Roulette Outside Bets
Posted on 29. Oct, 2011 by admin in Games
I have always loved playing roulette, whether it is online or offline at top casinos. This game is purely chance-driven, making it one of the most exciting casino games to play. Of course, there are various betting options you can use to win money and stay profitable, but in this part we are going to focus more on roulette outside bets.
Red/Black bet and the Odd/Even bet are the two first outside bets available in the game of roulette. With the Red/Black bet, you are betting on either 18 black numbers or 18 red numbers; as the name suggests, Odd/Even bet represents betting on odd or even numbers. These bets pay even money.
Dozen bet covers 12 numbers in one row and pays 2 to 1. You can bet on 1-12, 13-24 or 25-36 by placing your chips in the right box. Of course, if 0 or 00 comes up then you lose your bet.
The next one, the Column bet, also covers 12 numbers. Instead of covering 12 consecutive numbers, this bet covers 12 numbers in one column. This bet pays 2 to 1 as well, similar to the Dozen bet we discussed earlier. When used with the Red/Black bet, Column bet can actually be a powerful instrument to help you stay profitable. If you place a Red bet, for example, you can place Column bet on Column 2 (under the number 35) to cover 8 Black numbers; you will be covering a total of 26 numbers this way.
