The game of roulette is one of negative expectation, this means that a percentage return to the house over time is guaranteed, which means that a guaranteed loss for you. This does not mean you cannot win at all, just that it is short term and that in the long run, the player always loses money.

On the double zero (a green section on the roulette wheel used in America that is, marked with a double zero, with the value of zero), and there is no betting strategy or system that can change the house edge. Then you get the house edge, this is a percentage the casino takes from the winnings (the money played during the game), and there is no system or strategy you can use to change it.

Now that we have made it through the realistic returns of roulette, we can move on to bettering your chances of gaining a big chunk of those short-term winnings – play at Slotzo.

Roulette Betting Patterns

Even though there is no sure fire way to beat the game, players typically create a betting pattern which they stick to. This involves placing bets that cover multiple numbers while they simultaneously have a straight bet placed on one number. This is in hopes that they can gain moderate wins while extending their playtime.

Five Quad Strategy

In this strategy, you are required to make five quad (or corner) bets and a straight-up number. You will be covering 21 numbers with this pattern. This will decrease to 20 numbers if the single number you choose falls within your corner bets. This makes it worth placing one chip on your favourite number.

The pay-off for this strategy is that the quad bet pays eight to one, this means that if the ball happens to lands on one those numbers within one of your quad bets, your profit will be three chips. On your quad bets, you lose four and one on any straight-up bets (the single number).35 to one is paid out on the straight-up number. Your profit will be 30 chips if the ball happens to land on this number. Whereas, on a five-corner bet, you will lose five chips.

Double Street Quad Strategy

This strategy requires you to place bets on two double streets, a quad and a single number. This pattern covers 17 numbers; no more than five adjacent compartments on the wheel are empty. You will be betting six chips each round, two on each street, one on the corner and one on a straight number.

The Pay Off

This strategy pays five to one. Since you have two chips a double street, if the ball lands on one of the numbers, you will get ten chips. This means you will lose four chips – two from the other street and two from the single number and corner bet. This makes your profit six chips if you play ten.

The other bets besides the double street are the corner bet and the straight-up number. The corner bet pays eight to one, this means that if the ball lands on any of the four numbers in the quad you will lose four chips one both double street wagers and one chip on the single number. This would make your profit three chips.

When it comes to the single number you bet on, it pays 35 to one. If the ball lands on this number your profit will be 30 chips as you would have lost one chip on the corner bet and four chips one the double streets. If the ball lands on your number, you will have a profit of 30 chips.

Tips for the Road

The point of these strategies is to extend your playing time. They are not ‘get rich quick’ schemes as you will be making small profits with each winning spin. Once you are ready to up the ante and try for a bigger win, add a chip to the bet that won with the hope of recurring numbers. What also works is changing up the numbers you use for the corner or double street bets.

The biggest tip is to experiment and test out custom betting patterns. If anything, you’ll have a good time. Lastly, playing at a busy table as this slows the game down and lessens the time your money is at risk, all the while lengthening your time.

It is important to note that there is no such thing as a system that can beat the game. If there is an advertisement claiming otherwise it is false. Even renowned theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein tried to discover a trick to winning roulette and he concluded that the only guaranteed way to win is to steal from the dealer when he is not looking. His point is that there is no mathematical formula that overcomes the house edge (also known as house take, or house advantage). This makes it a massive source of income for casinos.
