Using Roulette Systems to Win

Roulette is a random game where past spins have NO bearing on future spins. This means that systems that by their very nature use mathematical equations that take into account previous data to determine future events, cannot be used to win roulette. Don’t be fooled by the saying, “odds are it’s gotta be (red/black) this time because, look how many times it’s hit (red/black) already. They put that previous data to lure in quick bets to trick the players into thinking past results have bearing, they don’t!

This means that you cannot use a roulette system to guarantee a win or beat roulette odds. There are, however, many people who swear by roulette systems (martingale etc). These systems do provide a methodical approach to betting which can help you to play by a system, as opposed to emotion. As long as you keep in mind that these systems cannot guarantee you to win or beat the odds of the game, they can be useful in managing your betting strategy and they may be worthwhile for you to use.

The most popular roulette strategy, beautifully articulated by Eunice above, is the YANS, otherwise known as the You-Are-Nuts-System. It is characterized by throwing hard-earned money all over the layout, making almost every conceivable bet, not knowing that the more bets you make the more the house edge is grinding away at your bankroll. The real trick to roulette is to get lucky, then quit while you’re ahead. Every spin has a 1 in 37 (for European) or 1 in 38 (for American) chance of landing in a given pocket. Each spin is an individual trial with its own odds but, the longer you play, the more likely it is that you’ll fall into the probabilities that structure roulette. The answer is that short-term strategies do not work for roulette. They can either win over the long-term or they don’t. Either way, the house always has the edge. Roulette Streaks Make No Difference To Your Chances Of Winning. Sometimes in roulette, the ball will land on the same number twice, three times or more in a row.

The ultimate reason systems do not work is they tell you to bet more until you win – but the casino always has a cap on how much you can bet – and likely do you.

Play European Roulette

There are different variations of the game of roulette and simply by choosing a variation wisely, you can beat the odds of the game to a certain degree. American roulette has 38 numbered slots including the zero and the double zero, while European roulette has 37 slots including the single zero. The difference between the set-up of the two games, in terms of the number of slots on the wheel, influences your odds dramatically. The house edge in a game of American roulette is 5.26%, while the house edge in a game of European roulette is much lower at 2.63%.

If you’re playing at online casinos don’t play unless European Roulette is offered.

I’m still amazed how many play American roulette when the only difference is that European roulette has worse odds, the addition of the (00). Do you want to lose 2.6% or 6% on every bet?
