Review Online Casinos

Betting Options and Payouts - 

  Here is where the skill is involved. The Player needs to decide what risk they are willing to take. Do you want to place a chip over a single number for a big payout, or do you want to cover most numbers on the table for a smaller, less risky payout?

Black/Red, Even/Odd, 1 to 18/ 19 to 36 Bets.

 These bets pay out at 1 to 1. So if you bet $10 on Black, by placing a chip on the Black dot, and any number with a black background came up, you win $20, including the return of your stake. These are relatively low- risk bets, you have slightly less than a 50 - 50 chance of winning the bet. Why slightly less? Because of the '0' on the table, and wheel, this gives the house an edge of some 2.7%

Single Number Bets (Straight - Up Bet).

 Here you want to get a high payout. In the example above, if the Player had put $10 on the number 32, they would have won $360, including the return of the bet. It's a great return, but highly risky. Note that the Player can also bet on the '0' coming up.

Dozens / Column Bets.

 Place your chips on any of the '1st, 2nd or 3rd 12' sections for a Dozens bet, or at the bottom of any column of numbers marked '2 to 1'. If you had placed a $10  '3rd 12' bet, and the number 32 came up, you win $30.

Split Bet.

 A bet on two numbers adjacent to each other, such as 8 and 11. Place the chips between these numbers for a 17 to 1 payout.

Street Bet.

 Place your chips at the bottom of a row of 3 numbers, for example 22, 23, 24. This pays out at 11 to 1.

Corner Bet.

 Place your chips at the cross between 4 numbers, for example 13, 14, 16, 17. This pays out at 8 to 1.

Six number Bet.

 Similar to a Street Bet, but place the chips at the bottom of two rows, covering six numbers, for example, 7, 8, 9, and 10, 11, 12. This pays out at 5 to 1.

 Combination Bets.

 There is nothing to stop you placing any combinations of bets that you want, even ones that cover the entire table, and several such bets are detailed on this site. If you use these with a sensible staking plan, you can greatly improve your chances of coming away a winner, but the critical point to remember is to quit while you are ahead.

 Here's a popular example -

 Place two chips on 'Black' Place one chip on the column containing the numbers 1 to 34, (1st column), and one chip on the column 3 to 36, (3rd column). This gives you a total stake of 4 chips, but covers every number except 0, 5, 14, 23, and 32.

 Combine it with the popular 1,3,2,6, staking plan. So if you lose the first bet, go up to 6 chips on black, and 3 on each of the columns. If you lose again, go back down to 4 chips on Black, and 2 chips on each column. If you again lose, (unlikely, but possible), put 12 chips on black, and 6 chips on each column. Hence the 1, 3, 2, 6, name. You can lose 5 times in row, and still come ahead with a winning streak.

 En prison Rule.

Some casinos offer the En Prison bet. This applies to Even-Money bets only, and when the outcome is a '0', the Player can either take back half their stake, or leave the bet 'En prison', for another roulette spin. This cuts the house edge to below 1.5%.

Section Bets.

Some casinos, such as Cherry Red, have an oval section nest to the table which offers a number of betting combinations with one click, for example -

Voisins Du Zero - which covers 0/2/3, 4/7, 12/15, 18/21, 19/22, 25/26/28/29, and 32/35, all with one click.

Ophans - which covers 1, 6/9, 14/17, 17/20 and 31/34, with one click.

Tiers Du Cylindre - which covers 1, 5/8, 6/9, 10/11, 13/16, 14/17, 17/20, 23/24, 27/30, 31/34, and 33/36.
