en plein roulette

What are the odds in roulette? The roulette odds of winning a round depend on the number of outcomes covered in the bet. If you bet on only one number, you are facing 1-in-37 odds in European roulette and 1-in-38 odds for the American version. In both cases however, the roulette payout for straight bets is 35:1.

A player may bet on single numbers, rows of numbers, or on adjacent numbers. A player also may play colors, odd or even numbers, among others. A bet on a single number pays 35 to 1, including the 0 and 00. Bets on red or black, odd or even pay 1 for 1, or even money.
