Some Advanced Strategies To Try
Advanced Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
strategies start with one of the nine types of bets you can make and
manipulate them in a way to improve your chances of winning. We call
these advanced Roulette or Online Casino
Roulette strategies simply because they take a little more
practice or expertise with the game than the 12 basic strategies outlined
in the last chapter. The Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette strategies listed here are perfect examples.
Many of the Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
betting systems you will discover are variations of the nine types
of bets discussed earlier.
Most of these advanced Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette strategies try to give the player an edge
by covering more numbers. Even some knowledgeable Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette players have made the mistake
of thinking they are actually increasing their odds of beating the
game by covering more numbers. In reality, covering more numbers does
absolutely nothing to increase the player's odds of winning long term.
When considering any one isolated spin, then obviously if you cover
24 of 38 numbers you have a better chance of winning on that one spin
than you do if you only cover six of 38 numbers. However, over the
course of a normal session, covering 24 of 38 numbers will have no
effect at all.
For this example, let’s forget the 0 and the 00 and work with
the 36 numbers on the board. If you cover six of the 36, the odds
of your number being hit are 1 in six. Theoretically, one of your
numbers will win every six spins of the Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette wheel. You will win on
one and lose the other five bets on that spin. On five spins you will
lose all six bets. So, out of six spins of the wheel you would win
35 chips and lose 35.
Covering more numbers will increase the odds that one of your numbers
will win on a particular spin, but it also increases the cost of winning.
For example if you cover half of the board, 18 numbers, one of those
numbers will win every other spin in a perfect world. In two spins
of the wheel you will win 35 chips and lose 35. The net effect of
having more numbers covered, over time, is no greater than playing
with fewer numbers covered.
Here are some Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
strategies built on the basic Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette strategies outlined earlier in this book,
but covering more of the wheel or board.
The double dozens or double columns: One of the ways you can bet in
Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
is either on series of 12 numbers (dozen) or on one of the columns
of numbers. In either case, you are betting on 12 numbers or 1/3 of
the number on the board. This is not counting the 0 and 00. Betting
on either a column or a dozen is a 2:1 outside bet or you have a chance
of winning slightly less than 1/3 of the time. The double dozens or
double columns take this strategy one step further.
Choose either the dozens or the columns. Bet on two. For example,
if you are betting on dozens, you will place chips on two of the dozens.
This might be the number series 1 – 12 and 13 – 24. It
might be the first and last dozen or the second and last dozen. It
doesn’t make any difference. Whether you play dozens or columns
will probably depend upon where you are sitting at the table. If you
are sitting along the side, you will probably bet dozens. If you are
sitting at the
end, it will be easier for you to play columns. Bet the same amount
on each dozen. You now have two thirds of the board covered. The ball
should now land on one of the numbers in your two dozens slightly
less than two thirds of the time.
Lets say you bet $5 on each dozen. You have made a $10 bet. The ball
lands on one of the numbers in one of your dozens. You win at 2:1,
or $15. The other dozen lost, so you lost that $5. You had $5 invested
in the winning bet and $5 lost, so out of the $15 you won, so your
net is $5. At least a third of the time you can expect the ball to
land on one of the numbers that you do not have covered. If the game
were perfect statistically, you would break even. You would win two
out of three times. Your winnings would offset your losses. If you
run into a long series of losses, or you happen to lose at a statistically
greater rate than this, you begin digging a hole that is going to
take an abnormally greater number of wins to allow you to climb out.
This isn’t even considering the casino advantage that only increases
the level of loss. So, just playing double dozens or double columns
will eventually make you a loser.
To make a profit with this method, we have to refine the strategy
so that when you win, you are winning greater amounts than your losses.
Popular versions of this strategy call for adding a progressive betting
method to this Roulette or Online Casino
Roulette strategy. This might be combining this Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette strategy with the Martingale
or a version of the Martingale to yield a progressive Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette betting method.
Straight-Corner-Split. This Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette strategy requires that you bet on a combination
of straight up bets, splits and corner bets. Straight up bets pay
35 to 1. Split bets pay 17 to 1. Corner bets pay 8 to 1.
Here is an example of how you might use this Roulette
or Online Casino Roulette strategy. Select one of
the numbers in the center column surrounded with other numbers (5,
8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29 and 32). In this example you are going
to use 5. First, bet straight up on the five = 1 chip. Next bet the
corners covering (1,2,4 & 5), (2, 3, 5 & 6), (4, 5, 7 &
8) and (5, 6, 8 & 9) = 4 chips. Now, bet the four splits (5 –
2), (5 – 6), 5 – 8) and (5 – 4) = 4 chips. You have
now invested nine chips, in some fashion covering nine numbers. Theoretically
you now have a 9 in 38 chance of hitting one of your bets –
slightly less than one fourth of the time.
This Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
strategy is incorporated into some Roulette or Online
Casino Roulette betting systems. A system may play one or
more of these series, covering more of the board with each spin. There
are also Roulette or Online Casino Roulette
systems that use this betting method and add progressive or Martingale-like
methods a series of wins and losses.
