James bond roulette strategy

What is the James Bond roulette strategy?

Based on the famous character from Ian Fleming's series of books, the roulette James Bond strategy selects three different bets that cover the majority of the outcomes at a roulette table. James Bond's approach is a flat betting system where players use the same amount for each bet that they place.

From the three bets, one will cover roughly 70% of your total, another 25% and the final covering 5%. Following the strategy, the first bet is placed on high numbers, the next bet is placed on a double street and the final selection is placed on a zero bet.

Selecting these options attempts to cover the majority of outcomes that can hit on the roulette wheel.

Playing this approach in the American version does not completely fit the system as there is an extra zero pocket on the wheel. In this scenario, you could split the zero bet across both the zero and the double zero.

Positives of the James Bond roulette strategy

Covering most of the bet options on the roulette table, the James Bond system helps players to spread their stakes around multiple bets. This does not guarantee that the player will win as the strategy does not overcome the house edge.

With the bets spread across the table, the James Bond roulette system could be considered as less aggressive when compared to some of the progressive systems available. It is also a flat approach, preventing the bet amount from rising and potentially minimising big losses.

Negatives of the James Bond roulette strategy

As you are betting on so many different options in a round, there is the certainty that you will lose some of your bets which could potentially wipe out any other wins.

European roulette has a house edge of roughly 2.7% whilst the edge at an American roulette table is 5.26%. This means that players are more likely to lose when playing roulette, regardless of the strategy that they are using.

The only numbers that aren't covered are 1-12. In the scenario where the ball lands on one of these segments, the player would lose. It's also worth noting that all of the bets do not payout equal amounts so previous losses can be wiped out when hitting a number between 1 and 12.

Summary of the James Bond roulette strategy

Roulette is a game of random chance and the James Bond method ultimately comes down to just that.

Despite the betting options covering the majority of outcomes, there is a house edge which means that some rounds will not come in and could clean out any previous wins that you might have achieved.

The James Bond betting system is a flat system and bets are spread across multiple options. For those who are unaware of flat betting systems, these are strategies where the betting amount remains the same after each round.
