The reasons why Roulette is one of the most sought after casino games in the world are numerous, but the variety of betting options ranks highly. 

Betting options vary around the world, but the most common options for the American roulette table are seven inside bets (also known as layout bets) and seven outside bets. 

The European roulette table only differs because there is one less inside bet due to the lack of a ‘double zero’, which removes the chance to bet on the first five numbers 0, 00, 1, 2 & 3. So, what are the best bets at the Roulette table?

If you are looking at how you can extract the most value from roulette, then the first rule of thumb will be to select a European roulette table.

American roulette tables possess a ‘double zero’ and this offers the house an increased edge. So, always try to bet on a European style roulette wheel, as your edge will improve from 5.26% to 2.7%.

Once you sit down at your European roulette wheel, the even-money bets offer you the greatest opportunity for value. 

These bets include the 1-18, 19-36, even/odd and the classic red or black. You can expect a probability win rate of 48.65% with the even money bets.
So, what are the worse bets at the Roulette table?

The bet with the most difficult probability of winning is the single number bet. On a European roulette wheel you have a 2.70% probability of hitting your lucky number, making it the worse bet on the board; despite it being the one of most exciting and more common!
