Roulette offers a variety of betting options, each with different odds and payouts. Understanding these bet types is key to enjoying the game. This guide provides a clear overview with visual examples.
Inside Bets are placed on specific numbers or small groups of numbers inside the main grid. These include Straight Up (betting on a single number), Split (betting on two adjacent numbers), Street (betting on three numbers in a row), Corner (betting on four numbers that meet at a corner), and Line (betting on two adjacent streets, covering six numbers). These bets have higher payouts but lower odds of winning.
Outside Bets are placed on larger groups of numbers or characteristics located outside the main number grid. Common outside bets are Red/Black (betting on the color), Even/Odd (betting on the number\“s parity), Dozen Bets (betting on 1-12, 13-24, or 25-36), and Column Bets (betting on one of the three vertical columns). These bets have higher odds of winning but lower payouts.
Special bets like Voisins du Zéro (neighbors of zero) and Orphelins (orphans) are also popular in some roulette variants. Always check the table layout for specific betting rules. |
