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!

All I have on my mind these days is money. Now there are many ways to earn money, especially if you are into online gambling. As you know, I play Blackjack online every other day and make a tidy sum. When I get bored I move on to play Roulette online. If I really tired and feel too exhausted to bother with Blackjack card counting, I play slots online. All of this fetches me money. But you know what is really cool? It is all the free casino cash I get in the form of free casino bonus.

Of course, I am well aware that most casinos make a series of tempting free casino bonus offers to get players to sign-up. But I have found a way to outsmart them. You know what I do? I go casino-hopping. I know those casinos out there are lying in wait for “loyal” customers who stay long after the bonus dries up. But that would mean my loss and the casino’s gain.

Every week, I track down at least half-a-dozen online casinos with generous free casino bonus offers. I then log on to one, earn my bonus, play on till I clear the free casino bonus and then move to another. I make the most at every site I stop by and believe me, whenever I have stopped to check what I made, the returns from a free casino bonus are simply awesome.

But then, there are a few things to keep in mind when I sign-up with an eye on the free casino bonus. I go through the terms and conditions on the site with a magnifying glass. Though a free casino bonus is basically free money that you get to play with to satisfy play through requirements, it is not uniform across the sites. Remember the 10x max cash out stipulation? It means you need to bet ten times the bonus before you qualify to withdraw the free casino bonus.

Though this may sound daunting at first, if one is adept at the game cashing a free casino bonus is no big deal. So I have concluded that while the free casino bonus is aimed at fresh players, it is veterans like me who get the most out of them. What say you?

I’m so freaking mad with online casinos. It’s getting so bad that I can’t find normal players at the roulette table. Everyone is planning, strategizing, warning, evaluating …everything else but playing. It’s time to bust the myths that are going around, so that people just get down to playing at online casinos. Me thinks style is missing round them roulette tables.

Myth 1: A good strategy is central to winning roulette at the online casinos.
Truth: Roulette’s other name is Wheel of Fortune. So the way it spins and how the ball drops, is a matter of chance. It is meant to entertain like most online casino games. If you wish to calculate the speed of the spin and the momentum of the ball, enroll for practical physics lessons.

Myth 2: Probability charts can help you bet on the numbers where the ball is most likely to stop and you will win at online casinos.
Truth: That’s like saying all players should bet on number 17 because James Bond does it. But you should understand your wager at online casinos is affected by many factors besides the winning number. Whether the number is odd or even, whether it is colored red or black, whether it is high or low, part of a column or a dozen, influences the decision at online casinos.

Myth 3: Studying the rules and learning the game at free online casinos will prepare you to win the ‘real’ thing.
Truth: Roulette is not an exam. The best way to understand the game is to play it at an online casino. If someone’s telling you online casinos let you play Roulette to win and make money, don’t buy it. There is such a thing as house advantage.

Myth 4: Betting on half the numbers –that is 19 out of 38, in American Roulette will give you a 50-50 chance of winning at online casinos.
Truth: Even if you do win, the 35:1 bet would fetch you less profits than when you lose! Let us say you wager $1 on each of the 19 numbers; one number is hit and you win $35. Minus $18 for the numbers you lost and you are left $ 17. It is equally possible you will lose the $ 19. This is a too-good-to-be-true promotion!

Just turn on the style, folks
