Winning in European Roulette

American roulette or European roulette?

Between American and European roulette, European roulette is the favorite of casino players in either offline or online casinos because it offers better odds to the players.

To illustrate, the American roulette has thirty eight slots with zero and double zero while the European roulette has thirty seven slots with just one zero. The house edge of American roulette is doubled with 5.3 percent compared to the European roulette that has 1.24 percent house edge.

The doubled house edge of American roulette is less likely to land you a win so it is better if you will try your luck spinning the European roulette. Aside from the lowered house edge in European roulette, there are some ways to reduce the house edge to your advantage.

Reducing the house edge further is possible by betting on the good odds. Good odds may mean that you have to play odds that are near to the payouts. Odds near to their payouts are the even money bets.

Even money bets are can be odd, even low numbers of one through eighteen and high numbers nineteen through thirty six either red or black. The payout odds are 1:1 and you still have an additional forty five percent of probability in winning.

Another way of winning the European roulette is betting even money bets while using the en prison rule. The En prison rule works like this, if you bet and the ball lands on the zero, it means that you will not loose your bet instead it will stay for the next spin. Then if in the next spin, your bet wins, you can now get winnings.

If you calculate it mathematically, the house edge has decreased in half with just 1.35 percent. This is considered the best odds a roulette player can have.

Do not just bet on one number, it will be a good option if you have different bets that use the same technique. Other bets may have poor odds while seven number odds has poorer odds so try to avoid them unless you really feel lucky.

Some players are using systems that will help them further lower the odds to their advantage but in European roulette, you can win with or without systems. You just have to bet on the varying good money bets and observe the en prison rule.

In the end, European roulette is an exciting game with higher advantage of winning over American roulette and that is why it is a well loved game in casinos.
