I'm going to begin by placing the following disclaimer on this Roulette strategy guide: the opinions and ideas expressed in this space are my own, and are not guaranteed to work for anyone. They are merely strategies that I have employed with successful results.
Contrary to popular belief, there is absolutely no sure-fire Roulette gambling system that will pay you off in the long run. They key to winning at Roulette is to capture lightning in a bottle, and make some big short-term money. This is why I employ a Roulette system that may lose me a bit of money in the long-run, but can make me serious money when I'm hot. This system is one where I completely cover a number in the middle column of the table. I take nine chips of equal value, and lay them across this number (as seen in the illustration to the right). When my number comes through, I win 144 units of my bet, at a risk of only 9 units of the same bet.
My lucky number has and always will be 14. Using the illustration to the right, let's take a look at how I cover number 14 to win big. I have one chip directly on number 14, and one on every border and corner of the number as well. My profit on number 14 coming in is 144-9= 135 units of my bet (in this case $25x135= $3375). Are you curious as to how I reached this number?
Remember that it is key to use a number in the middle column of the table, as this offers you the most possibilities and return on your investment (135 units of profit as opposed to only 123 units of profit on side number bets).
In order to maximize your chances of winning at Roulette, remember that your window is a small one. You must win in the short-term, as the casino odds will eventually even things out in favor of the house. Don't bother paying for any Roulette strategies that claim to guarantee you profits, as this is merely a hoax. Just like all other casino games, Roulette is a form of entertainment, and as such will cost you x amount of dollars to be entertained. The only clear way to improve your odds at Roulette is to play at a European Roulette table. This table only has a Zero slot, and no Double Zero slot. In addition, you'll occasionally find a European Roulette table with rules such as In Prison or La Partage, that really swing the odds in the player's favor.
