How to Improve Your Odds at the Roulette Table

Roulette is one of the casino games where if you don’t know what you’re doing you could go broke very quickly without winning anything. Although roulette is a game based around luck there are still several ways for players to improve their odds when playing roulette. On any given spin the house has a roughly 5-6% edge over you which is pretty bad for the player. Let’s look at some of the ways you can improve your odds at the roulette table and at worst make your money last longer then if you had no clue about what you were doing.

• The outside bets on the online roulette table have the best odds of winning as you almost have a 50% chance of winning. You will want to stick to these bets until you begin learning more about the game and the strategies around picking inside numbers. The outside bets will allow you to limit how much you need to bet each spin and it will offer the best odds of winning money.

• If you bet on two outside bets each spin then you will have the chance to break even which is ideal if you want to make your bankroll last longer. Since the house doesn’t have that big of an edge on you, you’ll find that you will be able to break even most of the time. There will be some spins when you win both bets and some where you lose both, but as long as you keep an eye on how your stack is doing this strategy will work.

• If you can find a European Roulette wheel available then you should play that over the American Roulette wheel. The European wheel only has one zero whereas the American wheel has 2 zeros. This means the house has a bigger edge on you when you play on the American roulette wheel and not the European roulette wheel.

• Follow the patterns that start to appear on the board because they will typically help you find the best bets to make. For instance, if the past 6 numbers have been odd then it’s likely that the next number could be an even number. There is nothing to say it will be, but usually on the roulette wheel these patterns will break and you’ll make bank.

• If you don’t win a bet then it’s recommended that if possible you double up your last bet and bet on the same wager. For instance, you won’t normally see 5+ reds in a row being spun so if you notice that there has been 5+ red numbers spun in a row then you will want to bet on black. Typically it will only take 1-3 rolls before the pattern breaks so as long as you double up your bet you will be able to make money using this strategy. Your bankroll is going to be the sole factor which decides whether or not this strategy will be feasible for you.
