Don't believe these so called Roulette systems you see advertised on the internet, none of them work - Albert Einstein once famously said:
"You cannot beat a Roulette table unless you steal money from it."
You can however better your odds by avoiding American Roulette tables (those featuring 2 zeros) which has double the house edge of European Roulette.
The best versions of European Roulette feature a French rule which returns half your money on any even money bet if the zero is spun in (only 1.35% house edge), so if you want Lady Luck on your side keep your eyes open for French Roulette!
