When playing either form of online roulette, it is worth remembering that this game carries with it a relatively high house edge, meaning that the casino has the odds well and truly stacked in its favour. Having said this, as with any gambling game you as the player must rely on luck to win and also have the sense to know when to stop gambling should you find yourself on a losing streak. Here are some further tips to help you to get more from the game of roulette and make your session an enjoyable one.
Avoid any kind of betting system. Roulette is purely a game of chance and despite the much quoted scientific theories and probability laws, they all fail on a game of chance like roulette.
One popular theory is that when playing even money bets such as red/black, if the ball has landed on red a certain number of times, then it is more likely to land on black the next time. Unfortunately this is not true, despite claims of the law of averages because each spin of the wheel must be treated as a completely independent bet that is not influenced in any way by any spins that have gone before.
That means that, ignoring the house zero pockets, either a red or a black number has an exactly equal chance of coming up on every new spin, regardless of what has gone before. So even if red has come up a dozen times in a row, on the next spin there is still no more or less than a 50/50 chance it will come up red again.
If you remember only that one tip, you will get much more from the game and not waste money on following that particular popular gambler’s fallacy.
Lastly, one of the best tips you can get is that because it only has the one “zero” pocket, the European version of roulette has a lower house edge than its American counterpart which has two. So if the two versions are offered at your chosen online casino, play the European version to have a slightly better chance of winning!
