Learning to play roulette is simple. All that needs to be learnt are the different bets available to you. It is simply a case of placing your chips in the appropriate spot on the betting layout and waiting to see which numbered pocket the ball falls to see if you have won or lost.

The different bets can be categorised in two different ways, inside bets and outside bets each bet is described as follows.

The Inside Bets

Straight Bet

This is a bet on any single number. To place this bet just position your chip in the middle of the square on the betting layout corresponding to the number you want to bet on. If the bet wins you are paid out at odds of 35/1. Therefore if you had bet £10 you will receive your ten pounds back plus £350 winnings.

Split Bet

This is a bet on any two adjoining numbers on the betting layout. To place this bet position your chips on the line between the two numbers you want to bet on. If the bet wins you are paid out at odds of 17/1.

Street Bet

This is a bet on a row of three numbers on the betting layout. To place this bet position your chips on the line at the end of the row of three numbers you want to bet on. If the bet wins you are paid out at odds of 11/1.

Corner Bet

This is a bet on any block of four numbers on the betting layout. To place this bet position your chips on the intersection of the two lines in the middle of the four numbers in the block you want to bet on. If the bet wins you are paid out at odds of 8/1
