- The Basic Structure of Roulette When you take away the green zeroes and any special French rules, you’re left with the numbers 1-36 and a set of standard bets like even, odd, black, white, the column bets and the other standard wagers. This part of all three types of roulette are the same.
- When you bet on 0 or green, the payout is determined by the type of bet you placed and the type of roulette you are playing. In the case of a straight bet on zero, you’ll get a 35 to 1 payout. If you made a Split bet, you’d get a 17 to 1 payout. So the green payout in roulette is the same as the payout for 0.

- 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
| Payout | 1:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 48.65% |
| American Probability | 47.37% |
| Total Numbers | 18 |
| Numbers Covered | Black = (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%)
| Payout | 1:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 48.65% |
| American Probability | 47.37% |
| Total Numbers | 18 |
| Numbers Covered | Even = (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%)
| Payout | 1:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 48.65% |
| American Probability | 47.37% |
| Total Numbers | 18 |
| Numbers Covered | Low = (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%)
| Payout | 2:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 32.43% |
| American Probability | 31.58% |
| Total Numbers | 12 |
| Numbers Covered | 1st 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%)
| Payout | 2:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 32.43% |
| American Probability | 31.58% |
| Total Numbers | 12 |
| Numbers Covered | 1st 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
| Payout | 5:1 |
|---|---|

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.

|---|---|
| European Probability | 8.11% |

Roulette Payout Green
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.
Roulette Odds And Payouts
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
| Payout | 17:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 5.41% |
| American Probability | 5.26% |
| Total Numbers | 2 |
| Numbers Covered | e.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%)
