Anyone have strategies for playing roulette in vegas?

Question

i am going to go to vegas in 2 weeks, and will be playing roulette. does anyone have a strategy in playing this game to improve my odds of winning? thanx

Answer 1

roulette is a losing proposition. if I were ever to play again, i would stick to the 2 to 1 odds like even/odd or red/black or play the columns. the payoffs are less but better odds and easier on the pocketbook. but what do I know? not much really.....

Answer 2

The way roulette works the black/red bets are the same expected return as betting on a number, or betting on three numbers or almost any other bet (except of course foolish bets that cancel themselves out)

For example: The chance of hitting Red is 18/38 or 47.368% there are 18 red spots, and 38 total. (don’t forget the 0 and 00) And you'll double (2x) your money. So, your expected returns are: 2 * .47368 = 0.94736

So for every 1 dollar you bet you’ll only get 0.94736 back, in other words you’ll lose 5 cents for every dollar you risk.

The chance of hitting a specific number is 1/38 or 2.6316% And you'll multiply your money by 36 so your expected returns are: 36 * .026316 = 0.94736

Notice, your returns are the same, no matter what you bet the odds are the same.

The problem with losing money on average for every spin is that the more you play the lower the variation in your possible return becomes. By playing many small hands you're increasing the certainty that you will lose money. According to the central limit theorem, the more you flip a coin the more likely the results are to be 50% heads, 50% tails. Well the more you play roulette, the closer the casinos will get to taking on average 5% of your bets.

There’s no way to get around the house edge in roulette, but there is a way to ensure that you don’t fall into the casinos trap of slowly dwindling your cash away. No matter how much money you have, and no matter how much you’re trying to make, it is always a better bet to risk all your money in one bet in attempt to reach your goal. This way, the central limit theorem does not work against you, and even though your odds are the same, the probability of you reaching your goal is much higher.

So if you have 1 dollar and you’re trying to make 2, just risk it all on a color. If you have 10 dollars and you need 360, bet it all on a number.

Answer 3

Research the game online.

What I do is do a double bet, one bet on either red or black and an equal bet on either odd or even. More often than not, you will at least break even. Then, I will usually bet on a number in addition...

Its hard to have a strategy with roulette unless you research the odds of each particular bet and make educated risks on them or just get lucky. And Albert Einstein is reputed to have stated, "You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it."

Answer 4

Don't play.

Roulette is one of the casino's best games, from their viewpoint. Every bet pays less than it should for a fair game.

If you absolutely have to play roulette, look for a wheel without a 00 space. Your chances of winning are slightly better. You're still likely to burn through your money faster than other games, such as craps, but it'll give you more time to get lucky.

Answer 5

don't play the odds are with the house in vegas and you will not be a happy camper when you lose your money.But if you insist on playing play the odd or even lines you have a 50/50 chance of winning same goes with betting black or red.
but your best best for table games is blackjack single or double deck never play a table with 3 or more decks in use..
this is advice based on personal experience from living in las vegas.
