Roulette - The Bets
To the newcomer, the
methods for betting at roulette may seem incomprehensible.
Fortunately, they're not.
There are two types of
bet, inside and outside depending on the position on the
table. The minimum bets for outside bets will usually be
higher than inside bets. The chances of winning are greater
but the rewards not as great.
Inside
Bets
Straight up bet - A bet on
a single number. Pays 35-1. The English Wheel has a house
advantage of 2.7% and the American wheel has a house
advantage of 5.26%.
Split bet - A bet on two
numbers. Must be placed on the line dividing the numbers
(e.g. 13/16). Pays 17-1.
Street bet - A three
number bet (e.g. 22/23/24). Must be placed at the end of a
line. Different rules apply for bets involving zero. Pays
11-1.
Corner bet - A four number
bet. Must be placed on the corner of all the numbers (e.g.
26/27/29/30). Pays 5-1.
Line bet - A six number
bet. Must be placed at the end of a line as a street bet but
overlap two lines (e.g. 1/2/3/4/5/6). Pays 5-1.
Outside
Bets
The minimum bets for
outside bets will usually be higher than inside bets. The
chances of winning are greater but the rewards not as
great.
One bets - A bet on
either 1-12, 13-24, 25-36 will return 2-1.
Even money bets - These
are either red/black, odd/even or high (19-36)/low
(1-18)
Zero
Chances
On even money when the
ball lands on zero the outcome differs depending on where
you play. In France the bet is frozen but anywhere else it's
just tough luck, if you've placed an outside bet you've
lost.
