Improving the Odds in Live Roulette
|
There is no fail-safe system that you can use to guarantee that you will win at live roulette every time that you play. Since this is such a random game of chance, there is very little that you can do to improve your chances to win. There are, however, a couple of ideas that can help you stay in the game longer and improved your odds of winning against the house.
First of all, placing wagers on the outside bets of a live roulette table can make the probability of winning higher. You will have a much better chance to win an even money bet, like red or black, than you would if you were to place you wager on a single number. Of course the payout isn’t as high, but you will win more often.
It is also a good idea to look for casinos that allow “surrender” or “en prison” rules. This rule only applies to outside, even money bets at a live roulette table. If the winning number is zero (or double zero in the US), then your bet is “imprisoned” through the next spin. You cannot move the bet to another spot on the table, nor can you remove it. When the ball is spun again and the winning number is announced, if the ball lands on your color, then you win as normal. If not, then the bet is removed from the table and belongs to the house. “Surrender” actually cuts the house edge in half, down to 1.35%, so not all casinos are eager to implement this rule.
One of the systems that seems to work well with live roulette is the Martingale System. This also works well with outside bets, but not so well on inside bets. After placing your wager on an outside bet, if you win, then take your winnings and continue playing with your original bet. If you lose, then bet on the same spot but double your wager. You keep doing this until you win. Although you should be able to get your money back at some point, this system really is set up so that you are playing not to win but to recoup all of your lose
s.
There are some drawbacks to the Martingale System that you need to be aware of before you decide to try it. With this system, if there is an extended losing streak, you could reach a point where you exceed the table limits for the maximum wagers. When this happens, it will become impossible to get back all of your loses on a single wager. This system works best with an unlimited bank roll and where the casino has no maximum bet at the table.
