Maximizing Wins at the Roulette Wheel

The roulette wheel is probably the greatest casino invention of all time, aside from slot machines and the most famous Japanese variation, the pachinko machine. However, where mechanical slot machines have become outmoded, the iconic roulette wheel still thrives.

Moreover, online you can choose between software roulette games or join real-time games via live stream from locations around the world. However you decide to play, there will always be a group of people around the roulette wheel, virtual or real.

The rules of roulette are the same, and the roulette wheel itself sees no changes with the move to online games. So, going from traditional games to mobile games is effortless. Many players that are not familiar with either will find themselves wondering which kind of roulette bets are the most fruitful and which ones to avoid.

Did you know that the right roulette bets will reduce the house edge to the minimum? And on top of that, some roulette bets give you the best winning odds in the casino. Let's have a look at the best bets to make, and which ones to avoid altogether.

The Best Roulette Wheel Bets

The following are the roulette wheel bets you'll want to make the majority of the time. They may not pay out the most, but you will have such great odds of winning that your earnings can add up quickly.

Even the most experienced roulette players know that it's best to make safe bets. That means sticking to the outside bets for the majority of your session. Never, ever take your whole bankroll and put it all on one number, as you may have seen in movies. The odds of winning these types of bets are practically non-existent.

Making "outside bets" in roulette means betting on black or red, odd or even numbers, or high/low numbers. These come with between 30% to almost 50% chances of you winning against the house. The payout for them can be double to triple your money. Therefore, it's easy to see how you can collect incredible earnings on a lucky streak.

The Worst Roulette Wheel Bets

Here are the worst roulette bets you can make; these bets give the house the highest edge and you the lowest odds of winning.

• American Roulette - Firstly, always seek out European roulette games instead of American versions. The reason is that the American roulette wheel has a double zero in addition to the zero, both of which go to the house.
• Basket Bets - Never make "Basket Bets," bets that cover the zero and double zero and 3. They have a huge house edge and low odds of winning.
• Straight Bets – These are bets you place on a single number.
• Split Bets – These are bets on two single numbers in the same round.

Now that you know which bets are the best and which are the worst, you no longer need to worry about why you've been having bad luck playing roulette. Increasing your knowledge of which bets are worth placing is the first step in becoming a winning player.
