Being the most popular casino game in the world means there are many attempts to beat or cheat the casino at roulette. By using some simple tactics you can win consistently without attempting to cheat.

Ways to maximize gains:

• An effective system. Playing roulette without a system is like walking blindfolded into a minefield. A system helps you maintain a consistent pattern, allows you to analyze losses, and even controls the rate at which you win. The most effective system is one that you can easily follow and that returns consistent profit without undue risk. However avoid over-simplified progression systems like d’Alembert or Labouchere, also known as the double up method.
• Tournaments. Online casinos offer regular roulette tournaments. These can be a godsend for making money easily. Tournaments generally offer 30-60 minutes of play and the objective is to maximize the amount of chips you win. You pay a few dollars to enter and are then given 500-1000 virtual chips to play with. Of course, the beauty of these tournaments is that the risk/reward balance is heavily in your favor. The maximum loss is the small tournament entry fee, but the prize for having the most chips can be huge. When playing tournaments, bet high and bet aggressively. There’s no good in making a small profit. You need to win a lot of chips, even though that means you absorb higher risk. Modify your strategy to cater for a risk-driven approach. Most players at these tournaments are amateurs, so with a good system you can easily turn a high profit.
• Avoid scams. If there is just one piece of advice for amateur roulette players it is to be exceptionally cautious of taking advice. Roulette attracts scammers. Why? There is money to be made by selling over-complex systems that are hard to disprove in the short term but that will always lose you money. Often by the time you realize that the system you bought is a waste of time you have already lost a large amount of money, usually to a casino which is paying the supplier of your system a fat percentage. So what should you do? Quite simply, either use a free system such as the Playhard Win Line, or learn advanced probability and develop your own.

In conclusion if you want to maximize the amount of money you make at a casino playing roulette, avoid dubious systems such as Roulette Sniper and be cautious of any advice. Use a proven system and play at tournaments, which allows you to take home very large sums for the price of a few dollars entry fee.

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.
