roulette strategy?

Question

if i bet 35 of the 38 spots on a roulette wheel is that a good bet...if one of the three hits then i bet 32 of the 38.....and if one hits i bet 32 out of the 38 spots.....what are the chances or probability of this coming out 3 times in a row! I know there is black/red betting and you double your bet and i know they say the house has 5% better odds, BUT what i'm saying is, is it a safe bet to play 35 32 32 = 99 against 3 6 6 = 15....betting 99 numbers against 15 without the 15 numbers (say 0,00,1,2,3,4) hitting 3 times in a row

Answer 1

Are you the same guy that asked this question last night?

The answer is still no.... the best bet you can make in roulette is red/black.

Answer 2

I think there is a flaw in your calculation. You are treating the problem as if you had found a casino with a 114 slot roulette wheel, on which six of the slots were zero's or double zero's. You have then calculated that you have 99 winning possibilities against 15 losing possibilities. In fact, you are multiplying the odds of hitting a losing number because you are taking three spins over this bet, so your bet is not as good as you hope.

There are several things wrong with your strategy. The first is, of course, that you should look for a single zero wheel. Most large US casino's have one these days, although they may have a higher table minimum than the others.

The second thing is to play as much on the outside bets as possible, to reduce the house edge further, if you still want to bet in the manner you describe. The High/Low numbers bets, which pay out even money, lose you only half the stake when a zero comes in. So to make your bet covering 32 numbers, you could put 18 units on 'Low Numbers', and cover the remaining fourteen numbers with bets 'straight up' or on the '6 lines' or whatever.

The most important thing is to change this highly dangerous betting strategy however. The roulette table makes a percentage for the house overall 'per spin', and the longer you take to make your desired winning sum, the less chance you have of doing so. Your 'odds on' system makes it possible for you to be wiped out in a spin or two, yet you would have to play a winning streak for a long time just to double your money, and I think you would fail.

The only way to win money at a casino game of pure chance, is to be a 'progressive bettor', that is to INCREASE your stake when you are playing with the HOUSE's money. You are actually decreasing your bet when you have had a win, though with your heavy odds-on system it wont make much difference any way.

Start playing for very small stakes on low odds bets, - even money say, and add a corner or splits when you are up. Drop your bet back down if you are playing with your own money. The moment you start to win, increase your overall bets and the length of the odds. And always remember never to chase your losses at the end of an evening or buy in for more than you told yourself you would, before you started playing.

Roulette can be very addictive very quickly, and as an ex dealer I can certainly think of people who I have helped to ruin themselves. I can also think of people (mostly from the far East) who knew how to bet starting from a small amount regularly, and walk away from the tables WIN OR LOSE.

(edit) 'casino manager' seems to have rather different roulette rules than any I have personally encountered, in the US, the UK, the Middle East, Europe or North Africa. Or the Caribbean islands, or on ships. The outside bets, that is the EVEN CHANCE bets (not the columns or dozens) lose only half the stake when the zero comes in. There are two ways in which this can be taken. One is for the dealer to remove half your stake, (the typical way in which this is done on American Roulette) The other was the way used on French roulette tables, the chip being moved to a position indicating it is 'en prison', and awaiting a win/lose decision from the next spin. In each case the house edge is reduced to 1.2% on a single zero wheel. FYI the term 'casino manager' is not commonly used in the industry to denote those whose 'casinos' consist solely of electronic machines, no matter how they are wired up.

Answer 4

What player says is correct. But remember, he's talking European roulette with a single zero.

If you're at a table with a double zero, the house edge is 5.26%.

Go back and read what I wrote yesterday. And what I (and many others) wrote the last time you asked this question.

No matter how many times you ask, and how many ways you try to tweak your "strategy", you're still going up against the same house advantage.

You might get lucky and win a little bit of money. But chances are you will lose a lot of money.

Answer 5

The previous answers don't seem to know much about a roulette table. It doesn't matter how you bet the house edge on an AR table with 1 zero is 2.73% this is set in stone and no stratergey will change the edge. If you play the numbers it's 2.73%, if you play red or black it's still 2.73%.

Answer 6

If it hits where your chip isnt then it would take 6 lucky spins to break even, and theres that chance you could lose even more.
