Curious about betting systems? Keep on reading to find out more about them. It’s a fact that although it is an exciting pastime, the ultimate goal of online gambling is to win money.
Players spend years perfecting their strategies, trying new ways to beat the house and outsmart game developers. This effort is responsible for the many betting systems that exist today. Unlike gaming strategies, which are subjective, betting systems describe specific steps taken in a particular progression expected to produce a win.
Here is a review of 4 popular betting systems you can try on your next game
1. The Martingale System
If a player on the Betway casino is using a gambling system, chances are it is the Martingale System. The Martingale system is the most popular, oldest betting system and easiest to follow. The trick is to double your previous bet after every loss and start over after every win.
So, if you place an initial $5-dollar bet and lose, your next bet should be $10, then $20, then $40 and so on. If you win, your next bet should be similar to the initial bet, in this case, $5. Any win with the Martingale System restores all your previous losses plus your initial bet. You stop when you hit your limit or run out of money.
2. The Reverse Martingale/ Paroli System
Also called the Reverse Martingale, the Paroli System is very similar to the Martingale System. However, instead of doubling your bet each time you lose, you double your wager after every win.
The Paroli system is designed to help you capitalize on a winning streak when one appears and win more money before you start losing. For example, if you bet $5 on your first wager and win, you wager $10 on the next and $20 on the next and keep doubling as long as you are winning. Because of the nature of poker, the Paroli System is highly volatile and big wins can be followed by many losses.
3. The D’Alembert System
Considered the less aggressive cousin of the Martingale System, the D’Alembert System also requires you to increase your stake when you lose and decrease it when you win. However, you don’t double your bet or revert to the initial; you raise or lower your bet by a flat amount equal to the first bet.
For instance, if you bet $5 and lose, you next bet $10, then $15 and so on until you win. If you win, you reduce your bet by $5.
4. The Labouchere System
The first step in the Labouchere System is to set a goal for the amount you want to win, such as $110. You then divide this amount into several numbers that add up to it, such as $10, $20, $30, and $50.
Your first bet becomes the sum of the first and last amounts on the list, in this case $60 ($10 + $50). If you win this bet, you cross both amounts ($10 and $50) off the list and play again. If you lose, you add the amount you lost to the bottom of the list.
Wrapping Up: Don’t Back Everything on a Betting System
It is important to note that the games on popular casino sites like Betway are primarily based on luck. A good strategy and gambling system can improve your chances of winning, but remember to use your judgment.
Don’t chase a win, especially if you have several losses and never exceed your betting limit. Also, always consider the house edge when choosing a gambling system.
