Roulette is one of the most popular
table games at casinos all over the world. It is easy to play and can be played
on luck alone, but if you are looking to develop your own strategy, then it is
essential that you first master the basics, and
roulettepro.com has put together the
most fundamental tips that you should be aware of to help you get started.
What is the Payout?
The casino knows what gets paid out
for each bet, and the croupier working your table also knows but do you? It
makes sense to keep an eye on the payout numbers to make sure they are playing
fair and quickly keep track of your wins and losses. Here are the basic bets to
get you started. |
|
- Straight Up (betting on one number) pays out
35-1
- Split (betting on two adjacent numbers) pays out
17-1 (only one needs to be right)
- Corners (betting the corner of 4 numbers) pays out
8-1 (only one needs to be right)
- Columns, Dozens (betting on groups of 12 numbers)
pays out 2-1
- Odds, Evens, Red, Black (not 0 or 00) pays out
1-1

The Odds are
Different Some people fall into the trap of thinking that the payout is
also the odds offered, but that is not entirely true. For example, as we just
learned the payout on a straight up bet is 35-1, the odds of actually getting
the single number are 37-1 on an American roulette wheel because of the two
green 0 and 00 options giving 38 possible sections. With a European wheel with
only one Zero the odds are 36-1. It pays to learn all of the odds as inside
bets are much less likely than outside bets, but conversely pay out more
money.
Stay Focused
The table can get loud and busy if a
lot of people are playing, which for some people is why they love online
casinos, but either way, you should stay focused on the game. It pays to watch
the numbers that come before and see what numbers are classed as hot or cold.
You also need to place your bets at the correct time; the croupier will call
for bets to be placed and then close the bets when ready to start the game. The
best players are those that keep their attention firmly on the game at all
times.
Systems Arent Everything From time to time, you
will come across someone claiming they have cracked the system and know exactly
how to win. The most well-known systems are called the DAlembert and the
Martingale, and while both have some merit, the Martingale requires a large
bankroll and things can quickly get out of hand if you start gambling more
money than you can really afford. The DAlembert does not require such
cast jumps in money, but that doesnt always make it successful. The
bottom line is the wheel is randomised, and this is a game of chance, so
technically there is no way to beat a roulette wheel. It should
always be about having fun rather than getting hung up on strategies and losing
more than you can afford in the long run. |
