There are many different ways in which you could bet while playing roulette and this article will attempt to explain several of these to you in a way that is easy to understand. I would like to begin with an explanation of how to play with straight up betting.
Straight up betting is where you place your bet on one or several numbers directly. You will want to place your chosen bet on that particular number that you want to win. Do you like the number 3? Play it. Go with your gut feeling and you should be able to do alright. The game’s winning number in this case is paid at 35 to 1 betting odds.
A Straight bet occurs when you place your bet squarely upon one number. Your bet must be completely centered upon the number. It cannot touch upon any of the nearby lines which enclose the number. If your selected number is the winning one you will receive the 35 to 1 betting odds.
Another type of bet is known as the split bet. In this case, your specific wager is positioned upon one of the lines between any two numbers. Should either of the numbers come up then you are paid your win at a, still commendable, 17 to 1 odds.
Still yet you have the three numbers bet, where you will place a single wager upon any one of the three different numbers. You would place this wager upon the outer border of the selected three numbers which you desire to bet on. These winning bets are paid at the 11 to 1 odds. This bet indicates that you want to bet on the three numbers which are going across the roulette layout.
You may also play four numbers as well. This bet would be placed in the center point of four numbers. It is where all four lines intersect. The odds are usually paid at 6 to 1.
I have only scratched the surface of the variations possible in playing roulette. I would suggest that you consult with a book written specifically for playing roulette if you wish to learn about all of the different bets that can be placed in this interesting game of chance.
