Spin the wheel, place your bets and wait for the ball to fall into a pocket. That is all there is to roulette. The game is designed in such a way that it is obvious that it is based on sheer chance. Still, people gather around the roulette table with excitement and await the outcome with bated breath. This no doubt adds to the entertainment value of the game, but unfortunately, it also gives rise to several myths.

Let me help you analyze the many myths associated with this amazing game. You will see for yourself what I mean.

A Mathematical System Can Help You Win Roulette

You can try out as many permutations and combinations that you wish. Yet, the fact remains that chance is the only factor that determines the roll of the ball. All that Math can do is calculate the odds. And let me tell you the odds of every roulette bet is exactly the same on the next spin as it was on the spin before. And that is 1 out of 38. Try predicting the outcome of a spin based on this…you simply cannot. This is true both in online roulette and land-based.

Look Out For the Dealer’s Signature

This concerns land-based casinos. People theorize that it is possible for the dealer to spin the wheel in a certain way, after all they do it every day of their lives! But is it really humanly possible to do so to ensure a certain outcome, repeatedly? Use your common sense, a dealer’s signature, if it does exist cannot help you win. Also, the wheel is checked and calibrated, oh-so-often that is becomes impossible to manipulate it. So while the wheel can be affected by friction, air pressure, motion, balance and so on, it remains random.

This Number is Due, it Has Not Been Hit For Long

As mentioned earlier, the probability of a number being hit remains constant –1 in 38, if it is an American wheel and 1 in 37, if it is European roulette. Just because a number or color has not been hit, it does not mean the next hit will reveal that number or color. Remember, the ball has no memory.

Go For a Wide-Bet

Let us say you place a bet on half the numbers on an American Roulette table. With 19 numbers ‘covered’ you probably think you have a good chance of winning. Let us further say you have bet $1 on each of the 19 spots. You get lucky and hit ONE spot. Let us further assume that you win $35 on the 35:1 bet. Which means you earned a $17 profit (remember, you lost $18 on the spots that you failed to hit). Let us say you lose. You will be poorer by $19. Even if you have a huge appetite for risk, you are most likely to lose more than you win if you seriously pursue this strategy!
