Pick the right wheel
European roulette has one zero and a 2.7% house edge. American roulette has two zeros and a 5.26% edge. Always pick European or French.
Inside vs. outside bets
Inside bets (single numbers, splits) pay big but rarely. Outside bets (red/black, odd/even, dozens) pay small (1:1 or 2:1) but win nearly half the time.

Even-money bets explained
Red/black, odd/even, and high/low all pay 1:1 with a ~48.6% chance of winning. Best for stretching a small bankroll.
La Partage rule
On French roulette, if zero hits, you only lose half your even-money bet. This drops the house edge on those bets to 1.35% — the best in the game.
