What Is Wager in Roulette?

Wager in roulette is the total amount of money that a player is willing to bet on a single spin of the roulette wheel. The amount of money that a player can bet on a single spin is limited by the house rules of the casino where the game is being played.

In most casinos, the minimum wager for a single spin is $5. The maximum wager varies from casino to casino, but is typically $500.

There are two types of wagers that can be made in roulette: inside bets and outside bets. Inside bets are bets on specific numbers or groUPS of numbers on the roulette table layout.

Outside bets are bets made on groUPS of numbers that are not located next to each other on the table layout.

Players can make as many wagers as they like on a single spin of the roulette wheel, but the total amount of all their wagers must not exceed the table limit. For example, if the table limit is $100 and a player makes an inside bet worth $50 and an outside bet worth $50, then their total wager for that spin would be $100, which is within the limit.

The house edge in roulette comes from the fact that there are more possible outcomes for an outside bet than an inside bet. For example, there are 18 possible outcomes when betting on red or black (a 1-in-2 chance), but there are 37 possible outcomes when betting on a specific number (a 1-in-37 chance).

This means that, over time, players will lose more money by making outside bets than by making inside bets.
