If one wants to make a small fortune at a casino it is best to start with a big one. This is an age old saying and one that is always worth bearing in mind if one is going to gamble.

Gambling is fun. It is one of those things that most of us learn early in life playing such games as rummy, pontoon and various other games of chance. As kids though the chances are we played for matches. It is only later when real money becomes involved that gambling becomes serious.

The fact that Casino's exist at all is a measure of the store that many people have in gambling, and most people who enter a casino are sure they are going to win. The truth of the matter is that there will always be some who win, some even winning a huge amount. Casinos love to publicize big winners because they draw in the wannabes. The truth is that the Casino is always going to win. The odds do not accumulate and across the thousands of spins of a roulette wheel, the thousands of throws of the dice and the millions of turns of the cards the odds will even out and the Casino, which has the edge, will win its percentage.

Roulette is the easiest ...
... game to play in a casino as there are no cards to remember not any complicated rules to remember. All one has to do is simply place a bet on the slot the little white ball will drop into after it settles down.

The odds are very straight forward.

There are the "Even" bets. That is Red or Black, Even or Odd, or 1st 18 or 2nd 18. If the ball settles in a slot that matches the bet you have placed then you are paid double if not you lose the bet.
The Bets that pay double. : Ist, 2nd or 3rd dozen, 1st, 2nd or 3rd column. It should be noted that many casinos have a minimum value that must be placed on any one of the above bets.

Betting on six numbers in sequence improves your odds somewhat and it pays out 5 times the bet,

Betting on 4 numbers pays 8 to 1 , 3numbers pays 11 to 1, 2 numbers pays 17 and if one gets a single number then one gets paid 35 to 1.

In almost all these instance the casino is going to win out because it has an edge. It has the 0 and the 00. This means that it is guaranteed to make an average of just over 5% on the total turnover of money on each table.

These are the worst odds for the punter and the best odds for the house on any game in a casino. But someone will have that indefinable thing called luck on their side and walk out of the casino with a large win. In fact every night there will be a few large winners, a few medium winners and break evens and a great many more people who leave the casino having lost a great deal, while the casino will quietly take the 5% profit and reopen the next day to reap in another 5%.

Roulette Odds, being what they are realise that the chances of you winning is at best 47%. So enjoy your betting and do not ever play with money that you cannot afford to lose.

Playing games in a casino is fun. If you understand the Roulette Odds then you can enjoy the game until you have confidence to play other games.
