Online Roulette: One of the tactics that some online gamblers use to good effect at the roulette wheel is to look for streaks. But you’d be surprised how many times, if you play for long enough, certain patterns start to emerge. One thing you’ve no doubt experienced yourself in an “offline” casino is the phenomenon of the repeat winner. Let’s say you’ve covered 14 and 16, but 15 comes up. You’re frustrated, but it happens. Next spin, you cover your lucky numbers of 14 and 16 once again. And guess what? Fifteen… As a long-term strategy, it’s not a bad option to place a chip on the number that’s just won. The next time, it’ll be someone else who has covered 14 and 16, and you’ll be the one smiling. Online, you’ll be able to see what numbers have come up, and it’s a good idea to keep a note of them. The display on screen will probably show the last dozen or so winning numbers, then they will disappear off the screen. Make a note of the numbers, and you’ll see that there are streaks that occur. Statistically, for example, red and black should come up 50 per cent of the time each – give or take a little bit to allow for the zero. But you’ll often see that there are five or six red numbers that win in a row, say, or that even numbers come up seven successive times. You can take two views on this. On the one hand, you might think that if six blacks have won in a row, it’s a great idea to put a few chips on red – just has to happen, right? On the other hand, there are many people who love riding streaks. As soon as there have been three or four black winners in a row, they will be placing their chips on black and seeing just how long this statistical oddity lasts. If you fancy something different when you’re playing roulette, you could go European and get involved in announced bets. Those players were using a European system to cover certain numbers that correspond to areas of the roulette wheel. These are commonly known as “French bets”, and most casinos offer them.
Voisins (called Grand Voisins du Zero in full) covers the 17 numbers lying between 22 and 25 on the wheel, including those two numbers. Another bet, the “zero spiel” covers the numbers closest to zero. They are zero itself and 12, 35, 3, 26, 32 and 15.
