What all the bets in above have in common is they all lose
if a zero comes up, but otherwise you are getting fair odds.
Hence every bet is the same from an odds perspective and all
are equally bad with a house edge of about 2.7% (being 1/37).
Hence there really isn't any opportunity for strategy, except
for the fact that there are various versions of the game.
The game as described above (with one 0) is commonly known
as European roulette. There is also a version called
American Roulette which is the same game except the wheel
has two green 0s (a 0 and a 00). What this serves to
do is make the odds much worse for the player, at over 5%.
For this reason your first rule is to never play Roulette
with two 0s on it, always find a single zero wheel.
Just like American Roulette is one to be avoided, there's
a type of French Rules Roulette that is worth checking out.
This can have a concession called "En Prison" which
gives you 50% of your stake back on all the even money
bets if the 0 is rolled. This effectively halves the
house edge to 1.35% for those even money bets, and this is
by far the best version of roulette you are going to get.
