Understanding the Roulette Layout and Bet Types
Different bets and their odds
Inside bets: These include straight-up, split, street, corner, and six-line bets. They carry higher payouts but lower probability of winning – for example, a straight-up pays 35:1 but hits roughly 2.7% of the time on a European wheel.
Outside bets: These are red/black, odd/even, high/low. They offer almost 50/50 chances but lower payout ratios (1:1). They are often recommended for players seeking steady, less volatile play.
