Roulette Systems and Strategies
Every spin of the Roulette Wheel produces the exact same chance of any particular
number coming up. This is because every spin is a statistically separate event
that is not dependant upon the previous event. So, while you may have a “lucky
number” that you like to play, you can safely ignore any strategy that
depends upon picking what the next number is going to be based upon how many
times it has come up before.
If you are playing on an American Roulette table then the house has an edge of
5.25% except for the five number bets in which it has an edge of 7.29%. The 5
number bets is a bet that covers 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3 and has a payout of 6:1.
Since the odds of winning are so poor you should just avoid this bet entirely.
If you are playing on a European Roulette table, then the house has only a 2.70%
edge. This makes Europe the preferred gambling location for this game. The only
difference between the two tables is that the American table uses the extra number
00. The existence of this extra number is what gives it such a better house advantage
over European casinos.
The
Martingale System -
The Martingale System is one of the oldest and most popular Roulette betting
systems in casino's around the world. Originally invented for Roulette it has
since been adapted for other games such as Blackjack and Baccarat where the payoff
odds for a wager are close to even. The basic idea here is to double your wager
immediately after losing a bet. This is continued until the player makes a win
and recoups all losses and earns one unit. The system is based on the law of
averages and basically states that on a 50/50 bet such as a Color or Odds bet
in Roulette if one comes in eventually the law of averages states the other will
come in as well.
Warning: Always be cautious about the table maximum, because if by fluke you
loose a few times in a row you will not be able to bet more than the table maximum
and win your money back. In that case win back your money slowly. Always take
a close look at the house betting limits and you'll see the spread between the
minimum and maximum betting limits prevents the system player from doubling up
more than 6 or 7 times.
D'Alembert System -
One of the more popular Roulette systems, functions very similarly tom the Martingale.
Here the mathematicians law of averages is at work again, stating that if on
a 50/50 wager a bet comes in a numerous amount of times the law of averages will
balance this out and bring in it's opposite. Again, if we look at the Color bet
on a Roulette table, this system suggest that if the color red comes in a long
series eventually the law of averages will balance this out and the color black
will come ine many times as well. The D'Alembert system suggests that each time
a player loses they place an additional chip or unit on their wager and when
they win they take off an additional unit. Don't forget, in the long-run the
bank does have the advantage with the 0 and 00 on the table.
Well, with these strategies and tips, you should have a better understanding
