This is more of a suggestion, and less of a guide.

Remember: They call it Gambling for a reason and some of you dumb dumbs are gonna lose.

RULE NUMBER 1
STAY CONSISTENT - Pick a pattern, and do not deviate from it. <--------
I personally start every game I play, rather than join. I do not do the 2X Shot or 3X shot feature. It adds variances that will change the odds.

If you start with 1M, and lose - Bet Double. If you lose again, double it again. When you win. Bank the 1M NET that you won. Trust the numbers, sometimes it gets a little intense. Every win, you should bank the money you win and start over again at betting 1M, or whatever your increment is.

REMEMBER TO BUDGET YOURSELF ENOUGH ROUNDS - Meaning you want to have enough money in the bank to keep going. If you go too far, and haven't budgeted enough money then you could wind up in trouble. Suggested Safe recommended amounts of money on hand in charts below.

NOTE: These are face-value statistics and losing more does not necessarily give you a more than 50/50% likelyhood of winning the round you are in. 

Here are some charts to help. I hope this help! Best of Luck!
I'd love to hear some additional info if you have it to offer, otherwise - Don't lose. If you do, I don't wanna hear about it.

The odds are the same as straight gambling unfortunately because while you’ll win 1m a lot you’ll eventually lose big once.

If you don’t lose big for a while with that 0.39% chance then it can be profitable but that 1 big loss can lose all winnings

Not my worst streak, just my last 10 games.




The Gamblers Fallacy: the mistaken belief that, if something happens more frequently than normal during a given period, it will happen less frequently in the future (or vice versa).

my w:l ratio in a little over 500 games is 4:5 exactly. It should eventually average out to 1:1 but it’s not true randomness, it deviates from an algorithm.

All I was saying was losing a few games in a row does not increase your chances of winning, which is something I feel like you should mention that in your guide. If making money gambling was easy then more people would do it.

This won't work in the long run. Eventually you'll hit a 8+ loss streak (happens a lot more than you think) and everything you've 'earned' over the weeks/months using this 'strategy' will be gone.

At the end of the day, you stick to this strategy, you will lose everything. I have seen people come up with these strategies over and over again. They tell everyone how much the strategy works and within a few months, they're bankrupt and they've quit Torn.

To be clear, gambling is not a steady or reliable source of income. You can only find something that works well, for what it is.
It IS still gambling, but I have yet to see something better still.

Get in, make money if you can, then get out with the cash you have if you can. I agree

This is a good guide/ methodology. Thanks for Sharing Baronv0ndude.

Hope to see some new faces in RR :)

I used something similar to this in blackjack...  But instead of x2... I'll use x2.25... so you'll profit a lil more when u win... And not just barely break even.

There's a problem with the statistics of loss percentages. This is called the gambler's fallacy and you're putting math to it. On the 5th time, you do NOT have a 96.87% chance of winning. You have the same 50% chance of winning.

Every time is still 50% because each roll or coin flip, or in this case, roulette game is still a 50% chance to win or lose. This is because you can't look at how many times you've lost in the past. Each time is an independent event with the same odds as the first time. The prior events don't affect the next event whatsoever.

There's nothing to say that you can't lose 20 in a row. Long strings of the same result happen all of the time in regular roulette and they eat up and swallow martingale players. And all for a measley return of the initial bet to risk several times that.
