Roulette Odds -
The European Wheel
Despite the many stories about people loosing everything they have at the
roulette table- the odds of the roulette game is not bad at all - unless you
know haw to play perfect blackjack or video poker. Almost every bet on the
casino offers even odds - when you don't take the zero into calculation.
On the European roulette table there is 36 different numbers and a single
zero. The zero represents the casinos long term profit at the roulette
tables.
It's possible to do the following bets:
Red/Black: You can place a color bet on either black or red. The 36 numbers
are either black or red - 18 numbers are black and 18 numbers are red - so
if there was no green Zero the odds of this bet would be 50%. The odds of
this bet is 1-1
Odd/Even: Another 'even odds' bet is the odd or even number bets - where the
odds of winning would also be 50% if there was no green zero.
First Half/Last Half: Another bet with almost 50% chance of winning is the
first half or last half bet. When you bet on the first half you bet on the
numbers 1 to 18. When you bet on the last half you bet on the numbers 19 to
36. Again the chances of winning is almost 50%. The odds of this bet pays
1-1. This bet is also called a high/low bet.
First/Middle/Last Dozen: Wagering on a dozen numbers (12 numbers) can be don
with the numbers 1 to 12 or 13 to 24 or 25 to 36. The odds of this bet is
2-1.
First/Second/Third Columns: The roulette table is divided into 3 columns of
numbers - each column has 12 numbers. It's possible to bet on a columns of
numbers: Betting on the left column would be betting on the numbers 1-4-7-10
and so on. The odds for a column bet is 2-1
Two out of Three Dozens: This is a bet on either the numbers 1 to 24 or the
numbers 13 to 36. The odds of this bet is 1-2. So if you bet two units you
will get your original bet back plus one unit in winnings.
Two out of Three Columns: You can either bet on the two left columns or the
two right columns - the odds for this bet is 1-2
Six Number Combination: I will explain how you can bet on a six number
combination later - the odds of such a bet is 5-1
Four Number Combination: The odds of this bet is 8-1
Three Numbers: The roulette odds for this bet is 11-1
Two Numbers: Pays 17-1
Single Number Bet: Pays 35-1
Special Rules Found at Some Casinos:
The casinos edge is always the same except at some casinos that offer some
special rules if the ball lands on zero. Some casinos have special rules
around the small bets red/black - odd/even and first half/last half when the
ball lands on zero. There is two variations of this special zero rule:
In Prison: When the ball comes to a rest on zero the three types of bets
mentioned above will not be collected by the croupier - instead they will
have to stay on the table - in other words they are in prison. In the next
spin the players have a chance of winning there original bet back - if there
bet wins they will get there original bet back but no additional win. If the
ball should land on zero once again the bets will remain in prison one more
spin and so on. This special rule is great for the players as it reduces the
casinos edge to only 1.35%
La Partage: When the ball comes to a rest on zero - the three types of bets
mentioned above will not be fully collected by the croupier. Only half of
the players bets will be collected - the rest will be returned to the
players. Similar to the In Prison rule the La Partage rule also reduces the
casinos edge to only 1.35%
