ROULETTE TIPS

Visual Tracking

Under ideal conditions the player has just two variables to determine: (1) the revolution during which the ball drops off the track, and (2) The position of the wheelhead when the ball drops.

Judging the revolution during which the ball will drop is simply an estimate of ball speed, which can be done in one of two ways. The first is a direct observation of how far the ball slows before it drops off the track. After watching several spins of the ball, some people can accurately judge when the ball is about drop. Actually it his a little more difficult than that because the judgement has to be made three revolutions in advance. That is the determination has to be that at a certain point in time the ball will drop after three more turns.

The Martingale

This dangerous sytem can dig you into a deep hole very quickly should you have a long string of losses. It is an easy system to understand.

You attempt to win 1 unit ($1/£1, or $5/£5, or whatever) on every sequence of the wheel. A \\\'sequence\\\', here, is any number of spins until you are a winner. Your first bet is 1 unit on red or black. If the bet is won, you start again at 1 unit. If the bet is lost , you double the next bet to 2 units. Winning at this stage gives you a win of 1 unit (1 unit lost followed by 2 units won). Should you lose again, then you double your bet again, this time to 4 units. And again, a win at this stage is of 1 unit (1 unit lost, 2 units lost and 3 units won). And so on until you win. Given a \\\'normal\\\' sequence it should not be too long before you register a win which covers your losses and provides a win of 1 unit.

Track the numbers

If a number repeats often within 100 spins you may have found a biased wheel that can turn the house advantage around to your favor. A biased wheel is one of only two true opportunities to overcome the casino\\\'s advantage. The other is described next.

Croupier Signature

Croupier signature is when an experienced croupier spins the wheel and releases the ball with approximately the same speed and trajectory consistently from spin to spin. As long as there is little or no deflection from the metal stops on the wheel, it is possible to predict where the ball will drop. At least within a particular area on the wheel.

Avoid the 5 bet

Never take the five number bet (covering 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3), as it has the least profitable payback of all the bets. The house advantage is 7.89 percent.

Most played numbers in roulette »

Dear Mark, What is the most played number on a roulette wheel? Brian P. Ask roulette dealers and a majority will tell you the number 17, followed by the zeros (0, 00). Foremost reason for 17: It sits right in the middle of the layout and everyone can reach it. Watch movies on gambling and another number emerges. In three movies where roulette plays an integral part, Casablanca, the Sting, and Lost in America, the only number depicted was 22. Gambling thought of the week: "It's not luc...

Section Systems »

Dear Mark, I know that there's no casino in the world that would purposely allow the odds to favor me, the player. However, when I was a young lad, I once discovered a roulette bet that, for the life of me, has fooled me and anyone else I've asked into believing that the odds are now more than 50% in my favor of hitting a number. I'm hoping you can find the error of my logic, so I don't fool myself into betting my life savings into something that I can't help but think is nothing short of a s...

Roulette Winning Streaks »

Dear Mark, I believe in your theory that each spin of the roulette ball is an independent event. So betting streaks is futile. But leaving common sense behind for just a moment, is there any minute reason to bet a streak? And if so, with it, or buck the odds? Harry C. You know me well, Harry. You‹and, I hope, most readers‹recognize that no amount of past history (looking backwards from a streak) on a random, non-biased wheel predicts the outcome of the next spin. Each spin is, as you s...

I have frequently won a few hundred but put it back in, hoping for the big one. Am I being realistic or foolish? Dick M. Dick, granted that there's no law against being foolish, there are still two significant deficiencies in your playing strategy, and in view of your familial aim, one of the...

Does the size of a bet effect the odds? »

Dear Mark, Does the bet size ever influence the house advantage? For example, does in make any difference if you bet £5 on red in roulette or £500? Clay S. None whatsoever, Clay. Every single casino game has a built-in edge working for the house. This house edge does not discriminate against the size of a wager. With your example, the casino will hold the same 5.26% advantage on a red wager in roulette whether you bet £5 or £500. Friend of mine invented a game in which the dealer could...

Is Card Counting Allowed in Casino Blackjack? »

Dear Mark, Is card counting illegal? Frank K. Frank, is using your brain illegal? No. Unfortunately, when it comes to card counting, the casino would prefer you check your brain at the front door. So though not illegal, what the casino can and will do is bar the counter from playing and back you off the game. If you're going to play this cat and mouse game to gain a one percent plus advantage, expect a pit bull (boss) to come and pleasantly say, "Frank, we appreciate your patronage but ...
