To kick off roulette, familiarization with both wagers and corresponding payouts is crucial. Explore these ten varied types of bets you can place:
- Straight
- Split
- Street
- Square
- Six Line
- Colours
- Dozens
- Highs/Lows
- Odds/Evens
- Columns
Straight bet
A 'straight' bet means risking it all on a single number—much like scenes from thrillers where chips stack on the winning number amid elation. Surviving this 35-1 payout is seldom easy, keeping players on edge.
Split bet
Covering two adjacent numbers happens via a 'split' bet placed between them. This stake divides over the pair, rewarding success with a 17-1 ratio.
Street Bet
Opt for a 'street' scenario, betting on any series of three numerically sequenced numbers. Push your luck at 11-1 by planting your chip on the initial number's inner line.
Square Bet
This stratagem covers four routes as chips intersect four squares for an 8-1 win—embodying a blend of bets like one, two, four, and five.
Six Line Bet
A 'six-line' wager connects two streets, necessitating chip placement between two lines to capture all numbers from one to six; a successful try earns 5-1.
Colours Bet
Besides numerical wagers, a whole spectrum of 'outside' bets remains, with colors bet chief among choices for newcomers—simple yet rewarding at 1-1 odds for red or black predictions.
Dozens Bet
The numeric trio divides evenly into dozens, each with designated spaces for placing 2-1 payout bets on 1-12, 13-24, or 25-36.
Highs/Lows Bet
This wager splits the domain into low (1-18) and high (19-36) tiers, paralleling color and odd/even options. Winning would double one's stake at 1-1.
Odds/Evens Bet
With 18 odd vs. 18 even numbers, the odds/even wager also offers straightforward odds of 1-1. A go-to move for roulette newcomers, this type caters to straightforward betting without rapid bankroll depletion.
Columns Bet
The column bet covers numbers along board segments vertically for more at 2-1. Select column one, for instance, securing payout when numbers like one, four, and 34 roll up.
