Almost everyone plays to win. Not surprisingly, there are more gambling systems available that have been devised to beat the wheel of roulette than any other casino game. Surprisingly, roulette, unlike other casino games, is the most likely game NOT to be beaten by any foreseeable strategy or prediction. A system can in some instances give one an edge. However, systematically, if you play by this, it is not going to bring you to riches as many systems for roulette may promise. Besides, far be it for a casino to sit back and watch someone take too much of their money and do nothing at all about it.

A primary objective of roulette should be to aim at staying ahead, even if by a small margin. This is actually a great achievement and a very realistic goal. High Rollers tend to play larger minimum tables, take bigger risks, and are awarded larger payouts when they win. However, when they lose, they also lose bigger.

Because roulette is a game of chance, using a system does not afford anyone a guarantee of winning. A properly and skillfully designed system, however, may assist in streamlining your losses and to help you control your winnings. This will give you a better opportunity of walking away a winner rather than a loser.

A true winning system for roulette is one that will allow you to win overall and keep you ahead at all times. Failed and flawed strategies may get you to win most of the time but lose out overall. These are NOT winning systems.

Roulette has consistently proven to be a game that relies on sequential or conditional probability. It also has an infamous consistency failure rate. This is because; roulette in theory is not a game of probability.

Each spin is new and the outcome can never be determined by prior spins. The probability for a possible outcome is the same for EACH successive spin. Therefore, no probability advantage can be determined or generated; despite how often people continue to try to disprove this. To test this let's ask the question: "Which outcome has a higher probability after eight successive Blacks, Black again or Red?" The probable answer is Red. Yet this is wrong. Even after the 8 successive blacks, a black is still just as probable, or likely, to come up as a red. There is no magic memory on the roulette table and this is a concept many gamblers ponder and find difficult to believe. It has been around for years and will probably still be around for years to come. This common myth is called the gambler's fallacy. One key concept to remember is that the law of unequal distribution is on your side.
