Roulette is a fairly basic, straightforward game. Its basic principle
is quite simple-you are betting that the number or numbers you choose
will come up on the next spin of the wheel. It is a very simple game to
learn, even though the scattering of chips throughout the layout may seem
intimidating. One of roulette's major attractions is its large payout
of 35 to one for a "straight up" number win. Although these
high odds are attractive, keep in mind that there are thirty eight possible
numbers on which to bet, which means that the payout should be 37 to 1
(one way to win out of thirty eight possibilities) The casino, thus,
maintains a 5.26 percent advantage over the players. In spite of it all,
roulette still remains a game of intrigue and fascination.
Played at a more leisurely pace than other casino games, especially craps,
roulette also requires less concentration that many other games of chance,
such as blackjack and Caribbean stud poker. The advantage to roulette
is that players can grind out long session of play with small stake, have
some fun, and perhaps hit a few numbers. It's a game of pure luck and
nothing more. However, if you incorporate some of the betting strategies
presented in this site, you could learn how to improve your winning chances-up
to 99.6 percent.
Often roulette players make wagers based upon their favourite numbers,
such as anniversaries and birth dates. You'll soon see why these kinds
of bets are not advisable. If your intention in playing roulette is to
win big, the this is not the game for you. But if you want to simply have
some fun, with the possibility of a 10 to 20 percentage return on your
investment (ROI), then by all means give it a try, but not until you have
examined all the betting possibilities and strategies. More systems have
probably been devised for beating this casino game than for any other
and I will share several of them with you. Just remember that no matter
which method you choose to follow, be sure to adhere to the basic money
management principles discussed on the site.
I enjoy playing roulette. I find it a relaxing change of pace form the
intense and often exhausting sessions at the crap tables. My success at
this game has always been due to the fact that I observe strict money
management principles, and always leave the table when I am ahead.
Because of the heavy odds against the roulette player, the longer you
play, the more you will lose. Therefore I strongly urge you to consider
what I call strategic gambling a "hit and run" betting method.
Simply put, if you are fortunate enough to hit on a winning streak, and
undoubtedly you will, many times, take your predetermined ROI percentage
(20 percent is a very reasonable number) and put it aside along with your
initial stake. If you want, continue gambling with the remaining 80% of
your winnings. And if by chance you continue winning, follow the same
method. The probability is that you will probably lose those winnings,
especially if you are wagering even money bets or those that pay 2 to
1. Later examination of the betting sequences will help you understand
why.,
