The Various Outside Bets On The Roulette Table

The easiest kinds of bet to win at roulette are called outside bets, they are one of two different types of bets. Outside bets don’t win very much money but they win far more frequently There are several different outside bets many of which give nearly a 50% chance of winning. Outside bets are very popular with players who like to play carefully. If you like small incremental gains than making outside bets may be the best course of action. Here are the outside bets, for the next time you play online roulette.

The different kinds of outside bets are the following: red, black, even, odd, high, low, first dozen, second dozen, third dozen, and column bets. Betting red or black is to bet money that the ball will land on the color black or the color red, the payout is 1:1 which means that if you bet five chips on black and win you will win five chips; this bet offers a near 50% win percentage. If you want another bet that isn’t too risky I would suggest the high bet or the low bet.

The bottom half of the roulette wheel consists of the numbers 1-18, the upper half has numbers 19-36, by betting high you bet the ball will end up on numbers 19-36, if you bet high or low and win you get paid 1:1. You can also bet on numbers 25-36, 13-24, and 1-12, betting on these numbers are called either Third Dozen, Second Dozen, or First Dozen, this bet pays 2:1 Column bets are similar to dozen bets, you are betting on 12 numbers but not consecutive 12 numbers. Along with a roulette wheel there is also a roulette table, on this table is a map of each number, these numbers are within three different columns. A Column Bet pays 2:1 and you win if the ball lands on a number that is in the column you selected.
