Live roulette is a casino game which derives its name from the French for wheel. It is played on a wheel where one can place bets on a number or a range of numbers, red or black color and odd or even numbers. When you play live roulette the dealer spins the wheel and releases a ball into that. The ball comes to rest on one number when the wheel stops. That determines whether someone has won or not. Live roulette games come in multiple variations, but the basics remain the same. Roulette was first played in France and is now played throughout the world where casinos are legal.

As with other live casino games, a player must register with one of the websites to play live roulette games. After the registration, an initial deposit needs to be made to be able to play. Some websites offer an initial amount as registration bonus, but the payout in these sites is relatively lower. For the real thing, it is better to register with some of the better known websites. The odds are certainly better in these sites.

After entering one of the online rooms for roulette games, a player can place either an inside or an outside bet. Inside bets is better paying where one can bet on a single number, or two adjoining numbers, or three numbers on a single horizontal line, or a square, or a six line or on a trio. Outside bets are lesser paying where the chance of winning is better. One can bet on any of the numbers from 1-12 or 12-36, or red or black colors on the betting table, or even or odd numbers, or dozen (a bet on the first, second or third of the twelve numbers, i.e. 1-12, 13-24 or 25-36) or column (betting on all the 12 numbers on any three vertical lines of the roulette table) bets. The lower the probability of winning, the higher is the payout.

Websites offer various versions of this famous casino game to attract players, live roulette games are popular. At the end of the day when you play live roulette it is still gambling and can make kings or paupers. Unlike some of the card games, live roulette online or offline is completely based on one’s luck because it is absolutely unpredictable as to where the ball will sooner or later come to rest in a slot.

In this article I will be going over some ways that you can increase your odds in roulette – which can actually be done – however this isn’t a way to increase your odds so much that they’re actually better than the casino. That is extremely hard to do without cheating.

When it comes to casino games, Roulette has one of the highest odds of you losing and the casino taking away your money. This is because of the naughty little 0 slot on the roulette wheel in European roulette, as well as the 00 slot which appears in American roulette.

Because of these numbers, the casino has a 2.7% edge over you in European roulette and a massive 5.4% edge over you in American roulette. In simple terms, this means that for every $100 bet on any roulette table anywhere in the world, the casino will make $2.70 in European roulette and $5.40 in American roulette. This may not initially sound like a lot, however when you consider that literally millions of dollars can be spent in a single casino in one day, it sure adds up – for the casino that is.

So the first tip I have for you is to never, and I mean never, place a bet on an American roulette table. You are doubling your odds of losing if you do. If you’re not sure of how to spot the difference in an American and European roulette tables, just look for the green slots in the wheel. An American wheel will have two green slots numbered 0 and 00, while a European roulette wheel will only have one green slot numbered 0. This is what you need to look for.

My next piece of advice is to never ever bet on single numbers. While you can make a lot more money if you win a bet placed on a single number as it will pay out 36-to-1 (meaning a $1 bet will win $36), the odds of this happening are are 37-to-1 when you take into account the zero, which means on average you will win only once every 37 spins.

You should be betting mathematically and strategically, an never betting on ‘feelings’. Just because you have a ‘feeling’ the number 24 is going to come up on the next spin, doesn’t mean that it will. Most likely, it won’t and you will have thrown the bet away.

Always bet on large sections of the board like the red or black sections, or on thirds of the board, This will enable you to cover huge chunks of the numbers without betting on them individually. And when you do this, stick to one section and continually bet on that section without stopping. Casinos rely on people jumping from one place to another betting with their ‘feelings’ in order to take their money, so this is what we must not do.

Other than this, there is nothing really that can swing the odds in your favour except all-out cheating, or by checking out the guide on my website. I guarantee you that it’s about the only mathematically proven way out there to do this.
