Roulette Inside Betting Odds
When it comes to roulette odds, there are two main versions, most notably the American system of roulette and also the European one.
Whilst they are almost both the same, and can be played with the same rules, there are differences in odds when you compare the two.
This means American roulette has odds for 1 in 38, and its European cousin has odds of 1 in 37. Twenty or thirty years ago however, American roulette also had an American eagle on the wheel, making the odds for the game 1 in 39.
The Roulette Wheel
Did you know that all the numbers on a roulette wheel add up to ‘666′? Some people say that this is because the creators signed a deal with the devil, but the truth of the matter is that the numbers on the wheel are not randomly placed there, yet carefully arranged so that each section adds up to either 37, or 39.
As a result, over around 10,000 spins, because of the calculated distribution of numbers, you can be assured that the game is random. Whilst initially the odds may seem slightly skewed, the game of online roulette for the large part is absolutely random.
For example, numbers from 1 to 12, or the first dozen, odds and evens and red or back are examples of other outside bets.
Odds and The House Edge
Across the world, there are various different incarnations of roulette and typically they both have different house edges.
