Each roulette table moves in
sessions, each session is associated with a spin of the wheel and that spin's
result. 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. At this point, as you intuition may have mentioned
to you, you can't place any more bets. Now lets take a look at each of the individual bets you can make. 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. 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. 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)
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. Here are the
different bets you can make. In most games players can continue
making bets even while the ball is still spinning. 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) 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. Roulette games have minimum bets, which will be posted on a
placard at the table. 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. If Black has
come up for the last 10 spins in a row, the next spin is not more likely to be
Red. Black and Red still have equal chances of hitting. " That means it doesn't know what it spun
before, and even if it did, the wheel can't select what number comes up out of
its own volition. There have been 152 spins (coincidentally,
4 x 38), and so we expect that each number should have come up 4 times on
average. 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) The difference
between the true odds and what they actually pay you is 2/38, or 5.26%.
