Roulette Strategy

Hello Blogsphere!

As I said I have come with an article for you all this morning, it's about roulette strategy and will be an especially helpful for beginners. It does go into the differences between American and European roulette, something you defiantly need to know if your taking a gambling holiday this Christmas. The article has been granted to me by WassOnline, please check out their site if you have time and join in their poker community.

I have not been especially well this weekend, far too tired and colded up. Hopefully will be better soon :( I am going to shop for bits and bobs for the house tonight but going to try and get home quick and get some sleep.

Hope you all remembered to change the clocks!

Learning to play roulette is not very difficult. But coming across a strategy that is really good is not easy. The reason for this is because manipulation is not much of a possibility in a game of roulette. Being a rigid and non-interactive game, lowering the house edge in order to win the game is not possible. Many people will give you as many strategies, but you would do good to follow the pointers given below to increase your chances of winning.

It would be better to choose the European Roulette wheel in place of an American Roulette wheel. The former has 37 pockets while the latter has 38 pockets. Again, the American Roulette has an additional pair of 0’s. All this has made the American version more difficult to win than the European one which has only one zero and it’s unpopularity is apparent among people in North America.

Following the “En Prison” rule is the second strategy you could follow. This rule states that a player may place an even-money wager, with the ball falling in the 0 pocket. In this case, neither will the bet be given back to the player nor will that particular betting round be over. This particular state is known as ‘staying in prison’. The wager will be kept by the board till the next spin. This next spin will be the decider of what will happen to the bet. In the case of the player winning this spin, he will get his money back, without earning anything extra. On the other hand, if the player loses, then he loses his bet money altogether. Again, if this spin brings results in the ball falling in the 0 pocket, then the betting money will be in the board’s custody and the whole process continues till it’s fate is decided. Keep this strategy in mind if you want to have a better chance of winning.

The next strategy you can use at a casino is to find ‘surrender’. This rule says that after the spin if you see the ball falling in the 0 or the 00 pocket, you will not completely lose the bet but will get back half of the total amount.

And last but not the least, you should decide on the sum of money you will be playing before starting. If you have reached that limit, it’s best to quit instead of carrying on in spite of losing.

The above strategies will help you evolve into a better player and increase your chances of winning.
