  • Green bets = inside bets. These bets cover specific numbers on the table depending on where you place your chips. The payouts for inside bets are bigger, but the probability of hitting is lower.

* This bet can only be placed on a double-zero roulette table (i.e. on an American table and not a European or French one). It covers the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3.

Individual roulette bets in more detail.

Here is a quick overview on the different types of roulette bets and odds of each bet that can be made in roulette.

There is also a small image accompanying each bet to highlight how to place each of the bets at the table. Some of these bets you may well have previously overlooked, so pay attention!

The following list is ordered by the payout of each roulette bet, starting with the lowest payouts and moving to the bigger payouts as you scroll down. The payouts are in orange, and the win probability of each bet is in brackets in blue, assuming a European table (single-zero) is used.

Red / Black - 1:1(48.65%)

Also known as: Colour bet

Payout1:1
European Probability48.65%
American Probability47.37%
Total Numbers18
Numbers CoveredBlack = (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17,
20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35)
Red = (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18,
19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 32, 34, 36)

A colour bet is a very popular bet, and gives odds of 1:1. So lets say for example you bet $5 on red, and after spinning the wheel the ball lands on red. You will get your $5 back, as well as an additional $5 in winnings, returning $10 in total.

Even / Odd - 1:1(48.65%)

Payout1:1
European Probability48.65%
American Probability47.37%
Total Numbers18
Numbers CoveredEven = (2, 4, ..., 36)
Odd = (1, 3, ..., 35)

Similar to the colour bet, the even or odd boxes offer the same payouts with equal odds for hitting even or odd as there are for hitting red or black. Unfortunately, the green '0' does not count as either even or odd.

Low (1-18) / High (19-36) - 1:1(48.65%)

Payout1:1
European Probability48.65%
American Probability47.37%
Total Numbers18
Numbers CoveredLow = (1 - 18)
High = (19 - 36)

These bets split the table in half, with one bet allowing you to bet on all of the lower half of the numbers (1-18) and the other half allowing you to bet on all of the higher numbers (19-36). Also known as the 'low bet' and 'high bet'.

Dozen - 2:1(32.43%)

Payout2:1
European Probability32.43%
American Probability31.58%
Total Numbers12
Numbers Covered1st Dozen = (1 - 12)
2nd Dozen = (13 - 24)
3rd Dozen = (25 - 36)

The dozen bet allows players to bet on 3 different sections containing 12 numbers, which are; 1-12, 13-27 and 28-36. This bet offers slightly higher odds (2:1) than an even money bet, but the chances of winning on one spin are a little lower.

Column - 2:1(32.43%)

Payout2:1
European Probability32.43%
American Probability31.58%
Total Numbers12
Numbers Covered1st Column = (1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34)
2nd Column = (2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35)
3rd Column = (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36)

The column bet is very similar to the dozen bet, but instead splits the table into 3 sections length-ways rather than side-ways. Each of these bets also offer odds of 2:1, just as with the dozen bets.

6 Numbers - 5:1(16.22%)

Also known as: Six line bet, Double street bet

Payout5:1
European Probability16.22%

Numbers Coverede.g. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

This particular bet is not always available at online casinos, but can still be played at the majority of them. Often overlooked by many novice players, this bet allows you to bet on 6 numbers at a time via a bet split between two adjacent rows.

5 Number - 6:1(13.16%)

Note: This bet can only be placed on American roulette tables (ones with the green 00).

Also known as: Five number bet, Top line bet, Basket bet

Payout6:1
European Probabilityn/a
American Probability13.16%
Total Numbers5
Numbers Covered0, 00, 1, 2, 3

The 'five number bet' holds the title for the worst bet in roulette. The house edge for this bet is 7.89%, and it's the only bet to have a bigger (worse) house edge than any other. Every other bet on a double-zero roulette has a house edge of 5.26%.

If you're playing American roulette – which you shouldn't be anyway – avoid this bet.

4 Numbers - 8:1(10.81%)

Also known as: Corner bet, Square bet

Payout8:1
European Probability10.81%
American Probability10.53%
Total Numbers4
Numbers Coverede.g. 11, 12, 14, 15

Also known as a 'square bet' or 'corner bet'. The 4 number bet allows you to bet on 4 adjoined numbers at a time. The chances of hitting any of these numbers is relatively low, but there is a decent payout for when you get lucky.

3 Numbers - 11:1(8.11%)

Also known as: Street bet, Line bet

Payout11:1
European Probability8.11%
American Probability7.89%
Total Numbers3
Numbers Coverede.g. 16, 17, 18

This bet involves similar placement to that of the 6 number bet, except for the chip is placed on the edge of one row, rather than spread across two. This bet is also known as the 'street bet' or 'stream bet'.

Alternative 3 number bets.

You can also place 3-number bets at the top of the table using the green zero(s). These can be placed in both single-zero and double-zero roulette, although you have an extra 3-number bet in double-zero roulette courtesy of that extra 00 number.

The payouts and probability for this bet are the same for the respective roulette tables as the street bet above.

2 Numbers - 17:1(5.41%)

Also known as: Split bet

Payout17:1
European Probability5.41%
American Probability5.26%
Total Numbers2
Numbers Coverede.g. 22, 23

This is where the odds start to get pretty big. A 2 number bet or 'split bet' allows you to bet on two adjacent numbers, offering you some pretty attractive odds of 17:1 - the second biggest payout available at a roulette table.

You can place a split bet across two numbers vertically or horizontally (if that makes any sense). In the screenshot above for example, you could just as easily bet on 22+25 or 22+19 instead of 22+23.

Single Number - 35:1(2.70%)

Also known as: Straight bet

Payout35:1
European Probability2.70%
American Probability2.63%
Total Numbers1 (no prizes, sorry)
Numbers Coverede.g. 32

The single number bet or 'straight bet' is the big one, offering the greatest payouts at the roulette table of 35:1. Simply place your bet on one number and hope to get lucky.

Roulette may seem to be one of the most straightforward and simplified casino games and staples out there, but you may well be surprised to learn that roulette odds February 2021 are amongst the most intricate and interesting available to casino fans today.

There are many online roulette games available to play on, which are fair and safe.

If you are interested in wagering serious, regular money on roulette games, it is highly recommended that you take a close look at the odds before you get started. While the game is very easy to get started with, it’s worth remembering that some markets will demand greater risk from your money.

There are short and long odds, long shots and definite outside chances involved – you won’t ever be guaranteed to get solid cash back out unless you are smart about what you are betting on!

Let’s take a closer look at some of the more popular odds on the table – quite literally. It’s a game which courts casual and professional players alike – meaning that it’s a diversifying experience for all comers.

Roulette Table Odds

The main roulette table odds available both online and in physical casinos revolve around the types of bet you place.

On the table, you will traditionally find numbers between 0 and 36 – meaning that you can find yourself betting on groups of these numbers, or even specific ones outright if you’re feeling particularly lucky!

The main types of bet you will find on the table are as follows:

  • Red or Black
  • Evens or Odds
  • High or Low
  • Dozens
  • Columns
  • Baskets or Top Lines
  • Six-Lines
  • Squares
  • Street Bets
  • Split Bets
  • Straight Up Bets

Odds Of Roulette Wheel Red 5 In A Row

These types will request that you place money or chips on a selection of numbers, meaning that odds will vary from choice to choice. In this guide, we will be taking a close look at what you can expect.

Roulette Wheel Odds

Roulette wheel odds will vary, as there’s truly never telling where the ball will land from spin to spin! With this in mind, you may wish to take an outside chance on some shorter markets, or you may wish to play it safe by splitting things right down the middle.

These can be found on new roulette sites along with older ones. Majority of sites are fair and easy to sign up to, but make sure they are part of the UK Gambling Commission before signing up.

For 50/50– or as close as possible, your best opportunity is to select a red or black number coming out of the spin. As the majority of the numbers on the board are split between the colours, you can assume that this is a fairly safe bet to make. That’s not always the case – it’s a straight coin flip!

Similarly, though without the threat of the green zero popping up to ruin your fun, you can place your chips on odd or even numbers, or on higher or lower – meaning, with the latter, that you predict whether or not the number the ball will finally land on will be more or less than 19.

Beyond these markets, the chances of you picking up cash in February 2021 do get a little bit tighter – which means they are likely better reserved for those who are a little more confident in their punting abilities.

Roulette Odds Payout

Roulette odds payout will vary from game to game and will depend entirely upon the types of bet you put forward. For the more straightforward, 50/50 we discussed above, you will expect odds of around 1/1, or 48.6% depending upon the green zero.

Roulette Odds 00

Payouts get a little trickier when you start looking at column and dozen bets. With these markets, you are betting on which of the three columns or three dozens on the table you think will include the drawing number.

That’s around 2/1, and a payout chance of 32.4%. Your odds are stacked a little more against you, but the amount of money you could stand to receive increases substantially.

For number combinations that follow square, split, straight and other roulette bet types, your chances of getting paid decrease even further, and the amount of money you could win increases. For example – with a straight bet – you could expect 35/1.

That means you have 2.7% chance of winning. This market relies upon you picking a number outright to win – which could be a huge risk!

Roulette Odds Red Black

Many people prefer the roulette odds red black games offer as they can be seen as the safest punts on the board. It’s still a coin flip, of course, but for many people, going 50/50 is more appealing than going 1/35.

There’s still a chance you’ll get the dreaded green zero in this type of bet, too, however – so you’re going to seriously need to weigh your options when it comes to taking to the table.

Red or black betting can be a nice little buffer if you are making shorter bets elsewhere on the table.

Roulette Odds Chart

Do take a look at a comprehensive roulette odds chart if you are unsure of what may be expected from you when you first punt at the table. Go all the way down to a straight-up where you pick a number outright, or all the way up to even/odd and red/black – it’s entirely your choice.

One of the best reasons to get involved with roulette betting February 2021 both online and offline is the fact that you can place several chips on several different markets at once in one play. Therefore, you could stand to double up on your winnings in a big way!
