Everytime I used to go the casino would get my 10 euro meal paid for by betting red/black on roulette wheel.
10 lose bet 20 ,40,80 160 320 as soon as that ball landed on my colour would cash out get the meal quit while ahead.

Roulette...$5 on black, $5 on red every spin...drink free the whole time and only lose when it comes up green...you’ll get drunk for $5-$10!

My answer to breaking even in a casino? Walk in, then walk right back out.

You will never be able to break a casino, when you think you succeed, the security will come to break you some ribs

Do not use that double sistem cause I lost 600 euros with that. Better play poker instead of roullete or slots.

The best advice is not to play and you won't lose anything. Casino is a place for entertainment

Put a ski mask (bring few friends) , find a good driver, don't forget guns...that's it! 😇

(Maybe my answer is wrong, but...) 🤣

I do this as well sometimes (if I have 890 in my wallet rather than 900, I just bet 10 -> 20 -> 40 to make it a round 900 (and then I play poker)). But note that this isn't +EV, it's just creating an asymmetry in probability (i.e., it's unlikely to go wrong) for an asymmetry in result (i.e., it's very bad if it goes wrong). E.g. if you're betting three times, then the odds of winning the 10$ are 7 to 1 (7/8 vs. 1/8) but the risk reward ratio is also exactly 1 to 7 (10$ vs. 70$). If you bet 6 times as in your example, the odds of it working are 63 to 1, but the risk/reward ratio is 10$ to 630$. (Ignoring the house edge for roulette.) If it goes wrong, you've blasted all the money you've come in with in the attempts of getting a free meal.

I think that you can really play at casinos and even make money if there are promotions, free spins or deposit bonuses and so on. Without such promotions, I would not be willing to invest money.

The system you guys describe is called Martingale and it does not work out well in the longrun because there are limits within the casino.

Doing this with the attempt of getting a free 10 Dollar meal can get very costly.

Limits aren't exactly the fundamental problem; the system doesn't increase your EV even without limits. EV is strictly linear with the amount of total money you wager (at -1/37th in roulette assuming one 0)

Go out with friends, have a few laughs and a couple of drinks. Only take the money you can afford to lose. If you cannot afford to lose it, stay in and wash your hair.

Try some new table games you probably have never played. I, for instance, have watched a craps table and seen people getting excited, and I did not even know why. I did not play it. It seemed like everyone was enjoying it. Sometimes things are just for fun, but don't forget, don't take the mortgage or rent money with you.

Have fun, find a European Roulette table (with 1 zero), wait for the number 12 to hit, then the next spin, split your bet between the no's 9 and 21.

Good luck. (y)

Oh, you stopped listing pretty quick ;) Would you bet 640 if you have lost 1 more time? How about 1280? 2560? 5120...
And it is just to win 10 EUR...

There is not one betting system that works - it may seem so but in the long run every system is eventually a losing one.
Take it from a retired casino dealer who tested many systems on a computer.
