The number 12, 14, and 16 all appear diagonally to add up to 42. And when you add number 2 and 4, the result is 6 of course! The third reference – Three numbers appearing horizontally on the Roulette wheel adds to six, and the numbers 28, 29, and 30 are inscribed horizontally towards the rear.

Remember to stay realistic about the long odds on this popular game of chance. Approach roulette with the sober realization that, with a house advantage of 5.26 percent on the American wheel, roulette is among the worst bets in a casino. Despite the odds, you can still use some simple strategies to stretch your roulette bankroll and enjoy the thrill of the spin. This article contains a few tips that can help you improve your chances of winning.

Roulette is a drain on your wallet simply because the game doesn’t pay what the bets are worth. With 38 numbers (1 to 36, plus 0 and 00), the true odds of hitting a single number on a straight-up bet are 37 to 1, but the house pays only 35 to 1 if you win! Ditto the payouts on the combination bets. This discrepancy is where the house gets its huge edge in roulette.

The numbers 1 to 36 are assigned the colors black and red, while the numbers 00 and 0 are colored green. In the betting process, roulette players can choose to place their bets on any of the roulette numbers in the roulette table or bet on colors red or black, odd or even, and numbers 1 to 18 or 19 to 36.

Starting with the basics

Strategy is critical if you want to increase your odds of winning. The first time you play roulette, the players sprinkling the layout with chips may look as if they’re heaping pepperoni slices on a pizza. You can make many different bets as long as you stay within the table’s maximum limits. Consequently, few players make just one bet at a time.

Of course, the more bets you make, the more complicated and challenging it is to follow all the action. Here are two possible plans of attack to simplify matters:

Stick to the table minimum and play only the outside bets. For example, bet on either red or black for each spin. This type of outside bet pays 1 to 1 and covers 18 of the 38 possible combinations.

Place two bets of equal amounts on two outside bets: one bet on an even-money play and the other on a column or dozen that pays 2 to 1. For example, place one bet on black and one bet on Column Three, which has eight red numbers. That way, you have 26 numbers to hit, 4 of which you cover twice. You can also make a bet on red and pair it with a bet on Column Two, which has eight black numbers. Again, you cover 26 numbers, and 4 of them have two ways to win. Pairing a bet on either red or black with Column One (or on one of the three dozens) covers 24 numbers, and 6 numbers have two ways of winning. Spreading bets like this won’t make you rich, but it does keep things interesting at the table.

Playing a European wheel

If you happen to find a single-zero European wheel, you greatly improve your odds: The house edge is half that of roulette with the American wheel — only 2.63 percent. You may see a European wheel at one of the posh Vegas casinos, such as Bellagio, Mirage, or Caesars Palace. If you can’t find one on the floor, it’s probably tucked away in the high-limit area along with the baccarat tables, so you may need to ask. You can also find the single-zero wheel at some other upscale casinos around the country.

Because casinos set aside the European wheel for high rollers, you’re likely to find a higher table minimum, say $25. But because the house edge is half that of a double-zero wheel, the European wheel is the better roulette game to play for bigger bettors.

Your chances of winning get even better if the casino offers an advantageous rule called en prison. Sometimes available on the European wheel, the en prison rule lowers the house edge even further to a reasonable 1.35 percent. The rule applies to even-money bets. For example, say you have a $10 bet riding on black. If the ball lands on zero, your even-money bet doesn’t win or lose but remains locked up for one more spin. If the ball lands on black on the next spin, the house returns your original bet of $10, but you don’t win anything. If the ball lands on red, you lose. And if the ball repeats the zero number again, your bet stays imprisoned for another round.

Do you have a lucky number? We have several. Do they drop in for us on the roulette table? Well, we like to think they do, but to be honest, we have never done a scientific analysis of it.

Numbers play an important part in all cultures. In the west, the number 7 is lucky and the number 13 is seen as unlucky, for example, whereas in Chinese cities, buildings often don’t have a fourth floor as that number is seen as unlucky. The roulette number 8, in contrast, is seen as very lucky in China. Numbers that add up to 8 like the number 26 are also seen as lucky (it also sounds a bit like “easy profitable” in Cantonese.)

That’s what this section is all about. We are going to run though all of the numbers on a roulette wheel (bear with us, there are 37 of them), and we’ll explore whether the number has any specific meaning in different cultures and we’ll list some interesting facts and stories associated with it.

Is this one of those roulette tips that will help you pick a winner on a single number bet? Well, no, but it’ll be fun anyway. And it might help you pick the number. Who knows? It might be the winner, but we’re not going to claim any credit for it even though we are a bit superstitious.

Numbers have long held a fascination for cultures around the world. They seem to be the building blocks of the universe and somewhere in there is the answer to that age old question “what makes the universe tick?”

Numbers are not numerals by the way. Numerals are symbols used to represent numbers.

So the Romans, for example, used “V” for 5 and “X” for 10. Natural numbers (numbers that you use for counting) are the ones you’ll find on a roulette wheel. For most of history, the natural numbers began with 1 and then in the 19th century, mathematicians included 0. 00 has never been used in maths by the way!

The Main Types of Numbers

Please bear in mind that the roulette odds of all the numbers on the wheel are the same. We are not suggesting otherwise as they all take up the same amount of space on the wheel (well, if the wheel is biased or is imperfect they may not all be equal, but the difference will be very very small). That being said, let’s continue…..

Mathematicians talk of integers, which are whole numbers (not fractions) that can be positive, negative, or zero. So all of the numbers in roulette are integers, apart from the 00 which is a special that you only see in roulette.

One of the most popular bets on the roulette wheel is the even/odd bet, an outside even money bet. And this is one of the main classifications of numbers generally. An even number is can be divided two to give a natural number (i.e. one that is not a fraction or does not have a decimal point- which would be a real number). The rest are odd numbers. 0 is a special case of course. Actually, it is not really. It passes the even number test easily- so it is even. (I guess we get confused due to history. The Greeks didn’t even consider that 0 was a number).

Any number that can be split into 2 to make another whole number is even. If you halve zero, you get zero, so it passes this test.
Also, the neighbours of even numbers have odd numbers either side of them. Zero also passes this one – minus one and one sit either side of it.

Prime Numbers

A quick video from the Khan Academy explaining Prime Numbers.

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that you cannot make by multiplying together two smaller whole numbers. Prime numbers have fascinated people for thousands of years.

As the Khan Academy says, prime numbers have been studied by mathematicians and mystics for a long time. They are both basic and mysterious. The more you learn about them, the more you discover that the universe is a fascinating place. The video above is from the Khan Academy and is an introduction to the magic of prime numbers.

The following is a list of the prime numbers on a roulette wheel: 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31. Here is a list of the first 1000 prime numbers– it might give you some inspiration on those straight up bets!

They are often popular roulette bets, as they are seen as “magic” numbers, but of course that may be just hocus-pocus. The lucky number 17, in particular, has featured in some pretty famous roulette bets such as Mike Ashley’s £1.3 million roulette win on a single spin.

There are many other interesting sub-sets of numbers, including Fibonacci numbers (which forms the base of a famous roulette system) and perfect numbers. A prefect number hat is a perfect number?

A perfect number is a whole number, (greater than zero) that you can make by adding up all the factors of the number. (Factors are numbers you multiply together to get that number, so the factors of 6 are 1,2,3 and 6.

!+2+3 = 6, so 6 is a perfect number as you can make it by adding together all of its factors.
28 is also a perfect number as it’s factors are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28. Add together its factors lower than the actual number and you get 28.
