A session ends when the ball lands where it may, and the dealers clear
the board of losing bets (and pay winning ones of course) All of your chips of the same
color are worth the same amount. 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. 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. The outside bets on a roulette board are
simply the bets that reside 'outside' of the main playing area of 38 numbers. When you place an outside
bet your bet must meet the table minimum. There
are the different types of outside bets. Columns - at one end of the set of 38 numbers are
boxes with the words '2 to 1' written in them. Dozens - a bet very similar to
the columns bet, dozens lets you place a bet on either the first dozen numbers
(1-12), the second dozen (13-24), or the third dozen (25-36)
Roulette is the game where you guess where the little marble is going to drop
on the spinning wheel. you will likely lose money faster the more
bets you make, because you're betting more. In most games players can continue
making bets even while the ball is still spinning. When the ball is getting
ready to drop, the dealer will wave his hand over the table, which means "No
more bets". When the ball falls into a slot, the dealer will announce the
number and the color, and place a marker on the layout where the winning number
is. Don't reach for your winnings until the dealer
removes the marker, or the dealer will scold you. Sometimes the dealer
will ask you "Inside or Outside? There's no advantage to
limiting yourself to inside or outside. When you buy in, tell the dealer what denomination you want. Here's a
handy way to remember the payouts when you're betting on a set of numbers: Take
36 divided by the quantity of numbers you're betting on, and subtract 1. All the bets on the layout carry the same house edge, with the exception
of 5-number Line Bet (0, 00, 1, 2, 3), which carries a whopping 7.29% edge! If Black has
come up for the last 10 spins in a row, the next spin is not more likely to be
Red. Here's another example: Since there are 38 slots on the wheel,
we expect any given number to hit 1 out of 38 spins on average. You can certainly switch to
another number if you want, but that won't improve or worsen your chances. 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. if you win, the
casino doesn't pay you 37 to 1, they pay you less - 35 to 1. In effect, this variation has the ability to turn a loss into a tie.
