You've probably seen a roulette table before even if you've never played. They're an iconic image from any casino. While the wheel may look intimidating the game is actually very simple to learn. The object of Roulette is to pick the number where the spinning ball will land on the wheel. You can also bet combinations of numbers or choose the color or whether the number will be odd or even.
The Roulette Wheel
There are two different roulette wheels. The European wheel has 37 slots numbered 0-36. The house edge is 2.63. The American wheel has 38 slots with 0-36 plus a 00. The extra slot increases the house edge to 5.26 percent.
The Layout
- Roulette quotes comes from sources both high and low. Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking have invoked roulette, perhaps because the bizarre world of physics seems to make about as much sense as the spin of a roulette wheel and seems about as random as the drop of the roulette ball.
- These odds are for American roulette, which features a single zero and a double zero. For the French or European version of roulette, the odds are slightly different because there's only one zero.

Let me tell you roulette is a game of luck and only luck there is no study or rule book relating to this game And. If you really wanna study the roulette game then study it on the table you playing I won a lot in roulette around almost 2000 euros in a round The key. I am sharing with you.
The inside betting area contains the individual numbers on the layout. The outside betting area has boxes for the columns, red/black and odd/even and different groups of numbers.
The numbers on the inside are arranged in 12 rows of three numbers forming three vertical columns. The 0 and 00 are at the top of the columns.
Buying Chips
To avoid disputes, each player receives a different color chip at roulette. These chips are good for that table only and you must cash them in for regular casino chips when you are done. You cannot cash in the roulette table chips at the cage.
Each roulette table has a minimum and maximum bet. You can't combine your inside and outside bets to meet the table minimum. If the minimum bet is five dollars, you have to bet $5 on the inside and/or $5 on the outside. You can't bet $3 inside and $2 outside.
Inside Bets
There are several inside bets that you can make. You can bet a number straight up or straddle the line between numbers to select a combination of numbers. The payouts are as follows.
- Straight Up bet is a wager on a single number. It pays 35 to 1.
- Split Bet is a wager on two numbers and it pays 17 to 1. You make this bet by placing your chip so it straddles the line between any two numbers.
- Street bets or line bet pays 11 to 1. You make this bet by placing your chip on the vertical line separating the outside and inside betting areas. The chip straddles the first number in the row.
- Corner bet or Quad bet pays 8 to 1. You make this bet by placing a chip so it is touching the four corners of the numbers you are betting.
- Basket bet is a five number bet on zero – double zero and numbers-1-2-3 which pays 6 to 1. On the double zero wheel, it has a house edge of 7.89 percent making it the worst bet in Roulette.
- Double Street bet is a wager on six numbers and pays 5 to 1. You place your chip on the line separating the outside and inside area as you do for the street bet but let it also straddles the row above or below.
Outside Bets
The outside bets are any of the bets made in the boxes surrounding the numbers.
- Red Black Odd and Even are all even-money bets. Place your chips in the boxes on the layout.
- Dozens bet are made on the 12 consecutive numbers. Place your wager in the boxes marked 1-12, 13-24 or 25-36. These bets pay 2 to 1. If the zero or double zero comes up you lose.
- Column bets are also 12 number bets. These are the numbers in one of the three vertical columns. Place your wager in the boxes at the bottom of the layout. These bets pay 2 to 1.
The Dealer
Dealers are required to keep the wheel moving at all times, even between spins. They spin the ball in the opposite direction the wheel-head is traveling. This causes the ball to jump and spin before landing on a number.
The dealer will note the winning number with a marker. Always wait until the dealer removes the marker before making new bets!
Playing Tips
If the number you want to bet is already covered with chips, don't worry. It is permissible to stack your chips on top of the other chips. That's why you have your own color chips.
You are allowed to place bets until the dealer calls out, 'No more bets.'
Keep in mind that while roulette systems like the Six-Pack Plus are fun, the house will always have the advantage.
Gamblers have been trying to overcome the house edge in roulette for centuries. Most of them have met little to no success.
But some of them have succeeded. Red envelope slot machine.
Some of them even learned how to predict the numbers when playing roulette.
That might be the best way to beat the game, in fact. After all, if you know which number is going to come up, you can guarantee that you'll win your next bet.
1- Developing Your Innate Psychic Powers
I don't believe in psychic powers, but I understand that some of my readers do believe. In fact, I have a close friend who's a phone psychic, and he's convinced that he really has 'the gift.'
I just don't think anyone has ever provided any convincing evidence of precognition in anything like a controlled setting.
But if you want to develop psychic powers to beat roulette, here are some tips I've found:
- Visualize your third eye.
- Meditate.
- Pray.
My yoga teacher has me do this during our sessions. I don't think it's helped me with predicting the future, although the longer I'm sober, the better able to predict the future I become.
The idea is that your third eye is what's going to be able to see the energy fields surrounding everything and help you predict the future.
I'm a big fan of meditation because it has benefits that are entirely separate from trying to be able to tell the future. Meditation can help you lower stress, and it can help you be more present. It's not hard to do, either. Start small and work your way up.
Some people firmly believe that by increasing their connection with God or the universe, they're able to tap into intuition that isn't available to other people who are cut off from the source.
Prayer and meditation put you in touch with the source of everything, which, in turn, enables you to predict the future with more accuracy.
How you pray and meditate is, of course, up to you.
But I don't know anyone who claims to have psychic powers who isn't praying and/or meditating on a regular basis.
2- Watching the Dealer
Do some roulette dealers hit specific numbers more often than other numbers because of their dealing habits?
If you could spot some kind of croupier tell or dealer signature in roulette, you could clean up.
Realistically speaking, though, dealers can't force the ball to land on a specific number. That's just not a realistic feat.
But you don't need them to hit the same number repeatedly. You just need to know which section of the wheel the ball is most likely to land in. If you know that, you can bet all the numbers in that section and win more often than probability would lead you to win.
And you don't even need a huge change in probability to make this worthwhile.
Most experts agree that so-called 'sector slicing' isn't a realistic way to predict even a subset of roulette numbers, but let's look at the math of why that would be great if you could pull it off.
When you place a single number bet, you have a 1/38 probability of winning that bet. The payoff is 35 to 1, so the casino has an obvious edge.
But if the probability of landing on some numbers is better, say 1/34 instead of 1/38, then the edge tilts away from the casino and toward the player.
It's possible, though, that a dealer lands in a specific section of the wheel more often than usual without even knowing it. After all, this is all muscle memory for the croupier. He releases that metal ball into action at a specific speed and at a specific time.
You might even want to track how far away from the release point the ball usually lands. Let's say that the ball always lands 10 or 14 numbers away from where it's released. You'd have a huge advantage being able to bet on those 10 or 14 numbers, even though the actual numbers would change every game.
3- Watching the Ball and the Wheel Closely
Twenty years ago, you could find numerous books and articles about how you could predict approximately where the ball will land just based on looking at it. Such a strategy isn't widespread anymore, but is it possible?
First of all, you'd need to be able to gauge the speed of the ball and the speed of the roulette wheel. I'm not sure if you've spent much time at a roulette table, but just the idea of trying to do that boggles my mind.
The speed of the wheel is probably more important than the speed of the ball, but both matter. You also need to keep in mind that the ball is going to bounce around a little bit before falling into a numbered pocket.
How To Say Roulette
Practically speaking, this strategy works like the dealer signature strategy. Only instead of looking for a trend unique to that dealer, you're just watching the ball and the wheel and placing your bets quickly on what you predict based on the ball speed and wheel speed.
This might be worth a try, but I still wouldn't gamble money I needed for other purposes on this approach.
4- Using a Device
Using a computer to predict where the ball will land in a roulette game is considered cheating. In Nevada, that's a felony. You do NOT want to get caught doing this.
In fact, I recommend against even trying this. There are easier ways to get an edge when gambling that don't involve the risk of going to jail.
But gamblers have used roulette computers to beat the game. Such a computer works like a radar gun that a highway patrolman uses – it tracks the speed of the ball. It also analyzes angles and predicts where the ball will land.
As with the other methods mentioned already, you're going to bet on multiple numbers at once, not just one number.
Even a computer can't predict a specific number with any kind of accuracy.
5 – Determining the Bias of a Wheel
It's not just dealers that have a bias. Some wheels are imperfect, and they might have a bias toward and against specific numbers, too.
To find a biased wheel, you would need to track the results for at least 1000 spins. Even then, the margin of error could be significant. In any small set of random occurrences, some are going to deviate from what probability predicts.
That's deviation, not bias.

A better approach might be to try to track 10,000 spins.
But you'll run into a couple of problems with this advantage technique:
How To Say Roulette
- The first is that you might spend all this time 'clocking' a roulette wheel only to find that there's no bias at all. Then you've just wasted your time.
- The second is that even if you find a roulette wheel you're convinced has enough of a bias to make it worth your while, that wheel might move or be replaced at any time.
Finding a biased roulette wheel sounds like a great advantage strategy in theory.
But in real life, it isn't practical at all.
6- Embrace the Gambler's Fallacy
I can promise this technique for predicting the next roulette number won't work, but we'll talk about it anyway.
The Gambler's Fallacy is when you believe that the probability of something that's going to happen has somehow been affected by what's already happened.
Dealers are required to keep the wheel moving at all times, even between spins. They spin the ball in the opposite direction the wheel-head is traveling. This causes the ball to jump and spin before landing on a number.
The dealer will note the winning number with a marker. Always wait until the dealer removes the marker before making new bets!

I can promise this technique for predicting the next roulette number won't work, but we'll talk about it anyway.
The Gambler's Fallacy is when you believe that the probability of something that's going to happen has somehow been affected by what's already happened.
We know that it's unlikely to get a red result eight times in a row on a roulette wheel. If the ball has landed on red seven times in a row, we might predict that the ball is surely going to land on black on the next spin.
Mathematically, that isn't true.
But you might embrace it anyway and try to use that to inform your betting decisions.
It won't help in the long run, but it's as useful as any other strategy.
7- How to Predict the Next Roulette Outcome With 100% Accuracy
If you could tell your friend that you could predict that the ball will land in a specific number set, how could you be sure that you were correct 100% of the time?
Just predict that the ball will land on either a 0, a 00, or the numbers 1 through 36.
You could even bet on all those numbers, but if you did, you'd lose money consistently and repeatedly because of the house edge.
Conclusion
There are seven ways to predict roulette numbers. I'm not confident that you can use any of these methods consistently to win money in a modern casino but give any or all of them a try.
Well, except for the computer.
