GAMBLING TIPS AND RULES FOR ROULETTE

Roulette Rules and Statistical Odds

A roulette wheel has 38 individually numbered pockets in which the rotating ball can rest.  There are an equal number of red and black numbers, 18 each, from 1 to 36, plus 0 and 00 which are both green.

You can bet on 18 Numbers, called and Even Bet. Place your chips on either Red or Black, Even or Odd, 1 to 18, or 19 to 36. Payout is 1 to 1 or Even Money.

Single Numbers  - Place your chips on that number. Payout is 35 to 1.

Two Numbers - Place your chips on the line between any two numbers, Payout is 17 to 1

Three Numbers - Place your chips on the outer line. If playing 1, 2, 3 place your chips on the outer line of 1. Payout is 11 to 1.

Four Numbers - Place your chips on the intersection between 4 numbers. Payout is 8 to 1

Five Numbers You may bet on five numbers in only one set. They are 0, 00, 1, 2, 3. Payout is 6 to 1.

Six Numbers - Place your chips on the intersection line between two streets. this is called a "line bet" such as the
outer edge of numbers 25 and 28 to cover numbers 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. Payout is 5 to 1.

Twelve Numbers - Place your chips on a column, the 2 to 1 space at the bottom of the layout and play (1, 4, 7, 10,13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34) in column 1, or either of the other two columns of numbers, or by placing your chips in "1st 12", "2nd 12",
or "3rd 12". Payout is 2 to 1.

Like any other game the best strategy is to stand back and watch for a while. Keep track of red and black. If black or red show up in succession (four or more times) the statistics would favor betting on the opposite color. Patience always pays off in any game. Roulette requires little skill and a lot of luck. But statistics always win in the long term.

Gambling in Casinos like in Las Vegas are very tempting. Remember, they get the majority of their profits from the losses of the public. If you gamble, read up on the rules and practice the strategies. You should have a specific amount to play with to lose and when reached you should quit. If you're winning....take the orginal amount you started with and put it away, then only play with the remaining winnings. Manage your money. If you or someone you know has a compulsive gambling problem then please check out Gamblers Anonymous. www.gamblersanonymous.org
