Gaming Tip – Roulette - a low odds game
Recognizing roulette is a game of chance, players need to know how to bet if they expects to win. At blackjack all the bets are even money. That is to say, if you bet $5, you win $5. The same is true on the Pass Line at craps. At baccarat you also hope to win the same amount as you bet. That idea should carry over to roulette. However, many players will bet long shots like single numbers, two, three or four numbers hoping for a big win. The odds against the player grow excessively high when selecting a small amount of numbers. Even-money, outside bets, like odd-even, red-black, and high-low, have low odds (1 to1) similar to blackjack, craps and baccarat. Try betting those spots the next time you play roulette.
