How Does Roulette Work

Using Roulette Systems to Win

Roulette is a random game where past spins have NO bearing on future spins. This means that systems that by their very nature use mathematical equations that take into account previous data to determine future events, cannot be used to win roulette. Don’t be fooled by the saying, “odds are it’s gotta be (red/black) this time because, look how many times it’s hit (red/black) already. They put that previous data to lure in quick bets to trick the players into thinking past results have bearing, they don’t!

The Secrets Of Electronic Roulette. There are no secrets to electronic roulette that are foolproof, just as there are no secrets to any roulette. Now, different roulette strategies can work for you, such as the Martingale, or the Fibonacci Sequence. No method will ensure 100% success, but many cases demonstrate how to win at roulette. Roulette is a drain on your wallet simply because the game doesn’t pay what the bets are worth. With 38 numbers (1 to 36, plus 0 and 00), the true odds of hitting a single number on a straight-up bet are 37 to 1, but the house pays only 35 to 1 if you win! Ditto the payouts on the combination bets.

This means that you cannot use a roulette system to guarantee a win or beat roulette odds. There are, however, many people who swear by roulette systems (martingale etc). These systems do provide a methodical approach to betting which can help you to play by a system, as opposed to emotion. As long as you keep in mind that these systems cannot guarantee you to win or beat the odds of the game, they can be useful in managing your betting strategy and they may be worthwhile for you to use.

The ultimate reason systems do not work is they tell you to bet more until you win – but the casino always has a cap on how much you can bet – and likely do you.

Play European Roulette

There are different variations of the game of roulette and simply by choosing a variation wisely, you can beat the odds of the game to a certain degree. American roulette has 38 numbered slots including the zero and the double zero, while European roulette has 37 slots including the single zero. The difference between the set-up of the two games, in terms of the number of slots on the wheel, influences your odds dramatically. The house edge in a game of American roulette is 5.26%, while the house edge in a game of European roulette is much lower at 2.63%.

If you’re playing at online casinos don’t play unless European Roulette is offered. On land based casinos they will put the European Roulette tables in the hard to find areas, if they have them at all. There’s a reason behind this trickery. I’m still amazed how many play American roulette when the only difference is that European roulette has worse odds, the addition of the (00). Do you want to lose 2.6% or 6% on every bet? Play European tables!

Play the En Prison Rule

When playing the game of European roulette, you should make use of the optional en prison rule. This rule states that if you place money on an even money bet and the ball lands on the zero, your bet is held over until the next spin. If you win your bet at that point, you will win back your bet and if you lose it at that point, you will lose your bet. By making use of the en prison rule, you can further beat the house edge and push it from 2.63% down to 1.35%.

Choosing your Bets

Make sure to choose your bets wisely. If you are playing American roulette, placing a bet on the five numbered bet has a house edge of 7.89% and should be avoided. You need to place bets according to your bankroll. Placing a straight up bet has odds of 37 to 1 and pays out at 35 to 1. Even money bets (odd or even, red or black, high or low) are much safer bets, but only pay out at 1 to 1 if you win. Make sure to manage your bankroll wisely and bet in a way that will allow you to maximize your opportunities to win and beat the odds. In the same vain, make sure to set limits for yourself. Set limits of how much you are prepared to lose, as well as a goal of how much you expect to win. Make sure to play according to your plan and stick to all the limits that you set yourself before you start to play. I know players that start with a bankroll of $20,000 (a lot to them) and they broke within 10 spins.

While these strategies to beat roulette seem simplistic in nature, so is the game therefore it is made for the recreational gambler who doesn’t want to learn lots of rules to play. Unfortunately the more rules, bets, and strategies the better your odds.

History of Roulette

The word roulette means “small wheel” in French. The exact origins of the game are unknown, but there is speculation based on historical games that are similar to the game that we know of as roulette. The use of a spinning wheel for gambling purposes can be traced all the way back to the Greco-Roman period.

It is also thought that French Dominican monks may have created the game. Another theory is that French mathematician, Blaise Pascal, invented the game in 1655. Roulette is also similar to the English game of E-O and the Italian game of Hoca.

Roulette Game Set-Up

The game of roulette consists of a roulette wheel with numbered slots and a roulette table with numbers corresponding to those on the wheel set up according to the bets that can be placed. The number of slots depends on the variation of roulette you are playing. The most common variations include European roulette which consists of the slots numbered 1 to 36, plus a single zero and American roulette which consists of the slots numbered 1 to 36, plus a single zero and a double zero.

Playing the Game of Roulette

Players must place their bets on the roulette table. The croupier releases a small ball into the spinning roulette wheel in the opposite direction to the wheel. Players are able to place their bets up until the time when the croupier calls out “no more bets,” which will be just before the spinning ball drops into a numbered slot. From that time, players are not permitted to touch their chips until all payouts for the game are completed.

Understanding Roulette Bets

There are a number of different bets that can be placed in a game of roulette and it is important to understand them in order to understand how to play the game. In a game of European roulette there are ten bets that can be placed, while American roulette offers eleven bets. The bets can be divided into inside bets and outside bets.
