Betting Systems Part V - The Austrian
Time to drop some more knowledge on you about roulette betting systems. So far, we’ve talked about the Martingale, the D’Alembert, the Labouchere and the Pivot. This one is about the Austrian. No, it doesn’t involve getting a nice Austrian to place bets for you. Generally speaking, that wouldn’t affect your chances of winning.
In this system, the player’s goal is memorize the spots on the roulette table of where the chips will be placed. The strategy is to cover as many numbers as possible with the least amount of chips. You place 6 chips on the first column and 6 chips on the third column. For American Roulette, one additional chip is placed between each 0 and 00, 8 and 11, 17 and 20, and 26 and 29. This gives you a total of 16 chips wagered with a chance of hitting on 32 numbers.
Each time one of the 32 numbers with your chips hits, you are a winner on 2 of the chips bet. It claims a result of a winner in 85% of all bets, which is not true. According to mathematical rules, losing all 16 chips only has a 15% chance of occurring.
The problems with the Austrian are obvious. Long term, your return will not match your wagers and you will keep digging a hole of inevitable debt. Another problem is that, like many systems, it assumes you have an unlimited amount on your bankroll. The last false assumption is that there are no table limits. Instead of wasting your money trying betting systems, manage your bankroll wisely, make wagers with the best odds like even-chance bets and follow these tips for winning at roulette.
