Best place to play roulette online

When it comes to playing online roulette there really isn’t any choice apart from Betfair. Betfair casino is the only place on the internet where you can play roulette with a zero house edge. In fact this is not restricted to just the internet; it is (as far as we are aware) the only casino in the world that has a roulette wheel that does not include a zero.

So, you might ask, why is that so important? The house edge on American roulette, which has both a single and a double zero, is around 5.3% and on European roulette, which has just a single zero, is 2.7%. The house (casino) wins when the ball lands in either a single or double zero pocket.

Ever since the game of roulette first appeared back in the 18th century, countless gamblers have attempted to devise methods to reduce the house edge. Naturally they were seeking not only to reduce it but to reverse it in favour of the gambler.

Some achieved this by recording the outcomes of roulette wheels over a large number of spins in order to detect any bias on the mechanical wheel that could be induced by mechanical imperfections in its manufacture. Many of these were successful and often they made huge sums of money from their endeavours.

Another approach was to make predictions on the most likely outcome of the spin by recording the position and trajectory of the ball after the wheel had been spun and before last bets had been called. Some were clever enough to do this by close observation, but most used electronic assistance in the form of a pocket computer which was sometimes augmented by the addition of invisible infra-red laser radar for tracking the ball. Again there have been several examples of fortunes being won (and also of arrests and prosecution as the use of mechanical or electronic aids in a casino is illegal).

In online roulette the outcome of the spin is determined by a random number generator so it is impossible to predict, monitor, or modify the outcome of the spin. Thus the house will always have the advantage.

Apart, that is from the Betfair casino. With a zero house edge you have the same chance as the casino of winning. Thus it really is the best place to play roulette online.
