Online Roulette Strategies

Of all the games in a casino, roulette is one of the better choices you can make. This is mainly because of the odds it offers the players. All casino games have some type of house edge that makes the games unbeatable over the long run.

In this article you will find
• Different types of roulette betting
• Betting strategies
• Martingale strategy

For example, a game like Caribbean Stud has a house edge of over 10%. Most table games have a similar house advantage that makes these games difficult to win over the long run. Roulette in contrast has a house edge of around 2.7% on a single wheel spin. The best part about Roulette is that  by employing certain strategies you can improve your chances of winning. These Roulette strategies are both easy to use and effective.

Different Roulette Bets

One of first thing you want to do when playing Roulette is to choose the right bets. Whilst the single number and higher risk bets have a bigger payout, the chances of winning become much less. To further make these bets worse, the house edge goes up slightly.

The bets you want to focus on are the even money bets. These would be betting on red/black and the odd/even ones. Both bets pay out even money and have the best chances of winning.

Betting Strategies for Roulette

One of the most effective ways to beat Roulette is by using a betting strategy. One of the more popular and proven methods is what’s called the Martingale strategy. This uses a simple rule while placing bets to mathematically ensure you will at least break even.

The method is easy to use and only requires you to do two things. When you lose a bet, you should double your previous bet until you win again. When you win, you go back to betting the original amount.

Here is a quick example of how this would work:

You start by wagering $5 on black. You win this bet; therefore you keep the bet the same. On the next spin you bet the same amount on black and lose. Your next bet has to be for $10 since you lost the previous one. You lose again and this time must place a bet of $20. You finally win this time and get all your money back. You can now start betting the initial $5 again.

In the example above you can see that we not only double the first lost bet, you continue each following bet until you win. You can also see that y using this system we have won $5. We won our first bet gaining us $5. We lost two in a row then won all those bets back by doubling each bet to give us a gain of $5.

As long as you keep to the rule of doubling your lost bets and keeping your winning bets the same, you will always at least break even.

Research and practice before playing
