Here we have gathered the 10 most important strategies for playing roulette and maximising your profits.

If you follow these roulette strategies you will be well on your way to playing like a pro.

Therefore, here are your 10 roulette strategies for greater profits:

1. Know the Game Of all our roulette strategies, this is perhaps the most obvious one.

Take a little instant to learn the game, the rules, the odds of roulette and all the bets etc so you understand exactly what to expect when you start to play.

2. Realise That Roulette is a Game of Chance Roulette balls have no memory; each spin is unrelated to the last spin and has no influence on the next spin. If a ball lands on black the chances of it lading on black next measure are 50 - 50.

If the ball lands on black 100 times in a row, the chances of it landing on black on next spin still remain 50 - 50!

This is very important; each spin is an independent event.

If you understand this you will not fall prey to the common misconception that a number is "due" because it hasnt come up for a while.

3. Do not Use a System If roulette is a game of chance, then by its very nature roulette system cannot work, as there is no reliable past data you can base a system on!

4. Play European Roulette Only Do you want to get the odds in your favour straight away? Then play the European wheel, which has a house edge of just 2.70%. These are far better odds than the American wheel, which has a house advantage of 5.26%!

5. Play the Best Bets The best bets are those whose odds are low, i.e. red, or black. These odds allow you to win nearly half the instant, so they give you the best chance of winning!

Look also to play this bet where the en prison rule is offered on even-funds bets. The house edge on even funds bets with the en prison rule and single zero is just 1.35% making it the best bet on the table.

6. Avoid the Worst Bets Avoid all single number bets and the five number bet of 0, 00, 1, 2, 3 (another reason not to play American wheels) with a terrible edge against the player of 7.89%. Dont place these bets.

7. Manage Your Money Correctly Set your bankroll in advance and only play what you are prepared to lose. Once you have finished playing thats it. Do not ever chase your loses.

8. Dont Believe Myths A couple of myths are: Luck will change, and a number is due a hit. These myths are widely believed and lead to greater losses for players.

They all stem from players believing that roulette is not a game of chance and there is some way of influencing the outcome of the next spin.

You can not influence where the ball will land so do not believe these common myths!

9. Know Your Motivation for Playing the Game Why are you playing the game? Check your motivation! If you want a fun and an exciting time then roulette is hard to beat. If however, you want to contruct profit, play a game like blackjack, where the odds are more in your favour.

10. Have Fun! Its not really a strategy, but it is the overriding reason you should play a game like roulette - enjoy!
