Is using the Martingale System for Roulette online illegal?

Question

I've been using the martingale system in online roulette and it seems to work well. I was wondering if it is illegal to use on real games. I don't see how it could be because im just playing the odds. I'm not using any type of electronic device and just my brain. Anyone with any prior experience.

Answer 1

as far as i know it is not illegal, but the casino will have a max limit to combat martingale system users. plus you need a huge bankroll for this system to work. good luck by the way this is for real live gambling.

Answer 2

No system that involves using your brain is illegal.  Why would it be?

Of course casinos have the right to ask you to leave, so if they think you are so smart you can consistently beat the game, they may ask you to leave.

By the way, there is no long term system to beat roulette.  The house edge on American roulette is 5.26%, and no system is going to beat it long term.  If it were possible to consistently beat the game with a system they would have changed the rules or odds a long time ago.

Answer 3

The martingale system is a betting patern, it is in no way illegal.

The martingale system will not help you to win money in the long term, it will only manipulate the odds of a "net win" for a series of trials to be more frequent.  Eventually you WILL experience a tremendous loss due to increasing your bets exponentially and it will wipe out all of your winnings, and then some.  If you are currently winning money, i suggest you consider yourself, lucky and stick only to the minimum bets from here on out or stop playing all together.

Answer 4

I dont understand why you are scared its illegal. You can play in an online roulette just like you want, and yes, its legal.

Answer 5

No, but it should be!  Why?  Because it is the WORST system that you could ever use!  The Martingale is when you place a bet and double it every time you lose until you win...that is the theory.  Reality is that there are table limits at every casino that will not allow you to double your wager more than 5-7 times, and you can easily lose 10 times in a row.  So let's say you are at a table that the limits are $25-$1,000 and you begin your 'system' with $25 you lose then $50, $100, $200, $400, $800 and you lose.  Now you are in a spot, you cannot double your wager because table limits are $1000 so now what?!  Now you're down $1775.00 and you're out of chances.  Do you even want to risk thousands to try to win $25?  

Casinos absolutely love it when you play the Martingale, you'll probably get a 'free' room, but it will cost you thousands.

Answer 6

No strategy is going to be illegal anywhere with any speck of credibility. A smart casino welcomes Martingale users, because they know that before long they will have all your money.
