Some home truths about roulette

[Adam Jhon]

If you want to make money playing at a casino, then you no doubt many of your friends have joked to you: put it all on the black, or red. Unwise decision of course, considering the risk behind playing it! If you truly decided to risk a fortune when you playing at a casino, then you are in for a nasty shock and no doubt a lot of stress. Of course, many people do make money playing roulette – but these are the people who know how to walk away.

These days there are more places than ever where you can sit down and play roulette. Gone are the days where you had to walk into a casino to do so. Nowadays, people from all over the world can sign up at a online casino, and see if they can win. There are many strategies that have come about in roulette to help gamblers win – of course, in the long term, the casino has the edge and will win, but on the other side of the bet, there are winners and there are losers. Hopefully, you will become a winner.

There are some people who have tried to 'beat' the system. These sophisticated gamblers have used the aid of computers to calculate where the roulette ball will land. Some gamblers use computers to take advantage of a spinning roulette wheel to calculate exactly where the ball will land. This practice has become less common because most casinos and certainly online ones do not allow bets after the wheel has begun spinning.

In the past, there have also been gamblers who have observed roulette tables over time and noted a bias in the way they spin – the gamblers who have managed to take advantage have made millions and also forced the casinos to use tables that have been tested for bias. In online casinos, there is no such bias – all the betting is based against a random number generator, so there is no outwitting the casino. The only thing that you can do is to use your betting strategy to make sure that you walk out with money. There are many of these available. The most popular strategy that is used is the Martingale technique of doubling up after a loser. This strategy relies somewhat on the gamblers fallacy that you are more likely to get a red after a black has been hit. You will notice that some roulette tables can hit black several times in a row. Most gamblers think that this means that the next result is going to be a red, but in fact, each roulette spin is going to be entirely independent of each other. With 36 numbers and one 0 in European roulette, the odds of getting a black or a red are going to always be 18 out of 37. In American roulette with a double 0, then the odds are 18 out of 38. These odds are repeated on every single spin, irrespective of what has come before. If you want to be successful at roulette, you have to realise that it is your betting strategy and risk management that will make you a winner or a loser, not your predictions of what will come next. The only predictions that are worth making are on biased tables which sadly do not work with online casinos!

So next time you visit a casino, be sure to think about your betting strategy and concentrate less on your prediction!If you want to make money playing at a casino, then you no doubt many of your friends have joked to you: put it all on the black, or red.
