Live roulette or basic roulette is not the kind of game where the outcome of which can be affected by effort or strategy. The result is based on which slot of the wheel the ball will land, after both are rotated in opposite directions. You can see that this rotation is a totally random event, and out of a player's control. The maximum that can be done is to follow certain practices which can increase your chances of winning and hope for lady luck to smile on you.

First of all, there are two kinds of roulette wheels: European and American. The European wheel has 36 numbers and a single 0 - total 37 slots, while the American one has same 36 numbers, a zero and a double zero ('00') - total 38 slots. So, you can see that in American roulette, the probability that the player wins is 1/38 which is slightly less than 1/37 of the European roulette. So mathematically, you are a little better off choosing the European roulette table of a live casino.

Unlike real casinos, their online versions have a practice mode, in which you can play without money. This feature should be utilized to practice and get familiar with the game. Then after you are comfortable, you can go ahead and create an account to play with money. A thorough reading of the casino rule book should also be done, so as not to be confronted with an unexpected rule later during play.

In online live roulette, there is generally an option of seeing the history of your game - your past bets, how much you won or lost. This information should be utilized to find a pattern and learn about your strengths and weaknesses. This will enable you to make better bets.

Then there are different types of bets in roulette with different odds of payout. For example, straight bets have a payout of 35 to 1, row bets: 11 to 1, corner bets: 8 to 1, column bets: 2 to 1, and even, odd, red, black bets: 1 to 1. You should have a thorough understanding of these bets and use them depending on the situation.

There is also a belief in some players that even numbers come up more because they are more than odd numbers. So you can try this and place bets on even numbers.

Being at a casino and playing roulette is not just about winning, but also about having maximum fun while suffering minimum loss, and properly managing yourself and the game is all it takes. Play to lose only up to a limit and exit when you reach that ceiling. This ensures real enjoyment of the game.
