Description of the Martingale system
- The game is carried out with rates on equal chance (payment 1 to 1) – red / black, even. But most often it is red and black.
- The game begins with a predetermined minimum rate.

The likelihood of one color in a row in roulette

We will proceed from the fact that in this gaming session, luck will be on our side and we will not encounter a series of more than 7 drops of one color in a row. With a minimum rate of $ 1, we need to have at least $ 64 on the account. If we join the game not every time, and skipping a loss of 2 or 3 or more times in a row of one color, we will significantly increase the stability of the system (some systems are built on this technique), but in this case we consider the classic option.
Put 1 $ on the red, fell "Zero" – Our bid did not play. Increase the bet – we put on red again, but now $ 2, it fell black, the rate did not play again. Our costs are in the amount of $ 3. We continue to put on the red, put $ 4, it fell black. Our costs amounted to $ 7. Play Next, on the system on the fourth back we put $ 8. Total we have already invested $ 15. Redes the red – our winnings amounted to $ 16, which completely overlaps our investments at $ 15 and brings profit at $ 1. Next, begin to play with the minimum bet.
