Sequential Roulette
A winning(?) strategy for Roulette? Roulette seems like a fool’s game. But here’s a possible strategy for playing it: 1.Begin by betting a dollar on red. 2.If you win, take your winnings and go home. 3.If you lose, place two one-dollar bets in a row on red. 4.Whatever happens on those two rolls, go home (either. There is only one thing that we can conclude, the sequential roulette system can be one of the many roulette systems that players can utilize as they play the game. As to whether European and Chinese roulette players will like it, remains to be seen. The book itself is pricey, and we know that the system requires for a player to have a big bankroll.

Introduction
Straights and 8's is a roulette side bet by Aces Up Gaming. I first saw it at the 2017 Global Gaming Expo. At the time of this writing (Oct. 7, 2017) it has placements in Colorado at the Saratoga casino in Blackhawk and the Brass Ass in Cripple Creek. Winning sequences of two or three consecutive rolls will feature consecutive, or near consecutive, numbers or all numbers containing an 8.
Rules
Winning events in Straights and 8's are as follows:
- 8-18-28: The last three numbers are an 8, 18, and 28 in any order. Example: 18, 28, 8
- Three sequential numbers: The last three numbers are consecutive, in any order. Example: 22,24,23
- Three numbers ending in 8: The last three numbers all end in 8 with at least one repeat. Example: 28, 8, 28
- Two sequential numbers: The first two of the last three numbers are consecutive. Example: 18, 17, 5 or 29, 30, 00
- First two numbers 8's: The first two of the last three numbers all end in 8. Repeats are allowed. Example: 8, 28, 15 or 28, 28, 0
- First two numbers with one gap: The first two of the last three numbers are separated by exactly one number. Example: 18, 16, 5 or 28, 30, 00
The 0 and 00 do not represent any number. If either comes out in the first two numbers, then the Straights and 8's bet will lose. The only either zero an be part of a winning combination is when the first two spins result in a win and the third spin doesn't help.
After three spins, or any spin that results in no possible win, whichever happens first, the dealer will adjudicate all bets and then call for new Straights and 8's bets. The dealer will use a special area on the table with laminated markers to note which player bet how much and a history of spins since the last bets were made.
The following pay tables are available for single-zero wheels.

Sequential Roulette End Game
European single-zero wheels also use a standardized system, but the order of the numbers is different.
The roulette table is as ingenious as the wheel. Numbers are arranged sequentially, but the patterns of red, black, high, low, odd, and even, create betting options that correspond to the wheel's layout and ensure that no bet has an advantage over any other bet. The table can accommodate dozens of unique wagers; all of them have various probabilities of success, and yet all of them (with one exception) have an exactly identical house edge.
Sequential Roulette: End Game
It's truly a mathematic marvel, relentlessly systematic yet utterly unpredictable. Here are the numbers in sequential order as they appear on an American double-zero wheel:

Zero is between 2 and 28. Double zero is between 1 and 27.

All roulette bets on an American wheel have a house edge (advantage for the casino) of 5.26% except for the five-number bet of 0, 00, 1, 2, 3 which has an edge of 7.89%. All roulette bets on a European wheel have a house edge of 2.7%. The only exception to the above occurs when the 'roulette surrender' rule is used.
Sequential Roulette System
Aside from surrender and the five-number bet, all roulette wagers buck the same house edge regardless of how the chips are placed. One chip wagered on a single number faces the same negative edge per dollar wagered as ten chips on various numbers. Here's an example of how that works:

Of course, streaks can develop in the short term. A player might be a net winner after a few dozen or a few hundred spins, but the casino will get that back eventually and win even more when the trials stretch into the thousands and beyond.
The only way to consistently beat roulette is to reduce or eliminate the casino's built-in advantage. Take heart. It can be done. For more on this subject go ReadyBetGo's section on Roulette Strategies.
