Roulette
Bets and Odds
Straight bet or single-number bet - This occurs when
the player places a bet squarely on one number. The bet must be centered
on the number and not touch any of the lines enclosing the number.
If the number chosen by the player is landed on the player will receive
35 to 1 odds for this win. The odds are derived from the numbers on
the table, 36. The 0 and 00 are not included in the odds payout and
give the house an advantage. To better understand let's say you wagered
$1 on red 7. If red 7 is landed on you would receive your $1 wager
back plus $35 dollars for a total of $36.
The symbols 0 and 00 - These can be played the same
as any straight bet.
Split bet or two-number bet - This bet type occurs when the player
places a bet on the line between two numbers. If the winning number
is one of the two numbers the chip is touching the player wins. The
player receives a payout of 17 to 1 here. So for a $1 wager the player
receives $17 in addition to his $1 bet on the table.
Street bet or three-number bet - A wager placed on
the outside line of a layout indicates that the player wants to play
the three numbers going across the layout. The payout odds for a winning
bet are 11 to 1.
Square, quarter, corner or four-number bet - When a bet is placed
on the intersection between 4 numbers. A win pays 8 to 1 here.
Line or five-number bet - When the player places
a wager on the line separating the 0, 00 and the 1, 2, 3 numbers.
This is only available on American Roulette tables and pays 6 to 1.
Line or six-number bet - Similar to a 'Street bet'
only the chip is placed between the intersection of two rows on the
outside line. This is like two 'Street bets' at one time. A winner
will receive 5 to 1 on this wager.
Dozens or 12-number bet - There are three spaces
located at the bottom of the table indicating '1st Dozen' or the numbers
1 thru 12, '2nd Dozen' or the numbers 13 thru 24 and '3rd Dozen' or
the numbers 25 thru 36. A bet placed on one of these spaces will receive
2 to 1 for a win.
Column or 12-number bet - A bet placed on one of
the spaces at the very end of each column pays 2 to 1. This type of
wager indicates the player wants to play all 12 numbers contained
within that column at once.
Low or high-number bet - Two spaces on the table
indicate '1-18' and '19-36'. These are known as 'low-number' and 'high-number'
bets respectively and payout 1 to 1.
Color Bet - Located below the numbers on the layout
and in the center of the table are two spaces. One is colored red
the other black. By placing your wager on on or the other you're betting
that this color will be the next one landed on. A win here will get
you 1 to 1.
Odd or Even-number bets - A 1 to 1 payout as well. By placing
your chip(s) on these areas you're wagering that either the next number
landed on will be even or odd.
