Lesson 3: Outside Bets |
|
|
|
|
|
Along the left side and bottom of the inside numbers are the outside bets. There are several different kinds of outside bets you can make. All outside bets can be made by simply placing your chips in the betting area. |
|

|
At the bottom of the inside betting area are the column outside bets. There is one outside betting section for each of the three columns of numbers. A bet on one of these is a bet that one of the 12 numbers in this column will come up at the end of the spin. The column bet pays 2 to 1. |
|

|
|
The rest of the outside bets are located along the left edge of the inside numbers. There are three outside bets called dozen bets on groups of twelve numbers, low (1-12), middle (12-24), and high (25-36). This bet pays 2 to 1. |
|
|
|
|
|
There are also three kinds of even bets. These are Even or Odd, Red or Black, and Low (1-18) or High (19-36). Each of these bets pays 1 to 1, even money. |

There are two special rules sometimes offered for even bets. Not all casinos offer these rules. The 'en prison" rule allows the player to take back half of his bet or leave the bet if the outcome of the spin is zero or double zero. If the bet is left and the next spin is again zero, the whole bet is lost. The 'la partage' rule is similar to the en prison rule only the player automatically loses half the even money bet, with no option to leave the bet for another spin. Both of these rules lower the casino's edge. On a single zero table the house advantage is cut to 1.35% and 2.63% on a double zero table. |
