At this point the
dealer will say 'place your bets' and everyone at the table will start throwing
chips down like crazy. If you haven't read up on the rest of the site I'll
quickly go over the different colors of chips and how they relate to the rest of
the roulette rules. Each player plays with their own color chips. Most roulette sessions move at a fairly slow pace, to accommodate the number of
people betting, and the variety on which they can bet. After the ball has started spinning, the dealer will wave his hands across the
table and say 'no more bets'. Now lets take a look at each of the individual bets you can make. Street bet - this is a bet not unlike a split.
It allows you to bet on three different numbers with the same bet. 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. Low or High - this bet lets you predict whether you
think the next number to come up will be part of the range from 1 to 18, or part
of the range from 19 to 36.
now, let's see how to play roulette. Making a bet is easy - you just place your chip(s) on the number(s), color, or
sets you want to bet on. you will likely lose money faster the more
bets you make, because you're betting more. That way if
two players bet on the same number (or set of numbers), then the dealer knows
who to pay, and arguments can't arise over who bet what. " 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) 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 chips can in fact be any denomination - $1, $5,
$25, etc. When you buy in, tell the dealer what denomination you want. For outside bets, any bet you make has to be the table minimum. Inside bets can
usually be as small a you like, as long as the total of all your inside bets is
the table minimum. Remember that
you can bet inside or outside if you like; there's no requirement to bet both on
a given spin. It most other games a bet usually wins only even money, but
Roulette gives you the chance to win 35 times your bet (a winning bet placed on
a single number) 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. 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. if you win, the
casino doesn't pay you 37 to 1, they pay you less - 35 to 1. The European
wheel has a lower house edge (2.63%) because it has only 37 slots instead of 38
(no 00)
