Roulette Betting Tips
The European wheel - also known as the Single Zero roulette or sometimes French Roulette is very similar to the American wheel. The greatest difference between the European and the American wheel is the fact that European wheel only has a single zero - whereas American wheel has a single zero and a double zero. As the red/black and odd/even are placed right next to each other, and the first18/last18 betting spots are placed right next to the single numbers on the american table it is more practical during the game, but the European table is more more beautiful in symmetry. The European single zero offers the player better odds than the American wheel with it’s single and double zero.
| Roulette Betting Tips. Roulette is a game of chance. Trying to keep the house edge to a minimum is almost all you can do from a strategic point of view. There are special rules in casinos which directly affect on the edge. The 'surrender' option is the first strategy to know. In Roulette, this rule applies to outside bets which pay even money only, such as odd/even, red/black, and high/low. In case the ball falls on 0 or 00 you lose half your bet,but not the whole betting. This affects the house edge considerably; after all it is the 0 and 00 which account for the high house edge in the first place. Even though the payoffs aren't as great for outside bets,you are improving your odds substantially by finding a table with the ‘surrender' rule. Rather interesting point is the 0 and 00. It is better that you look for tables with only one 0 - European tables. Primarily found in Europe, these tables offer a much more attractive house edge from the player's point of view. With a European table to play on you are reducing the house edge from 5. 26 percent to 2. 7 percent. Physically European roulette tables are found more often in Europe, but in the ‘online world’ gambling they are just a click away. |
Online and real Roulette tables don’t differ from each other. There are areas with 36 numbers, zero or zeros and a set of all bets a player can make. Most online roulette games feature exactly the same table. The online Roulette table is green. The only concern with the online roulette table is that there are not too many people playing there because if that is the case and there are simply way too many chips flying around everywhere, not only will it start to get confusing but arguments may break out over which chips belong to whom. It is important to denote that the roulette tables have lower bet limits; a player who doesn't know how to play needs to be aware of them. Like any game Roulette has maximum bet limit, which can de different for different bets. The betting table is divided into 2 areas: outside and inside area. The inside table allows you to bet on individual numbers or on a combination of numbers, while the outside table allows you to bet on non-numeric conditions. In either case, any number matching the bet triggers the win.
The inside table. The inside table consists of 3 columns of sequential numbers. The zero (and double zero for American roulette) can be found above this table, and the column bet fields are below (they technically belong to the outside table). The outside table is attached to the right or left side of the inside table. The minimum wager for bets in the inside area are shown on the table itself, and players can make bets lower than this minimum limit. The outside table. On the outside table there are special bets, which are not bets on numbers. The bet amount on the outside table can’t be lower the minimum limit. The three squares attached to the inside table represent dozens. Betting on each dozen wins when any number within that dozen is played out. The next row is comprised of three pairs of cubicles. The outer squares are the "high/low bets": you can bet either on low (1 to 18) or high (19 to 36) half of the numbers. The counterpart of high/low is "odd/even": you bet on odd or even numbers respectively. The innermost squares are indeed "red/black": similar to the bets above, you respectively bet on red or black numbers. A "column bet" is a bet on either of three columns of 12 numbers when the chips are placed in the column squares under the number table. Remember that any bet in the outside table excludes zero and double zero. Consider this if you are planning on a strategy.You don't compete with other players. In Roulette you play only against the dealer. 1 to 8 players can play the game at the same time. Players buy in and receive colored chips. All players have chips of different color. In the case of winning a spin the player cashes his color chips in for cash chips of a certain value. The "En Prison" rule. If you place an even money bet and the ball lands on zero, you can either take back your bet or leave it for another spin. If you choose to leave your bet for another spin you put it "in prison" as the jargon is. The 'La Partage' rule can be applied when you make an outside even money bet and the spinning ball stops on the zero. In this case you lose half of your bet and you are not allowed to use it in the next spin.
