Online Roulette Odds

When wagering any money on any game it is important to know the odds against winning. There are a variety of different bets that an online roulette player can place and the odds vary slightly with the bets placed.

Inside bets offer lower odds but higher payouts whilst outside bets have better odds but lower payouts. The odds for American online roulette can be calculated as follows.

The odds against winning when betting on any single number are 37 to 1. Betting on any two numbers (a ‘split’) has 18 to 1 odds against winning. The odds against a ‘trio’ bet are 11.667 to 1 which are similar with the ‘street’. The odds against winning a ‘corner’ or ‘square’ bet are 8.5 to 1whilst betting on a ‘six line’ has odds of 5.33 to 1 against. If you place a bet on any column of twelve numbers or any dozen numbers produces odds of 2.167 to 1 against. If you bet on either red, black, even, odd, first 18 or last 18 then there are odds of 1.111 to 1 against you.

As you can see the odds get increasingly better with the ‘outside’ bets, however the pay-out rates are lower with this type of bet. The payout rate generally corresponds with the likelihood of it occurring. ‘Inside’ bets are more risky but have higher pay-out rates. Check the fine print or the rules of the online casino you wish to play in to see the exact pay-out rates in online roulette as these may vary between online casinos.

Also, the odds above are for American online roulette. The house advantage is slightly higher in this game as there is both the ‘0’ and the ‘00’. European online roulette just has the one ‘0’ and therefore the house advantage is lower.
