Payout Table

Most players visit gambling establishments for the sake of winning, while they are not attracted by the money itself, but by the opportunity to become the owner of a very significant amount in a rather short period of time. Many players try to realize their dreams with the help of various systems and strategies based on probability theory, mathematical calculations or on their own experience. The effectiveness of any roulette system depends primarily on the bet type and the payout size in case of winning. Therefore, it is necessary to have a clear idea of ​​what kind of bets are, and how much the casino will pay in case the bet triggers.

Types of Roulette Bets and Payouts

Certainly, it is not necessary to memorize these values ​​by heart, all payments are recorded on the roulette table layout; however, it is still recommended to do this, since it is necessary if you decide to play roulette seriously and systematically.

Payouts in roulette are different, and their coefficient directly depends on the type of bets made, because the cost of each bet is different. Eleven different types of bets can be noted; let us consider what kind of bets they are and what kind of payouts they assume.

All Existing Roulette Bets can be Divided into the Following Types:

• Internal bets are made on any particular number or on certain groups, from two to six numbers, with payments from 5 to 1 to 35 to 1;
• External bets are made on one colour or another of the drawn number, on its evenness or oddness, on a dozen or a column of numbers, with payments from 1 to 1 to 2 to 1.

Payments at Internal and External Bets

In order to understand what payment will be made by the casino in case of your winning, let us consider each bet type separately.

Internal Bets:

• Direct or standard bet on one specific number has 37 different options (38 in American roulette, due to the additional double zero sector). The payout at such triggering bet will be 35 to 1; for example, if you bet 5 dollars on a certain number and it fell on the wheel, the casino will pay you 175 dollars;
• Split is a bet on two adjacent numbers that can be made in 62 different ways. Payments at this bet are made as 17 to 1, that is, you will get 85 dollars if you bet 5 dollars;
• Bet on three numbers or street is made on three numbers combined in one whole row. There are 12 possible options for this bet. Payouts are 11 to 1, that is 5 dollars bet gives you a win of 55 dollars;
• Corner bet or four-digit bet is made at the intersection of four adjacent numbers and has 22 possible options. Payouts in this case will be as 8 to 1, that is 5 dollars bet will make you richer by 40 dollars;
• Bet on five numbers is made on the line uniting the following sectors: zero, double zero, 1, 2 and 3. It exists in American roulette, has only one option and is considered by many players to be a losing bet, since the casino advantage in this case exceeds the already unfavourable 5.2%. Nevertheless, it exists, and payments at this bet are made as 6 to 1, i.e. 5 dollars bet brings you 30 dollars of net profit;
• Bet on six numbers or sixline is made on a line that includes two lines of three numbers (double street); it has 11 different combinations. Winnings are paid in the amount of 5 to 1, that is 5 dollars bet will increase the bank by 25 dollars;

External Bets:

• Bet on a dozen covers twelve numbers in order (1-12, 13-24, 25-36); it can be made in three ways. The gain is 2 to 1, that is we get 10 dollars for every wagered 5 dollars;
• Bet on a column is made on twelve numbers as well as the previous one, contains numbers included in one of three lines (for example, 3, 6, ... 33, 36 or 1, 4, ... 31, 34), and has three possible options. The payout is 2 to 1, as in a dozen bet;
• Bet on colour (red or black) includes 18 numbers of a certain colour and has two possible options. It is one of the most common bets among the greater part of beginning players, as it is the basis of the popular Martingale system. The triggering bet brings a profit of 1 to 1, i.e. for every 5 dollars you get exactly the same amount;
• Bet on odd or even is essentially the same as the previous one with the only difference being that it is made not on colour, but on the evenness or oddness of the number;

Bet on big or small numbers practically does not differ from the last two; the only difference is that the numbers from 1 to 18 or from 19 to 36 are in game.

Conclusion

All existing types of bets and the amount of payments the casino will make in case of your winning are described in this article. Although, the beginners should draw their attention to another point. If the bet triggered, the amount displayed on the screen includes the payment made by the casino plus the size of your bet, which creates the illusion that the casino actually pays more than it is indicated in the payout table. In fact, it is not the case. For example, with a bet of 10 dollars per dozen, we get a win of 20 dollars, however, we see 30 dollars displayed and many beginners believe that they won 3 to 1; in reality, the win is 2 to 1 plus the initial bet. This point is noteworthy because using any system with insufficient experience, it is possible to make serious miscalculation and go into the red.
