Before
you play roulette for the first time or
the hundredth time, consider these tips to
help you get in the psychological mindset
that is required to play the game at a
healthy mental level:
·
One effective betting strategy is to make your goal
to win more money in a fewer amount of
winning spins.
·
Should
you be influenced by the results of
previous spins, train yourself to bet with
the outcome, not against the outcome.
Either way, you will ultimately realize,
it doesn’t make a difference. Putting
your money on the law of unequal
distribution will always be your best bet.
·
If
you are having a really bad run, don’t
chase the win for too long. Know when to
cut your losses.
·
If
you are having a really good run, pocket
your gains and only play with your
original bankroll.
·
Don’t
count on winning big in roulette. Approach
it as a game of entertainment. If you
concentrate on the money, chances are you
will be disappointed and end up feeling
desperate.
·
Don’t
bet on the big wagers that sugar coat big
wins, requiring you to make a guess on one
single winning number.
·
An
intelligent roulette bettor makes a series
of well thought out wagers. Be consistent;
don’t bet all over the table just for
the sake of playing recklessly.
·
Make
peace with the house advantage. You will
not be able to get rid of it or alter it,
but honestly, you don’t need to. If you
make the casino’s edge your enemy, you
will lose. Think about it like a rake or
tax towards the salary of the dealer, but
don’t let it eat you up.
·
If
you have a choice between European
roulette and American roulette, choose
European, which offers the player a better
advantage.
·
The
five-number bet that includes 0, 00, 1, 2,
and 3 gives the house an edge of 7.89% (in
American roulette). Never make the mistake
of placing this bet.
·
Gambling and mathematics don't mix. In mathematics
you will always know exactly what to
expect, and you will always get that
result. In gambling the opposite is true;
you never know what’s going to happen.
If you did, you wouldn’t be gambling.
Even if there was no house advantage, it
is unlikely in roulette that you would
ever come up with the right answer by
mathematically calculating winning
possibilities.
·
Just
to help you wrap your head around the
probabilities of roulette, think about
this: the probability of a four-number
sequence coming up twice in the same order
is one in two million.
·
The
two main factors that will determine how
much money you win or lose at roulette are
your luck and when you decide to quit.
And
finally, there are certain casino
advantages that you can play against and
certain player advantages that you can use
in your favor:
Casino advantages:
Player’s
desire for more money
Player’s lack of self-control
Time; the longer the player stays, the
higher his chances of running out of money
So…
Quit
while you are ahead
Set a gambling limit and don’t go over
it
After you have reached your goal, walk
away
Player’s
advantages:
The
player gets to choose when and where he
bets
The player gets to choose the amount of
his bet
The player can quit at any time
So…
Play more than one number every spin
Up your bet after a win, not after a loss
Quit a winner or limit your losses
