This system is for the slightly more experienced roulette player or for someone who wants to get into some decent action fairly quickly. This system has you betting on one of the “50/50″ bets such as Red/Black, Even/Odd or 1st 18/2nd 18. Most experienced Roulette players prefer these bets in our experience.
The Labouchere Roulette System is a `line` system, meaning you use a pencil and paper to track whats been happening and you adjust your betting according to a sequence of numbers that you adjust as you go along.
It’s best we feel to start off with a simple line, so we would always recommend;
1 2 3 4
No more, no less. Each number on the line represents the multiple of your level stake. Eg if you are betting at $1 a stake/point then they are obviously;
$1 $2 $3 $4
Ok, so now we have established the line, we are ready to make a bet. You decide how much to stake by adding together the first and the last number.
So in our case, the first bet is for a total of $5 ($4 + $1). Then stake that on your chosen area eg “Red”.
If your bet loses -
You add the bet size to the end of your original line. So it would now look like “1 2 3 4 5″. Your next bet would then be $6 as you always keep taking the first and last number for your current bet. So it’s currently 5 + 1.
When your bet wins –
You cross off the numbers you had played from the line. We had played the 1 and 4 originally for example, so now that line is just ” 2 3 “. Our next bet is the first and last number as always, so the next stake should be (2 +3) $5.
When you have NO numbers left you have completed the system, it’s time to start over with a new series of numbers.
The thinking behind this system is that you create a clear stop/reset moment where you can then assess if you want to walk away in profit or keep playing. It also has a fairly calm progressive element, where stakes are increased as you lose so that on the next win you grab back much of your losses. This weighting on the bets helps to return your losses quicker and pull you back to increased profitability. Due to the progressive element then, like all advanced systems, you need to ensure you have a good sized bankroll and sensible sized stakes as your `point`. If in doubt, start with 1 point = $1.
When you complete a line you will WIN the total of your original line – so for 1 2 3 4 you will be up a guarunteed TEN points when the sequence is completed.
You can modify this system to your needs by increasing the original starting line of numbers (more numbers or just higer humbers) or by placing higher level stakes as your unit (eg 1 = $5). If you want to make the system safer use a line of numbers such as ” 1 1 1 2 2 2″ etc
A further example of the system in action;
Line is – 1 2 3 4 , you then stake 5 but lose so,
Line is – 1 2 3 4 5 , you then stake 6 but lose so,
Line is – 1 2 3 4 5 6 , you then stake 7 and win so,
Line is – 2 3 4 5 , you then stake 7 and win so,
Line is – 3 4 , you then stake 7 but lose so,
Line is – 3 4 7 , you then stake 10 and win so,
Line is – 4 , you then stake 4 but lose so,
Line is – 4 4 , you then stake 8 and win so,
Line is cleared after 4 wins and 4 losses and you are in profit by 10 points. Restart the system.
