Foundations

Start with the math, then the systems

Progressions change how wins and losses arrive. They do not delete zeros from the wheel. Compare European and American edges first.

BeginnerVery High risk

Martingale

Double after every loss on even-money bets — classic recovery chase.

Short sessions on even-money bets with a large bankroll cushionOpen
BeginnerMedium risk

Paroli

Press winners, not losers — ride short hot streaks on even money.

Players who want limited downside while trying to capitalize on short winning runsOpen
BeginnerMedium risk

D'Alembert

Add one unit after losses, subtract one after wins — smoother than doubling.

Even-money betting with milder stake swings than MartingaleOpen
IntermediateHigh risk

Fibonacci

Climb the famous sequence after losses; step back two numbers after wins.

Even-money players who want a structured middle ground between +1 steps and full doublingOpen
AdvancedHigh risk

Labouchère

Cross numbers off a list: bet the sum of the ends until the line clears.

Disciplined players who enjoy structured bookkeeping on even-money betsOpen
BeginnerMedium risk

James Bond

Cover high numbers, a six-line, and zero with a fixed multi-bet layout.

Players who want a memorable multi-bet pattern rather than a progressionOpen
BeginnerLow risk

Flat Betting

Same stake every spin — control variance, measure results honestly.

Educational play, bankroll tracking, and comparing strategies fairlyOpen
