Roulette is considered to be one of the most exciting games offered in casinos. This is a game that many people avoid because they do not understand the betting and find it complicated and think there must be some kind of roulette system everyone else is following. When players do attempt to play roulette, they can find it hard to win. There are some secrets to knowing what a good bet is and what a lousy bet is when it comes to roulette.

The first thing to do is opt for European roulette over American roulette if it is available. European roulette does not contain the 00 on the wheel, so the odds are slightly better than with American roulette.

Next, develop a betting system. There are many systems out there that are easy to learn. You can create your own or adapt someone else’s to make sure that you have consistent rule by which to bet. One popular betting system is the Martingale Betting System. This system has the player start at low stakes table and bet on one option like red or black, odd or even, or high or low. The player consistently makes that bet every time and doubles the wager when the player loses. This means that when there is a win, you are always up by one unit.

Third, avoid bad bets. The worst bet you can make in roulette is 0-00-1-2-3. This bet has the worst odds on the table and gives the house almost an eight percent gain. Avoid this bet because you are almost sure to lose.

One of the best bets you can make is the top row Red bet. When you look at the rows on the table, they are evenly dispersed between red and black, but when you look at them in twelve, you notice that the top row has more reds than any other row. This means that by combining the first twelve and red, you are doubling your chance of winning.
