Optimal Roulette player strategy
Betfair's Zero Lounge Roulette is the only Roulette with no zero,
so no house edge. In other words, the odds are true odds.

In 'normal' Roulette, the casino has its advantage in the zero.
The payout on a single number is 35 to 1, but with a single zero
wheel, the odds against are actually 36 to 1 - there are 36
chances it won't come up, only 1 that it will.

Perfect for systems?

The 'true odds' nature of Zero Lounge Roulette should make things perfect for anyone wanting to use one of the many evens-chance gambling systems that we've tested. Imagine using the Martingale or the Fibonacci on a true evens chance Roulette - it would be like using it on a coin toss, you'd be guaranteed to win.

The system to beat Zero Lounge Roulette

Fortunately, there's still one system that we are able to use against Zero Lounge Roulette - the
1-3-2-4 system. Of all the systems we tested it was one of only 3 (along with the Paroli and
1-3-2-6) that showed an overall profit on all six of our tests, but for the reasons we discuss in our summary, it's the most stable and consistent.


The sequence of winning bets is  1, 3, 2, 4, 1

If you win all four bets, you go back to the start. If you lose any bet, you also go back to the start. So long as you're winning, you progress through this sequence.



Win - even when you lose!

You win big with the 1-3-2-4 when all four bets come up (a 1 in 16 chance) but as long as you win the first two bets (1 in 4), you're guaranteed to win, even if the next bet loses!

If your first bet loses, your loss is 1 unit.
If the second loses, your loss is 2 units (you'll have bet 4, won 2)

This is the 'danger point', but once you're past it, you literally can't lose.

If the third bet loses, you still make a
profit of 2 units, because you'll be 4 units up after bet 2.

If the third and fourth win, your overall
profit is 10 units.

But even if the fourth bet loses, you still come out with a
profit of 2 units.
An overall profit
What this table shows is that the 1-3-2-4 returns an overall profit over all six tests. Remember, these tests are designed to show real-life situations, not perfect conditions. It's highly likely that you could get a sequence of 72 results such as the six tests. If that happened, you're safe in the knowledge that the 1-3-2-4 system will turn you a profit.
How to beat Zero Lounge Roulette - summary

Betfair have deliberately made Zero Lounge Roulette difficult to beat. But you can still beat it!
Remember that Betfair have made a loss in 28 out of the 130 countries where Zero Roulette is available and that in Greece they paid out at a rate of 100.02%, losing £29,700.

We can't say for certain, but it's highly likely that those winning customers were using a system very similar to the one we've given you!

Unfortunately, Betfair are as aware of these
systems as we are, so they've set their table
limits very low on these bets (see table left)

What this means is that if you're using one of the doubling or progressive systems eg the Martingale or the Fibonacci, just four or five losing bets (this will happen quite often) will very quickly see you exceeding the table limits - and losing.
