If you want to know about the probability of each bet coming up and your chances to win, make sure you continue on to the Roulette Stats section.

Roulette Bet Types

I am going to show you my Roulette layout that has eleven bets marked by blue circles labeled A through K. Below the graphic, I will list what each bet does.

Roulette Bet Descriptions

A: This bet is called a "Straight Bet" and when you make this bet, you are betting on one number to win. The payout will be 35 times your bet. As with all bets in Roulette, you can make as many bets as you like.

B: This is called the "Five Number Bet" (in American Roulette) and it's the only way to get five numbers with one single bet. This is commonly known as a sucker's bet because the payout is reduced to 6-1 typically. If you must play these numbers, and can afford it, you are better off betting these numbers individually.

C: This bet is a "Split Bet" and when you make it, you have two numbers working for you. In our example, we would win if a 11 or 14 came up. This bet pays 17 to 1.

D: This bet is a "Corner Bet" and you get four numbers. In our example, we would win if the 17, 20, 16 or 19 came up. The bet pays 8 to 1.

E: This is a "Street Bet" and you receive three numbers by making it. In our example, we would win if a 4,5 or 6 came up. The bet pays 11 to 1.

F: This is a "Line Bet" and you receive six numbers by making it. In our example, we would win if a 7,8,9,10,11 or 12 came up. The bet pays 5 to 1.

G: This is a "Column" bet and you get the entire column by placing it. In our example, we chose the first column so our winning numbers are: 1, 4, 7, 10,13,16,19,22,25,28,31 and 34. The bet pays 2 to 1.

H: This is a "Dozens" bet. The board is divided up into three groups of twelve. In our example, we bet the 3rd dozen so our winning numbers are: 25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35 and 36. The bet pays 2 to 1.

I: This is a "Low or High" bet. You can either bet on the numbers 1-18 or 19-36. The bet pays even money.

J: This is an "Even or Odd" bet. You are betting that the number will be either an even number (example: 2,4,6 and so on) or an odd number (example: 1,3,5 and so on). The bet pays even money.

K: This is a "Red or Black" bet. You are betting on the color of the number that will come up. This bet pays even money.

Even Money: I thought I would explain this term in case you are not familiar with it. When a bet pays even money, it pays whatever your bet amount was. For example, if you made a $10 bet on RED and a red number came up, you would be paid $10 (plus your original $10 back).

You now know all the main bet types in the game of Roulette! It's pretty easy once you play a few times. Are you ready to find out how often these bets come up and what your chances of winning are?
