Some Roulette Myths Not to Be Believed
Called the "king" of casino games, roulette is exciting, alluring and enchanting, but how does one win? Several roulette myths have grown up around the game. Many players believe that these roulette myths will help you "beat the house" or make a big win. However, other roulette players will tell you to stay away from the roulette myths.
1. The first of these roulette myths is that all roulette wheels are the same, so you can play your game or strategy alike at all wheels. Well, this is definitely not so. The European wheel has only one 0 pocket which means that the total pockets are 37. The American wheel has two 0 pockets making a total of 38 which raises the house advantage. On American wheels the house advantage is 5.25% while on the European wheel it is only 2.7%. So logically one should always look for a European wheel.
2. The second of the most popular and most common roulette myths is that the spins are not random. This, of course, makes no sense at all. In land casinos the wheels are checked and calibrated all the time so it is impossible for previous spins to have any affect on the outcome of upcoming spins.
Many new players think that if the ball has fallen on red ten times in a row then black has a better chance of coming up next. Or, if some numbers have not "hit" for a long time, one of them will surely come up next.
3. The mathematical system is another of the roulette myths. However, if there is no past data or record for the spins, there is no way to create a mathematical system. Roulette is purely a game of chance. Any system that claims to be able to win you money is just pulling your leg.
4. Then there is the money management system which claims to affect the house advantage. However, the house advantage never changes. It is there before you apply your management system and it will be there after you have applied the system. You really cannot manage it at all.
All of these roulette myths should be avoided if you want to enjoy the game and perhaps win a bit of money. Einstein has been quoted as saying that "you cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it". Many people play and enjoy roulette and don't forget the legendary Englishman, Ashley Revell, who, in 2004, liquidated all his assets to the tune of $135,300, went to Las Vegas and put all his chips on Red. The croupier spun the wheel and in one spin, Revell doubled his money - $270,600. He tipped the croupier $600 and walked out with the rest! That might be counted as one of the roulette myths.
