Roulette
Wheel Glossary: Strategy
Here are 3 strategy plans to increase your bankroll and
enjoyment of the game.
Roulette Strategy #1: Place red
or black bet with corresponding column bets to cover 26 numbers: Black
bet covers all 18 black numbers. Also, bet Column 3
under #36 for eight (most)
red numbers.
Red bet covers all 18 red numbers. Also, bet Column 2
under #35 for eight (most)
black numbers.
Roulette Strategy #2:
Dozen/Column Betting: Place four bets, 2 Dozen, and 2 Column, and then
you will have covered all numbers except 4 inside and double/single
zeros. Therefore, 32 numbers with some numbers twice. All wins pay
2-1.
Roulette Strategy #3: Start
with 40 chips: $1 denomination is the least expensive way to go. With
most tables requiring $5 minimum inside bets, you qualify by placing 5
inside straight up bets.
Use the same 5 numbers for a series of 8 spins totaling your buy-in of
40 chips. Chose your lucky numbers based on favorite numbers/dates
placed in the middle of that number each time. Any win, pays 35-1, and
two wins after 8 spins brings in a profit.
