Choose the Wheel to Play
In choosing the wheel, opt for the European wheel with a single zero on it. This kind of wheel in land-based casinos will most likely be found only in Europe or in the Monte Carlo Casino. However, this kind of wheel is common among online roulette casinos. With this kind of wheel, the house edge is lowered by 2.56 percent, leaving the house with 2.7 percent edge. As you can clearly see, this isn't some system to be followed, just mere selection of the kind of wheel to play.
The En Prison Strategy
The "en prison" rule lets the player get either half of his money back or hold the bet if the ball lands on a zero in an even-money bet which includes high or low bets, red or black, and odd or even bets. In the case that the player chooses to imprison the bet and in the next spin he or she wins, then the bet is released and the player gets the stake back, no more, no less. Now, what if, at the next spin, the ball still lands on a zero? Several countries have different solutions for this. Holland, for example, allows the player to get his or her half of the bet money back immediately or the bet is "double imprisoned." Since it is in the "double imprisoned" state, it will also take two winning bets to release it. Any more zeroes after that, the player loses. In Berlin, if the bet following an imprisoned one wins, the player gets all his or her money back, otherwise, if another zero occurs, the player loses. The player may also ask the croupier to move the imprisoned bet from one to another even-money bet. The result is a little over 1 percent house edge.
The Surrender Tactic
You can also watch for the "surrender" rule wherein all even-money bets are included. When the ball lands in a zero or double zero pockets, only half of your bet is lost. The effect is that the house edge is lowered by half through the halved payment. Even if the payoffs won't be as substantial as the other kinds of bets, the fact that it lowers the house's edge remains.
The Martingale Technique
Just so you'll know about some of the attempts at beating the house by making a betting system, there is the Martingale betting strategy, wherein the player doubles his bet after a losing one to cover for the lost bet in addition to gaining some profit.
The Labouchere System
This system works in a similar manner with the Martingale system but doesn't necessitate betting double after a loss. This system works also like a tracker on the wins and losses and making computations as to how much to bet to regain the loss. Some believe there are more chances in betting only in red, or that employing the Fibonacci numbers will help. Either way, the only real system to beat is the one using the zero and double zero, which is the houses edge. Thus, the best option to try is the house rules and wheel selection. You're free to try any of these simple tips and enjoy some exciting discoveries at the game.
