Roulette Advanced Strategy Dos and Don'ts

Advanced strategy system in roulette

Roulette is a game that has been found all over the world for centuries. It is also a game that appears on every major online casino site. The game itself is simple: Put chips down on the number, series of numbers, color or category of numbers that you like. If the ball lands in the niche on the wheel that corresponds with your choice, you win. As simple as it is, there are a few strategic dos and don’ts to consider.

Roulette Dos:

Look for a European or French Roulette Wheel

While all roulette wheels have one zero, American roulette wheels have another space for a double zero. This is true for both online roulette and live games. While this may not seem like such a large issue, it’s important to realize that the house edge in roulette comes from the zero. Bets are paid off at what their true odds would be if there were no zeroes, so the more zeroes, the worse it is for the player.

Look for En Prison Rules

The en prison and la partage rules mean that on an even money bet like black/red or odd/even, you do not automatically lose on a zero. If a zero should come up, the player will either get half his bet back or have it riding on the next spin, where he will get his full bet back if it wins. Which rule is in play depends on the online casino.

Don’t:

Play on an American Roulette Wheel

These are the wheels with the extra zero that should be avoided.

Play the Basket Bet

If for some reason you should find yourself playing on an American roulette wheel, avoid the basket bet, which is five numbers (0,00,1,2,3). The house edge is 7.89 percent on these bets. They are the worst bets on the layout.
