A Basic Strategy for Premium American Roulette

When playing Premium American Roulette, it is advised to place even money bets on the betting table that have an almost 50% chance of winning. That includes betting on red or black, odd or even, or high or low. Whilst the payout doubles your stake, the chances of winning are also fairly high.

Many roulette strategies are based on playing even money bets. Some of the most popular roulette strategies include:

  • The Martingale – this system involves doubling your bet after each loss in order to eventually recoup your losses and make a profit.
  • The Reverse Martingale This strategy is also known as the "Paroli" system, and it involves increasing your bet after each win.
  • The D’Alembert - This system is similar to the Martingale, but instead of doubling your bet after each loss, you increase it by one unit.
  • The Fibonacci - This strategy involves using a specific sequence of numbers to determine your bet, rather than doubling or increasing it by a fixed amount.
  • The Labouchère - This system involves using a specific sequence of numbers to determine your bet and crossing off numbers as you win or lose.

These are just a few of the most popular betting systems that can be used when playing Premium American Roulette. Essentially, the best way to increase your chances of winning is by ensuring that you do not burn through your bankroll too quickly.
