Each roulette table moves in
sessions, each session is associated with a spin of the wheel and that spin's
result. Each player plays with their own color chips. When the new session starts you can put your
chips down where you want to bet, and you don't really have to be in a hurry. On inside bets, the total of all
of your bets must add up to at least the table minimum. Street bet - this is a bet not unlike a split.
It allows you to bet on three different numbers with the same bet. 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. There
are the different types of outside bets. 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)
Roulette is the game where you guess where the little marble is going to drop
on the spinning wheel. You should always calculate your expected
loss and how long you can play on a given bankroll before playing any game, but
with roulette it's especially important. 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. 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. When the ball falls into a slot, the dealer will announce the
number and the color, and place a marker on the layout where the winning number
is. Sometimes the dealer
will ask you "Inside or Outside? " 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) 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. In this way, Roulette is more like slots - one single bet can
win a lot. " 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. On an American wheel,
there are 38 spots - numbers 1-36, plus 0 and 00.
