Special Bets in Roulette
There are 12 basic bets in roulette: single number (Straight), two numbers (Split), three numbers (Street), four numbers (Square), six numbers (Line bet), dozens, adjacent dozens, columns, adjacent columns, red or black, even or odd, high or low numbers. Except for these basic bets there are several specific bets.
Completing a Number in Roulette
Completing a number is made by nine chips – see the figures below. The amount of win depends on whether the winning number is situated in the middle or on the edge.
Figures – Completing a Number in Roulette
In terms of the first figure the win is maximal if number 8 comes up. The win consists of:
1 × 35:1 (Straight 8)
4 × 17:1 (Splits 5-8, 7-8, 8-9, 8-11)
4 × 8:1 (Squares 4-8, 5-9, 7-11, 8-12)
The overall payout is 135:1!
Final Bet (Finale)
The Final Bet or Finale (from French) is made on the last digit of a number. Fox instance Final Four means that you bet on the numbers 4, 14, 24 and 34. The bet on Final 1-6 requires 4 chips, while Final 6-9 gets along with just 3 chips.
Bet on Adjacent Numbers in Roulette (Voisins)
Sometimes you may feel that the ball has a tendency to fall into some pockets of the small wheel of the roulette more frequently. The wheel of roulette is manufactured with high precision. However one cannot cut out some microscopic inaccuracies. This circumstance can be utilised by betting on adjacent numbers (Voisins – French).
For instance if you would like to bet on number 17 and three adjacent numbers, then you hand 7 chips to the Croupier and say 17 Voisins. The chips are placed on three adjacent numbers on both left and right side. In this case it is 21, 2, 25, 17, 34, 6, 27. The overview of all adjacent numbers you can find here:
- Adjacent Numbers (Voisins) in French Roulette (Single zero only)
- Adjacent Numbers in American Roulette (Single and double zero)
Le Tiers du Cylindre, les Voisins du Zéro & les Orphelins
There can be three more special bets on the French wheel, namely: The Third of the Wheel (le Tiers du Cylindre), Zero Neighbours (les Voisins du Zéro) and The Orphans (les Orphelins). The first of these bets include 12 numbers from 33 to 27. The bet on the zero neighbours include 17 numbers in total from 25 to 22. And finally the Orphans represent the rest of the numbers of the French wheel, ie. 6-17 and 9-1.
