The Fibonacci sequence is actually a type of mathematical pattern that arises in science and nature time and time again. Ironically, this same pattern has been used as a betting system for casino games and gambling, including roulette. The pattern itself represents a type of growth or progressive expansion of a system and nearly everyone has heard about it since elementary school.

The pattern starts off with a single unit and begins to expand and grow as follows:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, …..

This pattern continues infinitely and there is actually a very simple way for you to determine the preceding numbers after the ones that I just displayed. All you need to do is add both preceding numbers to get the new one in the series. For example, 0 + 1  = 1, then 1 + 1 = 2. To get the next number after the numbers displayed in the series above, you would take 144 + 233 = 377.

Now for the purposes of gambling, you just start off using the series below:

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ….

It is exactly the same as the one above except you take one of the 1′s out of the beginning since it doesn’t make sense to bet the same value after a consecutive win. You could do this if the winning and losing streaks are really spotty, but it’s not necessary.

Here is an example. Suppose you wager 1 chip and each chip is worth $5. If you win a wager on black or red after the wheel is spun, you would then bet 2 chips or $10. If you win again, then you would bet 3 chips, then 5 chips and so on after winning each time in a row. If you win 10 times in a row, you would be betting 144 chips or $720!

The trick here is to determine when you are going to settle with your profits and start the cycle over. Also, this betting system depends on winning streaks since this is a positive progression strategy, which indicates that you increase your bets as you win. If you lose at any point along the series, then you start all over again at 1 chip, which reduces your risks and prevents you from losing your entire bankroll quickly. Risk management is one of the purposes of the safer betting systems. Many people swear by this betting system, mostly because this sequence of numbers appears in nature so frequently and people tend to think the immaterial and invisible “background” luck  of nature is on their side as well.

Another one of the most popular betting systems is the 1-3-2-6 strategy, which is used greatly at casinos. You can practice this bet management style online and use it in roulette along with just about any other casino game. This system uses properties of positive progression but it also has a cycle to prevent people from betting all of their profits on longer and longer winning streaks, which causes them to lose all of their profits.

The 1-3-2-6 system works by having the player bet 1 chip or unit on the first roulette spin. If the player wins, they will bet 3 chips, then 2 chips and finally a grand 6 chips. That is if they keep winning consecutively. If they win after a 6 chip bet, the cycle starts over again starting with a 1 chip bet. As you can see, a player only needs to have a streak of 4 wins in order to gain the maximum profit.

This strategy seems to be the best “middle ground” strategy to use in roulette. It is sort of a mix between many other systems because you are increasing your bet 300% of your first bet, or 150% of your profits. Then after you win that, you actually decrease your bet by 50%, thus saving a  lot of profits from being lost. Then your final bet gets increased by 300% again for a big win.

Basically the benefits of winning through the entire cycle is a 12 chip profit. For example, if you were wagering $10 at the start, you would have $120 profit if you won only 4 spins in a row, which can happen frequently. If you were to lose on the last big bet of 6 chips, you would have a net loss of $20 rather than $60 because of all the other profits you built up. Once you did win $120, you would then start over again with a $10 and try to complete the cycle again for an additional $120 profit. So if you were a high roller making a wager of $500, you could easily win $6000 a pop after each 4 win cycle. This is how the profits get big  money really quickly and it’s amazing how one could make a 1200% return on investment in such a short 4 win cycle.

Again, the key here is to make wagers on outside bets or the ones with nearly 50/50 odds or 1:1 payouts. The system depends on winning streaks, but fortunately the streaks do not have to be very long. This system greatly benefits players in the short term and it really just depends on your luck and how the game is moving along during a particular night. 1-3-2-6 is also an easy set of numbers to recall, so you can always remember this strategy if you are playing online or at the casino.

I talked about the Parlay system yesterday and how the Paroli strategy is just a variation of the Parlay. The Paroli system can be used in roulette and just about any other gambling game. Again, this is a positive progression system where you increase your bet sizes as you win and lower them as you lose. This system benefits more often when there are winning streaks over consecutive spins of the wheel.

Now the part that makes the Paroli roulette system different than Parlay is the fact that you are now betting 100% of your profits after each win. If you think about it, this complete all-in double down of your bet is actually risky. You also need to come up with a stop point to your bet or you are always going to lose and I’ll explain why.

Let’s say you bet $10 again at your first spin of the roulette wheel. If you win, your next bet would be $20. If you win this bet as well, you would have a net profit of $30 from your original $10 bet. If you lose, you would have a net loss of $10. The problem and disadvantage of using this system is whenever you lose the game, you will always end up losing all of your profits plus your original bet. This is because you are going double or nothing on all of your bets. In the end, you can never win if you keep on betting because the house has the advantage in the long term.

So the strategy here is to make a mental note or condition that you will accept your profits and reset your betting system after say 4 or 5 wins in a row. That way you can keep the profits and then start over at the bottom of the ladder. For example, if your original bet was $10 and you used the Paroli system over a 5 win streak, your net profits would be $310! If you were to continue, your next bet would be a staggering $320 and you would be risking all of your profits plus your original bet. If you were to win 6 bets in a row, you would have a $630 profit, but it gets riskier since all winning streaks will come to an end at some point and you want to get out before then.

Most importantly: Use the Parlay, Paroli and any of these other free roulette betting systems on wagers with the best odds! That means outside bets like red/black, or odd/even. Basically bets with nearly 50/50 or 1:1 payout odds. All of these systems would be very costly and would not work well when betting on single numbers or wagering on inside bets since you will lose much more often than you will win, even though the payouts are higher. This would defeat the whole purpose of these systems.

I talked about the Parlay system awhile ago and how I used this as a bet management strategy. This system is free to use and it’s just a fundamental pattern of betting really. Parlay uses properties that are much safer than the Martingale system and they can be used in just about any other type of casino game, including roulette.

The Parlay strategy uses positive progression, which means that you increase the size of your bets as you win and decrease your bets as you lose. This is sometimes known as the pyramid system because each time you win, your next bet will be the same as your original wager plus an additional part of your profit.

There are actually variations of the Parlay betting system, which can also be used in roulette. For example, the Paroli system is one of the most extreme systems where you bet all of your profits on each bet after consecutive wins and I will talk about this in tomorrows blog post. The Parlay is just a general pattern of using parts of your profits on each bet. By that, I mean you can increase your bets by 25%, 50% or even 100%.

A good way to use this strategy is to use an even number sized bet, such as $2, $10 or $100, something that is easy to work with in ratios. For example, if you bet $10 and win, the next bet could be $15 if you wish to wager 50% of your profits, or $20 if you wish to use 100% of your profits (the Paroli method). If you lose, you automatically start off betting the minimum or original bet of $10 and work your way up the ladder once more.

The key to success when using the Parlay system is to get long streaks of wins. As long as their are equally sized winning and losing streaks, you are guaranteed to come out ahead because you will lose less money when you lose the wager, and win more money when you win the game because you are increasing your bets as you win more often. If there are scattered wins and losses, this strategy doesn’t work too well. It all just depends on luck and how your game is going.
