Helpful Roulette Strategy
Roulette has been an object of interest of great mathematicians and physicists. Albert Einstein himself investigated roulette trying to see math behind the roulette looking for a way to beat the house. The numerous hours of research summed up in a conclusion that “you cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it".
If Albert Einstein, the developer of the theory of relativity, couldn't find a way to win at roulette (without stealing) what makes you think that others can? The sad truth is that there is no roulette strategy. BUT there are certain secrets that may help you increase your winning odds.
- When you choose a roulette game to play, look for the one that has the “Surrender” option. In Roulette, this rule applies to outside bets which pay even money only. Surrender works in your favor by returning some or all of your money back to you if the ball happens to land on either the '0' or '00' slots. Of course, the payoffs are not as attractive for outside bets, but by finding a table with the Surrender rule, you are improving your odds substantially.
- Wager on low-odds and even-money bets since they offer the lowest house advantage when playing roulette.
- A good advice is to make a spending budget before you start to play. Decide upon the limit and stick to it. If you lose that amount, quit the game this time. It is when you start spending more money than you can afford that you risk getting into real trouble. Never chase losses. Do not try to win back earlier losses. It will only make your good time end sooner.
- Choose the casino roulette game which has so called 'En Prison' option. This is when the ball lands on 0 and is applied only to even-money outside bets. In this situation, the player does not immediately lose his bet, the bet remains on the board and is said to be ‘in prison’. The fate of the spin is decided on the following spin. If the previous bet wins, the money is returned to the player, but with no additional winnings. If it loses, the money is lost and if 0 appears again the bet remains 'in prison.'
- Don't bet on the five-spot or top line (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) on American roulette.
- Play at casinos that offer European roulette. The extra zero in American roulette gives to the house a 5.3% advantage whereas with European roulette, the house advantage is 2.7%.
