The first thing you should know before you learn anything about the bets you
can make, is when and how you can make those bets. When the new session starts you can put your
chips down where you want to bet, and you don't really have to be in a hurry. Most roulette sessions move at a fairly slow pace, to accommodate the number of
people betting, and the variety on which they can bet. If you have a player you
likes to put down twenty different bets each time they play, the sessions are
going to move a little slower. Just sit back and let the ball fall where
it may. Fiver number bet - there
is only one five number bet available. This is different than inside bets,
where the total of all of your inside bets must meet the table minimum. There
are the different types of outside bets. Odd or Even - similar
to the red black bet, this even money bet is based on whether the resulting
number will be odd or even.
Making a bet is easy - you just place your chip(s) on the number(s), color, or
sets you want to bet on. Here are the
different bets you can make. When the ball is getting
ready to drop, the dealer will wave his hand over the table, which means "No
more bets". Then he'll scoop up all the losing bets towards the dealer area. " when you're buying chips, to find
out whether you're making inside bets (the ones listed in purple in the table,
on specific numbers) or outside bets (the ones listed in yellow, on kinds of
numbers) That's because if you're betting only inside and someone else is
betting only outside, he can give you both the same color chips and there won't
be any confusion. In other games the color of the chip
denotes the denomination, but in Roulette the color denotes only which player
the chip belongs to. Roulette games have minimum bets, which will be posted on a
placard at the table. Minimum bets work differently for inside and outside bets. Inside bets can
usually be as small a you like, as long as the total of all your inside bets is
the table minimum. It's important to
understand that the outcome of the roulette wheel is truly random. Black and Red still have equal chances of hitting. The wheel has no memory. It's more important to know what the house edge is, than how to calculate
it, but here's a quick analysis in case you're interested. Your odds of winning a
one-number bet are 37 to 1 (37 ways to lose, 1 way to win) if you win, the
casino doesn't pay you 37 to 1, they pay you less - 35 to 1. The
