European roulette is the most popular roulette in the world, which has not changed its appearance for many years. Its rules are well-established, and all coefficients are well-known. To successfully play this game, let's get acquainted with the European roulette betting field and odds rules.

In European roulette, you have the right to make several bets at once. The calculation for each of them will take place separately in accordance with the payout table. In total, there are 11 types of bets in roulette. Let's take a look at them.

Types of Bets in European Roulette

• Straight up - a bet on a certain number, with a successful outcome, it is paid at a ratio of 35:1. Such a forecast is the most risky.

Knowing all types of bets and payout ratios, you can quickly master the principle of playing European roulette.

All eyes on sector zero

Let us dwell in detail on the zero sector. It is he who gives an advantage to the gambling establishment. When the ball falls on zero, the player loses his bet (unless he bet on zero). However, in some variations of roulette, there are special rules for the zero sector.

En Prison is the rule that European roulette provides. According to it, the player loses only half of the amount of the bet on equal chances if the ball falls on sector zero.

Surrender is a rule that works in American Roulette and some of European roulettes. It is similar to En Prison and provides for the return of half the amount of the bet made on equal chances.

La Partage - in French roulette, the rules of the game are the same as in the American one. If the ball hits the zero cell, the player returns 50% of the bet for equal chances.

Combining bets

Roulette allows you to combine bets. You can bet on any selected numbers at the same time, while adding bets on equally likely events, columns, and so on. In this case, the winnings for each bet are calculated separately. Knowing the coefficients for the type of roulette you play, you can calculate the probabilities for any complex bet.

All roulette strategies are based on combining bets and making sequences of bets. Knowing the basic odds, you can create your own strategy.
