AI Summary

This video demonstrates a roulette betting strategy called 'First Center Columns,' where the host uses a $500 bankroll to target $50-$70 in profit within 15-20 minutes. The strategy involves placing bets on the first dozen, splitting zeros, and betting on specific straight-up numbers and columns, with a rule to double bets after every third loss. The host walks through a live session, showing both wins and losses, and emphasizes the importance of partial losses and the impact of playing on a single-zero versus double-zero table.

[00:00]
Strategy Overview

The strategy is called 'First Center Columns.' The goal is to turn a $500 bankroll into $50-$70 profit in 15-20 minutes.

[00:24]
Initial Betting Layout

Place $10 on the first 12, $1 splitting the zeros (or straight on zero for single-zero tables), $1 each on straight-up bets 14, 17, 20, and 23, and $5 on the first and third columns. Total initial bet is $25.

[01:43]
Doubling Rule

After every third consecutive loss, you must double your bets. This is crucial to recover losses and make a profit.

[02:08]
Partial Losses

When a number in the first dozen hits, you win $10 but lose the other bets, resulting in a partial loss of $10. These are acceptable because they are recoverable.

[03:39]
Complete Loss

A complete loss occurs when none of your covered numbers hit, losing the full $25. This triggers the doubling rule after three such losses.

[05:00]
Single Zero vs Double Zero

Playing on a single-zero table is significantly better. When a zero hits on a single-zero table, you get paid $34, whereas on a double-zero table, you share the win and get less, making it less profitable.

[07:39]
Winning Scenario

When a first dozen number hits, you win $40 (two-to-one on the $20 bet) plus $20 from the column bet, resulting in a $60 win, offsetting losses.

[11:57]
Straight-Up Hit

Hitting one of the straight-up numbers (14, 17, 20, 23) pays 35-to-1, which can recover all losses and put you into profit.

[16:31]
Doubling Up at Higher Level

After three losses at the base level, you double bets to $40 on the first dozen and $4 on straight-ups. This increases potential winnings significantly.

[21:58]
Session Result

The session ended with $94 profit after 21 minutes, exceeding the target. The host notes that it was more difficult than usual but demonstrates the strategy's resilience.

The 'First Center Columns' strategy aims to generate consistent small profits through a structured betting pattern and disciplined loss management. While it can be profitable, the host acknowledges that variance can make sessions longer and more challenging, and emphasizes the importance of playing on single-zero tables for better returns.

[00:00] Here's an awesome strategy. First, center columns. Can we make any money doing this? Actually, I already know because I just did it. Check it out. See what your thoughts are.

[00:12] $500 a bankroll, $50 to $70 worth of profit, hopefully in a 15 to 20 minute time frame. See you in a minute.

[00:24] Number 20. What a winner. Beautiful. Hello, you wonderful roulette players. welcome back to the channel first center columns because it's got about everything you could

[00:36] possibly imagine in this particular strategy let's get right to it five hundred dollars with the bankroll 50 to 70 bucks is what we need to get profit 50 to 70 make it worth my time

[00:49] let's make some money. $10 on the first 12. $1 splitting the zeros. Now, if you're playing with a single zero, which I suggest, always put it straight on the zero. Awesome. Then

[01:08] we've got four straight up bets. 14, 17, 20, and 23. Right down the center there. See that one. One dollar on each. Five bucks on first and third column. What have we got in play

[01:26] here? Ten, twenty-five dollars. Twenty-five bucks. But wait to see all the different ways that you can win. Let's get to it. First number. Make it a goodie. Not that it matters. Every

[01:43] third loss, you've got to double up. Third loss. Every third. For Twitter, yes. It's just water.

[01:56] That couldn't be any worse, really, when you think about it. Well, maybe it could. 36. Alright. We lose 5, 10, 15, 20 dollars.

[02:08] We lose 20 bucks. But we're going to win 10, right? I'm just going to take it all down. We're not going to do this all the time. Those are all losses. We're going to get paid two to one.

[02:20] So it's a partial loss, all right? We're going to lose $10, all right? If you don't mind, I'm just going to give $10, put it in the loss tray. That is where it needs to go in the profit tray.

[02:34] Three losses, then we double. Then we put these bets back. That goes over here. and these two come back over here. What do we really want here? That's a good

[02:47] question. Let me put 36 on the board. Ideally we get 1 through 10 here, 3 through 12 there. Those are going to be our highlights. Well they're going to be

[03:00] highlights along with these straight up there. They're going to be highlights as well. When we get them hopefully I'll be able to show you what I mean.

[03:12] All right, it's going to be another partial loss, okay? Same again, we're going to lose $10. It's going to be our second loss. It's not so bad. I can stomach that because I know I can recover it quickly.

[03:27] Second loss, $22 goes on the board. Anything in the first dozen, we are going to make money. More money if it's more money. Remember that slot machine?

[03:39] more money if it's going to be 1 through 10 or 3 through 12. These still pay us 26. Wow. Now, that's a complete loss. Those four numbers there absolutely suck, right?

[03:54] 26. We could not have started out any worse, really. We really couldn't. It's so bad. We're going to lose 25 bucks here, guys. Gone. That's our third loss.

[04:07] So now we've got to go up. just like so. And five bucks here, right? You wait and see, though, guys. You're going to get your fair share of wins.

[04:19] You've got a lot of coverage here, so don't panic. Three losses, yes, that's that. But we're playing with minimal dollars at the moment, so it's important to get the wins

[04:31] when we're at this level. That will make all the difference in the world. Oh, yes. All right, well, if it was a single zero, it would be even sweeter, right? We're going to get paid $34 here, $34, but we lose all these.

[04:48] So we've got to take that into consideration. 10, 20, 30, 34. Those are losses. Still a loss, okay? Still a loss.

[05:00] It sucks, but it's just the way it goes. And I'm just going to put these back here. and of course we've got to go up. Well, we're not going to go up.

[05:12] We're just going to go back to this level two, right? So if this had been a single zero table, that would have been a nice winner for us.

[05:25] It's like hitting one of these straight up. You would have got paid, as you can see here, 70 bucks, right? But because we had to share it with the double zero, it absolutely sucks. well it doesn't suck but it's not it's not the best case scenario

[05:42] and this okay good all right so maybe we can get a nice winner please quick squeeze if you don't mind you going to get your fair share of first dozen number 19 but right now we have not hit anything in the first double It just so mind when you think about it Actually that

[06:08] not... Number 3. When did we hit 3? We hit 36. I don't know why that number 3 should be 36, guys, just so you know. 19. We lost.

[06:21] Well, let me just break it down. Okay? That pays that one off, but all this is is a loser. So, I'm just going to put it over there. And maybe one day, we're going to get a winner. I'm going to take some more

[06:34] red, if you don't mind, guys. 100. Put it over there. Just want to make sure I'm not... There it is. Perfect. Okay.

[06:46] So, we had $20 on this one. Remember that? And now, of course, we've got $2 on each of these. And I'm going to take $10 worth of White.

[06:59] Excellent. All right. We are back in business. That goes over there. This comes back over here. I think all the bets are in place. Number 19 goes on the board.

[07:11] Now, come on. Give us something decent here, boys. We've had nothing but horrible numbers. One, two, three, four, five bad numbers in a row. Again, that should have been on a single zero.

[07:24] That would be fantastic. But double zeros find a way to really piss you off. Finally, we get a nice, solid winner here. Okay, let's break down the losses.

[07:39] Right? Now we're going to get paid two to one, so that's $40 over there. $20, $30, and $40. Very nice. That pays that one off, right? Then we're going to get paid $20 over here.

[07:54] $20. Beautiful. Nice. We needed that. We're not in session profit, so we're just going to stay put. We've only had one complete loss, though, guys. So keep that in mind.

[08:07] Having the small partial losses make all the difference in the world. Okay, so these are sell losses here. so I'm not going to jump up and down yet

[08:19] but we've got to get back to where we're making money so I'm staying put with what we had before there's no reason for us to go up and I'm going to take another $10 worth of white there it is

[08:35] because we're at $2 on each one of those and let's go again love it number 6 thank you that number six normally isn't part of my strategies and so when it does show up

[08:48] it's like oh but I'll definitely take it and be happy to accept it normally when you get your first hit in the first dozen you get another one right back I don't know why that happens

[09:00] it just seems to me told you guys I don't know why that happens for me it's just done when you go a bit of a streak without getting any one particular dozen all of a sudden it comes back in the flow.

[09:14] Number one, beautiful. Again, I will break it down just to make sure we don't do anything silly. Those are all losses. We're going to get paid $10.20 and another $20

[09:31] because we're going to get paid $40 here, right? So you get $20, two to one, $40. Beautiful. and then over here finally I'm gonna get paid 20 bucks there's ten eight nine and

[09:49] ten I know a lot of work for two dollars guys but really it wasn't much of a drama it really wasn't it came back and it was pretty solid so all right I may have

[10:05] overpaid myself on that one guys I'm gonna give that dollar back just because I think I overpaid myself okay so let's go back down to base and get things rolling here I'm just gonna go ahead and spin and then get things set up and that

[10:21] was number one that's on the board come on okay there's that that comes over here that goes over there ten dollars here we got twenty dollars twenty five dollars in play. Beautiful.

[10:34] And we're up. For the first time today, we're up. This is still going to be a winner because it's in the first dozen. We're going to win $20 here, but we're going to lose $10.15, so we're going to come away

[10:46] $5 richer because we're going to win two to one, right? $20. We're going to lose $15. Very nice. $5 goes in the bank.

[10:58] Nice. All right. We've had three in a row, guys. getting kind of scared here a little bit not ready I'm running in okay let's keep going we haven't hit one of the straight-up numbers yet but we think

[11:14] about everything else we've had a complete loss we've had a partial loss and we've had some nice wins let's keep going 31 okay again here we lose 10

[11:27] bucks. Just like last time. That's our first loss. Okay? Keep track of the losses. You don't go up until you've lost three times in a row.

[11:44] Okay. Come on. 17. Solid. I freaking love 17, guys. Always have done. 17 straight up. Beautiful.

[11:57] These are all losses We going to win 35 to 1 So if you don mind I going to take it right out of there 10 20 30 34,

[12:10] 35. We get all of our money back. Plus. So, let's see exactly where we're at. We love those hits. Those are nice. Those straight up

[12:22] hits pay us dividends. Okay. that was 17 make sure, if you don't mind guys I'm going to get back a stack just to make my accounting

[12:35] a little bit easier, there's 20 bucks 20 for 20 over here 25 for 25 and then I should

[12:47] be in good shape, ok let's keep going 17 goes on the board which it is just want to make sure my bankroll is right So look here.

[13:03] I knew I was down a little bit. There you go. Because I gave 100, didn't I? That's right. So I've got to give back 75. Which that should be. There it is.

[13:15] 75. 75. All right. So now my green is right. Okay. Where are we? 19. Okay. Not the best tasting area. another $10 that goes back to the house.

[13:29] Sucks, but just got to expect it. Second loss, right? Second loss. Oh, no. It's our first loss. I apologize. First loss.

[13:41] 19. It was on the board. And our bankroll was solid. We're still sitting in really good shape, guys, because we're going to get that $10 back pretty damn quick. Number 10. Beautiful.

[13:53] Loving it. And you know that's a fantastic number, right? Loser. So I'm going to pay this one first $10.

[14:05] $20. And now we're going to get paid an extra $10. Extra $10 goes right over there. Nice. And I'm going to go straight back to the grind.

[14:19] Right over there. Beautiful. Let's go. Got our $10 back. plus the $10 in our profit trade. Where are we, you ask? We're at $18.

[14:32] $18. That's a pretty solid win. We're at 14 minutes so far, so we've had a couple of struggles, though. Number 10 goes on the board. Number 34.

[14:44] And again, we're going to lose $10. After all the losses, we're going to lose $10, right? Because $34 came. We win here, but we lose everything else. No worries. I'm going to go try to speed things up a little bit.

[14:57] 34's on the board. It's our first loss. That's okay. Let's get another winner. One of these will be great. One of those will be great. One of those will be great.

[15:10] Or, heck, even one of those will be great. All right. You know, I'll take it, guys. I'll take it. It's not the worst-case scenario, right? We're going to win $17 here, right?

[15:23] So we're going to lose $10, $15, $17. So we're going to lose $7 on that. $7 is what we're going to lose. $15, $17, right?

[15:37] Sounds good. All right, and I'm just going to put those back, re-energize, and let's go again. Again, if you can play a single zero table,

[15:49] both of those times we've had greenies, you would have made money. it would have been like hitting one of the straight-up numbers. What a huge, huge difference, right? That's our second loss.

[16:02] Wow. Third loss, okay? It's not much of a loss, but we still lose $7. $7 goes over there. And the fact that it's a minimal loss like that is going to make a huge difference

[16:16] when we double up now and make some money. I actually enjoy doubling up because I know that most times I've had partial losses to get there. And now I know we can really make some money if we hit one of the numbers that we're looking for.

[16:31] Fricking zeros, man. I tell you, they love to show up. Now, give me one of these four, eight. Actually, all 12 of them are good.

[16:43] And also these four numbers here. These are all fantastic numbers. But number 19, number 19 actually sucks, right? We lose here, we're going to lose $20 here.

[16:56] $20. Gone. Let's go again. First loss at the second level. That's the only thing about this strategy. You've got to keep track of where you are.

[17:09] And you've got to double up after three losses. Otherwise, it's going to take effort to get your money back. So let's go through this cycle one more time. 24. Another $20 goes out.

[17:21] Wait, no. $24. We're looking for some lower numbers would be nice. At least these are partial losses, guys. These are the four that we're trying to stay away from.

[17:34] Those are the ones that just nail you. So how about a two? How about a 34? Another $20 loss. and I believe that is after loss as well 34 yeah that should be after it okay so

[17:55] now we going to double up so we going to go from 20 to 40 20 30 and 40 and you know what we got to do I going to give 25 Take 25 Go up

[18:11] Okay. And then I'm going to go to $4 on all of those. Another $10. $10. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.

[18:25] Beautiful. Let's go. getting some bad numbers guys but that's okay. You've got to expect it. Eventually you're going to get a few good ones that are going to make everything right.

[18:38] So right now we've got a little bit to overcome. We've got about number 10 is a much better number thankfully. Alright. Let me just put all this stuff

[18:50] to the side so we know what's the loser. So that's $40 so we're going to get paid $80 bucks over here 50 60 70 80 bucks beautiful then over here we're going to get paid 40 dollars

[19:08] that should be 20 it is now 20 30 40 bucks so we're still three dollars in the hole i love this case scenario because it puts us in a really good position to make some money

[19:24] alright so we've got 40 bucks here $20 over there and of course we've got $4 on each of these and I'm going to go ahead

[19:39] and spin if you know what happens a lot of times you get back to back hits and hopefully we can do that right now so we've got $4 on each of those there it is

[19:53] we're set up again if we hit this one guys it's going to blow it out of the park my number six would be fantastic okay number seven is fantastic all right now you know we're going to be in great shape here right

[20:10] but it does seem to work that way when you finally get the dozen that you're looking for you get a couple back to back these are all losses we're going to get paid 80 bucks over here it should be 20 now

[20:25] it is good 20 30 40 80 bucks right for that one and then we got another

[20:37] 40 dollars coming to us over there so I'm gonna yeah I'll take there's 10 bucks and another 30

[20:49] pays us off Beautiful, nice. Right, with that, I'm done guys. You know that, right? And again, gonna have to exchange a little bit to get our 400.

[21:02] Let me see where we are. Took a little bit longer than I wanted it to, and it took a little diversion I didn't expect. 25 comes over here, so my green is at 400 and there's that.

[21:26] So with that, and then we've got to have 80 here. There's my 80. Okay, the rest of this is profit.

[21:39] Nice. $25, $75, $75, $85, $90, $94.

[21:58] $94, very nice. Now, the thing about this, you could have very easily justified, if we only had $3 that we were looking for here, you could have come down to the base level. I chose, which I would do at the casino

[22:12] I would stay at that level until I was in true session profit that way you get to make quite a bit of money when you do hit it which we did $94 guys, not bad

[22:24] 21 minutes, yes it was definitely a lot more difficult than I think most times it will be, but at least that way you get a chance to see how difficult it can be

[22:36] but it can come back, the fact that you get, you know, minimal losses. I suppose out of $25, losing $10 is not that bad.

[22:49] You can live with that. Most of us can live with that. So, you know, the partial losses, $10, as long as you don't get the major complete loss,

[23:01] I think losing $10 is okay because when you do get your win, you get it all back. Okay? So I like it. So try and check it out and let me know what your thoughts are.

[23:14] Plus, tomorrow I plan to be doing online and with real money doing a couple of different strategies. One, you know, where you can quit your job.

[23:27] I'm going to do that because it has worked out for me twice already, and I've made a little bit of money doing that. So I will do that one, and I'll do this one too. Why not? It looks like it could be a lot of fun. Again, if you can start off with a smaller unit size, go for it.

[23:42] But I like this site because it is pretty good money, worth your time. $50 to $70, even though we kind of blew it out of the park here. But technically, we probably should have reduced our money

[23:54] because we were only $3 in the hole at one time. So thanks, guys. Catch you later. Bye.
