Roulette. In movies, on TV, and in literature, it\u2019s often depicted as glamorous, exciting, and ridiculously lucrative for whichever character spins the wheel. Winning big at the spinning wheel seems like a fantasy reserved for James Bond and other fictional high rollers. But it is possible to minimize risk and win big at the same time by knowing the best roulette bets. It all comes down to the numbers, and how you want to play them.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In American Roulette there are 38 numbers \u2013 1 through 36, a single zero, and a double zero. Besides the latter two, half the numbers are red, half are black, half are even, and half are odd. The 0 and 00 are green and obviously not even or odd. Betting on those will earn you a payout of 35:1 \u2013 but more on all that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that we\u2019ve got the bare bones of the Roulette wheel and the felt laid out, here are some of the best roulette bets you can make:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Continue reading for a more in-depth look at how these smart roulette bets can have you cashing out big time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n No other game on the casino floor gives players the chance of close to 50\/50 odds on a single bet. With the red\/black, evens\/odds, or 1-18\/19-36 bets, you\u2019re giving yourself the chance of hitting almost half the options on the Roulette wheel. But the 0 and 00 aren\u2019t counted \u2013 which gives you a pretty nice chance of winning. Granted, that means that the payout ratio is lower (1:1, bet $10 win $10). But by the numbers, it\u2019s one of the safest and best roulette bets you can go with when playing the wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Payouts for this can be surprisingly rewarding if you\u2019re willing to risk more money on each bet. Take Ashley Revell \u2013 he once bet $136,000 on a single spin of the Roulette wheel. Throwing down that sum of money on a single bet would make you sweat a little. But that the sum was the entirety of Revell\u2019s life savings. And they televised the entire event. So if Revell won, he\u2019d double his money and evoke envy and admiration from his spectators. If he lost, he\u2019d lose everything and earn deserved pity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Revell laid all his loot on red, and the wheel delivered \u2013 the ball landed on the red 7, and Revell walked away having doubled his life savings. However, we can\u2019t honestly recommend betting your entire net worth on a single spin of the wheel. Obviously, we wouldn\u2019t exactly characterize that as successfully minimizing risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is a 1:1 payout not exciting enough to motivate you to lay down some chips? Well, you can slightly up the ante and the payout to 2:1 by betting on the columns. By going with this second best roulette bet, you\u2019re bringing your option of numbers down to a little under a third. But you’re still betting on a column still covers a significant chunk of the felt while doubling your winnings. This means that a $10 bet will win you $20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Columns don\u2019t contain consecutive numbers. For example, the first column has 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, and 31. In addition, the number of red and black numbers differs between each column. We’ll cover this fact in a moment. And remember, the 0 and 00 aren\u2019t included in any of the columns. That’s because they\u2019re special and too good for all the other numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
