Tips to win Roulette

Roulette is the third most popular casino game and with it come lots of ideas and recommendations on how to play and how to win.

These are not necessarily all true and correct. Here are some good tips which can help you on your way when playing Roulette:

  • Set yourself an amount of money that you are willing to play with and maybe lose. Make sure you keep some money back because as with the law of averages, after a number of games luck is bound to kick in.

  • Know the house odds for each type of bet you want to place in each type of game. There are many different types of bets with Roulette and each one has negative and positive sides for the player. Make sure you are aware of all of the scenarios before you place your bets.

  • Some casinos may offer better odds than others so don`t take one casino as definitely offering the same as the other. If there are special bonus plays or prizes offered, make sure you check out all of the details.

  • Online casinos offer welcome packages that involve minimum betting amounts, so if you are planning your betting structure at a certain casino make sure you know how you want to place your bets and the limits that you are going to put into place but take into account the minimums.

  • Choose which type of Roulette wheel you want to play with and stick with that. You can choose between the American wheel which has the extra zero, a double zero and the European wheel which has one zero. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. A game of American Roulette gives a better house advantage which is not what you want but if they offer the Atlantic City rules which have the option of Surrender then this can increase the player`s advantage. Some European games offer the En Prison rule, which again gives a higher advantage to the player.

  • Don`t pay attention to the books and articles that have been written advising to chart the wheel and work out probabilities of certain numbers. There is no proven system that works on sequential probability as this would involve one game being related to the other. Since every spin of the wheel is a new game, there is no probability advantage.

  • Before entering a game, spend some time watching the game, how each game is played and how the bets are placed. This helps you become more comfortable with the table and the game you are about to play.

  • If you are playing at an online casino, play a practice game where you don`t have to place real money bets before commencing the real game. This way you are sure of your game and not under pressure when you start to play with real money.

  • If you want to stay longer in the game, and make your bankroll last, stick to the bets and casinos that do not look for high rollers. There are Roulette wheels where you can bet as little as $0.25 per game.

  • If are playing just to win large sums of money then you need to start with a large bankroll and place high value bets.

  • It has been proven time and time again that if you stick to a consistent betting form you are more likely to win, so don`t be erratic in your betting. Decide on your amount and type of bets that you want to use for the duration of the play and stick to it.

  • If a casino offers the chance to Progressive betting, take it. This can often lead to large amounts being won. But, be conservative in how you approach it.
