Roulette remains a game of chance, sha, but structured approaches can guide your play. Below are five popular winning strategies. Remember, none can override the house edge, so manage your risk.
Martingale System
Double your stake after each loss on even-money bets to recoup losses plus a small profit when you win. For example, starting at ZWL 100 (~USD 0.31), a single win resets the cycle. Keep in mind table limits and the need for a sizeable bankroll in ZWL terms. The Martingale System structures your play but doesn’t change the odds.
Fibonacci System
Follow the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, …) when betting. After a loss, move one step forward; after a win, move two steps back. This gradual stake adjustment can smooth out losing streaks. However, it won’t guarantee profits, so watch your total ZWL outlay.
D’Alembert System
Increase your stake by one unit after a loss and decrease by one after a win on even-money bets. Its incremental changes can feel safer and help stabilise your bankroll. Yet, long losing runs remain costly.
Labouchere Strategy
Set a desired profit sequence, such as [10 – 20 – 30]. Bet the sum of the first and last numbers (40 ZWL). If you win, cross those numbers off; if you lose, add your bet to the end. Repeat until the sequence clears. This methodical Labouchere Strategy provides structure but still risks high ZWL totals.
James Bond Strategy
Place ZWL 200 on numbers 19–36, ZWL 50 on 13–18, and ZWL 10 on zero. This covers over half the wheel and offers varied payouts. A zero hit pays 35:1, yielding ZWL 350 (≈USD 1.09). The James Bond Strategy suits players with larger ZWL funds who seek broader coverage.
