Key:
- Blue bets = outside bets. These are the bets that cover large, fixed sections of the table. These probability of winning with these bets is greater, but they have low payouts.
- Green bets = inside bets. These bets cover specific numbers on the table depending on where you place your chips. The payouts for inside bets are bigger, but the probability of hitting is lower.
* This bet can only be placed on a double-zero roulette table (i.e. on an American table and not a European or French one). It covers the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3.
Individual roulette bets in more detail.
Here is a quick overview on the different types of roulette bets and odds of each bet that can be made in roulette.
There is also a small image accompanying each bet to highlight how to place each of the bets at the table. Some of these bets you may well have previously overlooked, so pay attention!
The following list is ordered by the payout of each roulette bet, starting with the lowest payouts and moving to the bigger payouts as you scroll down. The payouts are in orange, and the win probability of each bet is in brackets in blue, assuming a European table (single-zero) is used.
Red / Black - 1:1(48.65%)
Also known as: Colour bet
| Payout | 1:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 48.65% |
| American Probability | 47.37% |
| Total Numbers | 18 |
| Numbers Covered | Black = (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35) Red = (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 32, 34, 36) |
A colour bet is a very popular bet, and gives odds of 1:1. So lets say for example you bet $5 on red, and after spinning the wheel the ball lands on red. You will get your $5 back, as well as an additional $5 in winnings, returning $10 in total.
Even / Odd - 1:1(48.65%)
| Payout | 1:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 48.65% |
| American Probability | 47.37% |
| Total Numbers | 18 |
| Numbers Covered | Even = (2, 4, ..., 36) Odd = (1, 3, ..., 35) |
Similar to the colour bet, the even or odd boxes offer the same payouts with equal odds for hitting even or odd as there are for hitting red or black. Unfortunately, the green '0' does not count as either even or odd.
Low (1-18) / High (19-36) - 1:1(48.65%)
| Payout | 1:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 48.65% |
| American Probability | 47.37% |
| Total Numbers | 18 |
| Numbers Covered | Low = (1 - 18) High = (19 - 36) |
These bets split the table in half, with one bet allowing you to bet on all of the lower half of the numbers (1-18) and the other half allowing you to bet on all of the higher numbers (19-36). Also known as the 'low bet' and 'high bet'.
Dozen - 2:1(32.43%)
| Payout | 2:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 32.43% |
| American Probability | 31.58% |
| Total Numbers | 12 |
| Numbers Covered | 1st Dozen = (1 - 12) 2nd Dozen = (13 - 24) 3rd Dozen = (25 - 36) |
The dozen bet allows players to bet on 3 different sections containing 12 numbers, which are; 1-12, 13-27 and 28-36. This bet offers slightly higher odds (2:1) than an even money bet, but the chances of winning on one spin are a little lower.
Column - 2:1(32.43%)
| Payout | 2:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 32.43% |
| American Probability | 31.58% |
| Total Numbers | 12 |
| Numbers Covered | 1st Column = (1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34) 2nd Column = (2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35) 3rd Column = (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36) |
The column bet is very similar to the dozen bet, but instead splits the table into 3 sections length-ways rather than side-ways. Each of these bets also offer odds of 2:1, just as with the dozen bets.
6 Numbers - 5:1(16.22%)
Also known as: Six line bet, Double street bet
| Payout | 5:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 16.22% |
| American Probability | 15.79% |
| Total Numbers | 6 |
| Numbers Covered | e.g. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 |
This particular bet is not always available at online casinos, but can still be played at the majority of them. Often overlooked by many novice players, this bet allows you to bet on 6 numbers at a time via a bet split between two adjacent rows.

5 Number - 6:1(13.16%)
Note: This bet can only be placed on American roulette tables (ones with the green 00).
Also known as: Five number bet, Top line bet, Basket bet
| Payout | 6:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | n/a |
| American Probability | 13.16% |
| Total Numbers | 5 |
| Numbers Covered | 0, 00, 1, 2, 3 |
The 'five number bet' holds the title for the worst bet in roulette. The house edge for this bet is 7.89%, and it's the only bet to have a bigger (worse) house edge than any other. Every other bet on a double-zero roulette has a house edge of 5.26%.
If you're playing American roulette – which you shouldn't be anyway – avoid this bet.
4 Numbers - 8:1(10.81%)
Also known as: Corner bet, Square bet
| Payout | 8:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 10.81% |
| American Probability | 10.53% |
| Total Numbers | 4 |
| Numbers Covered | e.g. 11, 12, 14, 15 |
Also known as a 'square bet' or 'corner bet'. The 4 number bet allows you to bet on 4 adjoined numbers at a time. The chances of hitting any of these numbers is relatively low, but there is a decent payout for when you get lucky.
3 Numbers - 11:1(8.11%)
Also known as: Street bet, Line bet
| Payout | 11:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 8.11% |
| American Probability | 7.89% |
| Total Numbers | 3 |
| Numbers Covered | e.g. 16, 17, 18 |
This bet involves similar placement to that of the 6 number bet, except for the chip is placed on the edge of one row, rather than spread across two. This bet is also known as the 'street bet' or 'stream bet'.
Alternative 3 number bets.
You can also place 3-number bets at the top of the table using the green zero(s). These can be placed in both single-zero and double-zero roulette, although you have an extra 3-number bet in double-zero roulette courtesy of that extra 00 number.
The payouts and probability for this bet are the same for the respective roulette tables as the street bet above.
2 Numbers - 17:1(5.41%)
Also known as: Split bet
| Payout | 17:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 5.41% |
| American Probability | 5.26% |
| Total Numbers | 2 |
| Numbers Covered | e.g. 22, 23 |
This is where the odds start to get pretty big. A 2 number bet or 'split bet' allows you to bet on two adjacent numbers, offering you some pretty attractive odds of 17:1 - the second biggest payout available at a roulette table.
You can place a split bet across two numbers vertically or horizontally (if that makes any sense). In the screenshot above for example, you could just as easily bet on 22+25 or 22+19 instead of 22+23.
Single Number - 35:1(2.70%)
Also known as: Straight bet
| Payout | 35:1 |
|---|---|
| European Probability | 2.70% |
| American Probability | 2.63% |
| Total Numbers | 1 (no prizes, sorry) |
| Numbers Covered | e.g. 32 |
The single number bet or 'straight bet' is the big one, offering the greatest payouts at the roulette table of 35:1. Simply place your bet on one number and hope to get lucky.
Final thoughts.
So those are all of the different bets and odds of each of the bets when playing roulette online (or live for that matter). There is no restriction to how many different bets you can place at the roulette table, so go wild and see how it turns out. Just remember to enjoy yourself!

Can You Win Playing Roulette?
It’s easy to fall into the trap of only thinking about the percentage of the house edge of casino games, but many times you end up losing less per hour, and in turn being able to play longer, by playing a higher edge house game.
One of the main advantages of playing roulette is you play fewer spins per hour than you play hands per hour at the blackjack table, baccarat table, or at the video poker machine. When you combine this with the simple game-play where all of the bets have the same edge, roulette is a good choice for many casino players.

Bet Types Explained
There are two types of bets that a player can place –inside and outside bets. These are relative to where you would actually place your chips on the table. Learning the type of bet and where to place the bet will help you know what your possible roulette payout will be.
Inside Bets
Single or StraightThis is a bet on a single number and is made by placing a chip or chips covering the number completely inside the box surrounding the number. |
SplitA bet on two numbers, a split is made by placing a chip or chips on the line between two numbers. |
StreetA street bet is on three numbers across the display, such as 31, 32, and 33. This bet is made by placing a chip or chips on the outside edge line on either end of the street. In this example, you place a bet on the leftmost line of the 31 or the rightmost line of the 33. |
Corner or SquareA corner or square bet is a bet on four numbers made by placing a chip or chips on the corner shared by all four numbers. |
Six Line or Double StreetThis is a bet on two streets made by placing a chip or chips on the outside line where the two streets meet. |
TrioA trio bet is a bet on three numbers that include at least a zero or double zero. The bet is made by placing a chip or chips on the intersecting line of the three numbers. |
Basket or First FourA bet on numbers zero, one, two, and three on a single zero wheel, made by placing a chip or chips on the outside corner of the zero and one or zero and three. |
Top Line or Five NumberA bet on the double zero, zero, one, two, and three on a double zero wheel, made by placing a chip or chips on the outside corner of the zero and one or double zero and three. |

How the Roulette House Edge Works
Roulette Table Odds Calculator Express Entry
Bets in roulette range from simple ‘coin flip’ chances such as red or black, to inside bets which have payouts of a huge 35-to-1. Having an understanding of how these odds are calculated and how they affect your overall bankroll and betting strategy can help your Roulette game immensely. This includes understanding which wheel has the best return on the bets you make.
What is the House Edge in Roulette?
House edge is the long-term profit casinos make from every bet. This will vary between games (Keno is particularly loathsome at 27% while basic bets in Baccarat are under 1.25%). Roulette’s house edge clocks in at 5.26% for the US wheel and 2.7% for the single zero European version.
How is the House Edge Calculated?
A straight-up bet requires 1 of 38 numbers (the 1-36 numbers along with 0 and 00) to come in, meaning you are facing odds of 37-1 against your number winning (36-1 against with the European wheel).
35 to 1 Payout in Roulette
When you are lucky enough to win a straight-up bet, the payout is only 35-1. Putting this into dollar terms, a winning $1 bet on the number 19 will result in a $35 profit when the true odds dictate that you should receive $37 instead. Taking this into consideration, you can calculate the house edge of Roulette by simply taking that $2 difference and divide it by 38 (the total amount of numbers on the table).
It’s All About the Zeroes – Payouts for O and OO Roulette
For ‘outside’ bets the edge is controlled by the zeroes. When you bet on red/black or odd/even (for example) and the ball lands on the green zero – all bets lose.
This means that the US wheel makes these bets twice as likely to lose as the European wheel. There is a 3rd variation of the game, known as ‘French Roulette’, which returns half of your stake from even money bets when the ball hits the single zero slot. This lowers the house edge considerably. Though exactly how much, will depend on the proportion of inside and outside bets you make.
Roulette Payouts & Odds – Conclusion
If possible, try to find a French roulette wheel when you play, but at the very least stick with a European wheel.
The American wheels cut your playing time in half by charging you twice the house edge of the European wheels.
You can find European wheels in almost every online casino, including all of the ones we recommend on this site and in most land-based casinos. If you don’t see a single zero wheel ask someone. If they don’t offer one consider playing somewhere else.
