Jun.13,2010The truth is there is not much strategy when it comes to betting on roulette. It doesn’t matter how you bet. The European roulette wheel has an extra zero-pocket for the house, giving it a 2.6% edge. The American wheel has an extra zero-pocket on-top of the European, giving it a huge house edge of 5.3%.
It’s no wonder Albert Einstein once remarked “You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it”. There is no way you can defy the gravity of the odds with any roulette strategy that involves manipulating your betting.
If you want to win at roulette, you need to know where the ball will land. Of course, if someone knew exactly where the ball will land, the casinos would have to shut up shop.
But, fortunately we don’t need to know where it will land every time. As a matter of fact, we only need know where it will land 6% more often than it should on the American wheel, and 3% more than it should on the European wheel, to make a nice profit.
The question is why would some numbers on a roulette wheel come up more often and how could you possibly find out?
Some numbers on a roulette wheel may come up more than they should due to an unlevel wheel, a worn rotor, an unsymmetrical ball or even a dealer with a pattern to their throws. When this happens, we call the wheel “bias”, as opposed to “random”.
To find a bias wheel you need to do some complicated statistical mathematics, called chi-square analysis. This simply tells us if abnormally popular pockets are due to statistical variation (luck) or caused by a bias wheel.
Once we know there is a bias, our betting strategy simply becomes bet as much on the bias numbers as possible – without tipping of the casino of course.
To do the analysis you will have to monitor many spins, write them down on a pad and do the complicated maths with a calculator every time a spin is done. Or, you can use a software program like Roulette Raptor that does all the monitoring and calculations for you.
