nummer roulette
Charles Wells might not have had the best reputation but he was good at roulette. One evening in 1891, Charles went to the world-famous Monte Carlo Casino Resort and started playing roulette enjoying a winning streak of a lifetime (winning 23 out of 30 consecutive spins).
It's a 9 chip bet covering 16 numbers either side of the zero, so a 17 number bet in total. In the example above, the blue chips are 5s and the pruple chips are 10s. The proper name for this bet is Grand Voisins du Zro: it's 17 numbers between (and including) 22 and 25 on a European Roulette Wheel.
Roulette Rules: Understanding the Basics
1
The aim: predict where the ball is going to land on a numbered wheel.
2
The bet: place chips on the number/s or groups of numbers.
3
The payouts: win between 1x and 35x your bet based on how specific your prediction was.
In the game of roulette, a player can place aR$5 bet on the number 25 and have a 1/38 probability of winning. If the metal ball lands on 25, the player gets to keep theR$5 paid to play the game and the player is awarded in additionalR$175. Otherwise, the player is awarded nothing and the casino takes the playerR$5.
The 0 (single zero) and the 00 (double zero) are the green slots on the roulette wheel. These pockets could receive a 35:1 payout if hit straight up. If there's a split, the payout could be 17:1. This type of bet is somewhat risky, but the payouts could be worth it.
As a general rule, 0 or 00 (the latter being mostly on American wheels but not elsewhere) will pay 35:1 odds just as any other single number bet. Of course, the zero(s) are the key to the house having an edge that guarantees that they make money in the long term.
