Roulette Terminoligy

All games have their own slang, roulette is no exception. If one doesn’t know the lingo it is easy to get lost in conversation. In roulette there are terms that are related to making bets, here are some examples.

One can tell whether the bet being made is inside or outside instantly if they know the lingo, here are some terms that instantly indicate in outside bet. Here is a common outside bet that give an almost 50% chance to win, it is called either “high” or “low”, betting “high” means that your bet depends on whether or not the ball lands on numbers 19-36, betting “low” means that your bed depends on the ball landing on numbers 1-18.

More bets that offer near 50% odds are “black” or “red”, betting “black” meaning that the ball will rest on a black slot, and “red” that the ball will rest on a red slot. “Even” or “odd” are the last of the 50% outside bets, “even” means you are betting that the ball lands on an even number and “odd” means that you are betting that the ball lands on an odd number.

The bets that indicate an inside bet are less obvious, here are some examples. “Single” means that you are betting on a single number, if you are trying to make a single bet on the number six you would say “single six”. These bets are sometimes known as “straight bets”. The next betting term has two names it is known as a “square” or a “quarter”, it is a bet that pays out if you are betting on four adjoining numbers such as “28,32,11, and 30.” A “split bet” is a bet on two neighboring numbers like “28 and 32”.

If learning lingo isn’t really your thing than I suggest you play online roulette, since you don’t need to have all of the terms known by heart because you can look them up whenever you like.
