What is an inside bet?
In roulette, an inside bet is where you put your chips on individual numbers inside the π roulette grid. Because youβre focusing on individual numbers, rather than any red number for example, the roulette odds are significantly π reduced. However, with the higher risk comes a greater reward, so your payout would be more generous.
Putting your chips on π a single number is called a straight-up bet, and this is the most common type of inside bet, paying out π at 35:1 in European and American Roulette.
What is an outside bet?
Outside bets are made by placing your bet on options π outside of the numbered roulette grid. These bets increase your chances of winning on each spin, but pay out less π than an inside bet would.
