For centuries, casual bettors and hardcore gamblers have been attempting to build betting systems and strategies that can beat the house. Ever since roulette took Europe by storm<\/a>, it\u2019s been a prime candidate for strategies. Eventually, so too did blackjack<\/a>, with systems being preferred to strategies for those who didn\u2019t fancy doing the stacks of reading.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A common name circling betting strategies of the modern online casino<\/a> scene is the Martingale. However, when this fails, some turn to the more glamorously-named Grand Martingale. As is often the case, it\u2019s promised to be a proven method of bringing in returns. So, let\u2019s explore if the Grand Martingale betting system works.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Grand Martingale betting system is a method of increasing your wager to recover from losses. You play the same bet each time on evens returns options until you lose. Then, you double the wage and add one unit to the bet. If that loses, it\u2019s double again with another single unit added. This continues until you win.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of the three Martingale betting systems<\/a> that can be applied to games like roulette and blackjack, the Grand Martingale is by far the riskiest. It aims to build on the Martingale method<\/a> by not just returning wagers after a losing streak, but also adding a pocket of wins \u2013 which comes from the single additional added unit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here\u2019s how the Grand Martingale betting system can play out:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p><\/ul>\n <\/p>\n As you can see, the aim is to recuperate losses and pocket a win at the same time. This increases the wager each time more so than any other Martingale strategy. It\u2019s easily the most taxing on your bankroll and is the fastest to hitting bet size caps.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The thinking behind the Grand Martingale betting system is that eventually, a losing streak will end, which is true, in theory. On bets like red or black on roulette, you have a 48.6 per cent chance to be correct on any given spin. So, the Grand Martingale betting system can work as long as you continue betting until you win.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Grand Martingale betting system can fail if you reach your bankroll limit or the wager limit of the table. Starting with a higher base wager, you\u2019ll have fewer attempts to break the losing streak. As each loss double the wager and adds another unit, you can very quickly approach the wager ceiling, which would end your run.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Grand Martingale betting system doesn\u2019t work because there\u2019s a cap at every table, and everyone should play within their means. Many online casino tables have a maximum wager of around \u00a3500, while even the VIP tables or high-roller games will cap out at \u00a31,000 or \u00a35,000. These may seem like unreachable numbers, but with the Grand Martingale, even starting with a \u00a35 wager will surpass \u00a31,000 after eight consecutive losses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While the standard Martingale betting system doesn\u2019t work either, it at least gives more chances for a very large bankroll to potentially turn in the win needed to break even. With the Grand Martingale method, because of the additional wager of a single unit, it\u2019s exponentially riskier. It puts more money on the line with fewer chances for those wagers to turn in a win.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Even when you bet on the likes of evens returns roulette places, each round has a 51.4 per cent probability of producing a loss. As such, in each round, it\u2019s more likely that you\u2019ll lose. Even in a pure 50:50 chance game, it\u2019s still possible to go on a long losing streak, even if you stick with the exact same bet of two options. At a \u00a31 base bet, you\u2019ll need to make a wager of \u00a363 after your fifth loss, amounting to \u00a3119 in lost bets.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In fact, it\u2019s slightly more probable for a losing streak to occur than a winning streak \u2013 not that a winning streak matters for the Grand Martingale betting system. The probability of four wins occurring in a row on a red or black bet on European roulette is 6.08 per cent. The probability of four consecutive losses on that same bet is 6.4 per cent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The best betting strategy to use in online casino gaming is to set a limit on your bankroll and don\u2019t exceed it at all. As the aim of playing casino games is to have fun and win money, be sure to put any of your winnings to one side, and once your set bankroll is done, finish gambling.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s important to remember to never fall into the trap of the Gambler\u2019s Fallacy<\/a>, with which you believe that an outcome will arrive because it hasn\u2019t for a series of turns. This is the kind of mindset that fuels a strategy like the Grand Martingale and can result in huge losses. So, it\u2019s best to avoid any strategy that could see you bet at increasing risk on an increasingly less probable outcome at the end of a series.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The best way to enjoy online casino games or any other form of gambling is to only play for fun and to only bet within your limits.
