What does "Inside Bet” mean in roulette?

In roulette, inside bets refer to wagers placed on the numbers located in the central area of the roulette table. These bets provide a range of options with different levels of risk and payout. Here are the most common types of inside bets:

Types of Inside Bets

  • Straight Up Bet: A bet placed on a single number. This is the simplest and most straightforward bet, offering the highest payout if won. A straight-up bet pays 35 to 1 if the selected number is hit.
  • Split Bet: A bet placed on two adjacent numbers, placed on the line that separates them. For example, a split bet could cover numbers 24 and 27. This bet pays 17 to 1.
  • Corner Bet: A bet placed on four numbers, positioned at the corner where these numbers meet. For example, a corner bet could cover numbers 8, 9, 11, and 12. The payout for a corner bet is 8 to 1.
  • Street Bet: A bet placed on three consecutive numbers in a horizontal line. For example, covering numbers 13, 14, and 15. A street bet pays 11 to 1.
  • Line Bet: A bet placed on six numbers, positioned at the junction of two street bets. For example, covering numbers 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36. Line bets pay 5 to 1.

Now that you understand what inside bets are, explore the different options and choose the one that best fits your playing style. Good luck!
