Roulette Odds Defined: Payouts And Chances
For example, in American roulette the odds of hitting a single number with a straight-up wager are 37 to 1, since there are 38 numbers. However, the house solely pays out 35 to 1 on successful bets, with the identical odds for payouts on combination bets. This is due to the house edge, the place the home retains a share of all bets for itself.
