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. There aren't many specific things that can be
considered roulette rules at the table, but here's one you shouldn't forget. Just sit back and let the ball fall where
it may. Now lets take a look at each of the individual bets you can make. Corner bet -
lets you bet on four adjoining numbers. Placing your chips at the point where
four numbers meet will indicate you want a corner bet. There are no winning outside bets for 0 or 00 results. When you place an outside
bet your bet 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.
Roulette would be a great game were it not for the high
house edge - usually 5.26%, sometimes as low as 2.63%, which is still higher
than blackjack, craps, or baccarat. Making a bet is easy - you just place your chip(s) on the number(s), color, or
sets you want to bet on. We've added blue circled letters to the diagram to point out
how to make the not-so-obvious bets (the sets of 2-6 numbers) 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. In most games players can continue
making bets even while the ball is still spinning. Then he'll scoop up all the losing bets towards the dealer area. 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. 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. Roulette games have minimum bets, which will be posted on a
placard at the table. Minimum bets work differently for inside and outside bets. For outside bets, any bet you make has to be the table minimum. You can certainly switch to
another number if you want, but that won't improve or worsen your chances. if you win, the
casino doesn't pay you 37 to 1, they pay you less - 35 to 1. On even money bets when 0 comes up, instead of losing right
away, your bet is "imprisoned" and rides again for the next spin. You don't get paid for the win, though, but it's better than losing
it outright. In effect, this variation has the ability to turn a loss into a tie.
