There is something about roulette that has always said James Bond and Monte Carlo to me. Maybe it is because when you see casino movies the big spenders are always at the roulette wheel while the plebian are playing the slots. Because of this image I had, the first time that I went to a casino I went right up to the roulette table and placed a bet. Of course, I lost my money and with it a lot of the magic. I no longer go to roulette tables in bricks and mortar casinos anymore, but I have rekindled my love of roulette by playing the game online.


Online roulette is not only a lot of fun, but it also has a slightly higher chance of winning. This is because many online casinos are trying to attract customers by offering freebies and extra prizes at their sites. Shop around for a roulette site that will give you the prizes that you know you deserve to win. I have two different sites that I frequent. It’s totally superstitious, but I pick my casino site according to the day. Even days go to one site and odd days to the other. I don’t play every day, but this system has kept me lucky for over a year now.


Both of the online casinos that I frequent have European roulette wheels. These wheels have only one zero, as opposed to the single and double zeros of American tables. One less number means a slightly higher chance of winning.


I have some other tips that I have picked up to help me win at the online roulette table. I always take as many spins as I can get. The more time the wheel spins the more chance I have of winning. Both of my online casinos offer chances to increase your spins rather than double your bets. The latter might mean one big payday all year, but the former means that I win more often.


I also try to spread out my bets around the wheel. At first I thought I would just bet on every number and so I would be guaranteed to win at least something. However, that also means that I always lose something as well. Pretty soon I realized that too much of my money was going to the casino. So now I have a few methods for spreading out my chips to maximize each spin. I always bet a little bit on both the inside and the outside. I always put down for red and then for a few high and a few low numbers. I’ve seen people who can win by betting on a column and then an even or odd on the outside as well. It’s just good to cover a good mix of the board.


I wouldn’t say that I’m a roulette superstar or anything, but I think I might be at least a B-grade actor at the table. I have a few winning strategies that have kept me flush enough to play for fun and not lose more than I can afford.
