As mentioned earlier, there are three main types of roulette. Although they all have the same payouts for similar bets, the casino’s advantage (mathematical expectation) is different for them.

Various types of bets are available in roulette:
- 11 in the Us
- 10 in the European version
Each card covers a certain range of numbers (or one number) and is paid differently in case of a win.
In the same game, a player can make a variety of bets and combine them in any order. For example, you can bet on red, the first dozen, and a certain number.
The first six types of bets are placed within the boundaries of the playing field and are called number bets (or inside bets). All other bets are placed on special fields at the edges of the playing field (outside bets)
Bets on numbers (Inside bets)
Bet on one number (Straight Up)
The chip is placed on the field with the selected number, and you can also bet on 0 (Zero) and 00 (Double Zero). There are 38 different betting options available. The bet wins if the ball falls on the selected number.
Example: A
Bet on two numbers (Split Bet)
The chip is placed on the line separating any two numbers, i.e. it is possible to bet both on 0 and 00, and on 0 in combination with any number in the first row. There are 57 different betting options available. The bet wins if the ball falls on any of the selected numbers.
Example: B
STRAIGHT or three-number bet (Street Bet)
The chip is placed on the line that separates the numbered field from the outer area and covers all three numbers in the selected row. There are 12 different betting options available. The bet wins if the ball falls on any of the three numbers in the selected row.
Example: C
Four-number bet (Corner Bet)
The chip is placed on the point of contact of four numbers. There are 22 different betting options. The bet wins if the ball falls on any of the four numbers.
Example: D
A bet on five numbers (Five Number Bet)
The only way to make this bet is to place the chips as shown in figure (E). The bet wins if the ball falls on any number: 0, 00, 1, 2, 3.
Example: E
Bet on two rows – six numbers (Line Bet)
The chip is placed on the outer line at the point where the two rows meet. There are 11 different bet options, which wins if the ball falls on any of the six numbers belonging to these two rows (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
Example: F
Outside bets (Outside bets)
Bet on a column or column (Column Bet)
There are 12 numbers in each column on the playing field. The chip is placed on the field marked “2 to 1” and covers all the numbers in this column (but not “0” and “00”!). There are 3 bid options available.
Example: G
Bet on a dozen (Dozen Bet)
The chip is placed on the field with the designation of the selected dozen. As with Column Bet, there are 3 possible betting options.
Example: H (the Third dozen are numbers 25 to 36).
Red or Black (Red or Black)
The chip is placed on “RED” or ” BLACK “(red or black) and covers all red or black numbers, respectively. Zero and Double Zero have no color and if you get 0 or 00 you lose your bet.
Example: I (Red)
Even or Odd (Even or Odd)
Similar to “RED/BLACK”, but the bet is placed either on even or odd numbers. Just like the previous bet, Zero and Double Zero are not covered by this bet.
Example: J (Odd numbers)
Small or Large (Low or High)
The playing field is divided into two groups: numbers from 1 to 18 (small) and from 19 to 36 (large). You place a bet on the corresponding field, trying to guess which group the next number will belong to. If you get 0 or 00, you lose your bet.
Example:
