In this sense, it is one of the easiest strategies to follow and the player will simply place the same chips on the same bet each time continuously.
Betting on Numbers with Masse Égale
There are a good many different systems that can be applied to the game of roulette which involve favoring the most exterior bets. These are 1- 18 / 19-36, evens/odd or reds/ blacks. The most common strategies used are the D’Alembert Paroli and Martingale betting strategies.
The Masse Égale is a strategy without progression, therefore it only really makes sense to use this when betting on the interior bets. These could be the Street (three number arranged in a single straight line), the Split (two numbers that are vertically or horizontally adjacent) a Strait (a single number) and a few others.
Why is this a poor strategy for the outsider bets?
Because the player is hoping for a higher value than the expected value, so they hope that the number they put their ash on will show up more frequently than is likely, which also means more often than the other numbers.
Even if they did win a few more times than expected on the outside bets, they would still only be collecting a small payout seeing as the payout is at 1:1.
This is why this system is most effective at gaining winnings at single numbers and inside bets and this makes it especially effective for the various online settings where roulette is offered.
How to Bet the Single Number
The most common way to play the Masse Égale strategy is with a single number. This is also a good way to begin learning about this system. There is always a chance that the number you have selected will appear in the one rotation. But many time the probability can be overestimated by experienced players and the losing streak on the single number can become long.
If you want to look at the game mathematically, you will need to look at the probabilities involved. You have 36:37 chance of losing because there are 36 numbers and a zero field. So, what are your chances that you will lose on the whole rotation, that is 37 rounds?
Answer – (36/37)37 = 0,362 → 36%
So, the chances that your number will not come up through the rotation is 36%. So, you can expect to lose one out of every three plays. If you were to increase the amount rounds to say 50, you will see your chances of your number not coming up at all diminish to 25% or one in four plays. Of course, you will have to consider the strength of your bankroll to shoulder this high expense.
