Live Roulette Strategy

When looking online for roulette strategies, you're likely to find quite a few different websites that seem to offer effective systems which will give you a higher winning ratio. The chances are these systems are just marketing schemes for that particular website, so the first piece of strategy advice is; Find un-bias strategy websites. These could be websites which advertise many casinos and therefore won't show a preference to which one you choose or websites which don't link to any casinos and are just there as pure information.

Probability and Predictions

The laws of probability are something that you're going to want to use often, since there is no way to accurately predict where the ball will land you will have to put your faith in the chances of your bet being one of the winners. This is why it's important to play with a real wheel rather than a digital wheel; all wheels will have mechanical differences defining their speed, balance and, most importantly, their outcome. With a careful and watching eye you may eventually see that a particular wheel will have a trend.

A Bit about Statistics

On a perfectly spun and balanced wheel, every number has an equal chance of being landed on; however, there are times where you will see the same number landed on regularly. Statistics in roulette are never relevant to the individual bet; there may be one number that has shown up more than all others but that number still has the same chances as all the other numbers. It's always best to trust what you can see, if it seems a number has been appearing more than others then it may be wise to place your chips on it, just keep your bets reasonable.

The Odds of Betting

Each number has a 1 in 37 chance of appearing, however on average after 37 spins only 24 numbers would have appeared (just over two thirds of the wheel). This means that if you keep betting on the same number for every spin it could come up more than once, or it may not appear at all. If you bet as little as £1 then after 37 spins you could win nothing, or you could win as much as £105 (in theory you could win more however this is extremely unlikely). It all depends on the characteristics of the wheel, if your number doesn't show up then it'll be worth changing it to another number which is appearing more often.

Positive and Negative Progressive Betting

Progressive betting is where you will bet more depending on whether you lose or win. There are many strategies based around this idea, each with a different pattern of betting, some players think that this can be very useful, others believe that it's a bad idea. The main benefit of progressive betting is that in can easily help you maintain your winnings whilst helping to minimalize and win back your losses. However the downside is that you will either only be winning small amounts at a time or risking large amounts of chips on the hope that you're winning streak will continue. It's best to find a system which works for you, whether it's a progressive system or not.
