Players, usually
up to eight, play against the house represented by the croupier
also called the dealer, who spins the roulette wheel and handles
the wagers and payouts. In the European roulette and French
roulette version, the wheel has 37 slots representing 36 numbers
and one zero. In the USA most roulette wheels have two zeros
and therefore 38 slots.

To play roulette,
you place your bet or bets on numbers (any number including
the zero) in the table layout or on the outside, and when
everybody at the table had a chance to place their bets,
the croupier starts the spin and launches the ball. Just
a few moments before the ball is about to drop over the
slots, the croupier says 'no more bets'. From that moment
no one is allowed to place - or change - their bets until
the ball drops on a slot. Only after the croupier places
the dolly on the winning number on the roulette table
and clears all the losing bets you can then start placing
your new bets while the croupier pays the winners. The
winners are those bets that are on or around the number
that comes up. Also the bets on the outside of the layout
win if the winning number is represented.
The payouts
A bet on one number only, called a straight-up bet, pays
35 to 1. (You collect 36. With no house advantage you
should collect 37 (38 in the USA on double zero roulette
wheels).
A two-number bet, called split bet, pays 17 to 1.
A three-number bet, called street bet, pays 11 to 1.
A four-number bet, called corner bet, pays 8 to 1.
A six-number bet, pays 5 to 1.
A bet on the outside dozen or column, pays 2 to 1.
A bet on the outside even money bets, pays 1 to 1.
To win at roulette the player needs to predict where the
ball will land after each spin. This is by no means easy.
In fact, luck plays an important part in this game. Some
players go with the winning numbers calling them 'hot'
numbers and therefore likely to come up more times. Others
see which numbers did not come up for some time and bet
on them believing that their turn is now due. Some players
bet on many numbers to increase their chances of winning
at every spin, but this way the payout is considerably
reduced. Other methodical players use specific roulette
systems or methods, money management systems, or both.

Roulette, contrary to popular belief,
is a game that offers various opportunities to win despite
the house edge of (ugh) at least 5%. There are two reasons
for this. One, the number of options for betting open
to the customer offer great hedge opportunities and two,
it is a streaky game. Furthermore, if you can find a wheel
with just one zero (and there are some in both Reno and
Vegas), you cut that house edge in half on the outside
bets. Learn to beat this game with the Regression system
in conjunction with hedges or with the Action-Number system,
a system that spreads your money around the entire wheel,
giving you the best chance to win. This knowledge alone
is great, but it is Patrick's philosophy that is the real
meat and potatoes of being competitive. There is simply
the most logical approach to beating this game written
in this book. There are critcisms that this book is redundant
in terms of the philosophy that Mr. Patrick teaches. I
have a reply to these silly criticisms. Winning isn't
complicated, it's just real hard to do. Get this book
and open up another opportunity for yourself to be a winner
during your next trip to the casinos. |

Spin Roulette Gold
The
reviewer from Malaysia didn't understand a fundamental
princple of roulette. If the wheel is random there are
NO WINNING SYSTEMS. Scoblete explains that in the book
and takes a look at all the most popular betting systems
that have been developed to beat the game. None work in
the long run on random wheels as he shows clearly. However,
this book does have winning strategies in it; and it does
show how to maximize comps as well. You just have to realize
that no reputable author is going to sell pie-in-the-sky
winning systems for a random wheel. But Scoblete does
the next best thing. He shows you techniques for discovering
biases, dealer signatures, big numbers, sector shooters
and the like. This is a really well written book and it
has thousands of actual-roulette spins recorded so you
can play your system without actually risking money. This
is a great book.
