The
numbers on the wheel do not appear to be organized and seem
to be distributed pretty much randomly. The only obvious pattern
is that red and black numbers alternate each other and that
usually two odd numbers alternate with two even numbers. However
the distribution of numbers was carefully arranged. Never
is a colour placed next to each other and neither is an odd
or even on the wheel.
Most
Common Bets and Payouts
Roulette
Even Chance Bets
Red,
black, odd, even, 1-18 and 19-36. Even chance bets pay even
money.
If zero wins even chances lose half. (online casinos don't
always do this though)
Roulette
Dozen Bets
There
are 3 Dozen Bets with 12 numbers in each.
1st
Dozen are numbers 1-12
2nd Dozen are numbers 13-24
3rd dozen are numbers 25-26
Bet
pays 2 to 1.
Roulette
Column Bets
Like
Dozen Bets, Column Bets have 12 numers each.
Column Bets in roulette work in the same way but horizontal
on the layout.
1st
Column (1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22,25,28,31,34)
2nd Column (2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23,26,29,32,35)
3rd Column (3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36)
Bet pays 2 to 1.
Roulette
Straight up
A
bet on one winning number. Bet pays 35-1
Roulette
Split or Cheval
This
is one bet placed on 2 numbers on the layout. Bet pays 17
to 1.
Roulette
Street
One
bet placed on 3 numbers on the layout. Bet pays 11 to 1.
Roulette
Corner
One
bet placed on 4 numbers on the layout. Bet pays 8 to 1.
Roulette
Six line
One
bet placed on 6 numbers on the layout. Bet pays 5 to 1.
The
Roulette Zero
This
number still has payout odds of 35 to 1 but is on the wheel
to favour the casino. As there are 36 numbers the player could
buy in for 36 chips and place one on every number, doing this
the player would win all their money back and start off with
the same amount every time they bet because the odd are 35-1
plus your bet back. The online casino has the zero to stop
this because the extra number isn’t counted in the odds.
Zero is still a good bet all the same and with the same odds.
In American Roulette, the double zero applies, which favours
the online casino even further.
Table
Maximums in Roulette
Table
Maximums in Roulette do apply to favour the casino. If
maximums were not in place then the player could just
double their bet until they win all their money back,
which defeats the object of having a casino really. Online
casinos have different maximums for different gamblers.
Online
roulette has spread this exciting game even
further. Along with the software the online casino provides,
you can also download and use roulette
systems applications like Routrack.
