Roulette Betting Strategies and Tactics

There are many games that can be played at casinos. Most games have the odds stacked in the houses' favor. Despite this, there is one game that is primarily a chance or luck game. That game is roulette. Even though luck plays a heavy factor in a roulette players success, there are strategies to implement that can increase a players odds of winning.

There is a variety of betting strategies and roulette tips and tactics that players can use, depending on the amount of risk they are willing to take. Players can bet single numbers, groups or rows of numbers and even the colors of the board, which are red and black. Roulette tables also have a zero and double zero that the ball can land on. This tilts the odds a little more in the house's favor, but only slightly and shouldn't truly affect a players bets.

The first strategy is to bet the rows. There are three rows of numbers on a roulette table, and at the end of each row there is an option to bet the entire row. This bet will payout 2 to 1 so if you bet $5, then you will make a profit of $10 of off a winning bet. The strategy is to bet two out of three rows on each spin. This will increase your odds of winning to just under 65%. Unfortunately, your profits will be cut since you will always lose at least one of the two bets. Regardless, this strategy will give you some of the highest odds to win every round that any casino game offers. The board is also broken into 3 equal sections on the side of the board allowing players to bet 1-12, 13-24, or 25-36. The odds and profits remain the same, but can allow players to take advantage of a board that may be consistently producing higher or lower numbers.

Another strategy players can utilize to their advantage is playing corners. Players can place bets at the intersection of 4 numbers, allowing them to win at 8 to 1 odds if one of the four numbers hit. Strategically playing corners throughout the board can allow a player to cover nearly all of the board, which increases the odds of hitting a winning number. Most players who use this strategy will also place a single bet between the two zeros so that even if one of those two wildcard numbers come out, players will still earn 16 to 1 on the bet, making most of their money back, or even a small profit. A good way to increase your winnings with this strategy is to pick a section of the board you are confident about and play multiple corners. This gives players the opportunity to double, triple or even quadruples their winnings from a single spin.

These strategies can also be combined. Another way to multiply your winnings is to play several numbers while also implementing these tactics. An additional $5, spread over 5 numbers, may take a little away from your profit if the number doesn't come out. But if it does hit, then your winnings increase vastly for that spin. Overall, this bet is just a bonus to go with these other two strategies.

Roulette is a fun and fast paced game, easy enough for anyone to learn and play no matter their casino gambling experience. Like all casino games, there is risk involved. Despite this, playing the board strategically can increase players’ odds of winning and maximizing their profits.
