Roulette System – Betting Patterns

Roulette System

Although there is no mathematical system for beating the wheel, many players like to employ a set betting system when they play Roulette. Instead of randomly putting chips all over the layout they prefer to put chips on multiple numbers. This is done in conjunction with putting a straight bet on a single number with the aim of realizing small wins while allowing the bettor to play longer.  Two of the best known systems are the Double Street Quad System and the Five Card System.

Double Street Quad System

In this roulette system, bettors use a double street pattern while placing their bets. The pattern is as the name suggests – a double street along with a corner or “quad” bet and one straight up number. With this strategy, the odds of winning are higher since some seventeen numbers can be covered on the layout. Plus at least five adjacent slots on the wheel will be covered by the pattern. The payoff can be as much as 35 to 1 (for the straight up number) or as low as 5 to 1 (for the double street.)

Five Quad Strategy

In this system, bettors place bets on a single straight up number of their choice as well as making five corner or “quad” bets. Using this pattern some 21 out of a possible 38 numbers are covered on one bet. The payoff is the same as in the Double Quad System.

Although some players swear by using certain systems, roulette is, after all, a game of chance. As such, it is doubtful whether there is a tried and tested system that guarantees a win every time. Indeed, the two quad systems described here do not guarantee huge payoffs but merely extend the amount of playing time that bettors enjoy while providing small profits on each winning spin.

Betting Systems and Money Management

In addition to these types of betting systems or pattern, some players suggest that bettors should employ certain strategies to enhance their chances of winning. These include, for example, the martingale Method. Using the Martingale, bettors make a bet and if they lose they double their bet. If they lose again they double their bet. Bettors keep doing this until they win and when they do, they return to their original bet. While some bettors swear by the use of such systems, others argue that there is no such thing as a guarantee  in any game of chance. For them believing in a “sure thing” in the context of a game such as roulette is to engage in “the gambler’s fallacy”: if a number has not come up for a long time, it is surely due to happen. Whatever system or betting pattern players might choose, they should also make sure they are managing their money and staying within their limits. Doing so will guarantee enjoyment at the roulette wheel.
