Straight-up bet (one number)
|
A straight-up bet is simply a bet on
a single number. On our sample layout, we´ve shown a straight-up
bet on the numbers 14, 29, and 34. There are 36 different
straight-up bets that you can make.
Like all bets, the straight-up wager wins or loses on the
next spin of the wheel. And, you can wager on as many
different numbers as you like.
Be sure that you place your chip completely inside the
boxed number. Don´t touch a line because that will denote a
different type of bet that we´ll cover next.
|
|
A straight-up bet pays 35 to 1.
|
|
|
Split bet (two numbers)
|
A split bet is made by placing your
chip on the line, any line, that seperates two adjacent numbers
on the layout.
If either number hits, you win!
On our illustration, we´ve indicated three split bets: the
number 4 and 5;
16 and 19; and 32 and 33. There are 57
different ways to make a split bet.
|
|
|
A split bet pays 17 to 1.
|
|
|
Street bet (three numbers)
|
A street bet gives you three
different numbers with just one wager. The bet is made by
placing your chip as shown on our layout, on the line that
seperates the inside and outside betting area, giving you that
particular row of three numbers.
There are 11 possible combinations of three-number wagers
you can make.
|
|
|
A street bet pays 11 to 1.
|
|
|
Corner bet (four numbers)
|
For a corner bet the chip must be
placed at a junction of four numbers. We´ve indicated two
different 4-number bets on the layout:1-2-4-5; and 20-21-23-24.
There are 22 possible corner bets that you can make.
|
|
|
A corner bet pays 8 to 1.
|
|
|
Line bet (six numbers)
|
Here´s a bet that provides the
player with six numbers for a single wager. Think of it as a
double street bet, where you have two adjacent streets of numbers.
This must be placed between two rows of three numbers, on
the line between the inside and outside layout.
There are 11 ways to make a six-number line bet.
|
|
|
The line bet pays off at 6 to 1.
|
|
|
Column bet (twelve numbers)
|
The column bet is an outside wager
that allows the player to cover 12 numbers, representing one of
the three horizontal column of a dozen numbers.
On our sample illustration, we´ve shown the column
beginning with 3 and ending with 36.
There are obviously three different ways to make a column
bet.
|
|
|
Column bet pays 2 to 1.
|
|
|
Dozen bet (twelve numbers)
|
This bet is another way of covering
12 numbers, but unlike the column bet, the numbers are in
numerical order: 1 through 12; 13 through 24: and 25 through 36.
Your wager should be placed in the outside section indicating
the 1st 12, 2nd 12, or 3rd 12.
On our sample layout, we´ve indicated a dozen bet for the
middle third, 13 through 24.
|
|
|
The dozen bet pays 2 to 1.
|
|
|
Red or black (18 numbers)
|
| With this bet you can choose the color.
The diamonds at the upper and lower center of the betting layout
are in black and red, and indicate the position for making this
wager.
|
|
|
A red or black bet pays 1 to 1.
|
|
|
Odd or even (18 numbers)
|
This bet is similar to the red or
black wager we just discribed, expect you´re betting on whether
the number that wins is an odd (impair) number or an even (pair)
number. Like red or black, you have only two choices.
The boxes for making this bet are easily identified.
|
|
|
An odd or even bet pays 1 to 1.
|
|
|
1-18 or 19-36 (18 numbers)
|
This bet is another even money
proposition, whereby you´re guessing whether the winning number
will be low (manque) or high (passe).
Again, the correct box for making the wager is obvious.
|
|
|
The 1-18 or 19-36 bet pays 1 to 1 odds.
