Inside Bets

Inside Bets in roulette- they sound like a bit like “Insider Bets” don´t they, where you have some kind of angle on the result? Well, the “inside” refers to the area on a roulette table where you´d place your chips (or where you drag your chips online).

There are 3 basic groupings of bets in roulette. Outside Bets, Call Bets and Inside Bets which are bets like a wager on an individual straight up number, or a corner bet. You place your chips in the inside of the betting area, either on the numbers or lines separating the numbers.

Types of Inside Bets

Inside roulette bets are made in the central area of the betting area on a roulette table. They include:

• Straight-Up
  A bet on an individual number that pays out 35:1. Called “en plein” on a French table.
• Corner Bet
  A 4 number bet on the intersecting cross in the middle of the numbers. Pays out 8:10
• Five Number Bet
  A bet on 0,00,1,2 and 3 on an American wheel. The self styled “worst bet in town”. Avoid.
• Six Line Bet
  A bet on 2 lines of 3 numbers- half a dozen in total. 5-1 pay off if your numbers come in.
• Split Bet
  A bet across 2 numbers that pays out at 17:1
• Street Bet
  There are 12 streets of 3 numbers ona roulette table. Place your chip at the end for a 11:1 pay out.

Bet Volatility

Volatility is a measure of how frequent and large payouts will be. So a high volatility bet will pay out more but less often. An example is a single number bet. A low volatility bet will pay out more frequently a a lower rate. An example is a bet on Red.

It goes without saying that a single Inside Bet is more volatile than a single Outside Bet as you are covering less table. Try to mix things up a bit to keep your table coverage at a reasonable rate. OR, drop your bet level so that you can afford dry patches in between wins. This is all part of managing your bankroll sensibly. Yes, you might win a single number bet on the first spin and scoop a 35:1 payout, but it’s a riskier strategy. You are more likely to lose the bet.
