Roulette Strategy
Roulette Stragegy
Roulette is a game based on chance. If you get a little lucky you win. It's as simple as that.
Just as you can't predict the outcome of a dice throw, you cannot derive what number will appear on the roulette based on any previous spins. But this however, does not mean that there are no means to help you become a better roulette player.
The Curse of Martingale
The Martingale system is probably the most famous of all roulette systems. And also probably one of the most bogus. It suggests that every time you lose, you should double your bet and thus sooner or later you will cover the loss and win a small amount every time. Let us put this straight. It does not work. Unless perhaps if you are Bill Gates. If anything it probably worsens your chances of winning. So does ALL mathematically based roulette systems. So drop them.
Don't Play Double Zero
A lot of American based roulettes feature the double zero layout. A single zero layout vastly increases your chance of winning. Why play with two house-friendly zeroes when you COULD be playing with only one?
Manage your Bankroll
This is the most important aspect of roulette play. Because one of the most fascinating features of roulette is that it is so relatively easy to win a small amount. This will affect your judgement, as no one keeps winning forever. So it is of the outmost importance that you decide beforehand what your goal is!
If you have $100 to play for maybe you think winning $50 bucks is pretty nice. When you do, stop.
Play Through
Another bankroll management trick is to “play through” your entire stack of say $100. You decide what type of bets you would like to make (number bets, outside chances bets or both) and play consistently the same fixed amount bet every spin. No matter if you win or lose each spin you continue the same kind of betting until you’ve played for the initial $100. Hopefully by then you will have collectively won more than that during the spins!
Fight Fire with Fire
Although roulette is a game based on randomness, it is a very good game. A single zero roulette is a better game than most other casino games. But you must keep in mind that it is random. Most people sometimes lose because they can't help themselves tracking patterns that aren't really there. “Seven red numbers in a row, the next number just GOT to be black!”
Based on that they make too big a bet on black. But there is no truth to it. It might as well be 50 red numbers in a row!
So the best way to keep focused and have the chance of winning decent is to fight fire with fire. If the outcome of a spin is random, why not make the income (the bet that is) totally random too?
Roll a dice, ask someone, copy the outcome of a previous session or make a list before you play of the order of bets you are going to make and stick with it.
Never try to outsmart the roulette, because then it can't outsmart you!
