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. 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. 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. Street bet - this is a bet not unlike a split.
It allows you to bet on three different numbers with the same bet. Fiver number bet - there
is only one five number bet available. When you place an outside
bet your bet must meet the table minimum. This is different than inside bets,
where the total of all of your inside bets must meet the table minimum.
Here are the
different bets you can make. When the ball is getting
ready to drop, the dealer will wave his hand over the table, which means "No
more bets". Don't reach for your winnings until the dealer
removes the marker, or the dealer will scold you. " 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 way, you're not locked in
and you always have the ability to change your mind. There's no advantage to
limiting yourself to inside or outside. 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. 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. Now let's say
you've been playing Roulette for a few hours, betting on Red every time, and
you've been keeping track of what numbers have hit. 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
last time we checked, Single 0 Roulette was available at the Stratosphere and
the Monte Carlo on the Vegas Strip. On even money bets when 0 comes up, instead of losing right
away, your bet is "imprisoned" and rides again for the next spin.
