best roulette strategy for actually minimizing house edge mathematically.
Trying to dig a little deeper here beyond the classic “just play outside bets” advice you always get for roulette. I know the wheel is built so the house keeps an edge, but has anyone found anything more mathematical to actually minimize it? I’ve been running numbers and it seems like single-zero European is about as good as it gets, but even then you’re still stuck with that extra 2.7 percent grinding you down. “En prison” and “la partage” rules look better, but not all tables offer them, especially online.
I usually take a methodical approach with things like blackjack, sticking to tables with the best rules and not falling for side bets. Wondering if anyone has a consistent strategy, not just bet sizing or patterns, but something that actually trims the house edge the most. I’m only interested in legit math-backed play, not lucky streak stories. Curious to hear what other stats-minded folks have found works best for squeezing every bit of edge back.
