Betting Strategies
All strategiesMartingale
Double your bet after each loss to recover everything with a single win. Simple, but requires a large bankroll and steady nerves.
Fibonacci
Follow the Fibonacci sequence for bet sizing. Slower progression than Martingale, lower variance, longer survival.
Paroli
Positive progression — double after wins, never after losses. Preserves bankroll and rides hot streaks.
Labouchère
Write a number sequence. Bet the sum of first and last. Cross off on a win. Complex, controlled, and a favourite among experienced players.
