12 Simple Betting Strategies That Work
Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
is a mechanical game of chance where the player has no influence over
the outcome. The ball lands where the ball lands. The skill of the
player comes not from influencing the mechanics of the Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette game, but rather from manipulating
how he or she bets. The Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette player wins by developing a strategy for
anticipating probabilities of where the ball will land and putting
winning money management systems in place.
This chapter will deal with some simple money management systems that
novice and experienced players should use. You can win with these
Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
strategies. You should try them all. You will develop favorites that
fit your personality and style of play. You may well find that you
do not have to go any further to become a winner at Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette.
Roulette or Online Casino Roulette,
with its high odds is not a game for profit, at least for most recreational
players. It is a fun game to play and that is how most people should
approach it. But, by incorporating a little strategy into your game
you can get in, make some bets and get back out a winner. The following
are some Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
tips to help you do this.
Even Money Bet: This is a simple Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette strategy. The two colors of numbers on the
Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
wheel and on the table are red and black. Half are red, half are black.
Choose one of these two colors and stay with it. Bet on either red
or black. You have a 50-50 chance of winning minus 2 (0 and 00) in
every 38 spins. Start with $1 to test your luck. If you are on a streak,
you will want to up your bet. When you win, take your winnings and
leave your original bet on the table for the next spin. When you lose,
double your bet. If you lose a second consecutive time, take the loss
and replace your original bet of $1. Remember, there is no point in
switching colors if you start losing. Each color has an equal chance
of winning under this system. Your odds for winning are 18 in 38 spins
or 47.38% of the time. This Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette strategy is exactly the same for even/odd
or high/low bets and the payout is the same. This is a great way for
Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
beginners to become familiar with the board and with the pace of play.
Color/Columns: Bet three chips on red and two chips on the center
column (which has the most black). If red comes up on one of the other
columns, you win three chips but lose two. If black comes up in the
center of the column, you win four chips and lose three. If both center
and red come up, you win seven chips. You won’t win or lose
much with this system, but it will allow you to play Roulette
or Online Casino Roulettefor a considerable amount
of time.
The Double Street: A street is the line of three inside numbers running
across the three columns, i.e. 1, 2, 3 or 4, 5, 6. With this bet you
are going to play two streets at the same time. Make the double street
bet by placing your chip on the line separating the first numbers
of the street from the dozens spot. For example, if you are going
to play the two streets 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, you will place your
chip on the intersection of 1 and 4. The odds on this bet are 15.79%
and it pays 5 to 1.
Stay With The Same Inside Bet: If you watch the other Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette players at a Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette table, you will see people
who seem to use a scattergun approach to their betting. They scatter
chips all over the board. If they make enough bets, they win with
apparent frequency. But, they are also losing. An inside bet pays
35 to 1. It makes more sense to bet three or four numbers and just
stay with them. You are not increasing your odds by scattering bets
all over the board. In fact, you are actually decreasing them.
The Five Numbers System: This Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette strategy calls for straight up inside bets
where you get paid 35 to 1 if you win. You place your bets on five
individual numbers. Choose from all 38, including the 0 and 00. This
is a Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
strategy where people like to play birthdays or anniversaries or other
favorite dates. Pick any five numbers. They all have an equal chance
of winning. Buy 40 $1 chips. Place a chip on each of your five numbers.
You will have enough chips for eight spins. Repeat this same wager
until you win. When the ball comes to rest on one of your numbers,
you will win 35 chips (the payout is 35:1). Now, take the 35 chips
and divide them up evenly (seven each) over the five numbers you are
playing. If you get lucky this time, you will win 7 X 35, or $245.
Now, take 100 of those chips and divide them evenly over the five
numbers you are playing. By betting only 100 chips, you will still
preserve a profit of $105. If you win, you will pick up another $700
on your initial $40 investment!
Take your profit and run!
Nine Number Split: With this Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette strategy you will make nine split bets covering
a total of 18 numbers for each spin. Split each bet as follows: 1
& 4, 2 & 5, 3 &
6, 11 & 12, 26 & 27, 25 & 28, 31 & 34, 32 & 35
and 33 & 36. Your bet will be $9. If you win, you will win $17.
Your odds of winning with this bet are 47.34%.
Pick A Winner: Look for someone who is winning at the Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette table. Start making the
same bets he or she is making. They might be on a lucky streak. Stay
with the streak. This doesn’t sound like much of a Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette strategy, but the odds
of it working are at least and good and probably better than most
of the so-called Roulette or Online Casino
Roulette systems you can buy.
Play Surrender: This rule was developed for European Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette and is used on some tables
in America. In Europe it is also known as ‘en prison’.
It is not so much a Roulette or Online Casino
Roulette strategy for winning as it is a Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette strategy for not losing
so much at any one time. If possible, choose a Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette table offering the surrender
or en prison rule. When this rule is in play, if the ball lands in
the 0 or the 00 slots, the bet stays on the Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette table. The following spin
determines whether or not you win or lose. This rule applies only
to the outside or even money bets and it effectively cuts the casino
edge on these bets in half, which, of course is an advantage for you.
Avoid The Five Number Line or “Basket” Bet: This bet is
different than the five number bet Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette strategy listed above. With this bet, you
are betting the five numbers at the top of the board, the 0, 00, 1,
3 and 3. A winning spin pays 6 to 1. The problem for you with this
bet is the odds. They are in the casino’s favor. This is the
worst bet on the board for the Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette player. The casino’s margin is a
whopping 7.29%. This compares with 5.26% on the rest of the board.
It is a dumb play.
Keeping Track Of Winning Numbers: Sometimes you will see people at
the table taking notes about the numbers that are winning and the
numbers that are “due” to win. This is a complete waste
of time. Every spin of the wheel is a separate and new event. Every
number has an equal chance to win. Nothing that happened in previous
spins has any bearing on anything that will happen in the current
spin or the next one. Just because a number hasn’t been hit
for a while does not mean it is any more likely to be hit in the next
spin.
The Bankroll Strategy: This Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette strategy is as basic as a gambling strategy
can get, but it is extremely effective with Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette. First, you determine the
size bankroll you want to commit to the game. For example, you might
decide you can afford to lose $500. You set a loss limit of $500.
On the opposite end of the spectrum you set a reasonable upside limit.
Let’s say this is $800. In other words, you will be happy winning
$300 over your original $500 bankroll. That would be a 60% profit,
after all. Now, play until you hit one of these two targets. Stop.
Your session is over.
Pick A Table That Gives The Best Odds: European Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette offers better odds than
American Roulette. If you have a choice, play European Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette. The casino’s advantage
is cut in half, giving you much better odds. Better yet, find a table
that is offering European Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette and the surrender option. The casino’s
edge was cut in half again. Now the casino’s edge is only about
1.35% instead of the normal 5.26%, which is common for American Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette.
There are a number of free Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette games available on the Internet. These are
excellent opportunities for you to practice these Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette strategies. Try them out

Casino Roulette player than most people who play the game.
