Fibonacci Strategy: Principle, Practical Example and Review

Principle of the strategy

The Fibonacci strategy is not at all difficult to understand. However, in order to be able to explain its principle itself, we must first familiarize ourselves with the Fibonacci sequence on which the strategy works.

It is an infinite sequence of natural numbers starting at 0, where each number is the sum of the two previous numbers
0 – 1 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 8 – 13 – 21 – 34 – 55 – 89…
When you lose, you increase your bet by one number higher in the sequence. When you win, you go back two numbers back to zero.

The goal of the strategy is to maximize the ratio of wins and losses, where any win is always greater than any loss in the next round.

Fibonacci Strategy in Practice

Of course, it is best to explain the course of this strategy using a specific example. You can find it on the following lines, including a table of the entire course of our sample game.

Preparation:

Bet: even numbers
Sequence: 1 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 8 – 13
Bankroll: £100
Number of rounds: until the sequence is exceeded or after returning to the original bet

Example No. 1:

We didn’t do very well in our demo game at first. Thanks to a lucky streak, we eventually recovered all our losses and managed to make a profit of 1

Example 2:

In the second example, we will show what a negative profit could look like:

This example shows how quickly you can get to high stakes after a series of losses. It is clear that no strategy can simply guarantee 100% profit.

Using any roulette strategy requires discipline and a clear definition of the limits within which we will operate in the game. Since bets in the later stages of the Fibonacci sequence increase at a dizzying pace, it is necessary to know when to stop.

Is it worth using the Fibonacci strategy?

If you want to learn how to work with your bankroll, can set a clear sequence that you want to follow and do not mind a higher risk, you can safely use the Fibonacci strategy for your game. It is very good at balancing the ratio between wins and losses.

However, like all strategies, it cannot guarantee any long-term profit (the casino will always win thanks to the high house edge of roulette) and with longer bonuses without a win, it can really shake up your bankroll. With longer winning streaks, it will not bring you anything too fundamental, because you are constantly reducing your bets. From our point of view, it can be tried, but there are also more interesting strategies.

However, if you are still afraid of losing, you can try the strategy on free online roulette, where you do not play for real money and do not risk anything.
