Chris Boyd seemed to be the craziest gambler in history. In 1994 he decided to fulfill his dream in the casino of Las Vegas on the Roulette wheel. Chris managed to save up 0,000 and he decided to put it on one spin of the wheel. It took him much time to find in Las Vegas a casino, in which he could place such a bet. With refusals from most of the major casinos, Chris was referred to Binion’s Horseshoe Club. The maximum bet available was 0,000, but the casino let him make a 0,000 bet. The casino also agreed to block out the double-zero on the wheel as this didn’t exist in the European version of the game that Chris was used to playing. Chris placed all his money on red. The casino and the dealer agreed to a few practice spins to ensure that full fairness for everyone concerned, and then the big spin came. The ball landed in number 7, red. Chris won 0,000 instantly, and asked for the money to be put into the casinos cage, and vowed never to gamble again.

Some people like the bright lights of Las Vegas. The glitz. The glamor. The shows. The restaurants. They book their room in the Flamingo, see some shows, eat at the Vegas buffets, and bet a little money on the roulette wheel. However, this is an expensive, once a year type proposition, and many people might not be able to afford to go to Vegas right now. And what if you are bored one night, and want to play some roulette, right there and right now? Some dealers are so experienced that they release the ball with the same steed from spin to spin. It is called Dealer Signature. As long as there is little or no deflection from the metal stops on the roulette wheel it is possible to predict where the ball will drop. If a number repeats often within 100 spins you may have found a biased wheel that can turn the house advantage around to your favor. A biased wheel is one of only two true opportunities to overcome the casino's advantage. You must buy in chips before playing roulette and exchange the colored chips for regular casino chips when leaving the Roulette table. Never make 5 number bets as they have the least profitable payback. 7,89 is the house edge of 5 number bets. If you choose between European and American Roulette, then play European Roulette as here you have more chances of winning. Don’t forget about the Surrender option, which is available in European Roulette. And always try to manage your money.
