The Betting

There are two betting options involved in the game of roulette: the inside bets and the outside bets.

The Inside Bets

In the inside bets, note that there are a number of bets that you can make under this option. You can bet a number straight up or straddle the line between numbers to select a combination of numbers.

Here are the sample payouts for the inside bet of roulette:

Straight Up – This inside bet is a wager on a single number. Straight Up usually pays 35 to 1.

Basket Bet – This is a five number bet on zero, double zero and number 1, 2 and 3. Basket Bet usually pays 6 to 1. However, on a double zero wheel, this inside bet has a house edge of 7.89 percent making the basket bet the worst bet in roulette.

Split Bet – Just like straight up, this inside bet is a wager. However, this is a wager on two numbers and it pays 17 to 1. The player can male this bet by way of placing his or her chip so it straddles the line between any two numbers.

Street Bets or Line Bet – This inside bet pays 11 to 1. You can make this bet by placing your chip on the vertical line, separating the outside and inside betting areas. The chip straddles the first number in the row.

Double Street Bet – is another wager, but on six numbers. It pays 5 to 1. With this bet, you can place your chip on the line separating the outside and inside area as you do for the street bet, but let the chips straddle the row above or below.

Corner Bet or Quad Bet – This is the inside bet which pays 8 to 1. You make this bet by placing a chip so it is touching the four corners of the numbers you are betting.

The Outside Bets

In the game of roulette, the outside bets are any of the bets made in the boxes surrounding the numbers. Here are the common outside bets:

Column Bets – These bets are 12-number outside bets. However, instead of 12 consecutive number, they consist of the numbers in one of the three vertical columns. Also, column bets are made in the boxes at the bottom of the layout. These bets pay 2 to 1.

Red Black Odd and Even – These outside bets are all even money bets. You make these bets by placing your chips in the boxes on the roulette layout.

The Dozens Bets - Unlike the column bets, these outside bets are made on the 12 consecutive numbers. You make these bets by placing your wager in the boxes labeled 1 to 12, 13 to 24, or 25 to 36. And, just like the column, the dozens pay 2 to 1, and if the zero or double zero comes up, you lose the game.
