Types of bets in European Roulette

The betting layout in the European roulette table has two sections – one for the bets on individual numbers and another for the group bets. In this version of the game, the players can benefit from two kinds of bets, inside and outside bets. The inside bets are usually made on a single number, any adjacent numbers, or small groups of numbers, whereas the outside bets include more substantial groups of numbers.

The majority of bets present different odds of winning and, accordingly, different payouts from each other. All these payouts and the respective odds of winning are mostly not leaned on the board; the only exception is in case of the column bet’s payout.
