Roulette Rules and Strategy
Roulette
As a general rule, the easier a game is to understand, the worse your odds, or conversely, the larger the house advantage. Roulette is no exception. The wheel consists of numbers 0 through 36 in addition 00 in most American casinos. This 00 increases the house advantage slightly, so you are better off if you find a wheel without it. However, the difference is less than significant. The house advantage is around 5.3% for roulette.
The numbers on the wheel appear to be randomly placed, but they are not. The numbers are carefully places so that the numbers on any one section of wheel add up to the numbers on any other similarly sized piece of wheel. Unfortunately, this fact doesnt lend itself to any exploitable advantage.
Roulette Strategy
Knowing what does not work is often just as important as knowing what does. As you may have noticed with other random games, the past is not an indicator of future events. Roulette wheels often have a screen with slot numbers the ball has fallen in recently. Any slot has an equal chance of the ball falling into it, regardless what has just happened. Keeping track of this is little more than a distraction.
The one maneuver in roulette that could be considered a strategy is the surrender rule. Surrender only works for even money wagers such as odd/even or red/black. This rule allows you to recoup half of your bet if the ball lands on 0 or 00. This is as close as you will get to a valid roulette strategy.
