In roulette, there are many ways to win. Roulette strategies and systems are all over the internet and bookstores. In fact, more fortunes have been made selling these roulette systems and roulette strategies than actual winners in the roulette table. But you can turn that around and start winning at the roulette table using the right roulette bets. All you need to do is fully understand the game, and develop a intrinsic feel for what is happening during a session.

Knowing roulette bets is also very important. Playing in a haphazard, “I have a feeling” manner or relying on instinct is not going to get you anywhere near that big win. What will help you is knowing about inside and outside bets.

 

Outside Bets

 

An outside bet is one that is placed in a group of numbers or a single color. This means you will be betting on Black, Red, Even, Odd, 1st to 3rd group of 12 numbers, 1-18, 19-36, or on the columns. As you can see, the roulette outside bets are range of numbers, or number groupings. Some players prefer roulette bets like this because they have lower payouts and bigger odds for wins.

 

Inside Bets

Inside roulette bets is the clear opposite of the outside bets. Here you are placing roulette bets on specific numbers or a small group of numbers. The range and grouping is not all Red, or all Odd numbers - they are smaller.

There are several kinds of inside roulette bets you can choose from. Listed below are just a few:

1. Street Bet - This is an inside roulette bet on three numbers. Your ratio of winning a street inside bet is 11 to 1.

2. Split Bet - This is an inside roulette bet on two numbers. Here, you are playing with odds of 17 to 1

3. Five Number Bet - This is a single roulette bet on five numbers like 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. If any number wins the round, you win your bet.

4. Six Number Bet - Just like the five number bet, the six number roulette bet is a single bet on six numbers. Your odds of winning is 5 is to 1.

5. Corner Bet - This is a single bet on a corner which has 4 numbers. Your odds is 8 is to 1.

Learning how to place roulette bets takes time, which means you need to practice. You should consider getting a simulation roulette game to help you out. This is a great tool to have with you and will give you a fairly good idea how to strategize your game.

Playing under pressure can actually freeze your mind and stop you from thinking cohesively. This can cost you a lot of bucks in losses. Going through a simulation game will help mimic the pressure without actually playing with real money.

Aside from this, another way to learn how place roulette bets would be to watch from the sidelines how the experts do it. This, of course, cannot be done if you are playing online, but check out a local casino and see how it unravels. Then you can go back to your online roulette game, and have a fairly good picture of how the professionals make roulette bets.
