Get Most out of Roulette

Unlike poker and blackjack, roulette is a pure game of chance rather than a combination of skill and chance. Of course, it helps if you know the rules and the different bets, player odds and payoffs, but in the end, Lady Luck plays a supreme role in the outcome. Peruse this collection of tips and tricks for maximizing your chance at winning Lady Luck’s heart at the roulette table.


What Factors Contribute to Your Luck?

Before we look at specific tips, it’s important to know what factors contribute to your overall luck:

  1. We all have hot and cold days. If you’re having a lucky day, that luck will probably extend to the roulette table. Conversely, if you’re having an off day in general, expect the lack of luck to rear its head at the roulette table. It goes without saying that mental attitude is important whenever you enter a gaming establishment.
  2. If you know when to quit, that is, when to cut your losses and how to keep your winnings, you have a better chance at a positive outcome.

Roulette Tips and Tricks

  1. Try to win more money with fewer spins.
  2. Statistically speaking, previous outcomes are no indication of future outcomes. Each and every spin holds the exact same probability (odds) for an outcome. However, if you’re one to believe that previous outcomes indicate probable future outcomes, bet with the flow, otherwise known as streaks. Just remember that over the long haul, probability rules.
  3. When you hit a losing streak, exchange your chips for a smaller denomination, preferably $1. Then, play a few spins in the following manner: pick a number in the middle column, and paint the corners of the number. For example, you could select the black 29. Place a chip on each corner surrounding the 29. Then place a chip between the 0 and 00. You’ve bet five chips and covered eleven numbers. This gives you time to "take five," a quick breather without spending much money.
  4. The Five Numbers bet doesn’t make sense. It gives the house a ridiculous advantage of 7.89%. Do you want to hand the house an additional 2.63% edge just for the heck of it?
  5. Do you play single zero or double zero roulette? Player odds are significantly better at the single zero wheels.
  6. The surrender rule gives players slightly better overall odds. Find a game that offers the surrender rule.
  7. Find tables that allow the "en prison" rule. This rule reduces the house edge by 50% on even-money bets.
