Roulette Tips In an attempt to be as unbiased as possible about the
game of roulette, I will, at most, point out there are
several "systems" or invented strategies in existence,
which claim to guarantee success at the roulette table.
And just as much as we all know that success cannot
be guaranteed at any game of chance, we all know that
these systems cannot be guaranteed as well.
However, systems have proven to be successful to some
devoted roulette players who have managed to use them in
a way that productively minimizes the inherent
weaknesses of the system. On the other hand, if
players do the research for themselves, they will see
there is a unanimous agreement between actuaries,
mathematicians and legitimate gambling professionals
that the structure of roulette does not allow for the
implementation of a bona fide strategy such as the basic
blackjack strategy. Perhaps a jerry-rigged system
is all it takes. It is up to you to decide.
Therefore, on this page, player's will not find an
infallibly self-proclaimed roulette strategy. Rather,
only sound tips related to playing the game with some
form of structure and regularity, which in effect, could
be called a strategy in itself, are offered for the
player's use. If you would like to know more about
some of the most popular systems used at roulette,
please see the comprehensive tips at the bottom of this
page. Our recommendation is that if you are
intrigued and curious about using a system, that you do
your research and learn the system inside and out.
After doing so, put the system into action at a number
of practice gambling sessions. If you are like
some of the European gambles who have successfully
customized a system so that it returns a small and
steady profit, it may well be worth a go.
Before searching for the appropriate
casino to play online roulette, which is an important factor
before playing
the game, the roulette player needs to be soundly
informed about the rules of the game, and understand
each and every bet or action that can potentially be
made (See the 'Roulette Rules' page). Beginning with
the different types of bets one will see there is a vast
assortment of payout odds and House Edge.
In order of payout odds, the roulette bets are as
follows:
-
The even money bets (red/black,
high/low, and even/odd) payout
1:1
-
The dozens and column bet pays out
2:1
-
The five-number bet pays out
5:1
-
The corner bet pays out
8:1
-
The street bet pays out
11:1
-
The split bet pays out
17:1
-
The straight-up bet pays out
35:1
For any player who is seeking to place some kind of
structure on his or her bankroll, the even money bets,
dozens, and column bets are the safest choices. The
even money bets produce the lowest House Edge of all the
roulette wagers - in conjunction with the en prison rule
the House Edge is lowered even more. As is the case at
any casino game, it is important to place the majority
of one's wagers with the bets offering the lowest Casino
Advantage. This isn't to say that a player should cease
from some of the more chancy wagers like the street,
split or straight-up. These are very exciting bets to
make, and can and do produce some large winners at the
wheel. However, it is to say that these bets should not
be made as often as the even money bets if the player is
planning to gamble at online roulette for an indefinite
length of time. Furthermore, if one of these bets does
happen to win, this might be a very good time to walk
away, depending on your bankroll status. Keep in mind
that all the bets on the roulette table naturally return
a 5.25% Casino Advantage (except the five-number bet),
although there are some situations when this advantage
can be lowered to 2.6% and 1.3%. With this in mind,
here are the best non-system related tips that will help
a player hold out at the roulette table:
Tip #1 ------- Play the European version of
Roulette
Most online casinos will offer both the American and
European versions of roulette. The only excuse for not
playing the standard European version is ignorance,
because the American version produces a higher House
Edge. European roulette does not offer the 00 on the
wheel, thereby taking one more bet out of the equation,
and lowering the House Edge to approximately 2.6% - the
lowest edge at the table.
Tip #2 ------- Place more even money bets
than other wagers
The even money wagers will give the player the lowest
House Edge at online roulette. These are the
Red/Black, High/Low and Even/Odd bets, which have a
50/50 chance of winning. With these bets, a 1.3% House
Edge is obtainable, and will help a bankroll hold out
longer with more positive return. Additionally, it is
only the even money bets that qualify for the "en
prison" rule (see tip #3), which will bring the House
Edge down even more.
Tip #3 ------- Play a roulette table that
offers the en prison or la partage rule
With this rule in place, which not all casinos offer,
(and so therefore is a subject worth looking into when
picking an online casino to play roulette at) the House
Edge can be brought down to 1.35%. It states that when
a 0 (and 00 for the American version) is landed by the
roulette ball, all even money bets are not lost, but are
rather afforded the opportunity to stay on the board for
the next bet, or be taken back by the player. In the
long run, this rule can be the deciding factor on
whether a player ends in the red or not. It may not
even come into play during a round of roulette.
However, the fact that it can be exercised is quite
reassuring, made evident by a House Edge reduced by
half. Las partage, also called the Surrender rule,
governs even money wagers in the same fashion, except
that it returns half of the wager, thereby returning a
2.6% House Edge.
Tip #4 ------- Do not place the five-number
bet
The five-number bet, simply put, gives a House Edge
of 7.3%. This is the highest casino advantage of any
other roulette wager, and should always be avoided.
With 5 to 1 payout odds, a player is better off taking
the 8 to 1 payout on a corner bet.
As one can see, an approach to playing roulette can
still be based on the numbers, as few as they might be.
The Casino advantage and odds still change from bet to
bet, but do so in such a way that making a wise wager
choice is easy to not second-guess oneself over.
