Breakeven in Roulette

[Sunz of Beaches]

Is there a breakeven strategy in roulette where we cover most if not all numbers? Do casinos even allow this?

Given the house edge, it seems like this would always be a losing proposition (you would be betting more than you win).

You can’t beat roulette long-term by “covering most numbers” or by doubling after a loss (Martingale). You can delay losing streaks and make lots of tiny wins, but the casino’s zeroes and the table limits mean the strategy has a negative expected value and a finite probability of a catastrophic loss.
That's why we are all playing poker.

Casinos will allow any bet spread for the simple reason that for now there’s no proven method that can beat the house edge. Even when they ban card counters in blackjack, they still let them play roulette because they know it’s basically unbeatable.

The only “winning” method is if you got an insane amount of money and just keep doubling your bet every hand. Like, bet $1 and lose, then bet another $1 and lose, then $2, then $4, and so on until it’s huge amounts. Math wise, at some point red or black has to come.

And if it doesn’t… I’d switch casinos, cause there’s probably something sketchy with that wheel lol.

Don't do this if you value your bankroll and sanity. You will inevitably get runs that will break your bankroll no matter how much money you have.

Too many unknowns... a game for the lucky ones...)

There is no such strategy.
Roulette is a game that allows you to test your luck, and the main thing here is that if you are lucky, you just need to take your money and leave.

Nope, despite all the roulette strategy guides there is no real way to be a consistent winner.

The more zeros, the less heros.

I wish there was a strategy to win - but it is luck. However, some are way luckier than others lol. Almost every time I play with Angel she wins - no idea how that happens.

Well I'm sure they'd allow it but it would be expensive with no real return,

you can kinda break even with red or black or odd or even but again no real return,

....people like to cover the corners cuz it covers several numbers but I think it just comes down to luck👍

Well there are betting limits in every Casino so you can't just double your bet until Infinity. I wonder what those limits are though.

I think the only strategy that can bring you income is the strategy of “Stop in time and go home.” At least, this strategy has allowed me to save my winnings on numerous occasions.

I'm pretty sure that neither you nor I will ever even come close to those limits lol. Some people bet millions per hand at high-roller tables

Do you know that for sure? I somehow doubt any casino would allow that. Maybe thousands and up to a hundred thousand.

Casinos in Macao have insane limits, and billionaires gamble there. If we talk about the USA, you should check Dana White’s videos — he often gambles $400–500k per hand at blackjack and even got banned from the Palms for winning too much, which he got revenge for by moving every future UFC show from there to other locations.

Wow. Degenerate gambling really has the sky for limits.

The sky is not the limit… the limit is how much money you got or how much you can borrow to feed an addiction that’s oxycodonesc

I don't see anything but luck, luck, and more luck. lol

The odds are for the house. Well, I have very little experience with roulette, but honestly, since this is a tendency for the house to win.
