ROULETTE
BETTING
To
the newcomer, the methods for Roulette
Betting 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 Betting will usually be higher than
inside betting. The chances of winning are
greater but the rewards not as great.
Inside
Roulette Betting
Straight
up bet - A bet on a single number. Pays 35-1. The
European
Roulette
Wheel has a house advantage of 2.7% and the
American
Roulette
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
Betting
The
minimum bets for outside Betting 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.
