The
bets offered:

Below
are most of the bets offered in roulette. I too was a craps dealer that had to
learn the wheel in a casino. What I did to help myself, was get the list
below of all the bets and play on any of the various non-gaming roulette
downloads you can get on the internet. I simply kept making the bets over and
over until I remembered them. Part of dealing this game is picking up patterns
of players on the various bets made just like we do in dice.
Roulette consists of a wheel with
38 numbers, these include the numbers 1-36, 0, and 00. After all the bets have
been established the wheel is spun and a ball is placed on the outer edge of the
wheel.
The table layout is arranged so that the 36 numbers are arranged in 3 columns of
12 numbers each. The numbers are in sequence, and can be either red or black,
depending on the number. There are two types of roulette bets: inside bets and
outside bets. The 6 inside bets: straight bet, split bet, street bet, corner
bet, five number bet, and a line bet. There are three basic outside bets:
even-money, column, and dozen bets. You can place as many different types of
bets at any time. There are no limits to the number of wagers placed on each
spin.


INSIDE BETS
Straight Bet:
You can bet on one number by placing a chip in the center of the number you want
to place your bet on (1-36, 0, 00). If that number wins you are paid 35 to 1.
Split Bet or Two Number Bet:
You must place your chip on the line between two separate numbers. If the ball
lands on either of these numbers you win. The pay out is 17 to 1.
Street Bet or Three Number
Bet:
This allows you to cover three numbers in a row with one bet. To make this bet
place your chip in the outside line of the row you want to bet on. If one of
these three numbers comes up, you win. The payout is 11 to 1.
Corner Bet:
Place your chip in the center of four numbers and if one of these numbers comes
up, you win. Pays at 8 to 1.
Five Bet:
The only five number bet you can make is on the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. Place
your chip on the outside line that divides the 0 and 1. If any of these 5
numbers comes up you will be paid 6 to 1.
Six Number Bet:
Double street
Allows you to bet on two rows of three numbers. Place your chip in between the
outside line of the last numbers of the two rows. If any of the 6 numbers come
up you will be paid 5 to 1.
