Real Money Online Roulette Tips

September 17, 2011

Online Roulette players can improve their odds of winning money when they follow the tips in this post. Obviously Roulette doesn’t have any complex strategies like Blackjack but you can increase the chance of winning none the less. When you play real money online Roulette you should be aware of the version that you are playing. There are two main versions of online  Roulette and the difference in the odds is vast. I will discuss these two variants and offer a couple more Roulette tips that will help you when you play online.

Single Zero Vs Double Zero Roulette – Tip #1

The house edge on almost every bet at a double zero (American) Roulette table is 5.26%. This basically means that on average a $100 wager will pay out $94.74. The more popular single zero Roulette game’s house edge is 2.63%. When it comes to casino gambling you want to play the games that are as close to 50:50 as possible. Vegas casinos tend to offer both Roulette versions but restrict the single zero game to medium and high stakes bettors. I’ve never been a fan of this policy because it gives well bankrolled gamblers an advantage over everyone else.

Online casinos are different though. You will not have any trouble finding a single zero Roulette table that has a minimum bet of $1 or less.

Bankroll Management For Online Roulette – Tip #2

Proper bankroll management is just as important in Roulette as it is in poker. You should always play within your means. In this case bankroll management has another definition. You should set strict goals when you play Roulette for real money. As with any casino game you will lose all of your money if you play long enough. Knowing when to quit when you are head and cutting your losses when Lady Luck isn’t smiling at you will help you win more money.

$200 bankroll:

  • With a $200 bankroll you should be placing wagers of $5 or less on the 1:1 bets like Red/Black and Odd/Even. Your maximum limit for single number bets should be $2 or less.
  • Goal: If you are having a good run at the Roulette table it is important for you to know when to walk away a winner. I typically end my session if I have won 50%-100% of my bankroll. So if you sit with $200 a good goal would be $300-$400. If you think that your luck will hold you should at least lower the amount of your wagers so a bad streak will not eat too much of your profit.
  • Cutting Losses – Every real money Roulette player has experienced a bad run. Sometimes you just can’t seem to win anything. I always suggest that players should walk away if they have lost 25% of their original bankroll.

When you are down never increase your bets with the goal of winning your money back in mind. If anything you should lower your bets and see if your luck changes. Online Roulette is perfect because you can place wagers that are 90-99% lower than you can at brick and mortar casinos.

Speed Control in Roulette – Tip #3

Online casino software usually boasts an option to customize your speed. When you play at extremely high speeds it can cause you to lose perspective on your winnings or losses. Live Roulette has an average speed of around 25-40 spins per hour. Internet Roulette players can easily clock in at around 500-750 spins per hour.

You should be very cautious when playing at these speeds. Online Roulette players have been known to develop something like tunnel vision and they lose track of their bankroll rules and objectives.
