In playing the Roulette game, your objective is to pick the winning number that will appear on the Roulette wheel. Other than the individual numbers, you can also bet on the combination of numbers or choose the color, odd or even. For many newbie, it is not as easy as it seems. Hence, let go back to the basic to learn how to play Roulette and understand what your chances to win in Roulette game are.

Two Types of Wheels

If you have been to casino before or visited an online casino, you may notice that there are actually two types of Roulette wheels, one has 37 slots, numbered from 0 to 36 and another type has 38 numbers, range from 0 to 36 with added extra number “00″.

The 37 slot’s wheel is the original wheel since the game invented; the 37 slot’s wheel is known as “European Wheel”. The house edge / casino advantage for this 37 slot’s wheel is 2.63%. The 38 slot’s wheel is known as “American Wheel”, it has an added double zero (“00″) which has increase the house edge from 2.63% to 5.26%. In other word, you chances to win in “American Wheel” are less than the “European Wheel.

Roulette Table Layout

Roulette layouts have two betting areas: the inside betting area and outside betting area. 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 individual numbers at the inside betting area are arranged in 3 columns times 12 rows and the zero and double zero (if it is American Wheel) are arrange at the top of the columns. There are 18 numbers colored with “Black”/”Yellow” and the other 18 numbers are colored with “Red”; you can making the betting based on these two colors at the outside betting area. Beside the colors, there are three other types of betting at outside betting area: 1-18 (small), 19-36 (big); Old or Even; column bets: 1 to 12, 13 to 24, and 25 to 36.

Buying In

In order to avoid disputes, each player will receives a different color chip and these color chips can only be used for that table only; you much cash them in once you are done playing to exchange these chip with the cash chips where you can cash them at the cashier cage later.

You can make several types of betting at inside betting area; you can bet a number straight up or straddle the line between numbers to select a combination of numbers. The payouts for each type of betting are as follow:

  • a. Single Number : Pays 35 to 1
  • b. Split bet between two numbers: Pays 17 to 1
  • c. Quad bet between 4 numbers (place your chip at the center of 4 adjacent numbers): Pays 8 to 1.
  • d. Line bet / street bet (you bet on 1 row with 3 numbers): Pays 11 to 1.
  • e. Double street bet (you bet on 2 rows with 6 numbers): Pays 5 to 1.

At outside betting area, the payouts for any winning are as follow:

  • a. Even/odd, big/small and color black/red are all pay 1 to 1.
  • b. Column bets (1 to 12, 13 t o24, 25 to 36) are paying 2 to 1.

After the roulette ball drop into the wheel’s slot, the dealer will mark the winning number with a marker. He/she will pick up all the losing chips first before paying out the winning chips. You are not allowed to place your bet until the dealer removes the marker.

One such rule change was the addition of a 10:1 bonus payout if a player drew the jack of spades together with the ace of spades as his first two cards. Thus history was made and the game became known forever after as “black jack” or “blackjack”.

Blackjack has always fascinated statisticians and by the 1950s they realized that the game offers the player better odds than previously believed. At that time, a team of mathematicians known as The Four Horsemen published an article titled The Optimum Strategy in Blackjack, in which they used probability theories and statistics to illustrate ways in which blackjack players could be more successful. Although the Four Horsemen’s article made only a small ripple on the waters of the blackjack scene at the time, their theories were, in fact, the basis for what is now known as “The Blackjack Basic Strategy.”

The person who is generally credited for the black jack basic strategy is Professor Edward Thorp, who published his ideas (based on the Four Horsemen’s theories) in 1962 in a best-selling book called “Beat the Dealer.” “Beat the Dealer” also introduced the idea of card counting as a strategy in blackjack, and is thought of as a major landmark in blackjack history. Thorp’s book catapulted the game of blackjack to new levels of popularity, but the casinos changed the rules in order to protect their odds. In order to keep the house edge, they introduced multiple-deck games and card-shuffling machines, which made it harder for card counters to keep track of the cards that had been dealt.  Until the 1990s, the blackjack basic strategy chart had to be memorized, as casinos did not allow computers or even written charts across the threshold. Thousands of people now enjoy playing blackjack online.

Internet casinos allow you to play for free. This allows you to practice your blackjack game and your blackjack strategy before you start playing blackjack for real money. When you do play blackjack online for real money, the odds and the payouts are the same as at the casino, so you are not losing anything. The popularity of the blackjack gambling game is on the rise, as the number of online and offline player try to find the best strategy in order to constantly win and defeat the odd of luck.

Whichever the card counting method, what it does is calculating the ratio of high value cards to low value cards remaining in the deck.

Card counting allows the player to take the ratio of high cards and low cards by converting his or her running count into a “true count”. The method of calculating the “true count” is quite easy. True count is the value you get by dividing the running count with the total number of decks of un dealt cards. By knowing the true count you can easily know how favorable the remaining cards are than those of the running count.
Hence if the running count is +8 and there are two decks remaining to be dealt, then the true count is actually +4. Similarly, if the running count is +8 and there are four decks remaining to be dealt, then the true count is actually +2. That is, the true count will be decreased according to the number of decks which remain un dealt.
If the true count shows positive results, then change your bet size so you can earn more profit. Similarly, if the true count goes down, then decrease your bet size to reduce the effect of losing the game.
Calculating the true count and increasing or decreasing your bet size according to the true count will help you to play blackjack like a professional. Download our industry leading software!
Interesting Fact: There have been some high-profile lawsuits involving whether a casino is allowed to bar card-counters. Essentially, card-counting, if done in your head and with no outside assistance from devices such as blackjack computers, is not illegal, as making calculations within one’s own mind is not an arrestable offence.

More than luck, a skillful player can do a lot to tip the odds in his or her favor. Here are some tipsyou should be aware of to make the best out of your game.

Online BlackJack Tips

• Never split your 4s, 5s or 10s

• You can split your 8s and Aces, despite of which card the dealer is showing

• If you are not counting cards, you should not take insurance.

• If the dealer’s face up card is a 7 through an Ace, you should hit

• If the dealer’s face up card is a 6 or lower, you should stand on a 13 through 16

• You should stand with a 12 if the dealer is showing a 4, 5, or 6.

• You should hit with a 12 if the dealer’s face up card is a 2, 3, 7 or higher.

• If the dealer’s face up card is a 10, you should hit on a 17.

• If the dealer is showing a 0 point card, you should continue to hit until you have around 17 points.

A player can double down on two card combinations totaling:

• 9 – if the dealer’s face up card is any one from three to six.

• 10 – if the dealer is showing a 10 or an Ace

• 11 – if the dealer’s face up card is an Ace

Things are little different in the case of a Soft hand. As you cannot “bust” a soft hand with just a single hit, you can follow these tips:

• If the dealer’s card is a 7 or higher, the player should hit soft through 17

• One can always hit soft 13 through 17 with hands of 3 or more cards

• One can double down soft 15 through 17 against a dealer’s 4

• If the dealer’s face up card is 3, the player can double down soft 17

• If possible, try to stand on soft 19 or higher

The danger is that with a high minimum table you run the risk of loosing your bankroll before without opportunities to regain lost revenue.

Never split 10s: it may be tempting to play the two hands, but 20 isn’t far off from 21, so be happy with what you have!

5s Never, 8s Always: a pair of 5s should never be split but a pair of 8s should be split in all circumstances except for when the dealer is showing a 10.

Always split Aces: getting a blackjack is, as they say, the name of the game, so splitting aces gives you two chances to do just that.

Stick on 17; no matter what your gut says, just stick with what you have. Bear in mind that the dealer has to stick on 17, plus if you think even for a second about the number of cards in the deck and how much they add up to you will soon realize that the chances of getting a 4 or less are much lower than the chances of getting a 5 or more – just don’t do it!

The fewer decks in use the better the odds are for the player; the biggest leap in the house advantage is between one and two decks, but it does rise, all be it less steeply, with every deck added. Therefore, in a choice between a single deck and multi deck game, always go for the single deck; in a choice between a 6 deck game and an 8 deck game, always go for the 6 deck.

Rules vary from table to table, so the more player-friendly rules a table plays by the better it is for you. Specific rules to look out for are, the surrender rule; double down after splitting pairs; multiple pair splitting; and ace re-splits.

Remember that you’re only opponent is the dealer, so don’t look at anyone else’s hand, it’s not your business and it will distract you from your game.

The rest of the advice I received was basic common sense and money management; don’t bet anything you’re not prepared to loose, set limits, don’t gamble when drunk, you know the type.

George Grisham said:  “Going to a casino used to be a glamorous thing to do. A way to let lose in style, we used to wear nice close, enjoy dinner and some drinks, these days any ‘shlump’ off the street are able to come inside to have a meal for $9.99 and a few goes at the tables. I don’t care anymore, especially after the new smoking rules.”
