The Paroli system is based on the assumption that losses and gains tend to come in droves. Therefore, a player can achieve the greatest possible winning by limiting his losses in bad periods and maximizing his gains in good periods.
As with other roulette systems, there are different variations of the Paroli strategy. For example, some do not like to bet their entire winnings after winning, so they put one half aside and bet the other half. One could also put a third, a quarter, etc. aside instead. It is entirely up to the individual player.
Instead of varying your efforts, you can also vary what you bet on. After winning in black, you could, for example, switch to even numbers or high numbers instead.
Yes, you could even combine it with varying your efforts, so that you bet on something else at the same time as you also put a certain proportion of your winnings aside.
The Paroli system is thus very flexible and can easily be adapted to the individual player’s risk appetite and playing preferences.
As with other roulette systems, the Paroli strategy is not perfect. The casino still has a house edge, so in the long run you will not win with this strategy. On a European roulette wheel, the house edge remains 2.70%, while on an American roulette wheel it is 5.26%.
Remember that you also lose when the ball lands on zero. Therefore, the casino will always have a house edge no matter what roulette system you use.
With the Paroli strategy, it is not unlikely that you will lose many times in a row, so that any gain does not cover your losses – even if they consist of many smaller amounts.
If you use the Paroli system, there are 3 combinations that result in a loss, one combination that gives break-even and only 2 combinations that result in a win. For these reasons, it is not a winning strategy in the long run.
However, this does not mean that it is impossible to win with the Paroli system. If you are in a good shoal with recurring winnings, you can actually cash in very large amounts as this strategy is just created in order to maximize your winnings when things are going well.
