Roulette is Casino Queen

Roulette is a straightforward game that can be learned without too much difficulty. Playing it in its basic form is quite simple - you are betting that a number(s) or a combination of numbers will come up on the next spin of the wheel. Because some wagers are more difficult to win than others, the various wagers have different payoffs.

Roulette High Payoff

One of the roulette's biggest attractions is its high payoff for winning a bet on a single number - 35 to 1. If you wager 17 and it shows on the next spin, your wager will be paid off at 35 to 1 odds. With a dollar bet, you win $35, and with $100 wagered, you win $3,500.

Although these high odds are attractive, we will find that there are even more attractive wagers to be made at roulette. Rather than trying for a single win on a long-shot wager, I have found that there are some "bread and butter" types of wagers at roulette that will pay you time after time, session after session.

Roulette is played at a much more leisurely pace than other casino games, especially craps. I enjoy playing craps and blackjack as well as roulette, but when it comes time to relax, as well as build up steady winnings, roulette is my game.

Often roulette players make wagers based on their favorite numbers, such as anniversaries and birth dates. You'll soon see why these kinds of bets are not advisable.

My approach to roulette entails using a "hit and run" strategy that piles up consistent wins. I am convinced that my strategy can overcome the house odds of either American (double-zero) roulette wheels or European wheels (single-zero) which offer better odds.

And, I have lots of data to back up my statement that roulette can be beaten.

If you are looking for a way to beat the game, there are many books written about roulette. These books generally fall into two broad categories. Most of the books you will find in bookstores are in category one in which the mechanics of the game are described with a simplistic betting strategy or two and many stories about the author's adventures playing the game are recounted. These books are very useful if you want to learn how to play the game, learn about roulette etiquette or just be entertained.

However, you are not likely to learn how to beat the game from these books. The systems used by the authors tend to be very similar and are typically the same old shopworn systems used by roulette players for decades

The second category of roulette books is usually offered at higher prices on a limited basis, as through direct mail. These books or pamphlets usually offer one system that is guaranteed to beat the game. If you ever try to return one of these "sure-fire" winners you will usually find that the system seller can't be found.
