Roullete (French for “little wheel”) is a casino game of chance that involves spinning a small ball around a rotating wheel and placing bets on where it lands on. Although chances are always against you in games of chance, there are ways you can increase your odds and improve your odds of victory.
Best Way to Increase Odds by Betting Dozens or Columns (2-1 or even Money Returns). Dozens or Columns bets offer lower minimum bets with much better returns at better odds – perhaps even money!
Roulette was initially invented over 300 years ago by French scientist Blaise Pascal as part of his attempt to build a perpetual motion machine. Though initially popular among academic circles and elite society members, by 1790s roulette had established itself among casinos and gambling houses across Europe.
A roulette wheel consists of a solid wooden disk slightly convex in shape with 36 metal compartments known as frets or pockets by croupiers that alternate in hue between red and black paint, divided by metal canoes separating each compartment; its outermost compartment known as either the Equator (0 in European wheels or Double Zero on American ones), is usually colored differently from its neighbors and numbered 00.
Once, roulette balls were constructed from ivory; today they’re more frequently made from resin or Teflon. A roulette ball’s size, weight and material all play an integral part in its movement around the wheel; for instance, smaller, lighter balls may make more revolutions around it before landing with greater predictability than their larger counterparts.
To be successful at roulette, accurately predict which numbered slot the ball will land in as it spins around the wheel and place your chips accordingly on the betting table – keeping in mind a predetermined budget for how many bets per round you plan on placing. When winning, remove your winning chips from the table and cash them out immediately – do not use any winnings on additional bets, as these may prove fruitless and don’t allow yourself to become overextended with grandiose strategies!
