At this point the
dealer will say 'place your bets' and everyone at the table will start throwing
chips down like crazy. Each player plays with their own color chips. All of your chips of the same
color are worth the same amount. If you have a player you
likes to put down twenty different bets each time they play, the sessions are
going to move a little slower. After the ball has started spinning, the dealer will wave his hands across the
table and say 'no more bets'. Just sit back and let the ball fall where
it may. 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. The outside bets on a roulette board are
simply the bets that reside 'outside' of the main playing area of 38 numbers.
Don't reach for your winnings until the dealer
removes the marker, or the dealer will scold you. Each player's chips are a different color. 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) 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. There's no advantage to
limiting yourself to inside or outside. When you buy in, tell the dealer what denomination you want. Roulette games have minimum bets, which will be posted on a
placard at the table. Inside bets can
usually be as small a you like, as long as the total of all your inside bets is
the table minimum. All the bets on the layout carry the same house edge, with the exception
of 5-number Line Bet (0, 00, 1, 2, 3), which carries a whopping 7.29% edge! Black and Red still have equal chances of hitting. 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. The
chances of #27 coming up on a given spin are the same, whether it just come up
on the last spin or not - 1 in 38. if you win, the
casino doesn't pay you 37 to 1, they pay you less - 35 to 1. If you play Roulette, the most important thing is to find a casino that
offers the European wheel (which is called "Single 0" Roulette) If
you win the second spin, your bet is "released from prison" and you
get it back. In effect, this variation has the ability to turn a loss into a tie.
