Five Number Bet

A Five Number Bet in roulette, also known as the 'Basket Bet', is a wager that covers five specific numbers: 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3. This type of bet is only available in American roulette, which features both a single zero (0) and a double zero (00).

How to Make a Five Number Bet?

To place a Five Number Bet, follow these steps:

Find an American roulette table with both 0 and 00.
Place your chips on the outer corner of the 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3 section of the betting layout. This is where these numbers intersect.
The bet covers all five numbers with a single wager.

How Does the Five Number Bet Work?

If the ball lands on any of these five numbers (0, 00, 1, 2, and 3), you win with a payout of 6:1.

Payout and House Edge

Payout: 6 to 1
House Edge: 7.89% (higher than most other roulette bets)

Because of its high house edge, many experienced roulette players avoid the Five Number Bet in favor of wagers with better odds, such as Even Money bets (Red/Black, Odd/Even) or Column Bets.
