What Is Split Bet in Roulette?

A split bet is a wager on two numbers that are next to each other on the roulette table. This bet pays out at 17 to 1 odds.

To make this bet, simply place your chips on the line between the two numbers you are betting on.

There are a few things to keep in mind when making split bets. First, remember that the roulette wheel is divided into 38 sections, 18 of which are red, 18 are black, and 2 are green.

This means that your odds of hitting your number are 1 in 38, or approximately 2.6%.

Second, because you are essentially betting on two numbers, your chances of winning are actually a bit lower than this. If you bet on two numbers that are next to each other, you have a 1 in 19 chance of hitting one of your numbers.

And if both of your numbers hit, you will only receive 17 to 1 odds instead of the 35 to 1 odds that you would receive if you had bet on just one number.

So, while a split bet can be a good way to increase your chances of winning a little bit, it is important to remember that it is still a risky bet. The best way to win at roulette is to stick with the bets with the Lowest house edge, like red/black or odd/even.
