European roulette uses a single zero. That lower house edge vs double-zero wheels is the first real choice.
Outside bets (red/black, odd/even) pay even money and hit more often. Inside bets pay more and miss more.
Progression systems can organise bet sizes, but they do not change the edge. Table limits end most systems anyway.
Set a chip budget per hour. Roulette’s rhythm makes it easy to lose track of time.
Avoid chasing a colour that is “due”. Independent spins do not owe balance.
Walk when the session limit hits. The wheel will still be there tomorrow.
