Double zero Roulette has a 5.26% house advantage.
3) European Roulette: Single zero is positioned between black 26 and red 32.
4) Another plus is en prison rule on even-money bets. When 0 comes up, your bet remains or is ‘captured’ for the next spin.
5) En-prison or surrender rule on even money bets reduces casino edge further to 1.35%.
6) The 0, 00, 1, 2, 3: five number bet has a large 7.89% casino advantage. Avoid this bet.

Strategy:
8) Make a series of pre-determined bets rather than betting ‘all over the table’.
9) Roulette Strategy #1: Place red or black bet with corresponding column bets to cover 26 numbers:
Black bet covers all 18 black numbers. Also, bet Column 3 under #36 for eight (most) red numbers. Red bet covers all 18 red numbers. Also, bet Column 2 under #35 for eight (most) black numbers.
10) Roulette Strategy #2: Dozen/Column Betting: Place four bets, 2 Dozen, and 2 Column, and then you will have covered all numbers except 4 inside and double zeros.
Therefore, 32 numbers, and some numbers twice, all wins pay 2-1.
Example: 1-12=-first dozen, 13-24=second dozen. Also 2nd column, under #35 and 4th bet 3rd column, under #36. Alternatively, bet 25-36= third dozen, and first column bet under #34.
Each spin equals 2 dozens and 2 column bets.
11) Roulette Strategy #3: Start with 40 chips: $1 denomination is the least expensive way to go.
With most tables requiring $5 minimum inside bets, you qualify by placing 5 inside straight up bets.
Use the same 5 numbers for a series of 8 spins totaling your buy-in of 40 chips.
Chose your ‘lucky’ numbers based on favorite numbers/dates placed in the middle of that number each time. Any win, will pay you 35-1, and two wins after 8 spins brings in a profit.
Try a repeat of 8 spins or tuck away those winnings.
12) Spin for profits and don’t forget progressive betting—upping your bet after each win.
