We’re not here to teach maths, however – we’re here to talk about the Fibonacci roulette betting system. It’s one of the safest roulette betting systems. It’s certainly safer than the Martingale system, but does it really work?
What’s the Fibonacci Sequence?
The mysterious sequence often appears in nature and is intimately connected to the golden ratio. The Fibonacci integer sequence rests on the idea that each number after the first two is a sum of the previous ones.
The integer originally evolved like this: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610.
Nowadays, the sequence commonly includes a 0 before the first number, but the other part of the sequence remains untouched. As the Fibonacci sequence appears in nature in everything from a snail’s shell to flower spirals, many people think that it’s the key to life itself. Many gamblers, on the other hand, think that the mysterious sequence can help them beat the roulette as nothing else can, so they use the Fibonacci betting system to increase their chances of winning.
Most don’t even know how the sequence goes, so they end up losing a lot of money. Even if used correctly, the system doesn’t really make you profitable – just because it appears in nature unexpectedly doesn’t mean it will unexpectedly bring you profits.
How Does the Fibonacci System Work?
The Fibonacci betting system is easy to apply to roulette if you know the sequence by heart. You can start at any point, although it’s obviously best to start at 1 since it’s safer to progress from the bottom way up.
- Once you’ve set your sights on a bet, bet $1. You lose, you follow the sequence, so you bet $1 again. Another loss, bet $3. Yet another loss, you bet $5. Follow the sequence until you win – let’s say you’ve come up to $34. At that point, players usually go a step down, but just to be safe, we suggest going down two steps.
- So, the next thing you need to do is bet $13. Back away two steps down after a win until you get to the very beginning of the sequence. This will eventually bring you some profit. You will still unquestionably lose more than a few spins, but you won’t lose much money. If you used Martingale and lost 5 or more times in a row like in this sequence, you would have been broke by now.
- Now you’re probably thinking that it’s a sure winner, but you’re also probably forgetting that this exact sequence might not play out in real life. Like all betting systems, the Fibonacci doesn’t guarantee wins, no matter how good a streak you’re riding. There’s just no way to predict if red or black numbers will win more frequently, which is a common problem with any roulette strategy.
