Roulette Strategy: Learn How to Beat the Casinos
Sep 25th
Anyone who has ever had the chance to play roulette will know by now that roulette is purely a game of chance. There is no skill involved in the game at all. Although there are a number of different options for betting on roulette, the average payout is the same no matter what option you choose. However, there are a number of roulette betting strategies that people have employed over the years.
The most widely employed roulette betting strategies are variations on the Martingale betting strategy. In basic terms this strategy involves making even money bets and doubling your bet each time you lose. This way the next time you win you’ll recover all your losses and make a profit equal to the original bet. While you can make a short term profit, this system can only result in loss in the long term. After only five consecutive losses your bet would have to be 36 times your original bet. Lose again and it would be 72 times. As you can see you can quickly end up in deep water. Also the potential winnings are not high in this system. For instance, if your original bet was £10 and you lose five times in a row you’d have to bet £360 on the sixth spin of the wheel. If you win you’ve only made £10 profit. If you lose then you’ll have to bet £720 on the next spin and you’d still only make £10.
Another method, described by an editor of the New York Times, Andres Martinez, is to divide your bankroll in to 35 piles. Then make a ’straight up’ bet on the same number 35 consecutive times. If your number hits then you win back your original bankroll. If your number doesn’t come up then too bad. It can take a long time to spin the wheel 35 times and this method can be a lot of fun. You might get some odd looks at first but it won’t be long before other players are putting bets on your number. The cheer that will go up if the number hits will raise the roof. Unfortunately there is only about a 60% chance of any one particular number coming up in 35 spins of the roulette wheel. It’s a good way to have fun but a bad way to win money.
Albert Einstein apparently said, “You can’t beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it.” However, there have been a handful of roulette players throughout history that have beaten the game with a system that works regularly. The systems that they used are based on the fact that roulette tables are not perfect and minor deviations in the angle it tilts or if it becomes slightly unbalanced can effect where the ball lands. This means that on certain roulette tables the ball is slightly more likely to land in come pockets than others. If you can work out which numbers these are then you might have a slight edge. Unfortunately most casinos have wised up to this and re-balance their wheels frequently.
Perhaps the first person to do this successfully was an Englishman called Joseph Jagger who hired six people to secretly monitor the roulette wheels at the Beaux-Arts in Monte Carlo in 1873. They watched for about two years and discovered that one of the tables showed a clear bias in that some of the numbers came up more frequently than the rest. Jagger placed his bets accordingly and allegedly won US$300,000 in three days.
The casino tried to throw him by relocating the wheels, but when Jagger noticed that a telltale scratch on his favoured roulette wheel was not present on the table that now occupied its place he sought it out. He found it and began winning again. In the end the casino resorted to dismantling the wheels and rebuilding them every day. By this time Jagger had won an absolute fortune and left Monte Carlo for good. The story goes that Jagger invested his winnings in property and died a very wealthy man.

The Basic Rules Of Live Roulette Part 2
Sep 24th
When you play live roulette, you must remember that there are no rigid rules governing this game. The only thing you need to know when playing live roulette is what bets you should make and how to make them.
There are two basic bets that are open to you when you play live roulette: the inside bets and the outside bets. An inside bet is a wager on the particular number where the ball might land on the roulette wheel. Multiple wagers are allowed for the inside bet. An outside bet, on the other hand, is a wager on the position of the ball, not on the number it will land on. All outside bets are even and only one can be made for every spin of the wheel.
While we have two basic bets on live roulette, under those two classifications are many other types. The more wagers that you make on one spin of the roulette wheel, the lower the odds go for you and the possible winnings get higher.
The inside bets that you can make on a game of roulette are:
o Straight up. A straight up bet is a wager on any specific number on the wheel, from one to 36, as well as both 0 or 00 (or just 0 for the European roulette).
o Split. To make a split bet is to wager on two different numbers that are placed beside each other on the table.
o Street. A street bet means to make a wager on three different numbers located on the same row on the table.
o Double street. A double street bet is a wager on six numbers placed in two rows adjacent to each other.
o Corner bet. A bet made on four numbers placed in adjacent positions on the table is called a corner bet.
o Five number. A five-number bet is a wager that the ball will land on either the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2 or 3.
The following wagers are considered outside bets:
o Red or black. The numbers on both the roulette wheel and the table have either a red background or a black background. These numbers are evenly divided amongst these two colors. To make a red or black bet is to wager that the ball will land on a number with a red background or a black background, whichever is your choice.
o Odd or even. In making an odd or even bet, you get to predict if the ball will land on an even number or an odd number and wager on your choice.
o 1 through 18, or 19 through 36. To make this type of outside bet, you will have to make a wager on whether the ball will end up on any of the first 18 or the last 18 numbers on the wheel, whichever it is that you pick.
o Dozens. Betting on dozens is wagering on whether the ball will end up on the first 12 numbers of the wheel, the middle 12 or the last 12.
o Columns. To make a column bet is to predict and wager that the ball will land on any number in a particular column on the table.

Live Roulette Or RNG Roulette? What Works Best For You?
Sep 24th
The recent addition of live dealers to casino games like roulette, blackjack, and baccarat have been gaining in a lot of popularity throughout the world. While not all casinos offer games with live dealers, there are quite a few who have this new feature, and the number is growing daily. There are a lot of reasons to seek out casinos that have live dealers, such as the social interaction between the dealers and the players, or the ability to watch the game as it unfolds real-time. You will also find that the overall set-up of live games are much more realistic than those games that are governed by random number generators (or more commonly referred to as RNG). So, with all of the advantages that there are in playing live dealer casino games, why would you choose to play RNG games at all?
One of the main reasons that RNG roulette is so appealing to some casino players is the wide variety of games that are available in most casinos. Live dealer casinos may offer some variations of live roulette, like European Roulette or American Roulette. Some live dealer casinos offer additional live roulette tables that have higher table limits and appeal to their high roller player base. You will find, though, that RNG roulette will have many different types of games in addition to the more traditional roulette games.
One of the newer varieties of roulette is called “Mini Roulette“. This game is geared towards the new roulette player in learning some of the nuances of betting at the roulette table. The basic layout of Mini Roulette is much like that of European Roulette except for the fact that there are only half of the numbers on the board. There are only twelve numbers (colored red and black) and one zero (colored green). Since there are fewer numbers on the wheel, there are only three columns with four rows of numbers on the table. With this smaller version of roulette, you will find that you can take more time over your tactics since there are fewer options to think about and still have all of the fun.
You will also find RNG roulette games like Three Wheel Roulette, which has triple the action of classic European roulette, or Premier Roulette Gold, which will allow you to customize your table and bet layouts with your very own favorites. There is also a new roulette game out called Premier Online Roulette, which has been graphically designed to make you feel as if you are seated at a real roulette table. If you are more of a traditionalist, you will find that there are many casinos who offer French Roulette, complete with Vousins du zero, Tier, Orphelins, Final bets and Neighbour best incorporated into the game.
As the software evolves, roulette, blackjack, and baccarat games are becoming more adept to the needs of the players and even those games that do not have live dealers still try to make the experience as professional and realistic as possible. With all of the games that are available today, even the pickiest players are sure to find the game that suits them the best. Remember to keep it fun and the best of luck to you!

Sure Way to Beat the Roulette Table – Does it Exist?
Sep 24th
In short, No. There is no perfect system out there. There are a lot of people out there that wants you to believe that there is. The awful truth about these people is they are after your money. This makes all of their advice invalid.
Think about it. If there was a perfect casino system out there, how would the online casino’s not be going out of business. If you had to perfect system that made you several hundreds of dollars an hour, would you be giving it a way?
The systems
The thing about most of the casino beating systems is that they look so damn perfect on the surface. I have personally tried several that seemed like sure winners. Sadly they did not work over the long run. A system that looks great on the surface is the Fibonacci System is better than the Martingale because you will not go up in bet size as fast. The system is simple. You bet on something that gives you your money back 3 times. Each time you lose you add the two previous bets together. This means if you start off with a $1 bet, you will bet 1+1 on the next bet and 1+2 on the bet after that.
The system is will eventually fail. At one point you will lose to many times in a row and hit the bet limit or simply run out of money.
The Perfect System
As I wrote earlier, the perfect system is not out there. The system you need to find is a system that simply doesn’t keep doubling your money each time you loose. All these systems fail in the end. What you need is a low risk system that tips the odds in your favor. There are no sure winners, but there are systems that work.
Personally I play a system where the max bet is $16. This system is not fool proof. Sometimes I actually lose, but one thing is losing a total of $31, and another thing is losing your entire casino bankroll.
This system is making me an average of $25 an hour. This might not seem like a lot when you compare it to all the false promises of making several hundreds an hour, but unlike these systems, the risk is actually low, and when it happens once in a blue moon that you loose, you will not have lost all your money.
On my site you can see my reviews of the many systems out there that does NOT work.

What Is The Good Thing About Roulette?
Sep 23rd
The Good Thing About Roulette Is:
1. Everybody can play it (so as long as they are not under age, of course)
2. Anybody can play it (so as long as they are not under age, yet again)
3. It is easy to learn
4. It can be played at any time of the day (if you play it online for instance)
5. It can be played at the weekends (online and offline)
6. You can have fun playing it, if played in the right context
7. You can play from the comfort of your home, in the company of friends and family
8. When playing from home you have total control against any unwanted distractions
9. Live Roulette TV game shows are broadcast without any interruption without the concern about the quality and speed of an Internet connection
10. The Good Thing About Roulette Is: Whatever you find good about it… can you think of any more good things about Roulette?
Yes, the not so good things will be covered too, which is a must, do you agree? As most things have opposites and you need to know what they are to steer well clear of them.
But for me, using a few rules I have created, it was only the other morning I thought I would play a game of Roulette using the TV version and I easily got to Stage 9.
Are you wondering what Stage 9 is?
The Roulette Probability System, will reveal that piece of information.
So, like all things… using creativity to make the most of what to do is always necessary and after studying what Roulette is all about, I have come to the conclusion that it is a very intelligent game, which if played intelligently can produce small and steady profits.
And as I have so often said, if one were to take the time to ‘Think’ about how to play Roulette, one would do pretty well.
Chat Soon!

P.S. And you know what another good thing about Roulette is? Which is what I amazingly forgot to mention and which is also the main reason you might want to play Roulette in the first place, is this: “You can make a fair amount of money from playing Roulette, if you happen to play in a ‘Disciplined’ and controlled manner”.
