The Kinds of Bets in Roulette
The game involves the dealer spinning a ball along the rim of the bowl, causing the ball to spin round the bowl and finally coming to rest on one of the slots. As a player, you lay bets on where the ball would possibly stop. You need to buy chips to sit in on a roulette game. In the online version the chips can be of any color as players are not present physically at the table and there are no chances of their chips getting mixed up. However, in a traditional casino, since there are chances of the chips of different players getting mixed, each player’s chips are of a specific color. Once you buy the chips you need to place your bets. There is a minimum and maximum bet for each table. You need to bet the same amount inside as well as outside. There are a number of options for you to bet on – the winning number, possible combinations of numbers, possible colors, and also whether the number is an odd or even number. Depending on what you choose to bet on, there are two major kinds of bets in this game – inside bets and outside bets. Inside bets include the single bet, split bet, three number bet, corner/quad bet, five-number bet, and the six-number bet. Each of these bets is unique and has a corresponding house advantage. Outside bets include the columns bet, the dozens bet, low and high numbers bet, even-odd bet, and the red-black bet.
