The Various Outside Bets On The Roulette Table

There are two different kinds of bets when you play roulette, outside bets are the easiest to win. Outside bets are more likely to win but deliver payouts that are far less impressive. Many of the outside bets offer close to 50/50 odds. These bets are considered the safest online roulette bets. If you like small incremental gains than making outside bets may be the best course of action. The following are several different types of outside bets that you can use when you play online roulette.

Many of the outside bets are very similar in principle, I will go over them now. One of the most popular bets offers 1:1 payout with almost 50% odds, it is called red, or black you either bet on the color red or the color black, after the wheel is spun if the ball is on the color you guessed than you win. Betting even or odd is to bet money that the ball will land on an even number or an odd number and offers a 1:1 payout and has an almost 50% chance of winning.

The bottom half of the roulette wheel consists of the numbers 1-18, the upper half has numbers 19-36, by betting high you bet the ball will end up on numbers 19-36, if you bet high or low and win you get paid 1:1. First Dozen, Second Dozen, and Third Dozen are bets on numbers 1-12, or 13-24, or 25-36, this bet offers double the return. There is another bet that allows you to bet on a dozen numbers however not a consecutive dozen, they are called column bets. Along with a roulette wheel there is also a roulette table, on this table is a map of each number, these numbers are within three different columns. By making a Column Bet you are betting that the ball will land on a number within your column, this bet also pays 2:1.
