What Is a Roulette Bet Called?

A roulette bet is called a wager. A wager is a bet made on the outcome of an event. The word “roulette” is French for “little wheel.” A roulette bet is called a wager because it is a bet made on the outcome of the spin of a roulette wheel. There are many different types of roulette bets. The most common type of bet is a straight-up bet. This is a bet on a single number. If the number comes up, the player wins 35 to 1. The next most common type of bet is a split bet. This is a bet on two numbers that are next to each other on the roulette wheel.

PRO TIP:Roulette bets are typically identified by their corresponding position on the betting board. Most bets are named after the number of segments they cover, e.g. a ‘corner’ bet covers four numbers, a ‘street’ bet covers three numbers in a row, and a ‘split’ bet covers two numbers adjacent to each other.

If either of the numbers comes up, the player wins 17 to 1. There are also bets on three numbers, four numbers, six numbers, and twelve numbers. These are all called inside bets because they are bets on numbers that are inside the roulette table layout. There are also outside bets. These are bets on groUPS of numbers. For example, there is a bet on red or black, which pays 1 to 1 if the winning number is red or black. There is also a bet on even or odd, which pays 1 to 1 if the winning number is even or odd. There are many other outside bets as well.
