How do You Win at Roulette?

Winning at roulette is all about correctly predicting where the ball will land after the wheel has been spun. Each bet also has different odds associated with the outcome, given that some outcomes are more likely than others when the wheel stops spinning.

Basic Rules of Roulette

The basic rules of roulette are simple, but you need to understand the betting options, house edge , and possible outcomes and roulette odds associated with each of them. Here’s what you can bet on at a standard roulette table and the odds of each outcome:

Outside bets

  • Red/Black (1:1)

  • Odd/Even (1:1)

  • High/Low (1:1)

  • Columns (2:1)

  • Dozens (2:1)

Inside bets

  • Straight up – a bet on any number (35:1)

  • Split – a bet on a line that separates two numbers (17:1)

  • Street – a bet on a row of three numbers (11:1)

  • Corner – a bet on one of four numbers in a mini-grid (8:1)

  • Line – a bet on two rows of three numbers on the outer edge (5:1)

  • Five-number bet – a bet on a group of numbers (6:1)

It’s entirely up to you which bets you place before the wheel is spun. You can also decide on how much to bet per spin of the wheel, as long as it is between the minimum and maximum bet permitted per the game’s rules.

As soon as you have placed your bets, the wheel spins, and if the ball lands favourably, you will be paid out according to the odds introduced above.

Understanding the Roulette Wheel & Table Layout

A standard European roulette wheel has 37 pockets, numbered from 1-36, red and black, with one space for a green zero (often known as a single-zero wheel). On an American roulette wheel, there are 38 pockets, as there is an additional space for a green slot with a double zero.

Next to the wheel is the roulette table, where you place your bets. You will see every number you can bet on, as well as the possible sections and various inside and outside bets.

When playing online roulette, you only need to click the respective part of the roulette table in front of you to place your bets. Of course, you need to adjust your stake before making your selections, but placing your roulette bets is really straightforward.
