One of the oldest and still in-demand roulette strategies is Double or "Double". It is considered both quite risky and profitable. Therefore, it will allow you to feel the excitement, and if you are lucky - to get good money. In addition, the strategy does not require complex mathematical calculations and is quite simple even for beginners.
How the "double" strategy works
To start, you will need a capital of 100-150 bets. If you are going to bet one conventional unit (for example, euro or dollar), then accordingly 100-150 dollars or euros. "Double" means "exactly what it says on the package" because it works like this:
- You make two different bets each time you run. The first is on specific numbers, such as a dozen or a line. The second is on the pairing, the value of the numbers, or at least the color.
- Next, the following principle works. The second bet is twice the size of the first. For example, you bet 1 dollar on a six-line. Then you should bet twice as much on the color.
- Instead of a six-line, there can be a dozen or other betting options. These usually decrease in value as the range increases.
A bet can produce several results. The best one is hitting both the dozen (or six-line) and the color. You get at once 4 dollars of profit from the minimum bet. What is the probability of such a hit? About 17% when betting on a dozen and a color.

The second option - hit only the color or a dozen. In this case, you do not win, but you do not lose. You are left with a zero result. The probability is 33%. There is a third option "total failure".
It means that you guessed neither the color nor the dozen. You lose three chips. However, the chance is not so great - also about 17%. You just repeat the bet, because on a short distance, the probability of still guessing and winning will increase.
How profitable is the "Double" strategy?
It works on the principle of Gauss distribution. The greatest chance, of course, is that you either win one chip, or stay "on your own" - not lose, but not win. The chance of losing everything is small. It is equal to the chance to win twice as much as you bet.There is always a risk.
The "Double" strategy can not be called the safest. But also excessively risky - too. Therefore, it is popular, especially on short distances, when the chance of winning increases.
