There are thousands of places you can go on vacation, but, if you want to win at roulette then you want to go to France. The American style with the extra zero gives the house a 5.3% advantage. The French wheel, with only one zero, gives the house a 2.7% advantage. Yes, you can find the French wheel at some of the larger casinos in Las Vegas. However, you are playing online, so when you choose your game, be sure to choose the French wheel.
When placing your bets the house is at a disadvantage on the even numbers, low-odds, so this is the best option to place your bets. Don’t get sucked in by the intoxicating effects of a winning streak. It doesn’t matter if you are in Vegas or online, everybody loses in a casino. Walk away a winner. Don’t stay at the table to long. Set yourself a goal and don’t lose more than a specific amount. When that is gone, it is time for you to leave. Don’t try to win it back. It won’t happen. The old adage “quit while you’re ahead” is a perfect rule of thumb in a casino.
If you should decide to try the American wheel, avoid betting on the five spot or the top line numbers (0, 00, 1, 2, 3). But, for the most part, the best bet you can make is avoid the American wheel. Play on the American wheel has been described as absolute insanity.
