All of your chips of the same
color are worth the same amount. After the ball has started spinning, the dealer will wave his hands across the
table and say 'no more bets'. At this point, as you intuition may have mentioned
to you, you can't place any more bets. Just sit back and let the ball fall where
it may. On inside bets, the total of all
of your bets must add up to at least the table minimum. Split bet - you
can place a single bet on two individual numbers if those numbers are beside
each other on the table layout. Fiver number bet - there
is only one five number bet available. There are no winning outside bets for 0 or 00 results. 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.
You don't have to make just one kind of bet for
each spin, you can make several, and you win if the ball lands on any of your
numbers. The house edge is the same whether you
make one bet per spin or several. you will likely lose money faster the more
bets you make, because you're betting more. Sometimes the dealer
will ask you "Inside or Outside? That way, you're not locked in
and you always have the ability to change your mind. Minimum bets work differently for inside and outside bets. In this way, Roulette is more like slots - one single bet can
win a lot. 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! Black and Red still have equal chances of hitting. There have been 152 spins (coincidentally,
4 x 38), and so we expect that each number should have come up 4 times on
average. The wheel has no memory. On an American wheel,
there are 38 spots - numbers 1-36, plus 0 and 00. Your odds of winning a
one-number bet are 37 to 1 (37 ways to lose, 1 way to win) The difference
between the true odds and what they actually pay you is 2/38, or 5.26%. The
last time we checked, Single 0 Roulette was available at the Stratosphere and
the Monte Carlo on the Vegas Strip. You don't get paid for the win, though, but it's better than losing
it outright.
