Advice on Roulette?

Question

I've recently started roulette gambling and was interested to see if anyone could give any helpful tips? I only gamble with small stakes! Thanks!

Answer 1

I usually place my bets on the corners of four numbers (So for example, I cover the corner 1,2,4,5.)  I place 5 of these at once, cover 20 numbers.  It doens't hit every time, and it only pays 1 to 9 (I think, it's been a while), but I've had a little success with it.  Throw in the occassional single number bets if I'm up big.

Answer 2

1. Remember that the ball has no memory - each result is completely independent and random.

So if Red has come up 10 times in a row the odds of it coming up again are exactly the same - it ISN'T more likely that Black will come up next.

2. Never play American Roulette (ie with Zero and Double Zero) - only ever play European Roulette

3. If you play online, Betfair casino has a No Zero Roulette, so the payout is 100% (they don't expect to win or lose overall) The table limits are tight, but it's worth a go.

Answer 3

You will hear a lot of people disagree but, I have played roulette for over 20 years and, although my success started a pure luck, I believe there are circumstances that lend well to a system that can turn a good profit quickly.

As with most successful systems, it takes patience, practice, discipline, a nice bankroll, time and (of course) a little luck.

The thing most people don't understand about roulette is that it is not as random as it looks. A good dealer can hit a number, or at least make it close most of the time. Safeguards are put in so players cannot take advantage of these things, but the dealers get lazy and bored and they slip up. It is completely feasible to walk up to a table hit two of four, or three of five rolls and moving on without anybody thinking anything about it.

The first key is to know the game-- Know, first, the wheel and then the table. You need to know every number's position-- frontwards and backward. For example, you, specifically, need to know what number is 12 spaces to the right (clockwise) of 13-black and the 2-3 numbers directly to the right and left of that number, and where those numbers are on the table to get your bets down. You need to know this quick-- within 5-10 seconds and, most importantly, you need to look like you are not doing it. More on this later.

Once you know that wheel, grab a piece of paper and a pencil. Go to your local casino and sit at the bar where you can see the roulette table. Look at the board that they post all the rolled numbers and jot them down. As you look at the numbers picture where they are on the wheel. Look at the progression.

You may see that one number is 8 to the left of the one before it and it was 7 to the left of the one before it and it was 10 to the left of the one before it. It may not happen all the time, but it will happen eventually.

See-- what happens is: the dealer gets in a groove. The wheel continues to spin at, basically, the same speed. The dealer grabs the ball and habitually spins it the same way (the same timing and same speed) over and aver again. Now there are things that throw him out of sinc from time to time but, especially at the end of a shift, if they are good and consistent, they often fall into this groove.

Your object is to find it and jump on it. If a dealer is rolling numbers 7-10 to the left of the previous number 3 out of four times, put a 5-dollar check on the numbers 6-11 left for a roll or two. If you hit, keep on going. If you miss--bail.

You may have to wait a while for the dealer to hit the groove. That is why it is important to have a decent bankroll and a lot of patience. Just bet the min until you find it. It also helps if the table is crowded and others are winning because then all of the attention is not focused on you.

It's not foolproof, but they wouldn't call it gambling if it was. It has worked for me and it seems so simple when you really think about it. I wish you success
