Roulette - what to bet on?

[EndimyonsDream]

From my personal experience I can tell that the best thing to do is to stick to slot machine and stuff like that. Roulette is devil's playground, after roulette hooks you in, slot machines are like watching chess to see some action.

There is no best way to play roulette, best way is not to play it and that is how you win.

Are you kidding? Slot machine?

Anyways, the OP is right, actually I just game from a 2 hour roulette game, didn't win, just break even so I quit, actually I already lost everything, got lucky betting on a single number (17) and then boom I'm back and when I was able to get another win and gets break-even I quit already.

Did not play slot machine, worst odds ever. Lol.

As I was saying, I did not say anything about odds, I was referring to addiction element that is simply not the same when it comes to playing slots and roulette. Roulette has a much tighter grip, like a boa constrictor

Betting on red or black gives you a 50% chance to win and double your money. So mathematically speaking that is what you should bet on.

Mathematically speaking its 47.4 on American Roulette and 48.6 on European Roulette. Because there is 0 and 00. In fact without 0 and 00 casino won't have any advantages agains gamblers.

For some people yes but for the majority of people no  . we only treat gambling for profit and that is the main reason why we play  .

Gambling has an house edge but that doesnt mean that you cannot win on them  . why do you think we continue playing if we will only loose all the time ?  

By the way , i also love to play roulettes and other casino based games   .  i always feel lucky playing them than compare to dice games .

Casinos try to trick people by showing the past results of red and black.  When people see that black was hit the last ten times they believe red is due.  It does not work like this, they always have the same chance and the past results do not matter at all.  Discounting the green slots it will always be a 50/50 chance.

Interesting results! Could you please share with us where you got this data from- if you collected this data, where this data was collected if you know, etc? Always good to make sure that a source of information is reputable. I typically don't play roulette much as I find it pretty dull, but I never knew how the odds for this game really were. I've seen basic odds calculated for games like roulette but nothing as detailed as this to date.

[LUCKMCFLY]

It's a great job you've done! In the platform that I am playing, my bets on roulette I do alternately and believe me more I win with the color, I have noticed that the probabilities of gain increase a lot, have you tried it?

This is a easy question actually. I don't suggest you play roulette at all but if you do the vet with more possibilities compared to other bets is Red or Black. Martingale works here if you have an infinite bankroll and an offline casino do not place bet limitation, but they all do now so Martingale does not work anymore.

I've calculated it by myself in excel. Its simply math.

f.e. If you bet on red there are 18 winning slots out of 37 (36 and 0). 18/37 gives propability of win 48,6% to double money. It means that Betting 1000$ infinity times with statistic distribution you will have 1000$*48,6%*2 ~973$.

You don't have to find it if you can count it.

Well for me, whatever you choose to bet it is always your faith and fortune that will give you the luck to win the roulettes. Some people advise sticking with slot machines because you can actually win easily from there and they only take little profits from the gamers to offer a win for one gamer. Roulette will definitely give you the highest level of urge to play more and that is what I consider greed game. It will hurt you so much when you lose everything from that game and I can tell that.

I don’t have a complicated strategy, I just bet on a set few numbers that I like. It’s probably about as likely to win as anything else. You can’t cheat roulette, there’s a reason you never see a poor casino.

In fact Martingale does not work at all. This strategy provides lower propability of winning than puting all money on red.

When it comes to roulette i dont know any strategy that will work for it but i do play just like you  . i only bet on my favorite number or on my favorite color and it does the magic . yeah we cannot cheat the roulette and roulette cant also cheat us because its purely random . however some user claims that live roulettes that they saw on amusement parks or carnivals are cheaters because the machines that they use are faulty.

but we still have a green zero, which means that the probability of winning will always be a bit lower than 50/50 that you are talking about...
In other words, the bank is in a better position than the player as usual ...

...

...

roulette can't cheat us but the rules can... (additional one or two fields 0 and 00 make the difference)...

Rules can't cheat you either, rules are there and are the same for everyone playing, your brain can cheat you though if he does not calculate properly and does not interpret rules properly

It's not a cheat that's how american roulette pays out on all casinos. The gambler should know the rules of the game before placing bets. A casino can change the rules of the game but it rarely happens and the changes that i've seen are only minor (adjusting the payouts, max bet, etc)

On moneypot there was an old roulette game that had a very low house edge 0.27% basically when you lose and the outcome is green they will return a small portion of your bet.

Yes I realised that a bit later, I totally forgot about the 0 and 00 fields in Roulette. Another member also noticed that and corrected me a few posts before.

In fact roulette can cheat us too. Number "rolled" in online casino is just number from random number generator algorithm. And you have no proof that its not faked by one IF statement ( (IF bet > average player bet) AND (player bet on red) THAN roll black) ELSE generate random number. That way each time you will have be or not to be situation you will loose. It can also be improved by >50% of portfolio, or by simple algorithm that checks if player is using martingale strategy and if it returns true than roll killing combo.

Even offline real world casino can cheat us on roulette by cheating in roulette mechanizm (magnet etc).

Thats why choosing good, trusted casino is so important. Especialy with online casino where cheating is as easy as 1 extra line of code.

[michellee]

For me, roulette was a difficult game. How if you try with dice game?

You can have a chance to win for the money, and it depends on how much your bets. I don't think that there is the best way to bet in roulette because it's a game of chance and I think we depend on the luck only.

So if you already calculate the average of winning and you found that there is no difference, I think you get the answer that in roulette, you cannot find the best way to bet.

First of, I'm pretty sure there are provably fair online roulettes. Check out this video, for example:

Regarding the OP, good job! Keeping in mind those probabilities will never hurt. However, we should understand that we would come to the numbers in the column "Average win" only if tens of millions of bets were made. Within 100-200 bets anything can happen.
