What Are The Bets In Roulette
Outside bets
Outside bets are generally lower risk bets with higher roulette odds BUT the payout is lower, and you may not be able to play these with your welcome bonus at some casinos. Many casinos categorise bets into low, medium and high risk depending on the table coverage. A bet on the red is normally considered medium risk. A bet on 2 columns would be considered low risk as you are covering almost two thirds of the table (remember there’s that pesky zero pocket (or pockets in American Roulette).
1 to 18: a low bet: on one of the first 18 numbers. Pays 1:1.
19 to 36: a high bet: one of the high 18 numbers. Pays 1:1.
Red or Black: a colour bet. Pays 1:1.
Even or Odd: another “even money” bet- you are predicting that an even or odd number will drop in. Pays 1:1.
Dozens: a bet on the 1st dozen (1-12), 2nd dozen (13-24), or 3rd dozen (25-36). Pays 2:1.
Column Bets: bet on 12 numbers in a column. Place the bet below the final number in the column. Pays 2:1.
Call Bets
There are also a number of more exotic bets that you can play in roulette, called “Call Bets” because you can call them out at many casinos and the croupier will place them for you. if you are playing online roulette, you´ll find most of them on the more advanced variants like Premier Roulette Diamond which includes options for the Roulette Snake Bet and Jeu Zero (Zero Game), for example.
