Roulette Rules & Betting Strategies

Master European, American, and French roulette variants

Understanding Roulette Variants

There are three main variants of roulette: European (single zero), American (double zero), and French roulette. European and French roulette offer better odds with a house edge of 2.7%, while American roulette has a house edge of 5.26% due to the extra zero.

Types of Bets

Roulette offers various betting options including inside bets (straight up, split, street, corner, six line) and outside bets (red/black, odd/even, high/low, dozens, columns). Each bet type has different odds and payouts.

Betting Systems

Popular betting systems include Martingale, Fibonacci, and D'Alembert. However, it's important to understand that no betting system can overcome the house edge in the long run. These systems can help manage your bankroll but cannot guarantee wins.

Why the House Edge Matters

The house edge is built into every roulette game. No strategy can change the mathematical advantage the casino has. The best approach is to choose European or French roulette (lower house edge) and manage your bankroll responsibly.
