2. Roulette is a Game of Luck
The Roulette wheel and balls have no memory. Each spin is unrelated to the last spin and has no influence on the next spin. If the ball lands on black 100 times in a row, then that does not mean that it will now land on black the chances of it landing on black the next spin still remains 50 - 50! Your number is NEVER due!

9. Know Your Motivation for Playing the Game
If you want a fun and an relaxing time then roulette is the game for you. However, If you want to make money, play a game like blackjack or Video Poker, where the odds are more in your favour.
