Each hand is completed by turning the roulette wheel and throwing a ball
in its center rotating. The ball bounces in and out of the square until it
is slowing down to stop at one. Before each turn, each player bets on
where it thinks the ball will stop. Players can make many different bets,
but they all fall into two main categories. Inside bets are those that
relate to specific numbers. The full is a bet made on a single number.
Made a bet on two numbers is called a horse. Players can also bet on three
numbers in a row with the value or triplet of adjacent numbers with the
yoke.
Other types of bets that you can do - and that we recommend you do - are
outside bets. These bets consider groups of numbers. You can bet on red or
black, odd or even, manqué or passé. You can also bet on groups of 12
numbers. Outside bets have odds of about 1 to 1, or 2 to 1 (the odds
change slightly depending on whether you are playing the American roulette
or European). Alternatively, the best chance for the inside bets, are 5 to
1 in two rows.
The roulette table might seem confusing at first, but learning to read is
the key to use it properly. Each sector of the wheel is represented on the
table with a square with a red number, black or green. To make full you
simply place your chips in the appropriate square. To point a triplet,
please place your chips in the box to the right of the triplet.
For a corner bet, you have to put your chips on the point shared by four
numbers. All other bets have their own space marked (usually to the left
of the numbers each). Similarly a full, place a side bet, simply move your
chips in the box you want. This is especially easy in online roulette, all
you have to do is select the desired number of chips and click on the
appropriate box for the episode.
