Have you heard the story of the craziest gambler? In 1994 he decided to fulfill his dream in the casino of Las Vegas on the Roulette wheel. Chris had saved 0,000 over a three year period, and wanted to put it all on one spin of the wheel. He searched around Las Vegas for a casino that would actually take his 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 decided to place his bet 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.

The world 'roulette' means 'a small wheel' in French. It was Blaise Pascal who introduced the primitive version of this game in the 17th century. Frenchmen Francois and Louis Blanc invented the single "0" roulette game in 1842. As gambling was illegal in France in the 19th century, the game was introduced in Hamburg, Germany where it became very popular and replaced an earlier version that featured higher odds. Later Francois and his son Camille were responsible for bringing the game of Roulette back to southern France for the Prince of Monaco, Charles III. The game of Roulette was brought to the USA at the beginning of the 19th century. Some additional features were deleted and the game got a double zero back. The game became popular in the old west of America. The most common mistake among the gamblers is the absence of bank limit. Before going to any casino you have to decide to yourself how much you can afford to spend in the casino. Take this sum you can afford and leave all your credit cards and the rest of your money at home. When all your entire bank roll is over leave the casino and don’y bother getting emotionally involved with the games you’re playing. The second and the most amusing mistake is that players don’t know the rules of the game they play. So, before going to the casino and playing any game make sure you know the rules, all possible bets and etiquette. Sometimes players choose games they don’t know well enough and as a result they lose instead of winning. In some casinos players are offered different kinds of alcohol drinks for free. Drinking impairs your judgement and gets you emotionally involved within the game thus losing feels worse, and most importantly you won't be able to play using scientifically proven strategies that shrink the odds of the casino winning. The third mistake is drinking while playing casino games. The only advice here is to avoid drinking in casinos. You can always find a better casino with better odds, bonuses, promotions and conditions for players. New players use the strategies of other gamblers, as they believe that it can help them to win. In fact they are mistaken here. Play your own way and never stick to strategies of other gamblers.
