Fibonacci System


Here we discuss a roulette system based on a famous mathmatical sequence: the Fibonacci. In a Fibonacci sequence you have a progression of numbers in which every number is the sum of the preceding 2.

Say for example we begin our Fibonnaci sequence with 2. The progression would go:

2 2 4 6 10 16 26

When using this sequence in roulette, you use the sequence to determine your betting level in a progression: so, in order to try and set off any losses on the roulette table, your bet should be the sum of your previous two bets in a losing scenario. If you win, just skip back to the start of the sequence.

The advantage of the Fibonacci over other progression systems such as The Martingale is that it the betting is slower to ramp up and thus your exposure stays lower. The disadvantage is that you are not going to recoup 100% of your losses, you are merely clawing back a % of the loss, so you are banking that you will hit more winning streaks than losing streaks.

Again, we must stress that this system is not going to affect your overall odds at the table, it will merely help you to play more mechanically. Make sure you set a limit to the amount of times you can afford to lose in a row (always map out the worst case scenario and the best case scenario. It is likely that you will fall somewhere in the middle).

In any case, just as with the Martingale, you are going to hit a point where you are unable to continue the progression due to the table limits if you hit a really bad losing streak. Set your initial numbers in the progression low if you want to keep your risk relatively modest.

Reverse Fibonacci.

 

Most systems have a polar opposite, and the Fibonnaci is no exception. In the Reverse Fibonacci, you ramp up your bets following a win, in the hope of riding your luck and accelerating winnings on a winning streak. At some point you have to bale out, so make sure you have a plan to take profits and start again at the beginning of the sequence after say 3 wins in a row or something. It is ALWAYS better to have a plan and stick to it, rather than make ad hoc decisions as you go. You are more likely to get suckered in to the "just one more bet" scenario if you take this approach. Play methodically.
