What is En Prison and La Partage in French Roulette?

Accepted Answer

In French Roulette, the ‘La Partage’ rule states that if the player makes an even-money bet and the ball lands in the 0 pocket, the player will receive 50% of the bet back. The other option is ‘En Prison’ which means that the player can choose to leave the bet on the table – ‘In Prison’ – until the next spin. If, on the next spin, the player wins, then the bet is returned with no winnings from the regular bet.

Question 5

How do you use the Martingale System in Roulette?

Accepted Answer

The Martingale System requires that players increase their bet size after every loss. With Martingale you begin with a small initial bet. Then, you continue betting the same amount until you lose your bet. When you lose your bet, you will double your bet size. You will continue doubling your bet on every loss, until you win, then you come out slightly ahead. However, the problems with the Martingale system are that you will quickly reach the maximum bet limit per table, and nobody has an unlimited bankroll. Plus, there is no guarantee how long your losing streak will continue.
