The American game of Roulette is a descendant of the European version. The Americans pride themselves on their ability to play Roulette as a challenge to their casino skills. Actually, the game of Roulette is very popular with Americas despite the fact that their version of the game puts them at a disadvantage.
In my opinion, it is very difficult to successful at the American game of Roulette because of the fact that every bet you make places you at a disadvantage. The advantage is to the house, since there are 37 numbers, while the payoff is only 35:1. Sure, if you scatter the board recklessly with plays on numbers without any rationale for the betting sequence, you’re bound to win on a number or two. However, you’ll be losing each and every hand that you play because of the fact that you’re betting against yourself. If you bet $5 on the #36 and it comes up, you win 5x $35 which equals $175. But, if you scatter bets all over the Roulette board, you need to subtract those losses from your winnings. So, instead of winning at 35-1 odds, you win was only at 17-1 odds at most.
The American version has an extra space on its wheel which further reduces your odds for success. I play and win on the game of American roulette by betting two numbers straight and a column bet on each role. My hunches have been working quite well.
