How Online Roulette Odds Work

Roulette is a classic casino game that has been enjoyed for centuries. Today the new flavor is online roulette, exactly the same as classic roulette but much easier to access. There are many new players at online casinos that want to play online roulette but don’t understand how it works.

Online roulette is very easy to play; all that you really need to do is place your chips on the number that you think will come in on the roulette wheel. If you are right then you will win a certain amount, all depending on the number that you chose. This is determined by roulette odds, the way these odds are calculated is also very simple. If the number that you chose has very little chance of coming in then you will win a lot if it does, this is called a high odds bet. If the number or group of numbers that you chose has a very good chance of coming in on the roulette wheel then this is called a low odds bet and you will win a lot less.

Understanding Basic Roulette Odds

The way that roulette odds are calculated is based on true odds minus the zero number, on a single zero wheel there are thirty six numbers plus the zero and on a double zero wheel there are thirty six numbers plus a single zero and plus a double zero slot. This then means that the odds without the zero are thirty five to one on any single number coming in on the roulette wheel. The actual true odds will be calculated with the zero so on a single zero wheel the true odds of your number coming in are thirty six to one and on a double zero wheel they are thirty seven to one.
