Despite what any website tells you there is definitely, positively no way to guarantee winning at roulette other than owning a casino. All the systems sound plausible, taking little snippets of mathematical theory to prove their points whilst ignoring the facts that disprove them.
However I always think some of these systems are maligned a little too much and I'll tell you why. Certainly Martingale isn't going to make you rich but in some ways it will stop you playing roulette like an idiot. Have you ever like me sat at a roulette table either virtual or real and watched people shower the table with random chips. In many cases they are betting against themselves and minimizing their chances of winning.
Following a system will not ensure you leave the casino with a big grin and a bigger pile of cash. But it doesn't mean you won't either. Following a system does enforce some discipline and protect against those stupid wild, chip tossing bets that make no sense whatsoever.
The two main problems I have with the majority of roulette systems is that firstly they often make the game a little dull. Rigidly following something like Oscars Grind can make the most exciting game rather dreary. But the biggest problem is that they change the expectation of the player. You should never play at a casino with the attitude that you can't lose, because you can and if you think you can't you'll lose even more.
In a perfect world you actually couldn't lose using Martingale for instance, but in the real world you'll be stopped by the house limit or decide not to place a 30000 dollar bet to make an overall profit of 5 dollars. The real world is where we do our gambling and that is ultimately the problem with Martingale and the majority of the systems.
