There is absolutely nothing wrong with using betting systems on roulette as long as you understand how they work. If you want to play roulette then there are many systems that can offer you the potential for short term profits without running the risk of doubling up and hitting the maximums.

The French system, d’alembert is one such system and I will explain it to you here. It is what is known as a “pyramid system” and was named after a French mathematician. The basis of the system is that it is structured around equilibrium theory that d’alembert worked on more than two centuries ago. So by using this system, not only are you using a piece of history but this system also precludes you from having large losses. The gains are small also but this has merit with an awful lot of cautious roulette players.

This system mainly works on even chances. The system in itself is very simple and revolves around adding one unit to the bet if you lose and removing one unit of the bet if you win. The problem with the d’alembert tends not to be the table maximums but the table minimums as removing bets after wins can allow this to happen in that you can fall below the minimum. I am going to show you a sequnce of numbers here where the d’alembert  was operational.

The table minimum was $2 and the system player in this instance started with a $5 bet which was $3 above the minimum.

BET $5…….LOST……RESULT -$5……..BET $6…….LOST…….RESULT -$11…….BET $7……WON…….RESULT -$4……

BET $6…….LOST……RESULT -$10……BET $7……WON……RESULT -$3…….BET $6……WON……RESULT +$3

You can see here that after six spins with three losses and three wins that the system is up by $3.  This system works very well when the total number of wins is equal to the total number of losses. It also does better with single zero wheels over double zero wheels. If you want a system on roulette to help you stay not only entertained but which will also help you to work off these juicy sign up bonuses then the d’alembert is a classic system that will not only give you hours of pleasure but will also possibly provide you with profit.

Have fun
