In roulette online, some people call a way of betting on certain numbers as insurance. These are extra bets that you put on the table to increase your chances of winning. Some betting strategies have insurance bets while some don\’t. Strategies that use the insurance system doesn\’t necessarily ensure a win but it does improve your odds of winning if you place the insurance bet properly.

Using the insurance roulette

This betting strategy is relatively new compared to the other popular strategies. The generic way of playing this strategy is to place a bet on either the 1st dozen or the 3rd dozen of the betting zones on the roulette wheel. This way you have 33% of the wheel covered. You make a second insurance bet 2x as large as the dozen bet on half of the numbers on the wheel. To do this, divide the roulette\’s 36 numbers into two; 1-18 and 19-36. If you chose the 1st dozen then bet on the lower half, otherwise place you bet on the lower half.

For the example, a $25 bet on the 3rd dozen means that you should bet $50 on the upper half of the numbers in the wheel. If you win both bets, you will have a $100 of profit. If it lands on any of the numbers from 13-18 you get paid with you insurance bet and win 25 dollars of profit.

You should increase the bet size to double of the initial bet if you lose. So if we lose in our example, we must increase the bet to 50 on the dozens bet and 100 on the insurance bet. This part is taken from the Martingale system.

This is a great strategy because instead of a 1 out of 37 chance of winning if you bet on one number, you have an 18 out of 37 chance to win in your insurance bet and 12 out of 37 chance to win on both your dozen bet and your insurance bet.
