Terms Used For Roulette Bets

Like any game, roulette has its own set of special lingo. If one doesn’t know the lingo it is easy to get lost in conversation. Here are the important terms when it comes to betting.

Outside bets and inside bets each have their own slang, here is some slang for some of the most common outside bets. “High” or “low” is an outside bet if you are betting “high” than you are betting that the ball will land on a high number 19-36, or if you are betting “low” you are betting that the ball will land on the numbers 1-18, they has roughly 50% chance of winning.

“Black” or “red” are also roughly 50% bets, if you are betting “black” than you are betting that the ball will land on a black space, if you are betting “red” than you are betting that the ball will land on a red space. The final 50/50 bets are the bets “odd” as well as “even”, with “odd” you win if the ball lands on an odd number and with “even” you win if the ball lands on an even number.

The bets that indicate an inside bet are less obvious, here are some examples. “Single” means that you are betting on a single number, if you are trying to make a single bet on the number six you would say “single six”. Betting on a single number are sometimes called “straight bets”. A “square” or “quarter” bet indicates that you are betting on a square of four numbers for example the numbers “28,32,11,and 30”. A “split bet” is a bet on two neighboring numbers like “28 and 32”.

Those are just some examples of the terms people use when it comes to roulette, however playing online roulette simplifies to whole process since you don’t have to deal with memorizing all of the lingo.
