These tips will help you maintain the Casino's advantage to the lowest.
The American Roulette has 38 numbers (included the 0 and 00), which means the casino has an advantage of 5,26%. The French Roulette has 37 numbers (0 included) and the casino's advantage is 2,7%. The obvious conclusion is that you have to play the French Roulette, since the casino's advantage goes down almost to the half.
Try to find a casino that offers the option of “En Prisión”. This option reduces the casino's advantage to the half. The American Roulette ends up with an advantage of 2, 63% and the French one with a 1,35% advantage. The option En Prisión is to be used when the number that comes up is green (0 or 00 in the American, 0 in the European). If a green number comes up, you have 2 options:
- Give in half of what you've bet.
- To imprison your bet. Which means the amount of money you bet is taken off the table until the wheel is spun again. If in the next spinning the imprisoned number comes up, the amount of money is given back to the player with no gains. If he loses, the bet is definitively lost. If a green number comes up again, the player has the two first options.
Avoid making the five numbered bet (00, 0, 1, 2 and 3). This bet gives the Casino an advantage of 7, 98% while any other bet gives it a 5,26% advantage. It'll be better to make any other bet.
Other Tips to take into consideration
Watching the wheel for hours looking for a defect that can help us won't work, casinos keep their roulettes in perfect conditions, checking regularly how they work.
There's no roulette intended to give the player a significant advantage. The more the player loses, the more he bets, so that when he wins, he gets only a bit more than he has bet. This could work if the game didn't have advantages for the casino and there wasn't a top on the maximum bet. However, this is not the case, so it doesn't work.
Decide what number you want to bet and don't change it with every spin. The wheel will select a number after so many times, so you'll have more chances if you keep the bet in the same number than if you change it. Some players study the game and wait for a number that hasn't come up for some time and bet for it, hoping it'll come up soon.
Handle your money considering an acceptable winning or losing margin. If you reach one of the margins, quit playing for the day.
