The simulator shows how often the table limit or bankroll says no.

Roulette Strategy Comparison + Bankroll Drain Simulator
The wheel has no memory. Your bankroll does.
Compare flat betting, Martingale, Fibonacci, and D’Alembert with the same wheel, bankroll, and spin count. Watch progressions change stress, not the edge.
Progressions make individual spins carry more bankroll risk.

Simulation settings
Important interpretation note
These systems only alter bet sizing patterns. They do not bribe the wheel, rewrite payouts, or erase the zero pockets.
- Flat: simplest and most stable stake size.
- Martingale: high recovery attempts, high crash potential.
- Fibonacci: slower progression, still escalating exposure.
- D’Alembert: gradual adjustment, still negative EV.
Bottom line: all remain negative EV in standard roulette. Variance just changes the costume.

One possible ride
Bankroll drain simulator (single-session log)
This produces one random session per strategy so you can watch a progression negotiate with a finite bankroll and lose leverage.
Beginner strategy takeaway
Roulette systems shape the ride; they do not create an edge. They can make short runs feel clever while expected value keeps its boots on the table.
- Use small base bets if you want slower bankroll decay.
- Avoid chase behavior after losses.
- Set strict session stop-loss and stop-win limits before starting.

Quick answers
Roulette strategy FAQ
Can any progression system remove house edge?
No. Progression systems only change stake sizing. The house edge comes from wheel structure and payout schedule.
Why compare strategies if all are negative EV?
Because variance and bust risk still matter for session planning. This helps players understand risk before wagering.
Should I treat this as gambling advice?
No. This is educational simulation content. It does not provide financial, legal, or gambling advice.
Can any roulette strategy beat the house edge?
No. Roulette strategies can change bet sizing, volatility, and bankroll pressure, but they do not remove the wheel's built-in house edge.
Why does Martingale feel safer than it is?
Martingale often produces many small recoveries before one long losing streak demands a bet larger than your bankroll or table limit can handle.

Myth vs Math
Progressions are entertaining stress tests, not secret exits.
Myth: “I only need one win to recover.”
Math: The required bet size can grow faster than your bankroll or table limit.
Myth: “Flat betting is boring, so it must be worse.”
Math: Flat betting often lowers volatility even though expected value remains negative.
