How Finals System Works
Right, so why don’t we start at the top directly, and first see the Finals System in practice. Although you may something to take notes with, digital or physical paper would be best, you could also track the cold numbers by using the software built into most strategies out there that allows you to directly look up what numbers have not been coming up on the wheel for a while. Here is a five-step process to understand Finals System a bit better.
- Wait for 39 rounds to go on the table and see which the winning numbers are. You don’t want to start placing bets just yet.
- Create 7 final groups of numbers based on the winning numbers. Then create a list based on the final numbers.
- Check if there are duplicates of the numbers in the groups you have put down. If this is the case, you must eliminate the number from one of the groups.
- Identify the group of wagers that appeared the fewest times or did not appear at all.
- Bet on this exact group of numbers for nine rounds or until you win. You must be betting straight-up on each of these numbers.
Right, this may sound like a little too much at first, but it is true. Unlike many other roulette strategies, the Finals System is way more involved. You have to be actively working on this strategy to make it work, and you cannot afford the luxury of being distracted. It was first tried at the Monte Carlo Casino in 1913, and it has been around for more than 100 years, so gamblers find it interesting.
We Tested the Finals System
So, guess what? We decided to go straight ahead and help you understand how the Finals System works by testing it ourselves. We picked three players and assigned a bankroll of 500 units each. The first thing we did was to track the numbers and split them into groups. Right, so we first did for the first player.
31, 4, 13, 36, 4, 27, 16, 4, 4, 31, 3, 14, 6, 3, 31, 14, 8, 24, 22, 9, 32, 2, 8, 28, 33, 11, 8, 21, 23, 23, 26, 14, 29, 15, 1, 0, 27, 30, 6
Once we have recorded the numbers, we then split them into groups:
- 0, 30
- 31, 31, 31, 11, 21, 1
- 22, 32, 2
- 13, 3, 3, 33, 23, 23
- 4, 4, 4, 4, 14, 14, 24, 14
- 15
- 36, 16, 6, 26, 6
Next, we figured out what the final numbers were. Based on our example, these are the numbers ending in 5 or 5, 15, 25, and 35. Below, you can find an example of what we bet over nine rounds:

Here are the results of our test with Player 1:
| Round | Outcome | Result | Wager Amount | Payout | Bankroll |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 32 | loss | 4 | -4 | 496 |
| 2 | 36 | loss | 4 | -4 | 492 |
| 3 | 17 | loss | 4 | -4 | 488 |
| 4 | 6 | loss | 4 | -4 | 484 |
| 5 | 36 | loss | 4 | -4 | 480 |
| 6 | 8 | loss | 4 | -4 | 476 |
| 7 | 9 | loss | 4 | -4 | 472 |
| 8 | 20 | loss | 4 | -4 | 468 |
| 9 | 25 | win | 4 | 32 | 500 |
The conclusion from our first test is that Player 1 was only able to win in the 9th round and break even, ending with 500-unit bankroll, just like he started. Here is what happened with Player 2. We ran the sequence once again.
30, 9, 16, 20, 3, 8, 9, 14, 9, 33, 6, 27, 22, 18, 7, 32, 27, 14, 5, 29, 36, 11, 26, 32, 29, 17, 21, 8, 11, 26, 11, 31, 23, 33, 27, 20, 1, 8, 31
Based on these results, we split the numbers into groups:
- 30, 20, 30
- 11, 21, 11, 11, 31, 1, 31
- 22, 32, 22
- 3, 33, 33
- 14, 14
- 5
- 16, 6, 36, 26, 26
In this case, we saw two groups of numbers producing the fewest outcomes on the wheel, to name 4, 14, 24, 34, 5, 15, 25, 35. Or double the numbers we bet on with Player 1. Here is what the betting table looked like:

And here are the results of our test:
| Round | Outcome | Result | Wager Amount | Payout | Bankroll |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 23 | loss | 8 | -8 | 492 |
| 2 | 19 | loss | 8 | -8 | 484 |
| 3 | 14 | win | 8 | 28 | 512 |
| 4 | 36 | loss | 8 | -8 | 504 |
| 5 | 8 | loss | 8 | -8 | 496 |
| 6 | 0 | loss | 8 | -8 | 488 |
| 7 | 6 | loss | 8 | -8 | 480 |
| 8 | 7 | loss | 8 | -8 | 472 |
| 9 | 26 | loss | 8 | -8 | 464 |
As you can see, Player 2 did not get ahead. In fact, they ended with a 464-unit bankroll, lower than they started with. Right, so let’s have a look at Player 3 by first running the 39 rounds.
17, 36, 9, 32, 0, 35, 5, 10, 19, 22, 0, 19, 9, 34, 36, 13, 19, 20, 9, 36, 21, 22, 15, 18, 1, 12, 0, 11, 31, 8, 26, 20, 14, 15, 14, 16, 24, 35, 36
Based on this, we established the following groups:
- 0, 10, 0, 20, 0, 20
- 21, 1, 11, 31
- 32, 22, 22, 12
- 13
- 34, 14, 14, 24
- 35, 5, 15, 35
- 36, 36, 36, 26, 16, 36
As you can see, 3 was the number that appeared the fewest times here, so we assigned the group of finals here to be 3, 13, 23, and 33. What did the test show? Let’s find out.
| Round | Outcome | Result | Wager Amount | Payout | Bankroll |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | loss | 4 | -4 | 496 |
| 2 | 34 | loss | 4 | -4 | 492 |
| 3 | 34 | loss | 4 | -4 | 488 |
| 4 | 6 | loss | 4 | -4 | 484 |
| 5 | 4 | loss | 4 | -4 | 480 |
| 6 | 6 | loss | 4 | -4 | 476 |
| 7 | 34 | loss | 4 | -4 | 472 |
| 8 | 23 | win | 4 | 32 | 504 |
| 9 | 36 | loss | 4 | -4 | 500 |
As you can see, Player 3 was also able to break even, the same as Player 1. The only one to lose was Player 2.
Pitfalls of the Finals System
Right, so you can see where the main difficulties with this strategy lie. First off, you cannot use it for an RNG game. Or you could if you use the free money play. You might use the strategy to play Live Dealer Roulette, though, which is great. The second issue is that your record tracking has to be immaculate and quick. This is not a strategy that every player can adjust to, understandably.
Conclusion
All in all, we find the Finals System to be a refreshing and nice system to explore. It is a way more involved stratagem that means that you will get to be in control. However, as you can see, making a profit is hard. The system does show that if you analyze the numbers, there might be some chance to win on a straight-up bet. Whether this is down to statistics or blind luck, we will leave it to you to decide. If you like a challenge, then the Finals System is for you.
