Roulette is simple, easy to play and exciting, with a wide variety of bets and combination of bets, some at long odds and some at even odds. This is a short list of simple to remember, and easy to follow roulette tips. The fact is, there are no roulette tips that will make you a bundle, but there are some that may keep you from losing one.

1. For an efficient betting strategy aim to win more money in fewer winning spins.

2. Take into account probability, but don’t rely on it. Use it to make an approximate assessment of what you could expect on a long run.

3. If you are influenced by previous results, then learn to bet with the outcome and not against it. You will eventually realize that it makes no difference. If anything, the ‘law of unequal distribution’ will be on your side.

Remember, the two major factors that determine how much you win or lose at roulette are:
a) your luck on the day
b) deciding when is the best time to quit.

4. On a very bad day, no sum of wagering money or degree of skill will make you a winner. Don’t persist. Cut your losses early.

5. Don’t challenge the mathematical advantage of the casino. You cannot eliminate or change it and you don’t need to. It is not your adversary unless you choose to make it that way and you will lose - slowly but surely. It is relatively small considering the sums of money that can be won or lost in a very short space of time. Think of it as a necessary and acceptable contribution or a tax towards paying the cost of the gaming equipment and salaries of the casino personnel. Remember, you pay it if and when you win only. (See Roulette quiz, the casino advantage - when you win the casino wins.)

If you are new to the roulette game, you are probably thinking of the possibility to come up with a mathematical roulette system that excludes luck, but before you attempt at that, consider the next two tips.

6. Mathematics and gambling don’t mix. In mathematics you know exactly what will happen. Gambling is the exact opposite, you never know what will happen, otherwise it wouldn’t be gambling. If you try to calculate the possibilities of winning mathematically, it is unlikely that you will get anywhere even if there was no casino advantage - no 0, 00.

7. No system tester has ever produced a conclusive positive result for a roulette system - not once. That’s because the luck factor will always be missing. If you devise your own system, try it out for real in actual play and don’t rely on collected lists of decisions. The free on-line and off-line casino games are useful to carry out preliminary tests. Remember, luck cannot be quantified or spread evenly and recorded lists of decisions will never reoccur again in that order. The probability of a sequence of just four numbers coming up again in the same order is 1/38 x 1/38 x 1/38 x 1/38 = 1/2,085,136. That’s one in two million.

8. Avoid the 5 number bet

Always avoid the five number bet (covering 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3), it has the least profitable payback of all the bets. The house advantage on this bet is a whopping 7.89 percent.

9. Statistically speaking, previous outcomes are no indication of future outcomes. Each and every spin holds the exact same probability (odds) for an outcome. However, if you?re one to believe that previous outcomes indicate probable future outcomes, bet with the flow, otherwise known as streaks. Just remember that over the long haul, probability rules.

10. Practice

More and more online casinos are offering free, practice or demo versions of some of the games they offer. This is a great way to try out a casino before you commit to becoming a player and gamble real money. You can see if you like the layout, the ease of use, the rules and any variations, even the speed of play. Knowing these things in advance can make you a more successful player in the future.

The Web site GoldenTigerCasino.com is a great way to practice! You can either play for free or bet with real money.
