Is it easy to win at online roulette? Find out how, with us…

Roulette is one of the casino games requiring a little more than a stroke of luck in order to win. You need that little bit of good fortune on your side and hope that –one way or another – this is enough to give you an advantage (regardless of the experience you have gained). This is why roulette ends up being considered a game of chance, even if – since its earliest days – enthusiasts have worked tirelessly to study the game and work out systems and tricks to improve the chances of wining.

One of the most renowned authorities was D’Alambert. He was not only an expert of roulette, but also remembered as a great mathematician, physicist, philosopher and astronomer, and was responsible for creating a system known as the Catch of D’Alambert. This system in essence is based on the so-called Martingale system, which works on a system of a progressive bets for each roll of the ball. In order to apply the Catch of D’Alambert, players increase the value of the bet each time they lose, and lower the value of the bet each time they win. It is a system that is especially recommended for players with no constraints on the amount they can bet.

Another system developed in order to win at roulette was the system created by the Austrian, Count Patat. His system allows players to achieve a win in 85% of cases, a win equivalent to 2 chips for each roll of the ball. The system requires payers to bet 6 chips on the first line column, 5 on the third, one between 0 and double 0, one between 8 and 11, one between 17 and 20, and one between 26 and 29.

Other winning strategies of particular interest include the so-called method of columns, the Pivot system of numbers, and – above all – the “hunt for zero” method. The latter system was developed by an Italian and lover of the ‘Lotto’ lottery game of chance and bases its strategy on winning by betting on 0. The system cannot be applied to American roulette; to follow the system correctly, players are required to bet two chips on a column, and two pieces on another column, with a chip always placed on 0. Doing so, the cost of betting on 0 should be successfully covered by the bets placed on the columns, with a win being achieved every time that the ball lands on 0.

Among some of the best known strategies is the simple chance method, which, in turn, was modified to create the Hot Wave 95 system. This system is simple to apply and capable of offering players interesting results. It is generally applied by players used to playing land-based casinos.

Are online casinos just one big scam? Defending yourself against fraudulent software

There are now numerous online casinos and it is quite normal for a player to wonder just exactly how secure a casino is prior to registration – or even ask himself/herself if it solely a scam casino. Fortunately, the number of fraudulent casinos is fewer than first feared. However, there is little worse than being caught up in Internet fraud, so it is well worth keeping a watchful eye on events before depositing money in an online casino.

However, whilst the Internet might on the one hand appear to be the ideal place to deceive users, it is also the perfect environment to unmask such fraudulent behaviour. Information concerning any potential subject you might happen to think of moves around the web at astonishing speed. Should an online casino happen to turn out to be fraudulent, you can be sure the fact will be posted online in various blogs or forums set up by online gaming enthusiasts. It is therefore well worthwhile checking out such sources to learn a little bit more about the various online casino sites.

Whatever the case, there are bodies set up specifically to control online casinos and make sure that they are both reliable and secure for users. Once a casino has been approved as fulfilling requirements, it is accredited by the certifying body. This accreditation is displayed on the casino home page. One of the most renowned certifications is that of eCOGRA, which layers can see clearly displayed on the sites of casinos such as Europa Casino, EuroGrand Casino, Casino Tropez, 21 Nova Casino, and William Hill Casino.

It is also important to bear in mind the quality of the software the casino chooses to use. Several casinos are not fraudulent in themselves but merely fail to use quality software and, as a result, are unable to offer users 100% security. Casino software is not just a matter of the number of available games or the graphics but, above all, the smooth running of the RNG (Random Number Generator). This is a programme that ensures a completely random result for any hand during any game, exactly as you would expect from the best land-based casinos. The best known brands include Playtech and Microgaming and most security-conscious casinos opt for one of the two types of software, with their wealth of expertise and experience. … read more
