More Details
The D’Alembert System is relatively easy to use- it is often used on the even money bets (e.g. red, black etc). The system was developed from French mathematician Jean Le Rond d’Alembert’s theory of equilibrium. In a nutshell, his theory was that iif something occurs with an equal chance of taking place (e.g. flipping a coin, or even/odd on a roulette wheel), and you start to see a lot of one outcome (lots of reds for example), then the opposite outcome must at some point “kick in”, so that the natural order of things can be restored. The system was thought to have been used by Charles Deville Wells in 1891 when he broke the bank in Monte Carlo, winning 1 million French Francs (around $13 million in today’s money).But others say he used the Martingale, or he cheated.
So, if you keep seeing reds, the wheel should switch to black, at some point in the future.

So how does this translate in to a system? Well, the D’Alembert System take the emotions out of the game, and to make your betting more methodical. The D’Alembert does not alter your odds, however. The basic theory is to try and bank your profits after a win (bet reduces) and claw back money after a loss (bet increases). It’s a gentle negative progression system (other negative progressions include the Fibonacci System and its more famous cousin: The Martingale.
How do You Play it?
Add a unit to your last bet if you lose and take away a unit if you win. it’s that simple.
