Roulette - The Best Betting Strategies

A famous scientist once said that the only way to win in the game of roulette is to cheat. That practically sums up how difficult it is to figure out how to come up with the best game plan and strategies to beat the odds. There are many groups who present so-called roulette systems that can help you determine the best possible strategy to win the game. It raises some doubts as there really is no single best strategy in roulette. It is just a matter of luck and some skills in bet distribution.

One good strategy is to bet on the red slots. You keep on betting for several spins on the red spaces hoping that in any of those spins the ball will eventually land on them. All in all there are eighteen red slots out of the thrity-eight on a roulette table. Using mathematical computation by dividing eighteen by thirty-eight gives us a probability of 47.37 percent. That means there is an almost 50 percent chance of the ball landing on a red slot.

Therefore it shows that, if you were to keep on playing roulette thirty-eight times, there is a 99 percent chance the ball will eventually rest on a red slot at least ten times. There is an 83 percent probability it will land on red at least 15 times. The break-even point is half of the spins so it still is ver hard to win just by placing your bets on the red slots.

Another type of betting strategy is to bet multiple times. This is a combination of the red and the odd bets. You start the game by placing a bet on the red and the odd slots. You may also choose the black and even slots. You need to consider each bet as a separate one. If you lose one bet you need to double it and when the other bet wins, you need to set it back to one. There is almost a 25 percent chance of winning both the red and the odd bets. The downside is you need to have a lot of cash in your pocket to keep up with this strategy.

There is also what they call the dozen bet which has two versions: single dozen bets and double dozen bets. In single dozen bet, you use a constantly accumulating stake starting from the roulette table minimum up to the table maximum. The goal is to use a single dozen bet to win before the stake ends. Variations include betting on the same dozen to appear after two consecutive appearances, betting on the dozen that has appeared most in the last couple of spins, betting on the dozen for its first appearance. The double dozen bet uses two dozen bets and half the stake of the single dozen bet.

There are still other strategies you can employ but so far these are the your best bets. They have the highest probabilities and chances are you just migth get lucky.
