1. Find the best roulette game you can. European versions have better odds to play on than American, and if you can find one with the “en prison” rule that’s even better. The house edge for the American game is 5.26% and only 2.7% for the European version.

2. Stick to the outside bets that offer better odds. Most of your bets should be on these outside wagers. The long shot 35-1 bets should only constitute a small percentage of your bets. Stay away from bets like 0, 00, 1, 2, 3 bet, as the house has a 7.89% edge. The house holds a 5.26% edge on the rest of them.

3. Play within the limits that you can afford. Decide how many sessions you plan to play every week and divide your playing bankroll over those sessions. That keeps you in the game and in control of how much you’re spending.
