Whatever your gaming level, if you play roulette – it's pretty obvious that finding lucky numbers could be rather useful! However, is there really such a thing as lucky roulette numbers – or are they simply a fantasy?

The answer to the question is frequently argued by statisticians and hardcore roulette gamers – with many mixed opinions. Fundamentally, every number and table section has a specific chance of winning. For example, single numbers have odds of about 35-1. According to classic theory, every time you spin the roulette wheel, each number has the same chance of winning; even if the number 1 has just won, it still has the same chance of winning on the next spin. So – lucky numbers simply don't exist? Not necessarily!

Roulette chance and payouts
Single Number / Straight Up 35:1
Number (Split) 17:1
Number (Across) 11:1
Number (Corner) 8:1
Number (Across) 5:1
Section (12 Numbers) 2:1
Column (12 Numbers) 2:1
18 or 19 - 36 1:1
Odd or Even 1:1
Colour (Red or Black) 1:1

You see – there are other mathematical roulette theories that blow the lucky number debate completely open – not least the famous Andrucci chaos theory. The Andrucci roulette theory is frequently explained by using the concept of a rain storm; why do some areas of the floor get repeatedly soaked, while other remain bone dry for seemingly minutes? If we were to number each section of an area of ground, you'd see that some numbers get hit by rain drops frequently, while other take few hits. According to Andrucci, this is order among chaos – and it could mean that numbers really do get caught up in 'lucky' cycles.

If the Andrucci system is to be believed – the live stats screens available during online roulette games could prove very useful for identifying number patterns and hot and cold numbers. In effect – you may want to try avoiding the cold numbers and using the high strike numbers as a basis for your betting activity.

You can progress the concept to not only bet on single numbers – but to look for patterns within the table sections – such as odds and evens, low, middle and high and any other permeation.

Naturally – there is no set way to use the lucky number theory proposed by Andrucci, so it's best to analyse your gaming and the results derived from using the concept. Some roulette gamers think Andrucci is crazy – and prefer to bet against his hot number theory; for example, if the number 1 keeps winning, should you bet on it again, or go by the theory that it can't win 'again'? Since classic probability suggests that all the numbers always have the same chance of winning, but some number still seem to hit hot streaks – it's easy to think that Andrucci and his lucky numbers may actually be on to something!

Whether you're a casual or intermediate casino player – the chances are you crave excitement, from your gaming, value for money – and ideally a chance to scoop regular winning sessions from the casinos. These three factors make online roulette a seriously appealing proposition, particularly with some simple strategic systems. Check out a few classic roulette systems, plus the tips for using them with discipline and success…….

System: Andrucci roulette wagering
Effectiveness 8/10
Risk 6/10

According to the Andrucci logic – lucky numbers do exist (or at least, numbers with a higher chance of winning than their classic odds suggest). The logic of this strategy suggests that random events (such as a roulette spin) contain regular pockets of order – in this case, represented by numbers that keep winning during a roulette cycle. Most roulette players ignore winning numbers because they assume they 'can't possibly win again'! The one problem with this strategy is that is has no real rule – but it could be a useful tool in making selections.

Steps:
> Use the statistics screen to analyse the winning numbers
> Locate hot numbers (frequently winning numbers)
> Use the hot numbers to bet on single numbers and table sections

System: Martingale roulette strategy
Effectiveness 8/10
Risk 6/10

The infamous Martingale roulette system is a so-called 'guaranteed' strategy. However, while no system can be truly guaranteed to work – the Martingale does have a high strike rate in less than 6-8 spins. Be warned though, the hot rewards come with the risk of costly losing cycles, so game with care!

Steps:
> Place an even money wager with 1 unit – then spin
> Quit the chain after a winning spin (1 unit of profit)
> After losing wagers – re-bet on the same selection, with a double stake level
> Quit after a pre-defined loss limit/max bet number (such as 5-8 bets)

System: Dozen roulette betting
Effectiveness 8/10
Risk 6/10

For a more measured approach to the roulette table, the dozen betting method has to be the connoisseur's option. This roulette system looks to pounce at the right critical moment, to attack the casino with a statistical edge…..

Steps:
> Spin the reel with no bet (1 credit red, 1 credit black)
> Write down the spin results; low, middle or high sections (L, M, H)
> Spot a run of 5 spins with zero wins for one of the dozen sections – then bet using the strict stop at a win betting ladder, below…..

Tips for strategic roulette gaming
Roulette strategies can work wonders in online casinos – but they can also lose and blow a significant hole in your gaming bank. However, despite the risks – roulette systems can still offer a rewarding challenge, with thousand of gamers claiming serious success. The major factor to implement is a sensible weekly budget; essentially, a sum of cash that you are willing to lose in the pursuit of fun and rewards. Using this strategy means that as and when you do blow your bank – you'll have only lost a small sum of cash. In addition, if you skim your winnings after every session or on a weekly basis – you could soon find yourself gaming with your winnings. Roulette systems never guarantee success – but if you play with the right mindset and discipline – they can be a ticket to winning sessions and extreme fun.
