ATM Roulette Strategy

Steps and stopping boundary

A miss advances to the next pair, while a win returns to 3/2. No next action is stated after a fourth miss, so a run should stop there rather than assume a fifth pair. This analysis uses a single-zerowheelZeroThe single green pocket that no even-money, dozen or column bet covers; the source of the house edge.

Per-spin outcomes

The final pair is especially important because a covered third-dozen result does not profit.

Worked example

After two opening misses, losses total 5 + 15 = 20 and the active pair is 33/22. A low hit earns 11 on that spin, so the cycle is still −9. At the fourth pair, a third-dozen hit returns 108 gross from the 36-unitmoneyUnitThe base stake a system or a player works in.
