Paroli Gambling System
How does the Paroli work?


The Paroli gambling system is a positive progression system, based on a similar idea to that of compound interest - it adds to winnings rather than taking from them. It doesn't seek to chase losses and only increases bets after a win.

The Paroli differs from many other gambling systems in that it isn't fixed. The gambler has to decide in advance the size of the betting unit and also how many bets are to be made before removing any winnings ie the maximum stake to be risked.

Winning streaks

When conditions favour consecutive winning results, the paroli system fares very well. It could be said that any gambling system will fare well in a winning streak, but three consecutive wins hardly constitutes a streak.

Like the 1-3-2-6 and 1-3-2-4, the Paroli system is not at its best when results are alternating - returning a loss even in an 'overall win' situation. But in the 'bad loss' test, it results in only a mild loss - much less than, say, the Martingale.




Low-risk system

For low-risk gamblers looking for consistent small wins without having to stake huge amounts, the Paroli is an attractive system.



Test it yourself- risk-free

If you're still unsure exactly how the Paroli gambling system works, before playing any of the Big Four, you may prefer to test it for free on the relatively simple 50/50 bets (Odd/Evens, Red/Black, 1-18, 19-36) in roulette. To this end, we are happy to provide the following link:

Three bets - doubled

Used extensively in roulette, the most popular form of the Paroli system is to bet three times and to double the stake after each win. If any bet loses, or all 3 bets win, the sequence restarts.
