Red Roulette

What are the roulette odds of the ball landing in the same colour ten times in a row? What about landing on the same number twice? Let’s take a look, and then we’ll explain how this relates to the Gambler’s Fallacy, or the Monte Carlo Fallacy- the belief that the odds of a black number coming in increase, the more times you see red.

Let’s look at a European Roulette wheel. Over a single spin, the odds of a red number coming up are 18/37, or 1 in 2.06. Over 2 spins, the odds of 2 reds coming in are 1 in 2.06×2.06, or 4.24.

The odds of seeing 10 reds in succession are 1 in (2.06) to the power of 10 = 1 in 1376.

Red/Black, Odd/Even, High/Low — these are even money bets. At the very beginning of the game, the probability that the ball will stop on a red or black section is 18/37, 0.486. The probability that the zero wins is 1/37, 0.027. If Black wins, then the Red winning odds are increased like 19/37 = 0.736.

Pretty low odds that you´ll ever see this, in other words. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen. In fact, the longest number of reds in a row was recorded in an American Casino in 1943 when 32 came up in a row. Now imagine that you were betting the Martingale that day! The odds of seeing that are 1 in 11 million, or thereabouts by the way.

Another huge streak (this time on black) was seen by the players at the Casino in Monte Carlo who saw 26 blacks in a row on the table on 18 August 1913. The odds of this happening? A mere 1 in 145,000.

And this gave name to the Monte Carlo Fallacy, otherwise known as the Gambler´s Fallacy, as the longer the streak went on, more and more people started piling their chips on to red. And they lost a lot of money.

So what happened?

Gambler’s Fallacy

The important thing to understand and to get your head around, is that these are odds over multiple spins. And here’s the thing. In roulette, you can’t bet on what is going to happen over 10 spins, you can only bet on the next spin. And thus the odds are always the same – 18/37, whether the red came in 10 times previously or not. The wheel has no memory from spin to spin. It is not a living thing.

Tip for Martingale Players

Martingale System Players are often susceptible to long runs as they double their bet after a loss. Start your first bet low if you employ this strategy to give yourself the most room for manouevre

See The Martingale Strategy

You are Betting on One Spin Not Multiple Spins
When you are betting on one spin, the odds are for one spin, and for one spin only.

One things for sure about the Gambler’s Falllacy- the casinos love it! Don’t get sucked in, keep your thinking hat on.

One thing’s for sure- there are plenty of people who have worked out that the odds are with the casino on roulette, and have opted to scam the casinos instead, like the roulette scam in Ohio. Just be warned- that’s illegal. They got busted.

FAQs Roulette Probabilities

What are the odds of seeing 10 reds in a row on a roulette wheel?
The odds of seeing 10 reds one after another are 1 in (2.06)¹⁰ = 1 in 1376. But remember, you cannot bet on 10 spins, only on a single spin. Here the odds are 1 in 2.06
What is the definition of the Gambler’s Fallacy in roulette?
The Gambler’s Fallacy is the incorrect belief that a certain event like flipping a coin or the ball landing on a black number is more or less likely, due to a previous sequence of events.
This is incorrect for mutually exclusive events because each event is independent with a result that has no relation to past events. Think about it this way. Is the wheel thinking after each spin, “I spun a red last spin. Let´s throw in a black to even things up.” No.

Red & Black System FAQ

For new players approaching the roulette table for the first time, the red and black systems roulette strategy is one of the most popular. With that said, there are actually several red and black systems to choose from. In this article, we’ll clear the murky waters and present a series of methods you can employ at the table. Some are more random than others in their logic. We’ll give our expert opinion throughout to help guide you in finding the most suitable option.

Red & Black Systems Roulette Odds

Let’s cut to the chase and explain the red and black systems roulette odds. A European roulette wheel has 18 red pockets, 18 black pockets and 1 green pocket. It’s the ‘unwanted’ green pocket that provides the casino with its advantage.

The chance of hitting a red pocket on any given spin is: 18 (number of red pockets) ÷ 37 (total number of pockets) x 100 = 48.64%. Given that there are exactly the same number of black pockets, the probability is identical. So, based on fact, there is an equal chance of it being red or black (if green, then it’s neither).

Of course, that does not mean every spin will be red, black, red, black and so on. You do get runs of consecutive colours. In fact, the longest recorded streak of one colour in roulette is 32 times. The colour was red and it happened at a casino in America in 1943.

Red & Black Systems Roulette System Review

There are a few approaches players use when using a red/black roulette system. However, it has to be said the most common is to simply pick either colour and bet on it until you hit a win. The thinking is that because the colours are alternated all the way around the wheel, you won’t hit too many long losing runs. This is why the red or black bet is preferred over the other even money wagers on the table.

For instance, with odd/even bets, the wheel has several clusters of two odds and two evens together. Also, there are sections of the wheel that group some of the highest numbers, and other parts with lower numbers. Therefore, in the player’s mind, red/black is the fairest bet to place on the table. In reality, it doesn’t matter. The odds are the same for each.

As mentioned, our red and black systems roulette system review highlighted that the normal approach is to use a negative or positive progression betting strategy. We’ve covered these separately in great detail in other articles but we will introduce them briefly here because of their heavy involvement with red and black systems.

For each of these, the strategy will be to bet on a single colour until we hit a winner. We then bet on that same colour again, before altering to the opposite colour. So, two winning bets on the same colour, then change. You can devise your own method if desired, this part is extremely flexible.

Martingale

Probably the most famous betting strategy. You double your bet when you lose a round and start from the beginning when you win. We will begin by betting on black (until hitting our win).

No. of spins	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11
Red / Black	R	R	R	B	B	R	B	R	R	B	R
Stake Amount	1	2	4	8	1	1	1	2	4	8	1
Win / Lose	L	L	L	W	W	W	L	L	L	W	L
Profit / Loss	-1	-3	-7	1	2	3	2	0	-4	4	3

The Martingale roulette strategy is deemed high risk. Even betting on red/black, you can (and will) hit long losing streaks and doubling up on wagers can soon get out of hand. You might hit the table limit or run out of cash. That said, on its good days, you can make some solid profits because every win puts you in profit by 1 betting unit.

For many players using a red and black roulette system strategy, the reverse Martingale is a favoured choice (between the two). This is a positive progression betting system which works the opposite way: you increase your wagers on winning rounds and decrease on losing bets.

D’Alembert

The D’Alembert roulette strategy is a much safer negative progression system. You only increase your bet by one unit each losing round and decrease by one unit when you win. Using exactly the same formula as described above for Martingale, these are the results:

No. of spins	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11
Red / Black	R	R	R	B	B	R	B	R	R	B	R
Stake Amount	1	2	3	4	3	2	1	2	3	4	3
Win / Lose	L	L	L	W	W	W	L	L	L	W	L
Profit / Loss	-1	-3	-6	-2	1	3	2	0	-3	1	-2

There is also a reverse D’Alembert available. Other well-known betting systems that can be used on red/black are Fibonacci, Reverse Fibonacci and Labouchere. It is also possible to flat bet, but this can be rather tedious in our experience - although one of the safer methods for protecting your bankroll.

Precognition approach

Some players swear by this approach. Precognition is essentially having foreknowledge of an event. So, when asked ‘Will the next colour be red or black?’, those who feel they have some psychic abilities, are confident of more accurately predicting the colour.

This method is definitely not suited for everyone. Having personally tried it without success, I know it’s not for me. However, your results might be different.

Red & Black Systems Roulette Success Stories

There are many red and black systems roulette success stories to be found under the specific betting systems articles.

Generally speaking, this is a beginner’s roulette strategy though. Its simplicity and flexibility make it a great introduction to roulette. If you have precognitive powers, then you may enjoy lots of success with it, otherwise, the system has the same flaws as all others.

In certain situations, the strategy is completely ineffective. In games like Quantum Roulette, you are unable to capitalise on the game's biggest mechanic.

Therefore, set yourself a win target and a stop loss and walk away at that point. Over your roulette career you are destined to lose more rounds than you win, so learn to quit while ahead when luck is on your side.
