathematical formulas for calculating these probabilities, but I'm not going to go into it on this site. If your interested you could probably find the information in any college text book on statistics or high school text books on the theory of probably. I'm sure there are also some excellent websites that are better equiped than I to explain the mathamatics involved.
Like I say, the reason gambling systems don't work is not the fault of the system, but rather that of the gambler for not having the discipline to stick with it and modify his or her betting strategies depending on game play.
