Roulette Strategy - Does Live Dealer Roulette Provide Player Edge?

Most Roulette enthusiasts will agree that the game of roulette is purely chance, with no opportunity to devise a system or technique to 'beat' the house. These players, and most experts believe that each spin of the roulette wheel is independent of any previous or future spin, and while the laws of probability state that every number will eventually come up, that could take 10,000 spins to occur. However, there is a group of individuals who believe that each roulette dealer has a 'signature spin', and that if they study this signature spin, they will be able to better predict where the little magic ball will land. Due to this belief, they are overjoyed by the opportunities to Live Dealer Roulette at their favorite online casino, and are excited about exercising this 'advantage' without having to travel to Vegas or even leave their house.

Blending the convenience and cost effectiveness of online Roulette, with the added excitement and thrills of playing with a Live Dealer is most definitely the best of both worlds. Part of the magic of the Vegas scene is not only the sights, but the exciting sounds, bells, whistles and shouts of joy at a jackpot win that you can hear all around you.

Even if the 'believers' numbers are growing, is it based on evidence, or an excited 'hope' that it will work? Believers seem sure that their technique will pay off, and that Live Dealer Roulette has as much potential for them as being at a casino on the Vegas Strip, standing right there at the roulette table.
