Do you have a strartegy for roulette???

Question

i understand that the odds are in the house's favour with 0/00 etc and there are no actual strategies blah blah blah so please dont preach.

but when you play, do you personally have a set strategy?

(yeah not to lose is a shmuck answer)

Answer 1

Play with money set to be lost. Gone within an instant.

I do not gamble rent money or grocery money or general bills due.

Know your $$$ limit budget when gambling.

Strategy intuition. The green looks good. Single Zero bet. Then the middle row. Then my age number. Then my birthday number. Then red. Then bet on Black. Then todays date. Then walk-off with any wins.

Answer 2

The best way is to play 2 out of 3 because you cover 66% of the board.  You have a higher chance than blackjack or any other game because they pay you 2 for 1.

Answer 3

There is no optimal long-term strategy for winning in roulette.

There are only strategy for playing roulette. Any strategy must include a player's personal criteria (playing time, amount of money at the player disposal, level of acceptable risk, and so on), all of which make it subjective.

Any betting system will fail in the long run. Whether you bet by using an elaborate system or just by placing simple bets, you might win in the short or even medium run, but you will cumulatively lose in the long run. The best approach is to win enough early on with one great hit, then use an appropriate money management formula to give you the time and money to make the next big hit.

Still, mathematics recognizes a strategy in roulette, with regard to winnings and losses: the strategy of choosing. The act of choice is a strategy and this includes choosing a betting system and even choosing not to play roulette. I recommend a good book on mathematics of roulette: "Roulette Odds and Profits: The Mathematics of Complex Bets".

Answer 4

The one I use requires two people and a little bit of patience, but like everything in gambling nothing is ever certain especially in roulette.

This is a really basic stategy, for it you'll need to find a second hand to be the "spotter" (unless you can move hella fast), and you are then the "placer". Some casino's are very strict about their 1 player 1 seat rules so that's kind of hit and miss.

The next leg is where time and patience takes place, watching for a table with a roller who is complacent or bored (consistency) IE: he generally throws with the same power each time. Seperate the wheel into 3 immobile sections, the sections remain the same no matter the facing of the wheel or where he starts on it.

This is where the spotter comes in to play, based on the section the roller seems to hit on the most (this is the consistency you where sccoping out for before) he calls out the numbers that fall into it accordingly (the #s he calls will depend on where the roller starts the throw). The placer then puts down the chips as he hears them.

You usually don't want to play to many #'s or to many chips at a time so you increase you profit margin, and remember to play 1/4s as well to get better coverage and profit.

May not sound like much but me and my friend did it all the time and from 20 bucks from each of us, regularily walk out up 300dollars each.

on a side note some players get really pissed seeing you do this, but are you there to make friends, or are you there to get paid?

Answer 5

If i were to play, which i dont because as you said there is no strategy that can beat it.

I would play across the grid in two directions with the minimum bet, a bet on 1/3rd gogin one direction, and a bet on 1/3 goign another direction.  I would do this because most often when playing this way, you will not fall far from the statistical losing curve and go broke in only a few bets.  And you will be able to play for a long period of time most likely before you went broke.

Answer 6

I bet my favorite numbers and spread my chips out to cover a lot of area. Seems to work for me. I've very lucky at roulette.

Answer 7

I like to bet on black or red. It doesn't always work, so you just double your bet. Roulette is random but betting on red after 10 blacks usually wins for me.

Answer 8

I play 2 of the 3 rows. This gives you a 66% chance of winning, because it pays 2 to 1. For example if you bet 100 on the 1st and 100 on the second row, and the second row hits, you lose the 1st row bet, but he pays you 200 for the win, plus the chip you had on the table. So you make 100 bucks. I have pretty good luck with it, however, if you lose both bets, it hurts.

Answer 9

My Strategy -

Don't play. Seek game with better odds.

Your welcome.

Answer 10

If I played I would play 17,20,32,0

Why you ask,  because every time I see the board of past #'s they always seem to be on it.

But I always pass to go play dice, better odds, more action.

Answer 11

My strategy for roulette is to not play.  There is no strategy.  You can't predict randomness, and trying to only makes you look sad.

Answer 12

No, I tend not to sit down at a roulette table.  But anytime I am in a casino, I always make one $100 bet on black before I leave.  If I'm drunk, I sometimes let it ride a second time if I win.

Answer 13

It's great you all contribute to my monthly bonus which for your information was $15, 670 last month. Thank you all.....

Answer 14

I found this.

Answer 15

yeah not to lose

Answer 16

Martingale is a great strategy, start low on one number double it each time you lose, eventually you will see a profit, check out the link I added it describes it better than I can :D

Answer 17

While you should ultimately lose a lot when you play, in my mind the best way to play is to play one number until you get it.

The chances of hitting your number are 38:1, but you only get paid 36 when you win. However, your odds of hitting the number before you end up spending the entire 36 are much greater. If you play one number 38 times, you should technically get it once. As long as you hit it before your 37th time, then you should quit with the profit. In which case, the odds are heavily in your favor. This can be applied to any of the bets, I believe, but one number bets are the simplest with the most potential profit. Say you hit it on your 17th try; you still win over double your money, and get to play much longer than a single 50/50 bet.

Although, if you ever play again you'll inevitably end up losing what you made, and there is that chance you can end up losing every bet. Usually, though, I'll play one number (I like 25) along with a 50/50 (er...18/20) like black. I expect to lose it all eventually, but you don't play roulette for profit.
