French Roulette Bets

When it comes to the game based around the big spinning wheel, there are quite a few different French Roulette bets that you could choose from. These range from the inside bets, which are very risky as they have a low chance of coming up but do pay out very well, and the outside bets which give you a bigger chance of winning but a smaller pay out every time. Deciding which bet to take is the full extent of your participation in this game, and it can have a huge bearing on what you win back – after all, any number on the wheel can come up in a wide range of different bets, and it is the odds that you select that determine the size of your win. It is certainly something to think about very carefully!

The inside French Roulette bets you could place start with the so called Straight, which is a single number bet. This is the most daring bet on the whole table, and it requires you merely to place your chips on the corresponding number square, from zero to thirty six. At this point it is important to note that this is the one of the only bets including the green zero, often referred to as the house number, since this is one where the casino normally wins as people rarely bet on it and it cannot be used in any wider bets. The Split covers to adjoining numbers, and to make this bet you simply place your chips on the line that intersects them on the table. A Street is a bet on three numbers, which covers a horizontal line on the betting table, and you simply place your bet on the edge of the number at the end of the line in this case. Other bets in the inside category include a Corner, which is four numbers, a Double Street which is six numbers over two rows, a Trio which is a selection of three numbers out of 0, 1, and 2 or 1, 2, and 3, or a Basket which is 0, 1, 2, and 3.

In terms of outside bets, it steadily becomes more and more likely that you will manage to get a hit with your selection. A Manque bet is the numbers between one to eighteen, while a Passe bet goes for the numbers nineteen to thirty six to choose opposite sides of the betting table. A Dozen bet takes in either the first, second, or third groups of twelve numbers that can be found on the board, while a Column line also takes twelve but in the way that they lay on the betting table rather than in numerical order. The most popular and least risky French Roulette bets are those which are black or red, or odd or even, giving you just under a fifty per cent chance of your number coming up and paying out, normally at double the bet that you placed.
