Roulette Odds

Roulette is a fairly simple game that gives players a chance to get a significant winning. The ball, spinning in a wheel, consisting of 38 (American) or 37 (European) sections with numbers from 0 to 36, randomly comes to one of numbers. The player’s task is to guess where the ball will stop on the next spin, and place chips on a roulette layout.
Roulette Rules
• There are eight types of bets, which determine European roulette odds:
1. Straight-Up Bets
The chip is placed directly on zero or one of the 36 numbers on the layout.
Roulette Odds: 35 to 1
2. Split Bets
Bet on the adjacent numbers on the layout. The chip is placed on the line dividing the two adjacent numbers. For example, a bet on 2 and 3 (horizontal line) or on 2 and 5 (vertical line).
Roulette Odds: 17 to 1
3. Street Bets(Trio or Three Number Bets)
A bet is made on three numbers, which are located in a horizontal line. The chip is placed on the horizontal line on the top of the layout on one of the columns of three numbers.  For example, 4, 5, 6.
Roulette Odds: 11 to 1
4. Quad  Bets (Corner Bets)
A bet is placed on four adjacent numbers on the layout. For example, 5, 6, 8, 9.

• Call or announced bets in roulette
In roulette, a player can make the “call” bet – bet on a set of numbers located next to each other on the wheel. There is a special field for them on the layout – “track.”
There are five types of call bets:
1. Neighbors
Bet is made on the number and four of its neighbors on the wheel (two on both sides). If the ball comes to one of these numbers, the player gets one-fifth of the total bet on the neighbors and the winning, the remaining part of the total bet loses.
Roulette payouts: 35 to 1
2. Zero spiel or Zero game
Bet is made on the numbers closest to zero: 12, 35, 3, 26, 32, 15. The player wins if the ball comes to any of these numbers.
Roulette payouts:
a) If the winning number is 26 – you get 35/4 of the total bet
b) if the winning numbers are 12, 35, 3, 0, 32 or 15, then you get 17/4 of the total bet

b) if any of numbers 4, 7, 12, 15, 18, 21, 19, 22, 32 or 35 wins, the player gets 1/9 of the bet and the winning – 17/9 of the bet, the rest is lost
c) if any of 25, 26, 28 or 29 wins, the player gets 2/9 of the bet and the winning – 16/9 of the total bet, the rest is also lost.

5. Orphelin (from the French Orphelin – orphan)
Bet is made on 8 numbers (the other two sectors of the wheel outside the Neighbors and Thirds): 17, 34, 6, 1, 20, 14, 31, 9.
Roulette payouts:
