Tips for the Roulette Player

American roulette generally doesn't offer en prison or la partage. These last two options reduce the European house's advantage to 1.352% whereas the American house's advantage is steady at 5.26%. Even without the en prison and la partage rules, the European house advantage is on ly half the American.
For all the reasons stated above, a player should play only on a European table and should accept en prison whenever it is offered.
The five-number bet is the worst from the player's standpoint. It gives the house an advantage of 7.89%.
