How Does The Finals System Work?
Although the system might seem a bit complicated at first, it’s not. In fact, it’s very simple, but the whole ‘monitor and take notes’ procedure might seem complex. Most online roulette games have a ‘hot and cold numbers’ section where you can monitor the last 50, 100, or more spins and see the results, but to stay true to the strategy, we’ll use the old-school approach and tell you how to implement this strategy by doing everything manually. These are all the phases that you should perform:
- Observation Phase: First, observe the outcomes of 39 spins without placing any bets. It’s crucial to document each winning number during these spins, so we suggest using a pen and a piece of paper.
- Organization Phase: Next, classify each of the observed winning numbers according to their final digit, grouping them into their respective 'finals'.
- Analysis Phase: Assess how many times each final group appears. Note groups with fewer appearances as they are considered primary candidates for upcoming bets.
- Betting Phase: Select the final group that appeared the least often. Place straight-up bets on all numbers within this group for the next 9 spins or until a win is recorded.
This is an old-school system that dates back to 1913, when some gamblers started using it in the iconic Monte Carlo Casino with the belief that the cold numbers must get warmer at some point. In a nutshell, you need to choose 9 numbers and place 9 straight bets on them. To better understand how it works, we’ll provide you with an example and a simulation of the strategy in practice.
Testing The Finals Betting System
To test how the Finals system works in practice, we created a simulation of 3 players, each one starting with a bankroll of ₹500 each. Then, based on the requirements of the strategy, we ran an RNG of a European roulette wheel for 39 spins, and recorded the numbers. Then, we created the final groups for each of the players based on the numbers we recorded and placed the bets on the group that had the fewest numbers.
Let’s see what happened with Player 1. These are the results of the 39 spins for them:13, 4, 36, 27, 31, 16, 7, 3, 10, 4, 31, 14, 6, 3, 5, 31, 14, 28, 29, 6, 30, 27, 3, 8, 12, 3, 31, 23, 33, 16, 30, 1, 11, 23, 4, 25, 24, 14, 0.
We analyzed the list and created these Finals groups:
If you check out our grups, you’ll see that the group with the fewest number is the group of 2. In the 39 spins, the number 12 was only selected once, and no other numbers ending with 2 were selected. All other groups have more numbers, so we will only place straight bets on the numbers of the group 2: 2, 12, 22, 32.
Since we decided on a unit size of ₹500, we will need ₹2,000 for each bet. Let’s see what happened.
| Round | Outcome | Result | Wager Amount | Payout | Bankroll |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | loss | 2000 | -2000 | 48,000 |
| 2 | 33 | loss | 2000 | -2000 | 46,000 |
| 3 | 35 | loss | 2000 | -2000 | 44,000 |
| 4 | 14 | loss | 2000 | -2000 | 42,000 |
| 5 | 16 | loss | 2000 | -2000 | 40,000 |
| 6 | 0 | loss | 2000 | -2000 | 38,000 |
| 7 | 36 | loss | 2000 | -2000 | 36,000 |
| 8 | 22 | win | 2000 | 16,000 | 52,000 |
| 9 | 21 | loss | 2000 | -2000 | 50,000 |
Interestingly enough, Player 1 completed the session with the same bankroll it started - ₹50,000. However, this doesn’t prove anything just yet, so we continue with Player 2.
These are the numbers that were selected in the 39 spins:12, 5, 13, 7, 28, 18, 14, 2, 36, 7, 14, 1, 6, 0, 17, 8, 13, 29, 24, 4, 20, 10, 11, 8, 12, 3, 13, 2, 26, 15, 25, 22, 3, 18, 13, 17, 19, 5, 35.
And these are the groups:
- 0, 10, 20
- 1, 11
- 2, 12, 22
- 3, 13
- 4, 14, 24
- 5, 15, 25
- 6, 26, 36
Based on these results, the groups with the least numbers in them are the 1 and the 3 group, which means that we need to place 8 straight-up bets on the numbers:1, 22, 21, 31, 3, 13, 23, 33.
We’ll use the same unit size, but this time, each bet costs ₹4,000 since we’re placing 8 straight-up bets for each spin. Let’s see what happened to player 2:
| Round | Outcome | Result | Wager Amount | Payout | Bankroll |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | loss | 4,000 | -4,000 | 46,000 |
| 2 | 27 | loss | 4,000 | -4,000 | 42,000 |
| 3 | 15 | loss | 4,000 | -4,000 | 38,000 |
| 4 | 5 | loss | 4,000 | -4,000 | 34,000 |
| 5 | 0 | loss | 4,000 | -4,000 | 30,000 |
| 6 | 30 | loss | 4,000 | -4,000 | 26,000 |
| 7 | 36 | loss | 4,000 | -4,000 | 22,000 |
| 8 | 14 | loss | 4,000 | -4,000 | 18,000 |
| 9 | 22 | loss | 4,000 | -4,000 | 14,000 |
Player 2 didn’t have the luck the Player 1 did, so they lost each of the 9 bets. This means that they lost the majority of their starting bankroll, and ended the session with just ₹14,000 despite starting out with ₹50,000 in their bankroll. So, the strategy was unsuccessful in this try.
Let’s see what happened with player 3. To fast-forward the process, we’ll tell you that the least frequent group was 5, which includes the numbers 5, 15, 25, 35. We placed straight-up bets on these numbers, and the outcomes for the nine spins were:
- Round 1: 32 (loss)
- Round 2: 36 (loss)
- Round 3: 17 (loss)
- Round 4: 6 (loss)
- Round 5: 36 (loss)
- Round 6: 8 (loss)
- Round 7: 9 (loss)
- Round 8: 20 (loss)
- Round 9: 25 (win)
Player 3 barely made it through in the 9th spin and concluded with a balance of ₹50,000, breaking even.
Drawbacks of the Finals System
The main problem of this strategy is the fact that it’s based on a gambler’s fallacy. There’s no such thing as hot and cold number. Every spin on the roulette is independent, and the house edge remains the same - it’s 2.70% for every spin. Our simulations and tests confirmed this: 2 of the 3 players barely made even, and one player experienced a massive loss.
Basically, the strategy is just placing straight bets on numbers of your choice, and hoping to get lucky. We’re not saying that it’s impossible to win, because luck can always turn on our side, but the strategy itself doesn’t make a lot of mathematical sense.
Conclusion
The Finals System means placing the same straight bets for 9 consecutive rounds. Since there’s no progression, the house edge remains the same throughout the session, so the strategy won’t work in the long run, but you might get luck and come ahead in the short run.
