For all your patience, you’ll be toying with a marginal 10% in estimated probability for player loss. This falls shy of the house edge that lingers about 5.3% – 5.6% in basic Roulette. In other words, you stand to cash in on a 90% probability in wins when playing “24 plus 8 Roulette”. That probability is slightly higher in single-zero wheel European Roulette, and slightly lower in double-zero wheel American Roulette.
What is the 24+8 Roulette System all about?
You should already know that other than welcome attempts at theorizing Roulette with the Physics of angular momentum and the mathematics of Game Theory, it really does come down to sheer luck… From how the Roulette wheel starts its spin to how the Roulette ball treads its opposite motion… Which pocket the ball stops in is what determines what goes into or out of your pocket.
The 24+8 Roulette strategy so aptly named, entails the following key things:
- The slots are split into dozens, which makes for 3 sets of dozens
- Each set is numbered as:
- 1st dozen (numbers 1 to 12)
- 2nd dozen (numbers 13 to 24)
- 3rd dozen (numbers 25 to 36)
- You’re to stake your bet on two sets of dozens, (hence in “Roulette 24+8 strategy” the ”24” = 2 sets x 1 dozen)
- For the 24+8 Roulette system, you place unit chips on the 2 outer dozen sets, that is:
- the (1st) first dozen set, and,
- the (3rd) third dozen set
- You then either (depending on the “24+8 Roulette version” you use) make additional bets on the 1 inner dozen set that are either:
- Split Bets – Typical payouts for these is a 17:1 ratio (in basic Roulette systems).
- Straight Bets – These typically payout a 35:1 ratio (in basic Roulette strategies).
- Seeing as a split bet occurs in between a pair of given numbers, there will be 2 numbers for each split bet, (hence in “Roulette 24+8 system” the “8” = 4 bets x 2 split numbers)
Choosing your Split Bets in the 24+8 Roulette System of playing
You’ll be forgiven for being spoilt for choice in picking from an array, your preferred Split Bets. These options could be:
- A horizontal split bet pair or a vertical split bet pair from the middle dozen set, a total of four split bets. This can be:
- 13 and 14,
- 22 and 23, or,
- 20 and 17,
- 21 and 18,
- The only midbar split bet pair also from the second dozen set, in total one split bet. This comprises the pair of numbers 16 and 19, to spare the other split numbers.
What about Straight Bets in the 24+8 Roulette System of playing
You could also opt for a Straight-up Bet which has higher stakes, and more gains with equivalent losses.
Keep in mind that it will be better for you to get a hit on any of the “outer” dozen sets (the first and third dozen) in which case you neither make a loss nor gain a win. The dealer makes a push of your chips – and you’re safe.
It is advised that you hold out for 5 plays, without losing, after which you “break-even”. Any loss you strike before these 1-2-3-4-5 painstaking rounds of play will be your “losing streak”.
The slow traction of the “24+8 Roulette System” comes in the required rounds of play before you can realize your profit.
