Outside Bets in roulette
These bets are laid on the combinations mentioned on the outer part of the betting chart. Outside bets have high odds but pay less. For example, Dozen bets and Column or Betting on 12 numbers can fetch you 2x your stake. Other Outside bets are High/Low, Even/Odd.
Before you start betting, select a table that has a low minimum Outside bet but the maximum Outside bet. This is because low rollers would always want to minimise their losses while maximising their gains. Please remember that every outcome is an independent event.
Fibonacci and Martingale betting strategies
This strategy follows the Fibonacci series.It goes like this; 1,1,2,3,5,.. If you notice the every succeeding number is the sum of its two previous numbers. Place your first bet at $1. If you lose it, bet $1 again. If you lose this money again, bet $2 and so on.
- Abandon your game when you are on a winning streak.
- Continuing with this strategy for long can wipe off your winnings
In Martingale strategy, you bet on a Black or Red colour and continue to double your stake until one or two things happen; 1. Either you recover all your previous losses and/ or win some small profit. So, first bet will be 2, then 4, and so on.
Common mistakes while playing roulette
Don't choose any roulette version without giving a thought. The house edge in European roulette is 2.7 % while in the American version it is 5.26%. Obviously, playing on the former improves your odds significantly. Before playing this exceedingly fast game, set up your budget.
Don't stick to just one betting strategy. If you are winning with Fibonacci, change your strategy after some time because it can erode your winnings at any time of the game. Don't place too many bets in the same game. Remember, that the house edge remains the same.
