What Is Considered an Outside Bet in Roulette?

An outside bet in roulette is a bet placed on any of the large sections that make up the outside of the roulette table layout. These include the Dozens, Columns, the Red/Black, Odd/Even, and High/Low bets.

While these bets do not have the best odds in roulette, they do offer the player a chance to win a large payout for a small investment.
