How to Increase Your Odds of Winning When Playing Online Roulette

Roulette, whether you play it online or offline, delivers unparalleled level of fun and excitement. For many players, however, the game can be very difficult to make a decent profit because of some factors. One of these is the casino advantage which is already deeply ingrained in the game. A strategy is yet to be made, invented, or formulated that could overcome the casino edge. But this can’t stop you from enjoying the game as well as earning cash. In this previous article, we discussed thoroughly Roulette House Edge and the reason why it can’t really stop you from winning.

Despite the presence of the casino advantage, which ultimately lowers your odds of winning in roulette, there are still ways that you can use to improve your chances.

For sure you might dismiss this statement as just another grandiose claim but you just hold on and you can find some truth behind it.

Let us establish first the fact that we cannot eliminate the house edge when playing roulette. Even if you manage to predict the upcoming result of a spin and bet on a straight up, the casino advantage still remains. It’s already in the game’s DNA.

However, you can increase your odds by considering these strategies:

  1. Spectate before you participate – depending on the rules of the casino, you may be allowed to sit out a few turns to watch a number of rounds take place as a spectator. This way, you can get that kind of “feel” of the table without actually losing money through trial and error.

This may only apply on live roulette games or those played at land-based casino: take note of how quickly each spin takes place. With this information, you can estimate on how long you make a well thought-of bet before the croupier said “no more bets, please.” Remember: rushed bets are wasted bets.

  1. Consider playing for free – playing roulette for free has many advantage not only for a novice player but also for those who are well-versed of the game. For the starters, playing with no money involved will somehow build up their confidence before they actually put in their real cash. Experts can also benefit with this offer because it’s a great avenue for them to test out newly-learned roulette betting system.

  2. Choose the Right Game – you may already have known it that roulette has a handful of varieties, each of which is equally exciting. However, they differ greatly when it comes to the odds of winning. We personally recommend, especially the beginners, to play European roulette and avoid the American version of the game. The latter variant holds a whopping 5.2% casino edge while it’s down by half on a European Wheel which has 2.6% only.
  3. Go French – if it’s offered in your website casino, opt for a French roulette game. In this post we discussed in detail why the French Wheel is probably the best roulette version there is. But basically, this variant features two amazing rules: En Prison and the La Partage. Both of which further decreases the house edge found in the European roulette (which is 2.7%) to 1.35%.
  4. Pick the Right Casino – the ground where you play matters most when it comes to the success or failure of your game. Be very careful when choosing the casino to play roulette with. Only play at a reputable casino that is duly licensed, friendly to its patrons, gives the right kind of bonuses, guarantees the safety and security of your account, and offers round-the-clock customer support. This guide should give you an idea on how to choose the best online casino.
