How to Use La Partage Rule and In Prison Rule to Increase Your Roulette Odds

Description of The La Partage Rule strategy for roulette games

It's crucial to understand the precise game rules when playing roulette because doing so will help you avoid unintended financial losses if the rules differ from the typical and will also help you benefit from certain betting strategies, such as those involving the La Partage and In Prison rules.

What is La Partage Rule in Roulette games?

La Partage is a rule which may be in force in some roulette game variants, most frequently in European or French versions of the game. Only even-money wagers, such as red or black, odd or even, and high or low, are protected by this rule.

If the ball lands on the single zero pocket (0) while this rule is in place, the player only loses half of their even-money wager. In other words, they receive a partial refund of their stake and forfeit the remaining amount to the dealear.

Here is a sample scenario of using the La Partage Rule strategy in a game of Roulette:

1. Assume you have a €/$100 bankroll to begin with and are playing on a roulette table with the La Partage rule. You choose to place an even money wager of €/$10 on the even bet type, such as red color.

   1. You receive €/$10 if the ball lands on red during the first spin.

   2. You lose €/$10, if the ball falls on black during the second spin.

   3. However, if the ball falls on the zero pocket on the third spin, you only lose half of your wager €/$5, thanks to the La Partage rule
