American roulette bets
In the American roulette it is possible to place 11 types of bets. Each type of bet covers a certain range of numbers, and each type has its own payoff rate.
American roulette table layout and payoffs
Let's look at the table layout. The short lines of three numbers each are called rows on the board, while the longer lines, each holding twelve, are called columns. The first six types of bets are all made on the numbered space or on the lines between them and are called inside bets, while the last five types are made on the special boxes below and to the center of the board and are called outside bets. Types of bets are illustrated and explained in the roulette wheel diagram and table below.
The letters in the blue circles correspond to the letters used in the Example. Bets A to F are called "inside bets". Bets G to K are called "outside bets".
