What is the most successful roulette strategy? While there is no strategy that can guarantee a profit in the long run when playing roulette, the Martingale betting system is often regarded as the most successful strategy. It is easy to use and can provide good returns.

In the game of roulette, betting on either 0 or 00 (if you are playing American roulette) pays out at 35/1. If you are playing American roulette and do a "row bet", this means that you are betting on either 0 or 00. If the ball falls on either 0 or 00, you will receive a 17/1 payout.

The 0  (single zero) and the 00  (double zero) are the green slots on the roulette wheel. These pockets could receive a 35:1 payout if hit straight up. If there's a split, the payout could be 17:1.
