The 64% Strategy
This strategy is named for the odds a player has of winning on each spin, or 3 to 2. This strategy is designed for a single 0 European wheel, but can be just as effective on an American 0, 00. Start by betting $1 (or the table minimum) on 2 of the 3 12 number groups (1-12, 13-24, 25-36) for a $2 stake. The trick here is to increase your bet by a factor of 3 for consecutive losing spins ($3-$3, $9-$9, $27-$27 etc.). This is because the chances for more than 4 consecutive losing spins with this strategy are small, about 8%.
Below is a chart showing a possible outcome with this strategy:
