Gambling Tips

Spinning the Wheel

One of the great virtues of roulette is that it's a simple and sexy game of chance. In Europe, roulette has an association with tuxedoes (very "00" 7) and well dressed women flippantly throwing chips onto the emerald green table while watching the ball bounce over the red and black. There is an air of nobility and elegance which makes this game both exciting and beautiful. When you envision the roulette wheel, you envision casino gambling in its most quintessential, stylish guise that works well in the online arena too.

There are many roulette betting strategies, with each one being more complicated and elaborate than the next. We have set out a few hints and tips that should hold you in good stead. We call it the "insert you name" strategy.

1) Always pick European roulette, it has one 0 and gives you a better chance of winning in the long run over American Roulette which two 00, which greatly increases the house edge.

2) Test the waters by betting small amounts. Once you start to get a good run where your block of numbers keeps coming up, or you have had a few banker numbers win, increase your stake. By doing this, if the block comes up again then that will increase your betting bank.

3) Try and play on multi-play Roulette tables. It's always more fun when playing with others plus it makes you feel easier knowing that there won't be any favouritism and you'll most definitely learn more by watching others bet, even picking up a few tips.

4) The Red and black system: Decide on a colour and place the minimum stake. Usually with online casinos it's $1. Keep backing that colour until it wins doubling your stake every time it loses. For example, $1, $2, $4, $8, $16 etc. When you win your original stake, $1, back the opposite colour and do the same again. Usually on average you win every 3 or 4 times using this system. Watch out for the table maximum, this system doesn't always work but you can play for hours.

5) Ignore the fads and the many theories regarding Roulette. Don't get me wrong, it's very interesting to read peoples systems and then trying them out! There is nothing wrong with that as it's all down to sheer luck when it comes to Roulette.

6) Try the online demo games offering by an increasing amount of online casinos. These are great because they allow you to try a game and get a feel for the functions before you bet real money on them. You can also practice a betting patter or strategy, or simply take a break from betting and still enjoy playing without the stress of a real-money wager.

7) Never chase losses: This goes for any online casino game. If you have just lost a large sum of money, some people will try and make that money up by making more bets. This is a very reckless form of play and will only lead to losing your money faster.

And remember, the wheel has no memory!

Bookies loose out after football match ends as predicted

Bookmakers in Britain were left reeling yesterday after a heavily backed, unheard of game between Italian teams Chievo and Catania finished with a draw.

Alerts were raised last Thursday which caused no less than seven bookies to close the books on the game. A massive £2 million was wagered on the game to finish as a draw, which it did with the help of a late penalty kick.

Despite halting bets on the game the companies have to pay out to the lucky ones that got their bets in before the closure point.

A spokesman for online betting company Victor Chandler said “We feel vindicated”. Betfair confirmed that the unusual game had been heavily backed as a draw on their website.

Corruption is well known to take place in Italian football with several clubs and players being disciplined in recent years.
