The Live Roulette Tables at Real Live Casinos Explained By Dan Roberts II At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

When you first walk up to a roulette table, you may find it a little intimidating if you have never played the game before. It looks like there are a million different wagers you can place and trying to figure them out and what they pay is a little rough on a beginner. Lucky for you that all you need to do is read the next few paragraphs and when you are done, you will know just as much as the roulette player that has been playing the game for 20 years.

When you first approach the roulette table, you will see 36 numbers that you can choose from and a 0 (a 00 is added on an American wheel). You will also see red and black squares, even and odd bets, first six, middle six, last six, high and low and street bets. It seems like a lot, but most of them are actually self explanatory.

The first type of bet is a straight bet and it pays 35:1. You can place your chip directly on any number, including the 0 or 00 and if the number comes out, you get paid at those odds. If you want to spread your money out a little more, you can do a split bet where you place your chip between 2 numbers and you if one of the two comes out, you get paid at 17:1. A street bet is when you bet a line all the way across, i.e. numbers 1-2-3, if one of these three numbers come out, you get paid 11:1. A corner bet is when you would put your chip on the common corner of 4 numbers and if any one of those four come out, you get paid 8:1 on your bet. You can also bet 6 numbers by placing your chip at the intersection of two rows on the side of the board, this is known as a six-line bet and it pays 5:1.

Now it is time to look at the betting opportunities outside of the numbers. If you look at the bottom of the board, you will see a spot to place a column bet. You can bet on the first, second or third column going vertical and if any number in the column that you bet on hits, you would win 2:1 on your bet. On the side of the board there are also spots called 1st dozen, 2nd dozen and 3rd dozen. They also pay 2:1 and you are wagering on numbers 1-12, 13-24 and 25-36.

The rest of the bets that you are going to find on the roulette wheel all pay even money and are the ones a lot of people just walk up and drop their chip on hoping to get lucky. The first of the even money bets are the color bets, black or red. You will have to place your wager for the minimum bet on the table and pick either black or red. If the number that hits is the same color as the color that you have wagered on, you win the amount that is equal to your bet. Another even money bet is the odd or even bet. It works exactly the same way as the color bet, you choose an even number and any even number comes out, you win. The last even money bet that you can choose from is a high or low bet. For this wager, you are betting either the top 18 numbers or the bottom 18 numbers (1-18 and 19-36).

A roulette wheel can look intimidating, but that is all there is to it. Now all you have to do is buy in and get in on the action!
